Sheila is having a really bad hair day. Her hair is fuzzy, and her brush is stuck in her messy hair. This is just one thing that is making her day feel crazy. Sheila’s wish is that no one else is having a bad hair day. However, she would like suggestions from anyone who knows how to make her day better.

When you have a bad hair day, it can mean that your hair doesn’t look good. Or it can also mean that you are just having a really bad day. Do you often have bad hair days, or do you feel beautiful and happy every day? How do you stop a bad hair day?

i know the feel because i am always having a bad hair day. Being a single mother of 2 kids and work is not an easy task and when you know you have to be perfect on both the side. Well i manage but still i get sick sometimes to manage budgets. And when i have to manage my budgets i go for using back to school coupons

Sometimes you have one, when looks like whatever you do is not quite successful. You follow your schedule but it doesn’t work. I think, maybe it’s a message to stop to think about your life and take it easy. Or to go to a hair stylist and relax if only the hair won’t get screwed up on that special day.

Last week, I had a bad hair day. I went to the bank to withdraw some money from my account, but it was blocked due to my bank was changing to a Islamic bank and I went back to my office .When I came to my office the lender demanded her money and I said no but she didn’t accept my descriptions and let me another chance for one day.
