The New Leaf girls are trying to turn over a new leaf. Bad pun but it's true.

What's going on in this picture? And where is New Leaf Hair Studio?

It's the New Leaf girls getting ready for summer at Colt State Park, that's what!

We know this blog is a bit out of context but we thought it might be fun to shake up the blog a bit...Why not expose ourselves to New Leaf-ers who might want to know what we are up to outside the studio?

Working in a salon, we are always focused on making people look beautiful. It feels good to look good, right? What better way to look and feel good than through abuse? Kidding, totally kidding. Sort of.

We are participating in Shaun Pacheco's 'Fitness Challenge...Shaun just opened a fantastic fitness facility, Generations Fitness, in Somerset, MA. It offers all sorts of classes--Beach Run, Beach Pump, Beach Yoga. If the word 'beach' is used to trick people into excercising, it worked. We're in. Oh, there is this one class that's called Total Body SHRED. Scary, but it sure sounds like we'd be ready for bathing suit season after that class.

Here is Shaun...

Shaun also happens to be married to our fab front desk staffer, Michelle.

Being married to a personal trainer has its perks, but I bet there are some not-so-perky things like... devouring a pint of Ben and Jerry's must be pretty HIGH on the 'self-loathing shame' scale when you glance up to see your fantastically fit hubby. Luckily, Shaun is one the nicest, most positive guys we have ever met.

We are 7 days in, meeting up in Colt State Park a few times a week while Shaun whips us into shape. And we must admit, it's FUN. No, we swear. It almost doesn't feel like exercise....until climbing a set of stairs the following day... Shaun is trying to teach us how to eat. That could take some work but we'll keep you posted;-)

Our goal? Get healthy. Oh, and maybe not hiding under a beach blanket this summer. Vain, we know, but who are we kidding here?

Stay tuned for more of New Leaf's antics...
