- The good news is that Scarlette learned the sign for washing her hands. The bad news is that she decided to take this newfound knowledge and try it out. In the toilet.
- I saw a conversation on twitter where someone was said “he was 12 weeks old when we brought him home” and I thought to myself “Self! I didn’t realize that she was a preemie mom!” So I clicked through to see the photo and discovered that she was totally talking about a puppy. And also that apparently my life filter has changed.
- I was walking through Target this weekend and I caught a glimpse of a girl who looked JUST LIKE ME. I was like “SELF! THAT GIRL IS YOUR DOPPLEGANGER! YOU MUST MEET HER NO MATTER HOW AWKWARD IT IS!” Except the actual awkward part was that when I turned around to catch up with her, I realized that what I thought was my twin was really just a badly placed mirror in the juniors department. I TRIED TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH MY OWN REFLECTION, Y’ALL. That is awful. And I totally didn’t get to fulfill my dream of finding my identical hand twin (wink wink FRIENDS fans)
- Did you know that if you run out of dry shampoo and instead sprinkle baby powder on your dark brown hair it will turn your hair completely grey? You’re welcome.
- Scarlette and I went to breakfast at a tiny little mom & pop country cafe out here in the boonies this weekend. While she was serving our grits, the waitress asked me if I attended the school down the street. Apparently even with grey hair I look closer to fifteen than thirty.
About Kayla Aimee
Why do kids love toilets? If you dye your hair blonde, the baby powder totally works. I’ve shared that trick with my friends since junior high. It’s probably the only beauty tip I’ve learned from my mom and kept. I feel your pain on looking young. When I was pregnant with my daughter, a cute little old lady told me I didn’t look old enough to have a baby. She was very surprised to hear I had another baby at home and that I was closer to 30 than the 20 years old she though I was. I just pray when I’m 40 people think I’m 30.
I’m trying really hard to feel sorry for your youthful appearance. It’s not really working though.
Also, the Target story cracked. me. up.
“None of you get to live with me in my great big hand-shaped mansion! Except for you, Pheebs, you can live in the thumb”
Best. Show. Ever.
OH MY GOSH I thought I was the only one who had gray hair with baby powder! I was like SELF, HOW COULD YOU SCREW UP PUTTING BABY POWDER IN YOUR HAIR?!? So thank you for that. Also, I googled it and came across this pin… http://pinterest.com/pin/168814686002344424/ Me wonders if it would end in sticky hair?
This dark-haired lady has also gotten gray hair from trying to degrease DIY-style (though with cornstarch, since that’s what we had). Glad I’m not alone!
Miss Scarlette looks like a delectable confection in this outfit. So sweet. She’s reading Pat the Bunny!
(Love, love, love Friends.)
Glad I’ve got naturally blonde hair(*wink wink) because I can totally use baby powder in stead of expensive dry shampoo & I think it works better.
Sprinkle the baby powder in your hands and rub them together then rub your roots with your powdered hands. It works for this dark haired girl.
I haven’t found my identical hand twin either. LAME. However, I do know a girl that looks like you!
Tooooooo, too funny! I’ve thought for months that this sweet, young mom at my church looks JUST like you
Same age and all. If you are ever in Utah, let me know and I will send her to hang out in the Jr’s department at Target, just to mess with you 
Seriously though, every Sunday I see her I think, “Kayla Amiee’s got a twin!”
identical hand twin hahahahaha i love you forever
You are hilarious! I love that you were going to make friends with yourself in the mirror. That’s one of the best stories ever. I bet you look great with your new gray hair.
If by “great” you mean “completely ridiculous” then yes, yes I do
Noooo!! Don’t use baby powder on your dark hair! Use cocoa powder. Not making that up.
ha. hahaha. aw man. the target thing is HILARIOUS
