Care For Your Hair!

My J.O.B is part of who I am. I absolutely love the satisfaction of making someone feel wonderful, it's an addiction. So, since it is such a huge part of my life, why not blog about it right?! I'll start by saying that I work at Thyme Day Spa and Salon. We are an Aveda salon (the only one in town) and we LOVE our products. I have a serious problem with sending you home with something I don't love and use myself. Needless to say, my drawers and cabinets in my bathroom at home are completely full of our products! Personally, I love to switch up my daily routine all the time. This way my hair doesn't get used to one product. Kinda like they say to switch between Tylenol and Advil ;) Today I want you to know why we love our products. If you like the post let me know and I'll send more hair tips and advice your way!

5 Reasons We LOVE Aveda:
1. Hair color and products are 93-99% natural
2. We have a "GREEN policy"
3. We do not test on animals
4. We have a styling line for every type of hair
5. We package our items eco friendly

5 Reasons We LOVE Alterna Caviar:
1. Our anti-aging line!
2. Infused with Caviar extracts, Omega 3s, Vitamin C, and Cytokines
3. All products are color safe
4. Free of parabens, gluten, phthlates, mineral oil, paraffin, DEA, TEA, petroleum & PABA, and sodium chloride
5. We have a blonde, brunette, and red line to help our color beat this Brenham water in our color fading battle!

100 Days!

Today we have been married for 100 wonderful days! It has already gone by so fast I can't believe it. I am spending this neat occasion without my husband :( He is in Arkansas enjoying some beautiful snow while duck hunting. While he is gone, I have found it the perfect time to FINALLY make the office and office and not an empty space. I have been trying to decorate room by room and it isn't an easy task. I have major "hammer anxiety". I get nervous about putting holes in these new walls so it takes me a while to picture something, then start liking it, then finally making a move with the hammer and nail. Needless to say, a lot of our walls are still bare ;) Maybe I'll get some pictures up next time!
We hope you are all staying warm in this super cold weather! And we ask you to help us pray that the next 100 days are just as wonderful as the last!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year friends and family! We had a wonderful weekend celebrating the many exciting blessings in 2010! We were in Junction at the deer lease and it was just so great to turn off phones, and not set alarms, and hardly get dressed everyday!
While we were there I did a lot of thanking and a lot of thinking. Of course thankful for our year! But thinking about all the changes that the year brought. Marriage completely changes your life. And it may not all be the marriage, it could be the "real world" with "real jobs", and it could be the new home in a new (but old) town. Who knows, but so many things have changed for us! Laundry... who knew two people and two dogs could have so much laundry! Groceries... WOW! That's all I can say about that. Cleaning... whew, sometimes I just want to give up. That was the benefit of having a small apartment! Mostly, Relationships... the relationships we have with our friends have changed so much. The weekends we used to use to visit friends are now full with 7 Christmases, weddings of friends, and simply spending time with each other. The nights I used to spend on the phone for girl time are now full with cooking dinner, doing laundry, and talking about our day together. And the groups we used to go out with have changed to dinner dates and conversation is now about future children and what our husbands contribute to at home haha!
We LOVE this change, we do. But boy is it a challenge to adjust to together.
So to answer one of my best friends questions.. "when did you get old?" Well, we didn't get old, we got married. You will see when it's your turn ;)
Anyway, to start the new year, I would like to thank my wonderful husband for being to perfect person to endure these changes with! And thank you, in advance for this amazing year to come!!
