Perfect timing Kel! I've been so frustrated with my frizzy hair & was thinking of chopping it... but perhaps I will give this a try. :)
ReplyDeletePS- You are an indelible part of 9/11 for me since you were the one who came and told me to come and check out the TV because something was going on! I'm so glad that this is a more peaceful 9/11! :)
