I spent Monday afternoon doing some hair modeling for the Olivia Garden high performance professional flat iron. A hair stylist flew in from CA to record a tutorial on how to make spiral curls with this tool and needed a model with long hair and that is how I came into the picture.
I sat around at a downtown salon for a few hours and watched how they (there were two stylists) did their magic on mannequin heads (with real hair), then I got my make up done and hair curled.



Hair salon products. My next line to try is going to be Kevin Murphy. And Briogeo.



What color am I? There are cool and warm blonde tones.



Here is the result although about 40 minutes "old".....so the curls are coming out. I don't know HOW some people have the time and patience to do their hair every day. To each their own.



For my extraordinary supermodel efforts I got some pictures (there was a photographer there as well), I will get a copy of the video and I got a swag bag full of Olivia Garden brushes and Truss products. Yeay!

I got up at 9 30 today so I could be downtown and ready for Pet Pack (needed to grab a latte first, always) by 11. While in the parking lot with my latte, the person in the vehicle next to me backed into my car. It was an older man and since my car is far from a newer model and already got plenty of scratches and dents I told him not to worry about it. Why complicate someone's life if not necessary?
It was a busy day at Pet Pack and I even got flowers, daffodils and a flower made of fabric that I can keep forever.
Thank You Michael and Fritz for the nice flowers!
Yes I know I said that I do not like to receive cut flowers and everybody that knows me is aware of that but in this situation this person only knows me from a few short meetings at Pet Pack.....



I took the flowers home. I am not going to throw them away although I prefer that flowers don't get cut. And speaking of flowers, we are a week into March and I am starting to see cute little flowers slowly peeking out.



It is Sunday evening. How was your week? Mine was.....well I had a conflict with a person so I have been dealing with that.
Tomorrow I am having a busy day from 10 am until 11 pm. Tonight I am going to take a bath, wash my hair and put on a face mask. Maybe watch a movie. A typical Sunday evening.

In case you don't already know....you can make great bargains on anything Valentine's Day related if you wait until after Valentine's Day to get the card, chocolates, flowers, teddy bear etc.
So instead of stressing and running around on V-Day next year.....wait until the day after or even better about four days or so (for the even better bargains) after Valentine's Day and really spoil your special person with a lot of stuff.
I do not want flowers ever, flowers should only grow outside or in a pot if they are inside, instead of sadly wilting to their death in a vase. I think it is flower abuse to have flowers in a vase. So wasteful.
Look at all the flowers that are left over from February 14.





I like to appreciate my family and friends on Valentine's Day. It's not only about romantic love for me.
The other day one of my friends came over and we had these super cute macarons and some pink bubbly wine that was yucky. I want to find a sweet and yummy bubbly wine and it has to be pink. Still looking.....the one I had one New Year's Eve was ok.
Don't feel bad if you didn't get showered with Valentine's gifts this year or ever.
Remember that many of the couples that show off their "happy" relationship on social media are far from happy in real life.
Celebrate the love you have for family, friends and pets instead! ❤️️




Another thing that is wasteful in my opinion is to get a live tree every year for Christmas only to throw it out when the festivities are over. Poor tree. My plastic tree is over ten years old and it is not going anywhere.

The power outage was still looming earlier today but I think most of Portland will be up and running by tomorrow. Unless something drastic happens.....I guess you never know.

Well.....no work today either due to a power outage in some parts of Portland. So all the bars were supposed to reopen this past Friday, they have been closed since mid November of last year but on Friday Portland got snow and Portland is not very well equipped for snow.
So work got postponed. The snow lasted through Sunday and started melting fast today turning the outside to slush and then there was a power outage as well.
I went to the store and I saw empty shelves.....kind of weird.







So I spent today catching up on some paperwork that I have been avoiding and now that's done. And now I am going to finish Unorthodox (on Netflix), the mini series I started watching last night. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Tomorrow will tell if I finally can go back to work.

Since it started snowing a few days ago Portland paused. Some stores closed earlier and other places did not open at all. No work until tomorrow it looks like for now. A few more days to relax and enjoy life.
Friday it was way too cold to do much outside, the wind was angry and the snow came down hard like little grains. But yesterday it was almost like a winter wonderland and I made a few snow lights outside, snölykta in Swedish, to brighten up the evening. I used to make a lot of these growing up in Sweden.





I spent time inside and watched The White Tiger, a movie which I really liked. I really like seeing stories about other cultures. Then I watched the 20/20 special about Anna Nicole Smith called "Tragic Beauty" and a tragic story it is indeed.
And last night I watched the documentary about Britney Spears called "Framing Britney Spears'". Now I love Britney and she can do nothing wrong in my eyes. And I am happy that more people are coming to her defense and understand how wrong she was treated by many (barf on Justin T he is so lame). Britney is amazing.
Tonight I started watching a mini series (only four episodes) on Netflix called Unorthodox and so far I like it a lot. A fascinating view into the life of Hasidic Jews which I do not know much about. Inspired by an autobiography by Deborah Feldman called, Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots. Again, fascinating!
Today I had Pet Pack and I was also the barista for Potluck In The Park. FUN! This Sunday was the 1540th consecutive Sunday for Potluck In The Park, rain, shine or snow they are there giving out food, blankets, socks, gloves, toiletries, tarps and coffee. And so much more.





This evening things turned icy. The trees looked pretty.





And since it is Valentine's Day....here are some hearts from around my place.
Happy Valentine's Day everybody....! ❤️
