Good - bye tree

Bryce's kitty kat - Cooper was up in the tree that was due to be cut down the next morning. He just had to be rescued!



Mission accomplished. Cooper was safely retrieved from the doomed tree! Peace is once again reining at our house!


Our poor Globe Willow tree was old. We had a really intense ice storm last year and the tree just didn't make it back this spring...The main branch had 3 major cracks in it and looked like it would fall on the house with the first windy day. We get some crazy windy days around here too!




Take note of the guy at the top of the tree in the picture above (you can click on the picture to see him better). He was kinda of a show off... he knew we were watching him! None the less, he really knew what he was doing and did a great job!


The tree is gone now and after being so sad about losing it I had to admit I really like how it opened up our yard. It looks like there will be all kinds of things we can do to pretty it up!



Have a great hair day! Bec

Hair care product diversion

Hello Everyone—Those of us who loathe product diversion scored a sweet victory early last week, when “Good Morning America” aired a Consumer Report focused on professional hair product diversion. If you didn’t catch it, the segment warned consumers about the dangers of purchasing diverted products at unauthorized outlets. The report revealed the “Three C’s” of doing so—these products are often COUNTERFEIT, CONTAMINATED and (here’s the best part) they actually COST more than they do in salons. We got tons of emails from industry pros who saw the report and were thrilled because they felt that salon clients were getting the truth at last. The next time your client tells you that she buys her professional product at the corner CVS or Target, be sure to let her know about the three “Cs.” It’s a great way to help her understand that diverted products are no bargain!
