It's Time For a New Do!!!

So it took me forever to grow it out after I had my son 18 mos ago he left my hair brittle and limp..Now it's pretty much back to it's fullness but It's such a hassle to dry and style. I feel like my hair is just so blah.. I want something stylish but easy to manage and that doesn't take 2 hours to fix in the morning if I want to wear it down. Lately I have found myself putting my hair in a pony tail and bun for work just to avoid the hassle of blowing out my hair. It's down to the middle of my back and I want a change, a new me! I'm almost 30 and want a new mature stylish look. This is what I have mind. Any thoughts???

Of course I know my hair will not look exactly like this. Especially considering I have really dark hair, but I love the style and it doesn't look hard to style some root pump, frizz serum, and some wax for the ends.

There Aren't Enough Hours in the Day

This is how I feel from Monday thru Friday..... Wake up, get the kids dressed and ready, get myself dressed and ready, work, home, dinner ( or pick something up) cheer practice, home, study, sleep and repeat...... Lately with a full load of classes and in my last semester of my accounting degree I can feel the grey hairs pop up as we speak. I absolutely can not wait to be done in February so I can have more free time to do what I want. First thing on the list..... I want to read a good book... not a romantic novel but something to stimulate the mind.... Any suggestions?????  Anyone else feel this way???
