Getting dolled up at the Doll House Salon

A a great part of being a teacher is getting to be a part of the lives of the amazing students that come through your class room. A former student of mine is now a professional hairdresser and colorist. Prior to heading out on the floor at the salon she now works at she needed to show off her amazing skills to her new boss. She needed models so I volunteered. I don’t usually color my hair and I only cut it every year and a half or so to be able to donate to Locks Of Love – as you may remember from a previous post -but she needed the model, my hair was looking unusually dark having cut all the sun and pool bleached blonde off, and she did it for free. What a sweet thing she did for her old teacher. You can’t beat free. Not only did she give me a wonderful boost of summer sun in the form of highlights but I got the full pampering with a paraffin hand treatment and hand massage. If you live in the Grand Rapids area and would like 50% off a cut or color- give her a shout. The contact info is below. Gosh I love my job.

Contact Kat at http://www.dollhousehairsalon.com/ and the phone number is 616-554-4929.  If people are new and want to get 50% off, contact Kat to find out how :)

Clean up clean up everybody clean up

This post is slightly out of order. This is the clean up from our new door. We had lots of mud, plaster dust, saw dust, and cellulose insulation tracked all over our kitchen and living and dining rooms. I got out the mop, and a bucket with Murphy’s Oil Soap and I started mopping. I set the mop down to do some straitening and my super helper took right over. I have to say he did a pretty darn good job. Maybe I will just sit back and eat bon-bons. Think he does windows?

Even a super helper needs a break for a powerful thirst.
