I bought the color care shampoo and the strengthening conditioner. Paul Mitchell is an animal friendly brand and currently has the PETA and The Leaping Bunny cruelty free, does not test on our cuddly companions stamp of approval.
First the shampoo: I bought it on sale for $9 in Bed Bath & Beyond. Participating in a normal shower routine, I reached for the Paul Mitchell Color Care Shampoo. My first impression is that the smell isn't strong at all, it's pleasant but faint. I pour a decent to average amount in my hand and go to work only to find my tools appear to be broken and my tools are not my hands.
This search made me a little apprehensive. It was the very first time in my life I had considered going to a cruelty free salon. It never dawned on me before.

I sort of welcome the transition from the Spring years of life into my Summer season. By sort of I mean, I had a meltdown turning thirty, but now a ripe old turrteetree I'm excited to embrace societal norms and settle into married life, put roots down, get a mortgage and have children.. alright steady on.. not that excited... yet. Lets just pause at mortgage for the time being.
The inevitability of aging, lets get physical.

I am horrified and I mean aghast at the physical changes I have to contend with on a daily basis. I saw a picture of my 23 year old self last week and as Cher so melodically put it "if I could turn back Tii - imme". Youth is wasted on the young for sure, staring at that photograph I appreciate now what I really didn't then. Don't get me wrong I am absolutely grateful every day for my health but I'd like this vessel that I travel around in daily to be just a Teeny. Bit. Shinier.
You know how it is when you stand in front of the looking glass and you don't recognise everything reflected back at you. You can't resist leaning in bit closer to further inspect every line, wrinkle and lumpy dimple. Poems and tomes have been written about the age old discussion on aging.
I'm getting to the root of the problem.... using....
- Mineral Fusion Gray Root Concealer
Yes I know I'm way too young and attractive to have to deal with the scourge of grey hairs... But we all have our cross to bear. Personally I think they could have been a little catchier with the name and called it something like "Away with Grey". I should consider copyrighting that if it's not gone already or "TM" as Phil Dunphy says; Trademark for those not au fait Modern Family, (TV show).
