CHALLENGE.......the one, the original

Every so often, there is a week where life just gets very, very busy. There are extra errands to run, a trip to get ready for, the final days of preparation to major projects. Throw in a sick kid or two, and -whamo- there isn't a whole lot of time left for me..... or, I am guessing, you.
Today's errands? Drop off/pick up son at pre school, go to bank, edit a bunch of photos- of other people's families, drive to town to print out photos, do a "favor" for a friend, take kids to their gymnastics class, on and on.......
Oh- and one more little thing- we decided yesterday that we are putting our house up for sale next week....oh, and put a bid on a different house..... nothing to major, right?.....nothing to stress about......did I mention I have to go to the bank?....aaaack!
In the midst of all of this, I am of course, blogging, because, of course, I have nothing better to do, but it is good to take a quick little escape, a quick little moment to re-vamp. As I stare down at my thrown together clothes, brush back the unkempt hair from my face, this week's challenge is all to clear:

CHALLENGE........the one, the original

Ponytail Challenge

Fix your hair everyday this week. Whatever your "fall back on hair style" of choice is, you can't do it this week. Spend a few extra moments on you. Make yourself feel a little extra worth it. Even if you are just scrubbing toilets and folding laundry, you will feel better about yourself.

As for me, I actually do my best work and accomplish the most when under pressure. However, I definitely feel my best when I have spent just that couple extra minutes for me.

Anyone in?

#1...the Ponytail Challenge

Ponytails: Excuses, excuses.
The old standby.
The "I'm running late and don't have time to wash my hair."
The "I'm not going anywhere today, so why bother?"
The "I don't have time to do my hair."
The "My hair looks better up anyways."

Start today. (Whenever today is that you are reading this). No ponytails allowed ......for a week.....straight. You heard me. (Or would it be you read me?) None. Zilch. Zero. You must do your hair everyday for a week! AND it has to be done before noon.

If this challenge confuses you, then this blog is not for you.... unless "letting yourself go" also included a very very short haircut, then you still can be in on the action!

I want you all to know this challenge is going to be very hard for me, if not nearly impossible. However, I, Camille accept the challenge and encourage (make that request...ok beg) for the rest of you to accept too. Leave a comment accepting the challenge and here we go...... a full week of hair do's. Wow. I haven't done that since I was 20. Good luck!

Oh-yeah. No "alligator clips" either. No cheating! If the hair is up and didn't include at least a little effort, it is not a hair do, it is a "I let myself go" do. You all deserve to feel good about yourselves, so do it!
