As a result of eating all those comfort carb calories.

LOL, i saw someone say "when this is all over let's pretend we don't all look fatter with bad hair."

Haha! We have to keep our sense of humor. Just saw this.

We hardly ever eat potato chips. We bought four bags thinking we would have them as a treat during quarantine. Quarantine hasn't even started for us. Two bags are gone.

omg all of the above will be me!

maybe not the eyelashes though.

I’m so glad I’ve stopped coloring my hair. My hair stylist lives right by me and I know can get a haircut If I’m really desperate even if the salon closes.

I don’t color my hair, but DS is in dire need of a cut. Even he noted it. I mean, it’s down his neck and in his eyes. I can’t cut hair, may have to just take the shaver to it. Heck classes are online for the remainder of the semester, and the DMV is closed so he won’t be having his picture taken for his license, so what the heck.

In three weeks there will be a hair coloring shortage instead of toilet paper. Stock up now.

So glad I just got my hair cut, do my own nails and hair color, that our Pilates studio is offering free online mat classes until May 15th, and we have plenty of good hiking and biking in our area. However, I did make brownies today, which I seldom do, and have eaten a good portion of the batch already. Delish and easy recipe. Yep, you're welcome.

Note: Baking time is NOT 40 minutes as per directions, more like 20-25. Once the edges begin to pull away and center is firm, call it done.

Whatsayyou, I just got my hair cut two weeks ago, too! And while I can’t get to the gym with my gym buddy, our local pilates studio is doing “March Matness” with one daily exercise that will all string together. Of course, on day 15 I am exactly 12 days behind. It’s how I roll lol

I keep wondering in nine months how many babies will be named Corona?

While I am currently in a state with very few cases, I went to Costco to stock up on some pantry items to prepare in case we cannot go to the grocery store for the fresh foods I usually eat. Looking at my pantry I'm feeling 5lbs heavier already.

prickly, you may be in a state with very few diagnosed cases but you can and should assume there are many, many more undiagnosed cases.

In Stephen Colbert's bathtub monologue from yesterday, he said this:

“I’m sure a lot of you are worried, but if you’re watching this from home, know that you’re doing the right thing. I’m at home, every member of my staff is home, because we need to slow the spread of this virus. Epidemiologists call this 'flattening the curve.’ But based on my current level of inactivity and stress baking, I definitely will not be flattening my curves.”

So Bpath, you're in good company.

My nails need some shaping and I would love to support my nail salon because they are awesome people, but to practice appropriate social distancing, this is something that just cannot be done. And I was so looking forward to treating myself for a mani-pedi over spring break. I am terrible at shaping my nails but it's just going to have to work. Or just cut them.

I will defer to my stylist what she plans to do. She has her own room in a salon suite, so it's always one on one, but her cumulative exposure from client to clients.

DH yesterday said he is also in need of a haircut. He is not sure what to do.

I can relate to this thread. We don’t usually stock up on food, normally one of us goes to a store nearly daily .... I didn’t realize having all this food in the house would compel me to graze on it day and night like a cow. 😬

I’ve discovered honey mustard pretzel pieces and am afraid to look at the nutrition label. I’m not a fan of sweets, my weaknesses are with the salty and savory snacks. And starchy carbs. Oh, how I love starchy carbs.

Also — gonna need a new wardrobe soon .....

I ran into a friend at the store yesterday. She had a bag of Welch’s jelly beans in her cart, so of course I had to pick up a bag, too. The forces in the universe are strong lol! I’ve missed Smucker’s jelly beans, but the Welch’s are just as good! Hmm, maybe I’d better check just a couple more from the bag just to be sure . . .

My hair was cut and colored Friday morning right before it hit the fan. Part of me is relieved, part of me wishes that I missed the appt so I could take the plunge and start going all gray. I'm so sick of being bossed around by my roots.

I was recently whining about how short my hair is after my last cut, but am now glad I went as short as I did. Means I have a cushion of probably another 2 to 3 weeks before I start looking extra shaggy. And when that happens, I'll just tell myself it's "edgy". Hey, it's all in how you frame it, right?

I got my hair colored last week and I'm so glad I did. Though by next month it won't matter.

I think the best thing one can do to avoid putting on weight at this time is to be careful what you put in the cart in the first place. We have no junk food, processed food or added-sugared snacks in the house, so when it comes time to graze it's significantly less likely that I'll OD on cheese, yogurt or raw nuts. If I had potato chips or the like in my house, they'd be calling my name all day.

DH and I were in the store the other day, and all the TP was gone. Right next to it was the hair color, and it was full! We figured that pretty soon that would be cleared out, too. On the other hand, maybe it’s an opportunity to try something radically different!

I just had my cut and color last week. I go about 6 weeks between appointments, but I might buy a box of hair color just in case...

My husband and I use the same stylist. She is closed to business but texted that if we want her to she will come to our house to give us trims. We’re still trying to keep isolated so declined her offer, for now. That change by next week, because my husband said we could always give each other haircuts!

Break out your Flowbees!

Mr Jinx has been letting his hair grow out, so no worries there. Me? There are hair worries. My stylist is like a family member to us, so we’ll figure something out. 😄

We were supposed to get our hair cut (DH) and trimmed (me - just the back) today and I got a text from our stylist late last night saying they closed down yesterday. She lives right by us so is going to come by and do the cutting at our house. After this we'll probably just let the hair grow. I am SO glad I got my hair lightened and quit coloring. The brown hair with gray roots would have driven me nuts. The current state is very tolerable. My hair stylist has become a friend and I'm so concerned for her and her DH who owns a bar/restaurant - they are now all closed in MN. I know I will want to give her a hug but will steer clear of that. I may offer her a glass of wine and we can sit six feet apart after the haircut.
