I absolutely love my new Auburn hair color and recieved compliments

before even leaving the salon. 

I let my stylist pick the color and am glad I did!  

I’ve been going to the same stylist for the past 9 or more years, 

so of course I trust him, in fact he’s the only person whose ever colored my hair. 

I actually love my new hair even more after seeing it photographed with my

neutral outfit of the day.  

I am so happy I added these Loft tan jeans to my wardrobe this season. 

In fact all three of these pieces were bought for this season, the tunic top is by Kate & Mallory, a line on Evine Live that I love, but of course I bought on clearance ,so no longer available.   

The Cardigan is a Susan Graver via Qvc, found here in many colors.  

I can remember not so long ago when I steered clear of neutral looks, 

but when done like this,  with hi-l0w tones of the same color family and with pattern in the top and handbag,

as well as textture in the scarf , boots and purse, my heart sings.  

It was a colder but sunny and windy day,

the best kind of winter day in my book. 

Today in Self-Care

Well, of course my date with my hairstylist.  I should also add my walk to the store to stock up on more yogurts to keep me in on track.   I should note here too , that yesterday when at the bowling alley with my boys, we ate dinner.  I never eat at the bowling alley as the food doesn’t meet my health requirements.  I went for french fries and chicken tenders.  I ate every bite and felt no guilt.  I was especially happy when the scale didn’t budge in either direction after that meal.  I did eat well for the remainder of the day, so I know that helped.  I’ve been perfect for 6 days, so I guess I was feeling the need. I call this self care because if I didn’t allow the splurge, I would probably resort to small ones every day that would really sabotage my efforts.
