At first they asked if I they could cut it to my shoulders. Of course I said no. I wanted to keep the length, otherwise, I didn't care. They started cutting the top part really short. Like to the middle of my ears short. I got scared. But I had to keep in mind that they were training professionals at Toni & Guy. Their goal was to add more volume but also keep it sleek and modern. By the end of it, I was very happy. Who can refuse a free haircut from a popular (and normally expensive) salon?
My hair is 10 lbs lighter than before. Can't totally see all the layers but you get the gist of it.

I was so sleepy by the end of the rdv - I went back to Amanda's hoping to take a nap, but received an email to check out an apartment in the Montmartre area. It was located in a beautiful private street.
It was so Parisian - I loved it. It even had the old old old elevators. This would NEVER fly in the US. But I found it quite charming.
I love the architecture of the buildings in Paris - and the fact that all these old buildings have modern digicode pads. Well, the owners of the apt were a no-show so I went to try Higuma in Japantown. I read about it in Hungry for Paris. I ordered what was recommended - the gyoza and ramen. The gyoza was good but not fried enough on the bottom, but I remain neutral on the ramen. Noodles weren't the right noodles. Broth a bit bland. Pork was nicely cooked though. But definitely NOT something to write about. It ain't got nothing on Ryowa or Santa Ramen in CA!
Afterwards, I realized that balls were right around the corner... so why not? Nice lid.
Ummm I got warm balls in my belly ! (Hot green tea with milk). If you look closely, you can see my semi-healed thumb injury.
I was so full so I decided to walk back home from the 2nd arrondisement. It was beautiful tonight.

Hey, I had "balls" last night too! Taro flavored (or Ube, as we Filipinos like to call it). Delish!
I actually successfully turned Schmooblebottoms into a Boba convert. We were still in Seattle and I wanted to get some bubble tea. He acted repulsed. Until I ordered one and had him have a sip. He immediately went home and Googled "bubble tea" in Dallas so that he could find the closest place we could get it after we moved. HA!
