Forgive me ahead of time if I don’t jump in to plug this
blog post or comment on it. If I have my
dates right, I’ll be on my boat in a place where I cannot receive or send
e-mail. My apologies ahead of time. And to prove I’m telling the truth about my
location, you can track me on our GPS breadcrumbs at this site http://tinyurl.com/3mhj7gz

For your reading pleasure, I have a confession to make and a
tidbit to offer, silly as it may seem.
You know those metal-based or ceramic brushes used by our
hairdressers to fluff up our hair as they blow dry our tresses? I’d never used one until four years ago. The process appeared to be impossible to
maneuver by oneself, so I never even tried it.
Three things happened to change my mind. First, I heard about a high-priced salon
owner in L.A., who charged $250 for a half-hour instruction on how to blow-dry
your own hair using the brushes. (Are you kidding me?) Second,
I wanted to let my hair grow long and try for a poofy look. Third, the hairdresser I’ve used for twelve
years, looked at me like I was an imbecile when I said I surely couldn’t get
the hang of it.
So I went to a salon supply store and learned how to pick
the right brush. The rest was practice,
practice, practice. I also experimented
with the goops and mousses I could apply to my hair to retain the poof.
I’ve come to think of my new skill as good exercise for my
arms. I mean, you really have to stretch
and strain to keep that brush AND the hair dryer up in the air for all that
time. What's more, there is a kind of art to it to take pride in...and I didn't have to spend $250 to figure out how to do it!
Here on the boat, I tend to do the quickie blow-dry when the
generator is on. Forget the poof. Most important tip for the summer: Relax and
enjoy it! Rolynn
