Back a few months ago, when I had just begun this journey to eating my vegetables, I was having trouble thinking outside the proverbial box, and getting pretty tired of carrots and celery. I mentioned this to my pal Sidney, and she recommended a recipe book to me called "Everyday Greens". It was a collection of recipes from a celebrated vegetarian restaurant, and she thought it would give me some good ideas. So I checked it out of the library, and boy did it. It was so inspiring that I even renewed it a couple of times. Since then I've added spinach, different types of lettuce and cabbage, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, and yes, even carrots and celery to my cooking repertoire.
For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time
