You Don't Miss Whatcha Got Till It's Gone !!!!

I grew up in Detroit!!! 7 Mile ...where liquor stores, churches and hair salons were plentiful and shoot out's were not a surprise. Oddly enough I never really felt I was in danger. Despite getting robbed at the bus stop, despite a shoot out on my front lawn...( I wasn't involved) .Now don't get me wrong I don't miss any of that !!!! What I do miss......MY STYLIST.

I never thought about what it would be like to grow up in a world where I didn't have options. HAIR OPTIONS that is. Detroit is full of talented individuals ready to get their hands on your tresses....Detroit doesn't just do hair they do works of art!!!

Its a distant memory, but I remember walking out the salon swinging my hair  feeling beautiful and looking for a place to go. I remember being stopped in stores because they needed to know WHO DID MY HAIR....anything you needed to know you could find out at the salon! She was your stylist, your therapist and even sometimes a preacher . Come on the right day you could get the latest cd's , a rib dinner and a movie too.

Coming to Colorado has been amazing, but it has also been a challenge. I have met some wonderful ladies. I've had some wonderful opportunities . It's not all bad , but I tell you I miss being able to pick a reasonable spot to get my hair done. Here it's a day trip and don't fall out with a stylist if you find one because they are not easy to find!!! White stylist, black stylist , any other stylist it doesn't matter it seems like they just don't know how to handle MY hair...maybe Detroit spoiled me.

So I guess Im on a quest of learning. With a kid, a husband and a job finding ME time just isn't as easy as it used to be. So versus getting depressed ( cause that will solve nothing) I will make this yet another journey. So...my hair is shedding like a poor unkept dog...guess 1st step find some good product! Next step find some time.... pampering at home  may not be like the salon, but I might just be on to something if I can find a way to keep my hair healthy , beautiful and dyed... salt and pepper aint sexy at 35....I will find a new sense of satisifaction in knowing I never have to LOOK for another stylist again.

If all else fails...I guess I can invest in some sexy wigs! Either way Im still fabulous...."Gone with the wind fabulous that is..." Twirling off catch you guys on the next blog!

Gotta love my crazy fabulous life !!!!
