And it’s not shopping like I previously believed. Although there is shopping involved.

Hair dying. Nothing is more uplifting. First, you get to go to the store and stare at the hundreds of brands and colors. Then you get to decide which exact shade(s) is perfect for you. You buy it, take it home, follow all the directions, and you come out a different person.

So not only do you get to shop for the perfect item, you also get to completely change your look. What could possibly be better?

My color choices this time were: Starry Night and Red Rays.

I don’t know how it looks yet. I’m doing touchups on Starry Night right now, so I haven’t put the Red Rays in yet. But in an hour or so, I will know. And the thought just really cheers me up.
