About being happy

I was reading yesterday a post about how to raise a happy child. It made me think about a lot of stuff.
I think one characteristic that jumps to people when they meet my son, is how happy he is. You can really tell he is a happy child, and needless to say, that makes me extremely happy and proud.

Me and my happy child!

I've always considered myself a happy person, no matter what people may think, I really do think I'm a very happy person! I may act as a madwoman sometimes and I do get angry when there's a reason to it (I'm normal, you know), but generally speaking, I'm happy most of the times.

That being said, even during pregnancy, I tried my best to stay cool and relaxed, so my unborn child would "enjoy the ride" and prepare himself for the outside world. I played him music everyday, I described everything to him and I sang. A lot! In the shower, in the car, at the office... I sang everyday. Personally, that makes me happy!

Now that "he's out", I try every moment to make him happy, and I try very hard to teach him how to appreciate the word that surround us and make the best out of every situation. I think that's the hardest part in life, making  the best of bad moments, and trying to see always the bright side of things.

Taking about happiness, I must say with a smile the resembles the Cheshire the cat (Alice in Wonderland), that I've lost 13 pounds in a month. I feel absolutely better, both physically and mentally!
I can't say that I'm thin, but I'm definitely not a bag of fat anymore! I went to the supermarket the other day with my son, and I swear to god that I felt like a supermodel walking down those aisles!! (lol)

OK. Maybe I'm exaggerating. But I do feel better. Not only do my clothes fit, but some of them are starting to look baggy, which is refreshing, after wearing every top in my closet like a tattoo on my skin! I can finally where a loose top, loose! I was wearing loose tops for a while that looked very tight on me!

Oh! And I did get a Mohawk after all. Well, a faux Mohawk. The second I told my stylist my choices, he said there was no question about it. I looooove changing my hair, I think it might be some kind of addiction!

my faux Mohawk

So now you know, if you see a 30 year old normal woman with a faux Mohawk and a happy child,  acting like she's a 20 year old supermodel,  well, that's me!!

hair hair hair hair... what to do???

I'm having a major hair crisis!!
After almost two years of the same hairdo and color (with little variations in lenght and hue) a week ago I decided I'm done with it.
I've been looking at people's hair on the internet everyday, searching for something that atracts me... This time I'm lost. After considering a bunch of options, I narrowed them down to 3:

1-a mohawk

2-hair extensions and bangs

3-shorter cut and bangs and permanent straightening

While looking for pics I found this really cool site from Clairol where you can upload your ppic and try different hairdos and color! http://www.clairol.com/try-it-on-studio/tios.jsp

I would like to go with the hair extensions and the bangs just because I'm tired of having short hair and would like a real change.

 But the one that tempsts me the most is the rihanna-style-mohawk. I really like that hair!! And maybe I could go with some color too ♥ 

I looooove coloring my hair. After doing real damage to it when in highschool, I got a razor blade and cut off all of my hair. It was really cool, but I was thin. If I do it again I'll look very very very very weird! I did this because I promised "no more hair coloring" so I wouldn't go bald at 40.

Off course, I didn't keep my promise and when my hair was an inch long, I colored it orange! Then blond and red followed, and two years later I decided I was gonna do it again. BUT this time, I WAS gonna keep my promise of no hair coloring. 

Again, it didn't happen at all!

Again, when my hair was an inch long, I colored it bright red. 

Since then it's been a rainbow nonstop in my hair. And haircuts. I get tired of looking at myself in the mirror too easy! 

And now, it's been too long. 2 years? 3 years? OMG... I can't even remember! I did have the blond phase and the red phase in these 2 or 3 years, but IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME HAIRCUUUUT.

Arghh... Saturday I'm going to chop it, make it longer, color it or do whatever they reccomend me. (not really, LOL! I hate doing what people tell me to do)

So this is me. Starting at age 14 or 13 in the first pic, all the way to age 30 in the last pic. Searching for my pics I realized I'm missing about 4 years of memories. (if you'd known me before, you'd think I didn't have memories because of too much partying, not because I can't find the pics!!)

So please notice that between the short red hair w/sunglasses and the blonde hair with sunglasses, there are 4 years of change in there!

 

The purple hair is the same, it's just that I reaaaaaally like it, so I put 2 pics! 

And off course the troll hair, is for a costume party (where I went as a troll). I don't go out dressed like that anymore! LOL

 I love blonde hair, pink hair, purple hair and black hair. I would go with the mohawk and blonde hair on top. 

I won't be able to sleep thinking about my hair cut. After pregnancy, deliver and looking for my son, I need a complete makeover. I'm tired with my weight and hair. 

Let's see what happens on saturday!!  (#fingerscrossed)

wish me luck.
