It seems I have been overlooking the blog again as I have been reminded to make an entry on a few occasions. I have been just going on with my daily life, and dredging through the snow and cold walking to both jobs. We painted the salon a few weeks back a new fresh hint of yellow called essence, brightening and bringing some warmth to the salon. We left one wall chocolate along the back and repainted the back bar (shampoo) area a nice pale sky blue that blends with the nice ½ inch shimmery blue tile. I love the brightened new look and over time we will also be bringing in new ideas and décor to change things a bit over time. I have to say I am thrilled for Jenny and the salon to be featured in the new March issue of Allure magazine and already we have seen a spike in business. I am in discussions with Matt our web guy and we should start updating the Pure website within the month. Business and clients are still building, but I think I am starting to see progress, I am just so impatient.
I have been working; it seems more at Restoration Hardware lately as well. We had a few long days for resetting the floor for the new spring outdoor collections. So some days I had to be in at 6am and other days stay till midnight. I also realized I really have not had a single total day off from either place, but I hope to find one soon, I certainly don’t want to get burned out. The store in general can be slow and times and of course I can always make myself busy by tidying up, but also I find myself shopping, which is something I really cant afford to do right now.
Jay has been traveling a lot for work lately so perhaps that has added to a bit to my seasonal depression. I am hoping spring will lighten things up and make me feel better about things and the future. We are great, it is just hard to start over in a new place and we still have not made many friends yet. Plus it is pretty damn expensive and the people can be downright rude, but I have discussed this all before. It is almost here in April and we will be over the first year hump.
