Have you ever thought after putting something on that it didn't look right, but then you asked people and they kept telling you how fabulous you were, but you knew deep down that you looked gross?  Well, that's what happened to me, except for like an entire year.  Yesterday, my husband found some photos of our "first" and what I call our "secret" engagement shoot.  I call it secret because those photos have never been shown to anybody.  It was when I saw those photos that I realized I looked completely disgusting with long hair and NOBODY BOTHERED TO TELL ME! I looked like some sort of weird Asian John Lennon.  You would think that someone would go out of their way to at least tell me that.  I was really disappointed that nobody did. Could you imagine if I accidentally wore a  pair of circle framed sunglasses?  I mean for almost twelve months I walked around with my shoulders back thinking that I looked like a freakin badass, hair down to my shoulders (!), and that I would be doing side braids and pony tails in no time.  Well, let's just say I found out right on time before I started to "experiment" with some new long-hair hairstyles.

After the discovery, I started to doubt all my friends like it was a conspiracy theory and I was thinking back to all those times that they said I looked cute.  Total lies!! I mean I get it, you don't want to hurt a friend's feelings, but come on an entire year is taking this joke a little far.  And then, my deluded ass for not seeing how gross it looked.  It takes a village I guess.  Needless to say, after getting those proofs, I marched myself to the nearest salon and chopped all that hair off and adopted a new mantra: never trust a girl who suggests I grow my hair out.  I got your number, bitch.

There's something strange about coming back after celebrating Christmas and New Year's, and by strange I mean incredibly depressing and sad.  Everyone is all partied out, you have to throw away your Christmas tree, put all your Christmas ornaments away, recover from your hangovers and then go back to work...on a Thursday! You're looking back and thinking about the year that went by and all the things that you didn't accomplish and now you're going to start another year off with a juice cleanse that will mean nothing, because "green juice" is actually not a magic potion that will take away your dependency on french fries. Not to mention those people that do those "I'm so grateful for..." posts that lists a thousand accomplishments, but that you (let's be real) can't stand reading, but you do anyways just so you can judge them for being narcissistic assholes.  Breaking news: nobody cares.  All your holiday joy is basically rotting out on the curb and there's not another huge holiday in sight.  

All kidding aside, it's not all bad.  Here's looking at you President's Day.

I don't know about you, but between all the holiday turkey, prime rib, apple pie, cake, peanut brittle, pork tenderloin, brisket and ham, I just want to get into some stretchy pants and comfy clothes.  Enter my go-to post Christmas and pre-New Year's comfy casual reprieve: stretchy jeggings and a loose top.  It's also crucial during this waiting period to stretch out that stomach for all the New Year's eve fare.  Until the ball drops, happy lounging!
