Finally, a German hairdresser is being honest

September 12, 2007

Not sure I’d pick these guys as my hairdressers… But I have actually found a great day spa/hair salon in Regensburg, Andrea Garburg, and I’ve heard from Sarah that I’m not the only satisfied customer.

I’ve got a question for ya

I’ve now entered the stage of pregnancy where it’s almost impossible to sleep. And most likely, this will not improve any time in the next few years. Yippee!
