Today is my week-mark for the Ponytail Challenge I mentioned in an earlier post. I went seven whole days (in a row) with no ponytails!!! Okay, I did wear a ponytail while working out, but it came out immediately afterward. I did a lot of headbands, and a couple of braids, and a couple of times just down. Once I even got out my hot rollers, but couldn’t find the cord and didn’t want to take the time with the curling iron so I gave up on that idea when the kids came into the bathroom and started “harrassing” me to play with them. Maybe I’ll try curling my hair next week…that’s a really intimidating idea, believe it or not.
It felt really good to look somewhat presentable and intentional as I went about my business this week. Funny how these things snowball. I’d do my hair and automatically start doing my makeup. And then I’d make my bed. Then I’d have to clean up my nightstand, leading to picking up the stuff off the bedroom floor. My bathroom still isn’t clean and my house isn’t vacuumed, but it isbetter than usual. The If You Give a Mouse a Cookie effect. Happy day!
Thanks to Camille, the creator of the Challenge. You made my week a little better!
YEAH! Glad you made it through and had a successful week. It really DOES make a difference, doesn’t it??
Bethany-
I did a little “googling” of ponytail challenge and found your blog. I am so glad that you had fun with this challenge. I had the same type of experience- but never did make my bed! Funny how something I originally thought was just simple and silly turned out to have bigger results. Hopefully I can come up with some more fun challenges!
