Dear 16-Year-Old Michelle, Hey there, Skinny! How’s it going? Oh, I know you think that life is tough right now – but trust me when I say that it has never been easier than you’ve got it right now, kid. You’re skinny. You’re pretty. You have a great group of friends. You’re learning to sing…
Hi! I’m Michelle I’m the person behind the bedhead (under it? in it?). I haven’t always been this glamorous. I know that’s hard to believe, but it’s true. You can ask my hairdresser if you don’t believe me. The stories she could tell. I’m a 50+ year old mother, daughter, author, employee, and friend. I…
Bedhead – inspiring laughter in bedrooms around the world every day. When my daughter, Lydia, was little, we shared a bedroom at my mother’s house. At least once a week, when I was tucking her in, she would say “Mommy, let’s have a Laugh Fest.” Now, some of you may not be familiar with a…
Apparently, it’s true. At a very low point in my hair history, I sported a mullet. I had actually blocked this out of my conscious memory, and was blissful in my lack of remembrance. Then Facebook happened. Plausible deniability no longer exists…because people from your past took photos of you. Not only was I wearing a…
As you can probably tell, I have a pretty large comfort zone. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I saw the border of my comfort zone. Yeah – it’s that big. But it wasn’t always so. When I was a child I had the comfort zone the size of a postage stamp. I had…
I have spent so much of my life not using things. Like this mug, for example. I have had this mug since 1991 and I have never used it. I had kept it in my china cabinet so nothing would happen to it. And you know what happened to it? I forgot about it. Maybe…
Back by popular demand (one person saw the blog and said “you should write more”), your beloved bedhead has returned! I know it’s been a few years and you’ve probably been wondering what I’ve been up to. Here’s a quick rundown of what has happened in my life since July of 2014. (Holy crap, has…
Some days I’m tempted to leave the house with bedhead simply because it adds a few extra inches to my height. If you combine two inches of hair and three inches in high heels, I might actually reach 5’5″. Of course, that would mean I’d be leaving with bedhead, and ending the day with a…
Bucket List: A List of Things to Complete Before You Kick the Bucket. Everybody’s Bucket List is different. We all aspire to do different things that will thrill and amaze us. Whether it is meeting a celebrity, jumping from an airplane, seeing Paris, or learning to play the guitar. I understand the Bucket List concept….
In your entire life you will never see your own face other than in reflection, photograph, or video. You will never see yourself as other people do. Think about that. Boggles the mind a bit. But it also got me to thinking…you can never experience yourself in any way like others experience you. You can guess how you…
