A friend of mine was told by her daughter that she gave off negative energy, and was hard to be around. Just in time for the birth of her first grandchild. My friend was bereft, rejected by her own child.

Hmmm. I told her that when I was thirty years old and divorced from the man that my mother encouraged me to marry, I didn’t talk to her for over a year. My mother’s power made me furious. When she called me crying, I spoke briefly and hung up quickly. I dismissed her ruthlessly.

Fast forward four years. I’m in the hospital giving birth to my first baby. I stand up and faint, and the nurse tells me that when I gained consciousness, I was calling for my mother.

She was the best grandmother in the world.

So mothers and daughters that love and reject each other, your blood line is strong, irrevocable, and as red as a valentine heart.

Coco Chanel saw the fishermen in Deauville, so the legend goes, and was enchanted by their striped boat-neck shirts made of soft  jersey.

She modernized women’s fashion, and gave them the little black dress, clusters of pearls, style and comfort.

Now stripes are back! Just not in your hair. If you leave your favorite salon with stripey highlights. go straight to Bewitched Salon for the revolutionary color system, the Geo Palette.

Get fabulous hair color and design, diffused, gorgeous, lustrous color that would have caught Coco’s eye.

Treat yourself for the holiday. Coco Chanel would approve.

Okay, I’m thankful that I’m alive, that I’m still reasonably attractive, that I’m not depressed, and that I have love in my life.

So why am I always complaining?
Sure, money is tight, my kitchen has a hole in the ceiling, I’m going gray more quickly than ever, and I’m not as flexible.

But I love wearing my high heeled shoes, strutting my stuff, seeing a great movie, watching the leaves change, buying my favorite cookie from the pastry shiop and savoring it over a good cup of coffee.

So shut the hell up, me.

By the way…speaking of gray, for gorgeous color, come to Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY and get the revolutionary Geo Palette. Call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490 for the most cutting edge color in the world. Go to www.geopalette.com and view our results.

Come and see us. I promise you’ll be forever thankful, and you won’t hear a single complaint from me. By the way. Happy Thanksgiving to all. And I’ve cheated…the attached photo is not me, it’s my daughter. If she’s the apple and I’m the tree, I give thanks.

I saw the new Harry Potter the other day, and, SPOILER  ALERT, a particular character dies towards the end of the movie. I was unmoved, just a tad sad.

I also thought that as much as I enjoyed the movie, parts of it were reminiscent of Lord of the Rings…like the locket around the neck affecting the characters negatively.

But a little girl was absolutely SOBBING her eyes out, and her mother was trying to comfort, and shush her, as the sobs became wailing.

My crying was unstoppable when I was a little girl. The movie? The Swan. The handsome poor teacher leaves his pupil, despite their love. I cried for days. I wonder if my separation anxiety has to do with the damned movie?

For happiness, bliss, joy, and new found confidence, get your hair colored with the Geo Palette at its’ flagship salon, Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY.  Go to our website, www.geopalette.com for results. Or call us for an appointment at 516 374-1490. No tears, no sobbing, compliments galore.

Ask any great professional about hair color as we get older, and we’re told…”Go lighter and brighter!”

Hair that’s too dark accentuates the lines and wrinkles. Too light, and we look washed out.

Here at Bewitched Salon, we say, “Go lighter and brighter AND GET THE GEO PALETTE!” There is something about the subtlety and richness of the system’s color that takes at least a decade off our age!

And there is nothing more life-affirming than feeling (and looking) beautiful!

Look for our results at www.geopalette.com. Call us at 516 374-1490 to make an appointment.

The Geo Palette in action!

The new look for fall includes saddlebags….in leather, not as a body part!

Rugged booties are all the rage as well…on our feet, not raggedy rear ends!

We still love our pencil skirts, but do we need bodies like pencils to wear them? We think not. Watch Christina Hendricks in Mad Men for a real woman with curves. Love it.

Skinny pants are still rampant, and with the right top and shoes, everyone can wear them.

The Geo Palette Hair System serves up hair with an autumn flair….come in for revolutionary color and a disconnected cut, fresh for fall, at Bewitched Salon in Woodmere, NY, or look at our website, www.geopalette.com for the future of hair!
