Friday Five

1. Which website do you go to more often than any other?
Outside of work sites, YouTube. Entertainment and background noise

2. Which website have you stopped going to, that you used to go to a lot?
Yahoo used to be a go-to ages ago but I've not gone there in years.

3. What is the weirdest or most unusual website you have bookmarked?
I don't have much weird bookmarked. I'll go with my nest camera feed - because my cats are weird

4. If you shop online, which online store do you buy from most often?
Either FreshDirect for groceries (going to try to reduce that and get local more and clear the pantry) and Chewy (best site for pet food)

5. Which online store do you browse but almost never buy from?
Amazon. I try to avoid the ol' evil empire if possible but some places sell exclusively there which is a bit of a bummer

Heh, I got shorn

The last time I went to a stylist was with Emily's back in March. I had high hopes since she gave Emily a cool asymmetrical look. This is what she gave me back then and I wasn't really happy with it. It wasn't what I asked for which was to have the sides and back clippered short and some volume on top. I mean it was ok but I felt like I got an "old lady" cut


I asked some folks on the local community for recommendations because the issue is that some stylists don't seem to be comfortable with using clippers and some barbers aren't comfortable with doing women. I got several recommendations for a salon just right down the street and I looked at her Instagram and saw some examples I liked.

We chatted and I said I wanted "edgy but not Karen" and "Something that might annoy my boss but not enough that she can object." That amused her and she said, "Yeah, let's go for it." I am LOVING my buzzzzzzz on the side and back and she had fun today with mousse and gave me a fauxhawk but if I wash it, the one side will flop over messily like I'll probably wear it most days.


I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. Though I don't really wear makeup, I'm feeling like I might want to get some bright red lipstick for fun. Think cherry red or another hue?
