  • Say yes, 2012 (hot yoga, pink hair, rock climbing)

    So, it’s almost February, and I’ve finally decided on my New Year’s resolution. And I want you to do it with me. More about that at the end, but be ready, my friends. I had a little bit of an idea about what I wanted it to be in my head, and I’ve been kind…

  • Updating style (new hair!)

    Going to see my favorite hairstylist Tommy soon, and so I was inspired this morning to look at some new hairstyles. Of course I want your opinion! This is my hair now: Here are the styles that caught my eye:   They’re not dramatically different – I’m not in the “whole new look” mode, more…

  • Smooth, bare and apparently laser hair removal *can* be affordable

    Colleen told me once that every time she hears anything about a new hair removal treatment, she thinks of me. Because, she says, inevitably I will try it and, if I can rope her into it, make her try it too. And she’s totally not wrong. When it comes to hair removal, I’ve pretty much tried…

  • Why I recommend my hairdresser to everyone I know

    Amy asked me recently if it took me hours to do my hair. To which I replied excitedly, “no, it only takes 10 minutes!” I told her I would explain how I did it, so here goes. First of all, find a hairdresser you trust. One that knows your personality, your hair needs, etc. etc. I’ve…

  • I did it! I rode my bike! And I ran 18 miles – all in one weekend!

    Recently I picked up a new bike from REI. And then I tried to ride it. And that was very, very difficult, as you can read about here. Seeing as how I have a little race to run in 33 days, I figured safe is better than sorry. So I had Jeff take off my…

  • ‘Missa, why is your hair red?’

    I was born with auburn hair. In fact, I was a redhead through all of my younger years – and I hated it. I hated being called “Carrot Top” or “Copper Top” or “Red” or whatever else came to mind. Then I started growing up and someone told me guys actually like redheads. Then my…

  • modern. original. design.

    Had the opportunity to update the ad for Melissa Oyler Designs for the September edition of  Natural Awakenings Magazine (which I also do layout/design for). Check it out – what do you think?

  • Why do I ask what you think if it doesn’t matter?

    Heather chopped off several inches of her hair recently and it looks phenomenal. Of course, a new haircut is always strangest for the person who owns the hair – I know, as I’ve had many different hairstyles over the years … Which makes me think about my haircut theory. A decision so major as to whether…

  • Life, going down the right tube

    This is by no means meant to be a synopsis of my year – in fact, I’m leaving out some of the biggest stuff on purpose. Just a few random tidbits about time and how we choose to pass it. Thoughts on 2008: – In February I decided to chop my hair off and go…

  • 64 minutes, funky hair clips and new socks: Two sisters go on a morning run

    Two weeks after hiking a mountain with my brother Kevin, I decided to run the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K with my sister Jenny. My siblings keep me in shape, that is for sure! Jenny has run a million races and I have run one 5K, so this is a new experience for me. What did I…
