Self Esteem Boost

For many of us constant-dieters, our self esteem is tied to the number on the scale or the one in our pants. So, I'm often looking little ways to boost my self esteem -- buying a cute top that accentuates all the right places or a great pair of heels.

Another great place to get an instant boost is at the hair dresser's! Last Saturday, I went over to my old hairstylist -- Candi -- to get my style on. As I usually do, flipped through the books and found three styles that appealed to me. My hair is thin and doesn't always do what I want it to, so I trust her instinct about what styles will take. I also gave her cart-blanche on my hair color, just suggesting that I like auburn and blonde.

So off came my glasses, and four hours and whole lotta trust later, I have a beautiful new cut and color. As usual, she did a great job! I've got three colors -- Blonde, Red and Chocolate Brown, a chin lenght cut and some sassy bangs.

And even better, all week, I've been getting compliment after compliment on my new look. It sure feels good!
