The Best Hair Treatment

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

pick up a salad and some shrimp or pre-cooked chicken to add to it.

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.
