Summer is in full-swing and that means I've moved over from changing stuff around the house to changing stuff about me. That's right, summer is when I decide to cut/dye/dry shampoo my hair, lose weight/tone/exercise more/eat better, get rid of worn out/ill-fitting/ten years out of date clothing, and paint my nails regularly and exciting colors. (Fuchsia! Teal! Lime!) I even plan to try out new makeup. I make the same decisions every year and they rarely make it to action. For example, since 2000 in the category of hair:
Number of dye jobs: 1
Number of radical haircuts: 3
Number of styling products regularly used: 0
Days of the week hair is styled: 0.5 (half-hearted effort on Sundays)
And for this year in the category of makeup:
Number of new lip products purchased: 7 (5 in a trial set)
Number of new lip products worn at least once: 1
It's not the best of track records. This year I have painted my nails once and been thoroughly annoyed at how fast it chips (seriously, one day?!!) and used some foaming shiny hair product once. I'm looking at leftover Panda Express for lunch, haven't even put on makeup, and threw my newly-cut hair into a ponytail. Why do I get these silly notions every year? What is it about summer that makes me want to redo everything in sight?
I'm still dying my hair purple this year after the family photos though. And trying the teal nail polish. And eating better.
Maybe I should just give up. :)
