When: May 20 // Weather: 50s // Real life: working from home, then dinner on a friend’s back porch
PRIVILEGE ALERT: I never thought I would be this desperate to get my hair done. I mean look at that. I don’t even remember the last time my roots were this long and I could put my hair in a real bun. (Don’t worry, these photos are from a couple weeks ago and I was lucky enough to get a refresh shortly after.)
I expect quarantine 2020 has taught all of us about adaptability. I’ve been pleasantly surprised to learn that I’m more adaptable than I thought I was. I am a creature of habit (I’m about 30% cat) and I’m most comfortable when I can stick to a routine – like getting my hair done every 8 weeks, going to OrangeTheory workouts twice a week, switching the desk in my office from sitting to standing at least every 2 hours.
In mid March when I suddenly couldn’t do anything normal, I was not a fan for the first couple of weeks. But then, I learned to embrace my rooty ponytail, I started working out in my basement to sweat out some stress, and I got in the habit of taking an afternoon walk to keep from sitting too long.
Of course, now the problem is that I’ve become attached to my new routine, to the point that I don’t even want things to go back to “normal.” So if anyone can teach me how to unadapt, that would be great.

Very summery, love it.
Now I have quarantine-induced haircut envy. My hair hasn’t been cut or coloured since March and hairdressers aren’t due to reopen in the UK until at least July. A DIY disaster is brewing.
I too am finding the new routine dangerously addictive: no commute; simplified routine; slower pace.
Oh no! Well I’m sure you still look amazing, and even if you don’t, at least there are fewer people that see you.
