Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Eugenie]

I have this ongoing war with myself. Long, shoulder length, fringe, no fringe. so I grow it very very very long, love it. then one day I just want it shorter , so I cut it and love it for a week or so and then.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Then I grow out my fringe so it is even with the rest , love it. then one day I see someone with a fringe and it is exquisite, so I cut mine and I just love it.And then a couple of months later..........................sniff, sniff, have to start again. It gets so totally fatiguing.

A little sensitivity please! There are some people amongst us who cut off 30 cm of their hair willingly!

:-/

I feel ya. My hair used to be down past my waist, then one fateful day, I went a little nuts. You know, where you're like, "I feel like doing something crazy! Screw the world; I can do what I want!"... Yeah, I pulled an illegal U-turn and high-tailed it to my hair dresser. "Cut it all off. I want a buzz cut..." My hair dresser finally agreed to do it after probing me with questions like, "Did you break up with your boyfriend? Are you on drugs? Did you loose your job?" (My hair dresser and I are pretty close, so she was justified in harping on me before going through with it.) Thankfully, she knew me well enough to suggest a really short pixie cut, and then I could go shorter after that if I wanted. The pixie cut looked great! And, she was right in thinking that I might have regretted going with a buzz cut.

It's been three years now and my hair is a happy shoulder length. Although it did go through a really weird mullet phase to get here.

Does anyone else have that special relationship with their hairdresser that's seems to be unique to those lovely people that mak you look hot? (hair dresser, wax lady, manicurist, etc...)


By the way, Hello again to everyone! I've been gone from the forums for quite a while. I missed it!

Hi girls am I welcome here? (^_^)

[Niamh]

of course! *hands tea*

[Sapphire]

*drops by for some coffee*

[Tournesol]

*yawn* it's 5.07am ladies!!!

Where's that coffee?

[a_little_wisp]

Well now, I have two blends - one is italian roast and the other is ...hee, dunkin donuts blend.

[Tournesol]

Aww thanks Wisp....but I made some tea: Tetley Orange Pekoe tea..

I almost always opt for tea instead...it's less complicated somehow

I'm also having a peanut butter and jam sandwich!

[a_little_wisp]

My roommate works at Starbucks (and is a traitor for Dunkin), so I have a tooon of coffee lying around.

In the mornings, however, smoothies are my beverage of choice - if I can get them. Tea any other time of the day, coffee when I need to stay awake.

[Tournesol]

tea keeps me more awake than coffee

[a_little_wisp]

It's weird how it's different for people like that. My friend drinks coke to stay awake. Espresso, however, does this to me --->

[Niamh]

I dont drink coffee.

[qimissung]

I adore coffee, but since I am perpetually short of sleep, I try to only drink it once a week, or unfortunately, I get somewhat cranky.

I also enjoy a cup of tea in the afternoon, either greenteea or cinnamon apple.

Well, I don't drink coffee or tea. My drink of choice in the morning tends to be hot chocolate. Sometimes I take a sip of soda in the morning (preferably Coke), but I prefer to have that cup of hot chocolate. Something about the warmth of it feels good on my throat. The taste is much more pleasing than coffee or tea (for me, at least ).

Just for the heck of it I bought a package of hot chocolate that said it had as much caffeine as coffee. So I had a cup one morning and about an hour later I was so jittery. My legs wouldn't stop. I finally realized what it was. Well, I had another cup of it a couple of months later and that was later on in the day. I went to bed that night and I couldn't sleep at all! It was one of the most miserable nights of my life. I was so nervous all night long.

Now, I have always thought the caffeine in soda was a myth when it comes to being able to perk somebody up. Honestly, it doesn't do a thing for me. I drink all kinds (mostly Coke and Mountain Dew) and I am never affected. I could drink it before bed and I would be fine. So I was never sure if that was true about coffee, too. Until I had this hot chocolate. If it really has the same amount of caffeine as coffee, then I can't imagine drinking something like that day after day. It would probably turn me into a wild animal!

No, I will just stick to my plain hot chocolate in the morning.
