A while back I ran across this fabulous blog, and I just had to get the author on here! In(side) the Loop is written by a spunky girl named Courtney. Let me just tell you, she is awesome! In my opinion, she defines the phrase “well rounded woman.”
Here is a little bit about her taken from her own blog, “A Louisiana native, I moved to New York and led the wholesale divisions for Hollywould and Jill Stuart, as well as designed with couturier Ralph Rucci. I have spent the last 4 years “Inside the Loop” in Houston, Texas. Now, with my amazing husband and furry daughter, Burkly Deluxe, we embark on our next adventure in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.” I mean seriously who just picks up and moves to Malaysia?
Courtney gave me permission to publish one of her posts here, but after looking through them, there was NO way that I could pick one. She has so many interests, and such a zest for life that I just felt like it was impossible to get the true essence of “her” into one post. Luckily, she was kind enough to email me a list of a few of her favorites. I had a difficult time picking one even from the condensed list, but I have just come to the realization that I will just have to tell you to head on over to her site and be enlightened yourselves.
As much as I love all of her posts, this one just speaks to me. Maybe it’s because as a WAHM of three kids, the thought of being able to do something so spontaneous and exciting seems like a distant dream, but really I just think that it captures some of her fun personality.

This morning I met a friend for coffee. For a couple of months now, she and I have been trying to visit New York City, but flight and hotel rates are astronomical. Since they don’t seem to be dropping, we planned for a September trip.
Something many of you may not know [...this is where the whole insane bit may come into play], I fly to New York to get my hair cut. Before you pass judgement, allow me to explain. My hair is half curly, half straight and all frizz, and it takes a special person to control it. When I lived in the city, the angels descended to Earth and led me to Corvette, the most amazing man to ever comb his fingers through my hair and tousle it just so [Hi J, I love you!].
My curls were standing straight as I thought about being reunited with him come September. Corvette is nothing short of shear genius.
Around 10AM, I received insider information: Corvette is leaving me. As of Wednesday, he is going on tour as Madonna’s personal stylist for five whole months. I am both ecstatic and enraged all at the same time. So, I did what any crazed normal girl would do, I immediately booked an appointment for Saturday at 1PM in New York City. I live in Houston.
So, yes, I am traveling 1,630 miles to get my hair cut. And as ridiculous as it may sound, I have no qualms about it. We only get one shot at life and I can’t wait to board that flight at 5PM tomorrow afternoon.
If you want to see the result of her fabulous do, you’ll just have to pay her a visit on “In(side) The Loop.” You can find other highlights here, here, and here. Thanks again Courtney, it has been a pleasure!
