Update: Goldwell Trend Zoom Challenge

Just a quick update...

Unfortunately, we did not win a chance to move onto the next level of the Goldwell Trend Zoom Challenge 2009. My hairdresser received a certification for excellent hair though!

Oh well. I might be her hair model for next year's challenge. At least I got a rockin' hair do for free and have been able to have a lot of fun with it since May. I'm lucky to have a boss that doesn't mind purple hair too.

Catch Up: The Past 3 Days

Saturday, May 23rd - Monday, May 25th

With good intentions I half way filled out my "daily post" for Saturday. The other two days... skipped it. Sometimes it's hard to make time for personal blogging!

Marcel made me breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. He's getting pretty handy in the kitchen (I think my cooking skills are starting to rub off)! On the menu: two eggs over easy, two slices of Arnold's whole grain nutty oat toast with EVOO and garlic powder, fresh spinach, slice of Boar's Head white American cheese. Delicious!

I was pretty tired from staying out late for Marcel's show, but I had fun hanging out with everyone. There was a pretty good turn out and his band rocked it!

Kristy made an appointment for me to get my hair styled and makeup done on Saturday... with photos! Here are my favorites...

(test shot)

Kristy took some more photos that I'll get soon. I have to say that photoshoots are super fun! I've always been the girl that loves to dress up, play with makeup and take crazy pictures. I really should have taken Teresa Tapp up on her offer to model in Miami when I was 18. Modeling would have been so much fun, especially knowing how to keep fit and limber with T-Tapp!

Sunday was pretty much a day of rest. Monday I went into the office for about half a day to catch up on some things before the media-packed week. Then cleaned the apartment when I got home (killed the vacuum cleaner -- again!), got groceries for the week, ate natural hot dogs for dinner (with sauerkraut, spicy mustard and fresh spinach) with Miller High Life beer in honor of Memorial Day and watched Netflix movies.

Off to sleep...

JOURNAL
Using a towel on Primary Back Stretch really makes a difference for me. Highly recommended for additional rehab, better alignment and more muscle activation.

I have never heard of a knish before. Call me weird. Brew Garden has the most amazing looking danishes and this morning they had a variety of fresh knishes. It was delicious! Pastry like outside filled with mashed sweet potatoes... OMG. What a treat.

So excited about getting my crazy hair done tonight. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I'm going to be a hair model!

SO super excited about this!!! My friend Kristy is a hair stylist and asked me if I would be her hair model for the Goldwell Hair Competition 2009.

She's thinking that she wants to do the Virtualist color line on me. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I will probably have seriously unique hair for a few weeks and then she'll dye it back. This really gives me a chance to have some fun, dress up, get made up and model headshots. SO fun!

And the finalists go to Las Vegas to redo the hair style and color in front of judges. Oh yeah! I have a few other friends that are entering the contest as stylists (and models). If we do make it to Vegas it will be a fabulously fun time. The best part is I get a free 'do!
