I saw a posting about it on someone else’s blog and was a little skeptical at first. The blog offers humor and small self-improvement oriented challenges to those women who may be in the category of having let themselves go. The first challenge is to wear no ponytails for a week because it represents “letting yourself go.” I was wondering silently to myself about whether a ponytail really represents anything of the kind, when Colin happened by and I mentioned that I was looking at a blog called “The Ponytail Challenge.” He innocently replied something roughly like “Neat. Why’s it called that? Because wearing a ponytail means you’re a slacker?” Hmmm…now I know.

Since I wear my hair in a ponytail most days of any given month, I accepted the challenge and haven’t had a ponytail (except when working out!) for two days. I don’t think I’d actually “let myself go”–I’ve just never been un-gone. I have actually felt a little prettier with blow-dried hair than with dried-in-my-ponytail hair, so it’s a good thing in any case.

Did I mention that being part of the weekly+ challenges qualifies me for a drawing for “fabulous prizes?” This time it’s a gift card to Bath & Body Works so I probably wouldn’t be able to use it on myself if I were to win, but it does sound fabulous does it not?
