Well, at 12.30 I am due at the hairdressers for a long overdue trim and thin out. My hair is now at waist length. I love my long hair. I've had to give up high heels or any heels. I can only wear slip on an velcro adjustable straps now which cost me quite a bit as I have to order then from The Shoe Tailor. I can only wear stretchy fabric clothing, no buttons, no zips or other such thing.
My hair is about the only thing physically that I can still 'have' so to speak. I always hated myself with anything shoulder length or shorter. I cringe every-time we see pictures of my in my teens and early twenties. Others liked it, loved it, I absolutely hated it. I can't stand to even look at my pictures from that time frame.
I'm super vigilant when I go for a trim since the first real 'trim' I got resulted in my long mid-back length hair was cut and thinned out and barely hit my shoulders. I absolutely hated it since then I make sure that I know where my hair will reach before allowing a pair of scissors to touch it.

my hair is my only pride, I'm 55 and it's still naturally red albeit a little darker but only 1 or 2 rare grey hairs.
have you tried "flyflots" they are one brand of shoes/sandals I wear not, too pricey either. My all time favourites are sandals by "gluv" I wear them constantly in & out of the house. I got them in a sale at the kind of shoeshop you can only afford to stand outside of and look in. They were in the sale "reduced" to about £20. I tried the right one and decided "what the hey..." then I tried a little walk in the pair. They fitted well and were like walking on air I said yes and went to pay. The assistant then disappeared and came back with the manager. "I'm sorry, we haven't any more in stock. This one is a 6 and this is a 7." Disappointed I turned to leave. Just then the manager said "Looks like these are for the 50 pence odd-bin" I had that 50p out of my purse so quick!
Gosh what a bargain. Had to laugh. I really do have one foot bigger than the other because of Lymphoedema. ~Wish you could get seperate sizes when you have gammy feet like mine. Didnt like Flyflot; the back straps kept falling down and the slip on ones are a bit dangerous as your foot can slip out of them. I usually get the Cushion -Walk ones out of the catalogue. Usually wait till they have them reduced and then buy a couple of pair size EEE. My God where have my stiletto 6" heels gone? disappeared along with all the years which have gone before. Getting maulding now..
