the big haircut is coming....

Miracles

Can miracles happen? In 7 days will that woman be me? will detached arms be thrusting flowers at me? will i be looking at the camera instead and give a beatific smile unconcerned about the body less hands and look like im used to them thrusting flowers at me everyday? will i be clasping my hands contentedly and look all lady like? all in 7 days? will i ever be so flattering against a red back ground?

Well lets find out. Lets use the ponds age miracle (yes the ponds age miracle- we cant make it sound ordinary by calling it a ponds age cream...no its not a cream ...its a miracle) for 7 days and see if i can achieve that contentment and supreme happiness that every woman can only feel when she is against a red background with red roses thrust at her.

Day 0

Skin has not yet been touched with the miracle.
skin fells all right if a little dry.
no pimples blemishes pockmarks or other things of that sort
Giant dark circles under the eye
skin looks a little shallow and lifeless.

from tomorrow we will see

what i need is a chomameter - if u dont understand go read the fine print.

Edited to add:
Day 1
well sqeezed a tiny portion of ponds age miracle and rubbed n face. Evertything is still the same as day 0 but skin does seem somewhat softer.
am unable to say is this is work of the miracle or just result touching face just after its washed or........maybe my finger tips got smoother and not my face! how would i know. now attempting to rub finger tips on other surfaces to check theory...but am unable to draw any kind of conclusion and give up.

Edited to add:
Day 2:
I forgot about the miracle today. :( Maybe i can make up tommorow with extra portions


Edited to add:
Day 3:
Was a little more genrous with the miracle. I swear my skin is getting softer and in just two days ..but im still skeptical. How much to attribute to miracle and how much to regular water and soap application which dint exist earlier. I think this test must be completely redone....in a more scientific manner....face to be split into two haves one for miracle one not. and i think that chromameter will be very useful ...if u still dont know what it is.....tch tch


Edited to add:
Days 4 and 5
Miracle aplication on schedule. But read fine print on bottle. it says miracle should be applied twice a day. so now am appplying the miracle morning and night and once more thru the day if i can or good measure.
skin is incredibly softer and all moisturized....it doesnt look any prettier mind u...just feels softer....have lil put break of pimples near my nose. dark eye patches continue to remain. skin still looks a little sallow.

Edited to add:
Day 6
Soft soft soft skin...but sill does not look any prettier... challenge has almost come to an end now.
what is it with 7?? ponds 7 day age miracle, olay cream also - total effects - fights the ' 7' signs of early aging. Kellogs break fast serial gets 7/7. and then there are 7 horcruxes that voldermort made. what is this 7 business everywhere....spooky

Curly scrunchy hair

So i went to a hair stylist, a REAL hair stylist- not lakhme's dime a donzen stylist not even loreal or any of those other fellows but a real one that was not sponsored by a cosmetic company. (actually there were- wella and werent so different from lakhme/loreal assembly line stylists..i was hoping for a lil more exclusivity sniff)

Anyway dear Ragini washed my hair, conditioned it, put it under something that looked like a giant slad bowl upturned. You know what i am talking about, you have seen them in hollywood movies -in the spa/parlour scenes -a bunch of women sitting with this huge semi sphere glass upturned bowl thing over their heads. Yes! i was under one of those....but its a little disappointing...doesnt do anything..... just releases steam and your head can get nicely cooked. Anyway Ragini washed, conditioned, cut, pulled,teased scrunched and talked -about Rajnikanth (he is so great! and so humble also) - about Page 3 people (i hear even Bangalore has its own page 3....delivered in a most incredulous and vaguely patronizingly congrajulaty tone accompannied with a tee hee), - south indian movies, and -why my hair was so dry and i must never touch these gasp o the shelf hair products (I am a little confused so now i should buy my shampoos online and wait or them to be delivered?)

I negotiated many a sticky moment almost blowing my i-am-so-posh-ive-had-expensive- haircuts-since-before-you-were-born attitude and survived with the 'i know what this giant upturned salad bowl is for' look, took a shot at the 'the leaf unconcernedly through magazine like you have all the time in the world OR totally loose it and threaten to sue' test (good on you ink stained....i leafed, working my way up t be ill-sue-you posh), agonized for hours (even sent a message) over 'the tip or dont tip' test (i dint tip....wait. so did i totally blow my im so posh cover?)

And when Ragini was through hair was eehh ok - curly (scrunched up ragini would say) and fell over my eye. Nice.

what a lot of hot air.....err hair
