Namast-ouch!

Hi there! I'm so anxious to tell everyone what I've been doing these last two days. They've been such monumental ones for me. Sooooo, drumroll please:

1. I did yoga.
2. I highlighted my hair.

Ok. I admit, they might not seem that big of a deal, but they really are huge steps outside my comfort zone.

1: I NEVER exercise. Ever. I'm scared of moving too much, too often. I assume this fear developed freshman year in high school when I thought I broke my hip running 100 yards on the track. (Don't ask.) But now, I've decided to at least attempt to move around more often, and this, I think, is a good start to living a healthier lifestyle. Despite my sore arms and abs (ouch), just 1 day of yoga has made me way more conscious of my posture and breathing and being calm and whatnot. I think I may even go back tomorrow. Gold star for me.

2: I haven't colored my hair since college (2004/05) mostly because it was a semi traumatic experience. Yeah it was cute, but my hair was left sooooo damaged from it (and that horrid creamy crack relaxer). See?

Regardless, after very little contemplation, I went ahead, took a leap of faith and got it colored again. This time it's way more subtle and my hair is in better shape so it might actually be able to handle it. I took a chance, and I think it came out fab. Here's a little peak.

Ok. That's it for today. My next adventure is taking me to a quaint little city called Austin so stay tuned.

Namaste (and Downward Facing Dog because it's funny and dirty and innocent all at the same time),
