CHALLENGE.........Grand Re-opening

Furniture stores do it all the time. Car lots too. In fact, I think our local furniture warehouse has "opened" 5 times.
SOOOO- the blog had a makeover, which means it is time to start over! It is the Grand Re-Opening of the Ponytail Challenge.

Back to basics.

Those who have been with me from the beginning- way back 3 months ago, skip ahead. Those who haven't, let me explain. It is so much more than a ponytail......

You know you have one. You have your standard "do." Your hair might be short, maybe long- maybe somewhere in between. Likely though, you do it the same, day after day after day. For me, it is in a ponytail. Not a cute ponytail- a grab the closest stretchy item (rubber band off the rolled up newspaper, the baby's headband, snip some old nylons w/the scissors- sounds crazy, but it works great), reach, slick, twist and voila- 15 seconds and I am ready for the day. Cute eh? Not really, but it could be- if I just took a little time for me.....even an extra 30 seconds to add a part & ribbon. A little pretty instead of a little frump.

Take some time just for you.

CHALLENGE.......Ponytail Challenge

You cannot put your hair in a ponytail for 1 week (If your standard "do" is something else, change that- you get the idea.)

Whatever. I hear your whining now. It is too hot. Are you serious? It is summer time. I have yard work to do. Blah. Blah. Blah.

You will thank me, I promise. Do your hair- you will look good and most importantly of all, you will feel good. I am not saying you can't pull your hair up- just pull it up with a little effort. IE: I can still wear my hair in a ponytail, but I need to actually brush it, part it, use a real hair elastic, and ohhhhhh....my....curl the ends even. Quite possibly, when it is 90 degrees tomorrow, I will put one of those cutesy scarf thingy's around my head too. Don't have a cutesy scarf thingy, but still adamant on a ponytail- (with effort, of course)? I saw a woman at a churchy function using a man's tie. It was darling! Anyhow, my point is...and we all know I tend to get a little off track....do your hair everyday for a week.

Also, seeing how this is a Grand Re-Opening, we definitely need a grand prize. Leave a comment to be in a drawing next week. The winner will receive $$$ from me for her favorite hair salon and/or a beauty supply place, like a gift card to Sally's or whatever happens to be the hair care place to go in the winner's hometown. $20

Put the Ponytail Challenge link button (see column on left), on your blog & get an extra chance. Be sure to let me know about it of course!

Here's to happy hair. Are you in?

By the way- for those who read yesterday's post....I am going to do it. Be prepared - I will be fishing for and needing encouragement. Maybe some of you will even play along.
