The Year of Discontinued Happiness

So I have been hit by another blow today. For some reason the Universe is slowly discontinuing all of the things that bring me joy. A few months ago it started with the grilled veggie burrito at Qdoba. Today, it has spread to my favorite elastic no-snag hair ties.

I am in shambles. Why is this happening to me?! How am I to go on? These hair ties literally helped me keep it together throughout the years. When my hair was out of control, they tightly bound my locks into a bouncy and buoyant ponytail - without over-stretching or snagging. I have never been able to find another hair tie that can even compare to the perfection of the Sephora Snag-Free Hair Elastics. And now they're gone. Dead to me forever at the very moment that I need them the most. (I am down to two.)

I searched the internet high and low and now my precious hair-holders are nearly 5x the cost that I once paid. I will not lie, I briefly considered paying $17 (shipping included) for a pack of 8 ties on amazon.com. I am that desperate. But, when it came down to it, I could not justify that cost for a tiny ring of elastic (even if it is the best tie in the world..). 

Had I known that my preciouses would soon cease to exist, I would have been more cautious with them. Would have treated them more gently. And definitely would have stocked up like a doomsday prepper. But, I did not know. So now I am left to mourn and continue on in a world of crappy hair ties that break, stretch, and pull. Sephora, if you have a heart, please bring back your Snag-Free Hair Elastics. I am so lost without them. 


(If anyone finds these in the store, I will buy them from you - shipping and gratuity included. I am 110% serious.) 


I will forever be missing you. Xoxo, Dani
