Want to Conquer Your Life?
Find a good hairstylist. Okay- I’m kiddding, slightly! But since it took me my entire life to figure out a style that is flattering, easy, and works for me…..I’m pretty serious! Combine that with a stylist who works magic and creates a beautiful color, and that’s a recipe for conquering the world, or at least mom life! I have fine hair, but lots of it.

Not the smartest move, but with age comes wisdom, right? While I may have attained a good tan each year, all that sun damage is now coming back to haunt me!
