Today I turned 40.
I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this birthday. People always talk about this being such a significant birthday, the kind whose arrival prompts soul searching and life questioning, and I worried that I would feel somehow feel like I hadn’t done enough.
But today was a good day. It was a day full of love, with so many friends reaching out and the most thoughtful gestures from my family. It was special without being fussy. Today was a happy day, and totally angst free.
And to think, I even went out and got myself a mid-life crisis hairdo. Not that you can tell from this picture, but I bleached the ends of my hair, which I’m told will get lighter as the toner washes out. I’ve been wanting to do it for some time now, and it seemed like the perfect time, and I love it.
Happy Birthday Mimi! Your hair looks GREAT! I’ll be 39 in a few months, and I am looking forward to my 40s. Hope all is well….
I was going to say… Your hair looks great! that cut is perfect on you, and i think the bleached ends are fun. one day i will have a job (or not have a job at all) where i can put blue back into my hair, but it will be underneath or on the tips, like this.
Glad you had an angst-free birthday and that it was filled with love instead! (this picture is awesome!)
happy birthday!! your hair looks great, I ombered my hair a few months ago too, I love it!
I love your cut and the lightened ends!!
