Rich girl hair





Hello!! Did you miss me?? Sorry for my two-week hiatus, but Empire and Scandal aren't going to watch themselves. And, writing about my long distance runs are generally not entertaining for most (#sorrynotsorry). But, I'm baaaaaaacccckkk and going through my quarterly feeling of hair angst. Meaning, I want to chop all of my hair off and start anew. Be one of the cool girls that's able to pull off an edgy cut and still look completely feminine. And, let me tell you, finding hair inspo is HARD out there for a pimp.

I am scouring the archives (like, early 2000s people) for short hairstyles, so that I don't say to my Dominican hairdresser with a love of sniping (which, I'm sure is true of most hair stylists, but my trims tend to leave me a couple of inches shorter than I originally planned), that I want something, "Edgy, but also can be cleaned up for work. You know, very Clare Underwood." Because, I'm almost confident that: a) the word 'edgy' doesn't translate across language barriers, b) that 'edgy' is subjective; I've been sporting a bob for the last 5 years, so she could think, ok. this girl is looking for layers (true), c) that she doesn't watch House of Cards?? (?!?!?!?!). I think I would be completely disturbed by c, and would be the least surprised by b. I mean, she's right, edgy to me is layers. But, the fact of the matter is, I've been thinking about cutting my hair for too long now and I'm turning 30. So, now's as good a time as any, right?! Right?!


However, there's the other part of me, that's started using Dessange Paris' Oleo Miracle shampoo and conditioner (and replenishing oil) that wants to hold out and wait for my rich girl hair to kick in. Hair, hair, long beautiful hair!!! So, I am, per usual, divided in what I want to do. In the meantime, here are some of the haircuts I'm considering.

Aka those shows that you'll only admit to watching with people that you feel somewhat close to, but never when you're first meeting someone. Not to be confused with the shows that EVERYONE"S watching, even if they're really bad. There's something about the 'hate watch' that feels so deliciously naughty, but is actually pretty mundane. So, below, behold, is my list. Shows: 1. Pretty Little Liars 2. Empire 3. Younger 4. The Vampire Diaries 5. Grey's Anatomy Now, I know that last show is somewhat controversial because a lot of you are probably saying, "Erika! That's a really popular show! How in the heck is that a 'hate watch'?" While others are probably saying, "Wait, Grey's is still on the air? I thought Shonda killed everyone off!" And see, my dear, that's exactly why it is a 'hate watch'.

Helloo all,    As some of you already know, and maybe some others have gathered if you follow me on Instagram (feel free to here ), I spent the week leading up to July 4th in Iceland! Not the most patriotic thing I've ever done, but it was certainly, capital D, different. I traversed a small bit of the island that is Iceland with four, mostly random people (a post for another time), and here are some of my takeaways. First of all, Iceland is ridiculously beautiful. I have said the following phrase to multiple friends of mine since getting back, but it has never rang so true in my life: I'm not an outdoorsy person, but Iceland brought it out in me and I see myself doing more active vacations in the future. I mean, just look at this:  Beautiful, right? What you can't see from this photo is the path leading up to the top of the mountain so that you can actually stand ABOVE the waterfall. Crazy. This was actually the SECOND waterfall we saw that day. The first waterfall

Let’s just talk about the elephant in the room…

By far my most favorite cartoon from The New Yorker I know, I know! I realize that I’m the prodigal daughter that only comes home during Thanksgiving. And even then, she’s only there for a quick plate of food and to do a couple of loads of laundry. Oy vey! This year has FLOWN by and as you might remember there was a period there where I wasn’t super into writing. Remember ? Then, I’d start a post only to be distracted or unable to fully flesh out the idea. But! Here I am and ready to go full steam ahead. I feel like I can’t fully talk about 2017 (what?) without reflecting a bit on 2016. To catch you up, here’s what I’ve been up to this year: -Graduated from grad school - Started a new job - Went to countless concerts (actually, I can count, but doing so might be overwhelming) - Visited Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen                 - Made some new friends and saw some old ones - Said goodbye to a dear friend that moved back to Thailand - Got clo
