Are you sitting down? Yes? Okay, good.
You are looking at the newest face of Pantene‘s Aqua Light campaign.
(Oh, there goes the heart-beating thing again.)
Starting today, if you live in North America, you might just be seeing me on your television (35+ networks!) for the next few months.
(Dying.)
I’ve had 5 months to prepare for this, and yet, I’m still speechless. Can you believe this? I can’t believe this.
The month of March is going to be crazy for me, with lots of super cool things planned with the Pantene team, including taking over Pantene’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and a series of Hair Thursday posts about my experience shooting a national hair commercial. (Holy crap, it was insane, and I promise to not spare a detail.)
In the meantime, here’s the commercial.
(This is the spot that is playing in Canada, and there is a another spot playing in America as well.)
If you need me today, I’ll be staring at the television set hoping to catch a glimpse of some swishing action.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
Thank you SO much, everyone!! It’s like a perma-smile situation over here!
I hardly ever comment but wanted to add my congratulations! Very well deserved.
So many congratulations to you!

Yay! Congratulations! It’s so nice to see a “real” person in a commercial and know that it is, actually, a “real” person and not a model.
OMG, I’m dying right along with you. That just made my day. Fantastic job!

This makes me so happy.
This is so awesome, congratulations! Now please tell us what they did to get your hair so shiny – no offense to Pantene, but I refuse to believe that’s just the result of shampoo!
Girl, get your hair swishing on! How fabulous!
That’s awesome! Congrats!!

Oh my WORD! That is so exciting. Just watched it and your hair is amazing, as always.
I remember, years ago, I mentioned your blog to my sister, who hadn’t heard of it, and my mom, who was in the room, said “You have to look at it. That woman has the most gorgeous hair I’ve ever seen in my life.”

You look beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!!
That’s great!
I’v always liked your site because I feel you give honest reviews, yet I don’t seem to remember you mentioning this particular shampoo/conditioner before. Is this a new favorite?
So awesome! Is this the start of a new career =)
I’m a day late, but this is so super fantastic! Congrats, Sarah!
Also…do you really like the shampoo? I’m going through an I-hate-all-shampoos-I-own (and am sick of spending money on them) phase so please do tell!

This is SO exciting. I saw the commercial earlier this week while I was feeding an almost-asleep Henry and woke him up with my squeal when I saw you!
You got to be Princess for a month! Congratulations! Now let the residuals roll in!
Just now catching up on my blog-reading, but wanted to say again: SO very thrilled for you, babe. So much awesomeness abounding.

I am smiling too after that spot. I love the hair spin.
When I was super young I was in love with hair commercials. I would beg my mom to buy certain shampoos because I thought by applying it my hair would look like the model’s. That meant that one day around 6 years old I begged for ‘Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific’ because I thought it would make my hair curly. Then my mom had to explain advertising to me. It kind of burst my bubble, but I still find a thrill in the magic of it all.
