As the stay at home orders wind down in NJ I think I'll be able to get a hair cut and color July 15. Badly needed, see above. However, I just learned I may be working from home until the end of the year--so let's see how long I can hold out.
My hair grows very fast but my some miracle it didn't during this quarantine. I tried to look back at my calendar to see if I'd gotten a haircut right before the stay-at-home orders began and I couldn't find any record of it. Saw that I got a haircut a few days before Dad's funeral which would have been the last week in January. I must have gotten a haircut right before the pandemic otherwise my hair would be down past my shoulders! Or did my hair know through mental telepathy that the world was going haywire & to behave and not give me any un-necessary grief.
Contrast the about 3 inches of grey to the below---look how fast my hair grows!
Wishing you safety, good health, and whatever hair color or length you want in the coming months.

PS-have cut my nails twice but I'll spare you the pictures. I also finished the book below, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles and I highly recommend it to anyone-but especially my Chinese-American friends. Oh how my Dad would have loved that book as it talks about NY Chinese restaurants & take-outs in the 70s and 80s. Takes you through why the world loves Chinese food and lots of history I didn't know (& a very home-hitting recount of the "Golden Venture" ship crashing in to the shores of Queens with 285 Chinese immigrants on board in 1993).

Just kidding. I'll never go grey. I love experimenting with different colors and highlights. Its a necessary accessory. Bolsters your mood. Makes you feel young; its such a part of me. But now, yes, we all must go grey. Hair salons are not essential and I wonder how long the quarantine will last. So.....I'm doing an experiment.

Nails on the other hand are a different story. During some webexes I saw women with beautifully (maybe not so beautiful, maybe a week old) manicured nails. Why bother? I've given that up.
