Before and After

I just love those dumb infomercials that show before and after pictures. It is as if that given persons life was awful before whatever came along saved them. So I couldn't help but join the ranks and make my own "before" and "after" picture. I will say, though, that I often felt like my life was awfully difficult before this haircut. I was in the pool so much and working out and sweating so much that I had a rats nest behind my head most of the week. The bottom four inches were so damaged that even my straight iron couldn't tame them fully. Now all my hair is healthy, my natural color, and it takes only minutes to dry and style. It's easier to put up for exercise (my heavy hair before always fell out) and I'm feeling a bit sassy.

So I guess I have learned that eventhough people in before and after pictures are most assuredely coached for dramatic effect, their pictures just might accurately reflect how they felt on the inside.
