Buying Wigs

There was a time when I was far more foolish about money. I was on the streetcar with a good friend of mine and we decided to get off so I could look into a store on west Queen West in Toronto.

I got into the store and decided to buy a $200.00 CDN wig! The wig was long and black with bangs and I am not completely sure what possessed me to spend that much money on a wig that was synthetic hair.

Once my friend and I got back on the streetcar, he very smartly suggested to me that I had spent too much on the wig. He was even nice enough to call me out on buying the wig in the first place. Mind you - I did not have a lot of money coming in at the time.

I got angry and told him off and went to sit in another part of the streetcar. Before we reached our destination - I smartened up and realized that he was right and everything was as right as rain after that.

Keep in mind too - I do not have the wig anymore. That was like throwing $200.00 out the window.

Zhara: It's actually more of a community of support and motivation more than a personal website per se. I joined a community online photo blog called fotki.com to document my personal hair journey among thousands of other...

Britney Spears Plans Plastic Surgery

Britney Spears is planning to undergo cosmetic surgery because she has slacked off her diet sources say. Spears would like her body to be the way it was before she had kids. Spears has been ripping pages out of magazines to choose what she thinks are her favourite body parts. Sources say Spears is insecure over how much her body has changed since having her kids. She is reported wanting to do whatever it takes to be back to her best, even if that means plastic surgery. Psychologist Linda Blair says that Britney may need more than just plastic surgery to feel better about herself. Blair says people often think plastic surgery is the answer and will solve their problems when it really does not. Spears is looking into getting a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast enhancement and rhinoplasty. She is also looking to get a chemical peel for her facial skin.
