A Quick Trip Home- All For a Haircut...?

Boston, MA

2021 Spring Semester

A 6 hour drive home on a Sunday, all so I could get my hair done...

The final result. 

Let me ask a few questions: do you love getting your hair done? Do you love the way it smells afterwards? Do you love the way it feels when your hair dresser is massaging your head in a peaceful and soothing way? But most importantly, do you only trust one specific person?

If you answered yes to any of those questions then you're in the right spot. 

I live right outside of Boston so my hair salon is located in one of Bostons outer cities: Brookline. The salon I go to is called 'Dellaria.' My whole life I have been going to a salon in my small town Winthrop, but this past summer my older sister, Abby, encouraged me to try this new salon out. I am a very picky person when it comes to my hair...I like to have my hair a specific length, specific color and specific style. Therefore, I was a little hesitant. But I decided, 'hey we're living in a pandemic, why not take some risks and try out a new salon right?'

So one Sunday morning in June of 2020 I drove 20 minutes into the city and was on time for my first appointment at "Dellaria" located right near Fenway Park and Boston University. I walked in and immediately was drawn to the Moroccan oil scent and the up-beat hip music they were playing. I began to think this was a great idea. I met my new hairdresser, Anna, she was extremely nice and super friendly. She asked me exactly what I wanted and did exactly what I asked. I was beyond happy about the result of my hair- after that day this was my new salon.

Flash forward about 9 months and here we are, March of 2021. I have not gotten my haircut in a few months and when I went back to school in January my hair was getting to a length that was making me uneasy. I enjoy my hair at a shorter length right around my shoulders. I always have and I most likely always will. A few days prior to my road trip, I decided to pack a bag and drive the 6 1/2 hours from Baltimore to Boston on a Sunday all for a quick haircut Monday morning. I know I may sound crazy, but like I said- I only trust specific people cutting my hair! 

Being that we are in a pandemic the salon still has restrictions. They clean off the seats frequently and have boarders up on the rinse sinks.

I finally got my hair done and I am ecstatic. I will now embark on my journey back to Baltimore. 

Here are a few pictures of my journey to get my hair done...

Usually you could see the Boston skyline- but the fog is taking the beauteous view away. 

If you're in the Boston area and are in need of getting your hair done- try stopping by Dellaria and asking for Anna!

Sunday Funday or Easter Sunday?

Nanny's House- Winthrop, MA Spring Semester, 2021 Easter Sunday, Pandemic Style, turns into Sunday Funday... This is my families first "normal" Easter in four years.  Three years ago, 2018, Easter Sunday was tough. My grandmother, dads mom, passed away. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer a month prior, and it was just getting worse. We knew her time was near, but Easter Sunday approached and the family as a whole went to the hospital said happy Easter talked to her for a little while (even though she was unresponsive) and when we left my dad got the call.  We made it back to my other grandmothers house and right when we were sitting down for dinner, that's when my dad got the call and went on his way to the hospital with his other siblings. As sad as we were, she went out on a holiday that she loved after feeling the warmth of her family around her that morning.  A Family Photo. Two years ago, 2019, Easter Sunday my sister fell down the stairs and sprained her ...

One More Night at Home...

Foxborough, MA   2021 Spring Semester  A Scrumptious Dinner With my Roommate Before we Drove Back to Maryland! Entering: Foxborough, MA. 'Home of the Patriots.' One last night out for a nice dinner before road tripping back to Maryland won't hurt, would it? My roommate is from Norfolk, MA which is a small town right next to Foxborough, MA.  Foxborough, of course, is widely known for being the home field of the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Aside from the field, Gillette Stadium, also known as, Patriots Place- has an abundance of delicious restaurants and marvelous shops.  Patriots Place- Gillette Stadium.  Before getting to sleep early for a nice 6 1/2 hour drive back to school Melina and I decided to grab a quick meal at a restaurant called 'Six String.' I have never been before, but it was awesome. The vibes in there were awesome and the music being played aloud was even better. Prior to COVID, this restaurant would have live bands come and preform each weeke...
