My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service Amerisleep Mattress Reviews We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f
8/2/20: I've updated this post (from several years ago - no COVID haircuts for me) with a funny haircut story. Enjoy!
You know those girls who obsess over their hair and have a standing appointment with the salon every 6 weeks? That's not me. I've always been the type of girl who gets her hair cut just once or twice a year - whenever Great Clips or Super Cuts sends out a $4.99 haircut coupon.
When Groupon offered 50% off at a top-rated salon, I decided to splurge. The deal included highlights and a glamorous cut. I'd only had experience with adding my own highlights at home, not quite successfully, and was in over my head.
Haircut Story
Haircut story from a girl who has no idea what to do at the salon.
Because these things always seem to happen to me, I have a silly haircut story from the salon.
I wish I'd thought to bring my camera with me. When my hair was being highlighted and was crimped into dozens of foil pieces, I looked like I could have been the baby of the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.
I suppose them having a baby together would overshadow my snazzy new haircut.

About those dozens of foil pieces, the ones for my highlights...a few of them were leaking!
I don't know the specifics of hair dying, but I was fairly certain that liquid should not be oozing out of the foil and running all over the smock the stylist had placed on me. (Thank goodness for the smock!)
This should be the part of the story where I alerted my stylist, and I wanted to, but I have too much anxiety. After all, I don't know the specifics of hair dying. I couldn't risk calling out to the stylist over something that might be no big deal, so I just sat there, listening to the slow drip, drip, drip of the highlighting liquid run from my smock to the floor and freaking the f*** out, albeit only inside my mind.
You can probably guess the end of this story. When the stylist returned to check on me, she was absolutely SHOCKED that I hadn't said anything.
"Oh. I hadn't noticed," I politely fibbed.
Haircut Photos
Despite my haircut story faux pas, I love my new haircut!
If I had any Photoshop skills, I could change this background. You just can't beat the lighting in my closet.
Shortly after my kicky summer do, the latest issue of Redbook was released. Who else sees the haircut resemblance? You copied my cool style, Katherine Heigl.
