When talking about becoming a mom, they’ll post things like: “This is the most sensational feeling of my life, “I’m loving every moment, “It’s like my heart is beating

Going from brunette to redhead has been a high-maintenance joyride. I’m loving the fresh look, but maintaining the vibrancy of the color I first left the salon with is expensive and time-consuming.
