I asked the lady who cuts my hair what I could do to help
keep my hair shiny and soft as I get older and it slowly turns to gray and dries out. She said the
best thing to do is to maintain a healthy diet, which of course makes sense but
isn’t always easy to do. When work and family keep me running all day and the dinner
hour arrives, I am sometime so tired I want to sit down and go hungry. The thoughts of preparing something healthy –
which takes time na/or money – are both unappealing. Usually on my late afternoon
travels I can
After a little chair time I can rally to make something from
the cupboard – a can of broth, a little onion, celery, and some canned beans
and/or frozen veggies will make do. Frozen spinach is great because it has
lots of healthy stuff and it is pre-washed and chopped.
It is probably less expensive to maintain a healthy diet than
to spend a lot on hair care – not to mention health care from not taking care
of oneself. When I look at hairdos in
the books at the hair salon, it is often the faces of the women that are more
appealing than the hairdos. I know I
will never look like those women even if I have the same haircut. But if I can
look the best I can that would please me.
Now that some cooler temperatures are approaching and people
are buying more Maine Warmers, I’ll be making more suppers from the pantry and
easing my tired feet with a pair of foot warmers beforehand.
