Maggies Hair Pulling Blog

So the magazine article came out! It was my story but written by a lady called Dawn who is a freelance writer, it didn't go on the web so I have scanned a picture of it! Hopefully it is readable if you can zoom in. A few people I know have read it and I had one message via Facebook from an old school friend who stumbled across it! Feedback has been positive from friends and no one from work has read it which is great. I didn't want them to see it as they don't know I wear a volumiser . One thing I found rather strange was that my parents read it but apart from saying that they had read it, they didn't discuss it any further. They haven't made any comments at all! :/ I expect they discussed it between themselves but I don't know what they think about anything that was written. Never mind though.

Unfortunately my hair article is now being moved to November's Psychologies Magazine issue. The pictures were taken on a rainy day and apparently look quite wintry, they also have to jiggle articles around depending on themes etc. It doesn't really matter though....

I know that the gym and less chocolate is the key, however the key is a bit rusty!! I also rather like wine! Worrying about things like this of course makes my hair pulling worse!!! The front is still thin, this whole hair business never seems to end! But the wekend is coming and that is always a positive :)

If the publishers have sorted it all out, then my hair article should be in next months Psychologies Magazine! I've just got my fingers crossed that work people don't see because I work with a bunch of developers and they might take the micky! :/ They also might not, but still! I had my volumiser tightened on Saturday, nearly a week ago now and next time I'm having more blond put in to it. Slowly changing colour! My hair isn't great at the moment but it's still growing because I can see the dark roots from when I had my own hair dyed a few months ago. Just need to leave alone..... I now have a busy weekend ahead! Train journey to London tomorrow and then off to a masked ball! :)
