Okay here it is, I have been going gray since my twenties. Fortunately, the gray came slow enough for me to cover it with some “me only better” solutions every 6 weeks or so. Enter age 40 and now the gray is very prominent within 3 weeks and my loving husband is always happy to alert me about it. At well over $100 a pop, going to the salon every 3 weeks was out of the question.
So I decide to color my own roots at home. I did it for years before I could afford the fancy salon and it would mean no embrassing roots. But it also meant no highlights, boo. Then I start reading Charla Krupp’s new book, How Not to Look Old. A fun book filled with great tips from a veteran magazine beauty editor. Trust me she’s tried everything.
She says home color kits have come a long way and are a great way to go for root color, then suggests going to the salon for highlight 4 times a year. BRILLIANT! Why didn’t I think of that? So today I went to the salon with my fresh roots a la Miss Clairol and I am now “me but so much better!” And the best part is it was only $50 and it took less time!!! I am so in and probably more than 4 times a year!

I loved the Biggest Loser Couples finale last night. I watched it intently from beginning to end and am so happy to see Ali win it, just like she imagined it. But that said, I was floored by Roger and Kelly’s results…big WOW!!! And did you see Dan’s mom? Great work!
As for my own Biggest Loser, Redondo Beach style, I am doing okay. I have lost most the weight on the way to my goal, but have hit a little wall this week and have slacked off on my workouts. The diet is just fine, thank God.
So as they say, I am putting my slackiness behind me and tonight I ride (my elyptical that is.) Were you inspired by the show? I believe I can do anything now, including completing all my projects today with almost no sleep. (Had to be in L.A. by 6:15 am for KTLA, but it went great!)
