It’s all in my forehead/nose area, so I know it’s sinus related…but I’m not congested or anything. I also have some pain in my jaw when I get these headaches too. It is just so frustrating. It’s only happens at pilates, I am fine throughout the day. I don’t know what’s going on but I need to figure it out!

So, no one I see on a daily basis has noticed that I cut my hair. My hairdresser said that’s a good thing because it means he didn’t cut a lot of length off…but I feel like it is quite different from before. Sigh. I think I just have to embrace the fact that most people aren’t as detail- oriented as I am. I can tell when someone is wearing a different eyeshadow or blush than usual!
I just really notice things like that on people. I guess deep down, I am happy no one noticed, because that means my hair still looks long! I also think some people aren’t as vocal as I am about little changes in apperance. I tend to compliment people a lot, but I always mean it. I think it brightens people’s days when you take a moment to make a sincere comment about them.
This weekend, I am going to take a little trip to Ulta to buy a prize for my 300 followers contest. I hope you will all enter for a chance to win! I would like to do contests more often too. I think it’s a fun way to thank everyone for reading all of the sometimes random thoughts I have (like 80% of this blog post.)
Before I go, my gorgeous friend Maja (featured in this blog post) sent me these pics from the Chanel, Lanvin and Valentino spring shows, and I must say I was taken aback at the gorgeousness of the clothes.
Everything is so pretty, and ruffly and feminine. I am really feeling those collections. Just my style! Unfortunately, the price tags are probably insane…but a girl can dream, right?
Speaking of chic clothes, I saw these photos of The Hills star Kristin Cavallari shopping on The Skinny Website (which is a fun blog to follow, BTW) and I thought her outfit was so cute- down to the details on her jean pockets, so I thought I’d share them with you all!
What do you think of Kristin Cavallari’s outfit?
Since this blog was such a mish-mash of subjects, please feel free to comment about any element of this post…and if anyone has advice on how to get rid of headaches without using pain meds, I would love to hear them.
xoxo,
Veronika.
I'm loving the runway pics!!! Did the blog happen to say what jeans Kristin is wearing? This is a long shot, but do you clinch your jaw when you're working out or really concentrating? I do this during yoga sometimes (during some of the more challenging poses), and it can lead to a headache sometimes. I hope you find out what it is soon! I'm serious about my workouts, too, so I totally understand how frustrating it is to feel badly during a workout.
stephie- that's a good suggestion, I need to make a conscious effort to figure out if i'm clenching my jaw (I tend to do so in my sleep) the weird thing is that it has only ever happened twice (today and on monday when i went). I've never had this problem before.
thanks again for your suggestion!
Cute OOTD! I was also going to mention the jaw clenching…hope your headaches stop though!
Stephie-the jeans are Black Orchid (Black Devil Zipper in Thunder wash)!
My go-to for headaches is Origin's "Peace of Mind". I swear by the stuff and have used it for years! You pretty much rub it into the major pressure points on your head and breath deeply.
rach- thanks for ID'ing those jeans…I love them!
daisies- thanks for the rec, I might have to try it!
Girl-your hair looks great! I am so envious! : )
thanks Joi 🙂
I'm sorry Veronika! I am so bad at noticing differences, I barely notice when the hubby gets a haircut. I hear ya about the compliments thing– my eyes always go to a person's outfit, so I try to make an honest (read: not fake) effort to mention what's cute. Oh and I do like KC's outfit… I hate that I like her and her style, since she's a bit of a biatch, but oh well. 🙂
Justine- I meant people I see daily like work colleagues and stuff hehe! 😛
I agree that Kristin seems to have consistently cute style. She has also gotten a lot thinner. BTW Justine- will you post an entry about your fitness/workouts if you do them? i would love to hear about your routine!
I love Kristin's new look! I used to watch her on Laguna Beach, and although I despised her on the show, I couldn't help but watch that fiesty Cali girl 😉 Her style, like my own (hopefully), has come a long way since high school!
I subscribe to quite a few blogs, but always find myself looking for your blog posts, I get excited when I see that you have posted something! I love your ramblings (wow don't i sound like a creeper! lol) but I definitely love your hauls!!
I love KC's jeans.. so cute.I love the detail.. don't feel bad about your hair.. you know I am like you I always love giving compliments etc but I find ppl don't stop to notice things..or to give a kind word.. eh whateves!
V- try drinking an "Emergen-C" before class to bump up your electrolytes… but if you have a headache after try drinking Lime Water. (Cut and squeeze a fresh lime into your water)…
I'm honestly not sure of the properties of why it works, but whenever I'd get headaches after Bikram my aunt (who's a Bikram instructor) would suggest that… it's pretty refreshing too!
Hayes- what a great suggestion! I do drink emergen-c when i feel i'm about to get sick, but now i'll try taking it before class. I also like the lime water idea. I love drinking water with lemons in it so I'm sure I will love the lime too!
Katie- you are so sweet! I am glad you enjoy my posts and ramblings. I'm honored to have such awesome readers who also contribute so much to this blog!
iiris- I too am amazed at how many people fail to see the beauty in everyday life (or just fail to be vocal about it). Spread the love, people!
I am sure people have noticed your hair, even though it doesn't seem like much of a change. Do you really expect every person you come in contact with to compliment you on your hair? You don't constantly need people fawning all over you. Or do you?….
anon- no, I don't expect compliments, I just am a really detail oriented person so I always tend to notice, and comment when someone changes something about their look 🙂 That's why I said in my post that I have to realize that a lot of people aren't like me (in noticing every detail)
Love the OOTD and I really like that F21 jacket too. Target is great for cardi's. I adore KC's style and agree that her style has come a LONG way but she is consistently very cute in her choices lately. She has gotten really thin though – but pressure of Hollywood, whadda ya expect? Love those Valentino dresses, up my alley as well although far from my wallet range. Enjoy
Did you purchase that cardi recently?
I would say 2 weeks ago. It was right at the front of the women's section. It was $29.99
I love that cardigan! It's so pretty 🙂
Thanks for dropping your link in my Target post. You look fantastic in it!
thanks Gigi 🙂 I love it, it looks great on you too!
love kristin's outfit. cool in a kinda badass way.
