Saturday’s Question – 9/15/12 – Is your head considered a good neighborhood?
No matter where you go or what you do, you live your entire life within the confines of your head. ~Terry Josephson
Now that’s an interesting and overwhelming truth. Our lives are actually lived entirely within boundaries of that noggin that sits on your shoulders. It takes in the world, processes it, feels it, remembers or forgets it, loves it, hates it, finds happiness or sadness, light or darkness, serenity or turmoil.
So, is your head considered a good or bad neighborhood? What are some of the ways that you improve the beauty of the area? Do you believe it can be improved? Please share your thoughts and Happy Saturday!
Better Than Playing With Barbies!
I fall into Internet black holes all the time. A seemingly innocent search like “is Eddie Murphy really dead?” sends me on a fool’s errand and its hours before I claw my way back out. The sun is setting and the dirty laundry is still in a heap, kids are hungry, and piles of papers wait impatiently to be graded. I leave these encounters wondering if I’ll ever make something useful of myself.
But every once in a while I run across something super interesting, making all the time spent totally worth it.
To wit- I was researching hairstyle trends for the fall (bangs are hot, but more about that later) and I ran into a website called dailymakeover.com. Let me tell you, it’s a funny and entertaining hole I would gladly dive into again and again.
On this site you can either take or upload a picture of yourself and try on a million different hairstyles of the beautiful and famous. Ever curious what you’d look like with a sassy Michelle William’s pixie? Wonder no more (I look like Dr. Spock, by the way).
You can change hair color and even put makeup on your virtual self. Platinum blonde bob has you looking a little washed out? Just apply some pink lipstick and virtual you looks sun-kissed and beautiful!
It’s a great way to test drive changes before you have to live with your poor choices for the next 6 months. Case in point- me thinking I would look hot with chunky Reese Witherspoon bangs:
Elvira scary.
Or how about I chop it all off? Surely I’ll look sophisticated and polished:
Or maybe not. Carol Channing wasn’t really what I was going for.
This was the dark horse of the evening. Katy Perry’s sleek, blue bob doesn’t look half bad:
So if you have a few hours to kill, give it a try. You will laugh until your belly hurts and maybe find a few surprises. We would love to see photos if you dare to share!
