Thank you all. And yes, we need so little to get all excited these days! A trip to the hairdresser!! A simple lunch out with husband! WOW! (To be honest, I always got pretty excited and happy about those events but they're even more special now, for sure!)
Lyn, you asked about colour -- yes, it's natural, and no, I don't use a toner. But if I still lived in eastern Ontario I would need to use a purple shampoo occasionally because of the minerals in the water. They leave a yellow tinge on light hair. Here on the west coast the water is different and I find that I no longer need it.
