Day 7: A bottle of hair conditioner

Not just any bottle of conditioner, today I threw away a bottle of conditioner that must be over 2 years old AND has been in my shower the whole time. (again, using AB as my time marker, I know she was still sleeping in her crib). It was during Dustin's first trip to Kenya. I decided to surprise him and get my hair cut short and my colored. The haircut was ok and the color wasn't exciting (what did surprise him was the amount of money that came out of our account that day).

Anyways, you know how the stylist always preaches agains whatever product you are currently using and how you should buy their product? Well, they got me. I bought the shampoo. Got home, tried it 3 days and it was cr*p. I then went to Sally's and bought a generic fancy shampoo instead. I didn't need conditioner because my hair was short and it always tends to get my hair a little oily. Anyways, there was this sale at Sally's that made the shampoo cheaper if you bought a conditioner too. It didn't make sense to me, I just wanted the shampoo, but taking advantage of the sale, I bought both. And as you can guess, I never used it. I have cleaned around it for 2 years. Every morning when I shower and see it, I think of 2 things, how tight I made our budget that pay period by getting a not so great cut and not running it by Dustin first and I think of how I wasn't strong enough to tell the chick cutting my hair, I do not want to buy her product!

I am a stronger person today than I was then. I do not need to be reminded of that day any more. Good buy 2 year old conditioner that has taken up space in my shower and taunted me.
