Urban Mattress, Next Day Blinds, and Circe for Aveda

We did today what I wanted to do yesterday - but put it off because of the last scheduled medical test. Thank goodness that is over. We are on the lookout for a new mattress so I diligently read about everything mattress and all signs pointed to Urban Mattress in Vienna, Virginia. The reviews of this place were astonishingly terrific, so we headed out there after our usual brunch in McLean. After speaking with two very laid back salesmen, we left with a quote and plan to purchase once we are sure the dimensions fit with our plan. Then we headed to Next Day Blinds to begin gathering some ideas about window treatments for our studio apartment. We are looking for both aesthetics and function - to block out the light when needed - but also to provide a decorative element to six very large windows. We already have honeycomb shades that blend in to the walls, but the room could use some sprucing up. The additional window treatments could also help keep the cold out during winter months. The young lady who helped us was very helpful and once we know more, we'll be making contact. Final stop was at Circe, a beauty salon that sells Aveda products. I just can't switch to anything else for shampoo after thirty years of Aveda - even though I love my hairdresser here. I feel like we got a lot accomplished today, but really nothing was done. Let's hope all the groundwork makes the next steps easier. That's not always the case when you live in a city like this. But it felt more like Milwaukee than DC today. Everyone was really nice and helpful!
