{ " Nail Art - Week Two " }

Everyone have a good laugh right now, because I'm not going to be able to keep this at one nail design a week... It's going to have to be Part One, and Part Two, because I normally paint my nails twice every week.

Please don't mind the little heart on the side of my hand. I was doodling earlier, and it would not come off!

So I did my nails this evening, whilst multitasking, and I decided to do this kind of holiday look. 

It reminds me of the holidays at least! Purple is a celebratory color, isn't it? Eh, I don't know!

Polish used:

- COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant - Grapevine 310 (Purple)

- SHANY Cosmetics Nail Art Polish - 10 (Black)

- SHANY Cosmetics Nail Art Polish - 11 (Silver Glitter)

- Out the Door Top Coat

I applied two coats of the purple, and let them dry before using the black nail art polish (which has a striping brush) to draw small lines starting almost halfway down my nail, applying a very light amount of pressure to the tip. I varied the length of the lines, and made a couple of them a little bit curved. I let that layer dry for quite a while, before brushing over the black lines with the silver glitter. I put a little bit between the black lines as well. I really love how it came out. Before I put the glitter polish on, my nails looked incomplete. As soon as I added the glitter I knew they were finished! I slapped on my topcoat, and there we have it. 

Hopefully I'll be able to find a good base and top coat soon, so I can keep my manicure for more than one or two days. I have found that wearing rubber gloves while washing the dishes helps prevent chips a little bit. But, it's kind of a pain in the bum! 

Anyways, hope you all liked this week's manicure. :) There will probably be another one up before the end of the week! 

Enjoy your week everyone! Happy New Year! 

{ " nail art - week one " }

I ended up getting an awesome set of nail striper polishes from Shany Cosmetics, for Christmas.
It contains 24 colors, ranging from a neon pink, sparkles, reds, blues, pretty much everything in between. The colors are absolutely gorgeous, and I was so excited to use them.

So, today I decided to try out a simple nail design, and it actually came out pretty decent!
I am disappointed with my index finger on my left hand, because the middle line came out so thick, but like I said, the manicure came out pretty decent.

I was inspired by a manicure by MissJenFABULOUS on YouTube (third manicure in this video - link). She used two neon colors, and then did the black stripe down the middle, and three stripes on either side of the stripe. After I did my first nail I decided that I actually liked it with the lines on one side, rather than both.

I absolutely love the color combination that I chose. I didn't initially think I liked the colors together, and I decided to try it. I never would have put these colors together, but now I'm so glad I did!

The green polish is Orly "Cochella Dweller", and the coppery color (which is much more reddish toned than shown in the photo) is Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant "Timeless Rubies". The striping polish I used is by Shany Cosmetics and is number 17 from their Nail Art Set 1 - Beautiful Variety (but, of course any black or charcoal striping polish would work).

I painted one side of each nail with two coats of the green, then painted the other half with the copper color. I then simply painted a line down the middle with the striper, and lightly painted three shorter slightly angled lines on the side with the copper. I also varied the side of the nail I put each color on, but you could do the same on all nails.  I then finished out with my Out the Door fast drying top coat after a few minutes.

I am looking for a new basecoat, so I haven't been using one lately. Does anyone know of any decent basecoats? I was looking into the CND Stickey basecoat, but I can't figure out if you can buy it in any stores. I'm going to take a ride out to Sally Beauty soon, so I'm hoping I can find a decent basecoat there.

Well, that's all for now! I'm hoping to post a new nail art photo each week, but we'll see what happens. I also got some amazing nail stamping plates, so I've been playing around, and practicing with those as well.

Thanks for reading!
Live in the moment,

{ " Hair Growth Update " }

I wouldn't normally do an update in the middle of the month... but, I think this is needed.
My hair has grown an insane amount in the last two weeks. It's actually crazy. I don't think my hair has ever grown this quickly! I'm not quite sure what to owe the growth to, seeing as I've been doing a lot of hair treatments over the last two weeks. And I mean a lot. I have done everything from a coconut oil deep condition, to inversion. Yes, inversion.

Basically I had been putting coconut oil in my hair twice a week, then using a shampoo/conditioner 2-in-1 to wash it out in order to keep the moisture in my hair. Sadly that shampoo/conditioner had sulfates in it, so I won't be using it again, unless it's just to wash out coconut oil! Then, I started putting literally a drop of castor oil in with my conditioner every time I washed my hair (which is every other day, or every three days). You need to only literally put a drop of castor oil, or else it won't rinse out and you'll be left with nasty, oily, sticky hair. Not a fun time.

Then I came across something called the "inversion method". I was quite curious about this. I don't really know how to phrase this properly without offending anyone... but, all of the YouTube videos I watched on inversion were done by women of color. They all said the same thing, "1 Inch of Growth in 7 Days!". Right... who's going to believe that? Well a bunch of them showed their results with videos they uploaded 7 days later, and their hair looked to be 1 inch longer. Most of them even used a measuring tape to show you! They said to heat up some oil, any oil of your choice (I used olive oil and a little bit of cinnamon, which stimulates the scalp), and to massage it into your roots for a minute or two. Then you are to "invert" yourself for up to five minutes. You can only do it once a month, because your brain evidently gets used to it, and knows you're just tricking it into stimulating your scalp. So, everyone said to only do it once a month. I lost track of time a few days, so it was more like ten minutes... There are a lot of like... warnings on the inversion method. So look it up before you try it, read a lot about it, and do it exactly the way they tell you to. Being women of color they did not have to wash their hair afterward, because of their hair type. I on the other hand had to wash my hair out every day, because I couldn't just walk around with greasy hair all day.
I will admit I only did this for five days, and on two days when I was out late grocery shopping it was like torture to have to do my hair. I could have done it in the morning, but I prefer to wash my hair at night then style it in the morning. I think I skipped it on Friday on accident, because by the time I realized what time it was it was like 10:00PM. Then on Sunday I skipped also. So... I didn't do the full seven days, but I didn't believe it would work anyways, so I didn't actually care. Well, today is technically day seven of the inversion method. So it's measuring day.

Unfortunately I lost the photos I took last Monday, so we will have to do with the photo from December 1st a day after I got my hair cut in the first place.

My hair was just a tiny bit longer than chin length. Probably at the most a 1/2" below chin length. Now it's touching my shoulders in the back and on the sides. The front is layered quite a bit, so it looks shorter in places.

I'm pretty sure from these photos that I've gotten at least 3/4" growth. Now, this is over the course of two weeks. I'm not saying the inversion thing did this all. But, it's kind of crazy. The back/sides of my hair is touching my shoulders. Which it was not even close to doing a couple of weeks ago. Even the layers in the back are grown out to the point where I can stand them. I can finally put my hair into a decent ponytail, and all of it stays back except a couple of pieces in the front. It is actually at a length I like, and I didn't have to wait like two months. My bangs have grown out so much that I can't even style them properly anymore. So they kind of just look crazy all the time! I'm trying to keep myself from cutting them, because they're just so annoying! 

That is a lot of growth isn't it? I'm not just going crazy right? o.O Hair grows at an average of 1/2" a month, so I'm pretty sure about 3/4" in two weeks is pretty stinkin' awesome. 

Y'all are going to think I'm crazy. But, I just held a ruler up to where my hair was cut to two weeks ago, and measured to where it is now... and it was over an inch longer. So, I'm giving an inch of growth give or take. Maybe that inversion thing really did work... I suppose I'll be doing that again next month! Sometimes I wish I had my hair dyed so I could measure by how much my roots grew out. Hahaha. Joke. ;) 

I also started taking different vitamins and I have seen a huge difference in my nails, even though I have only been taking them for like four days. Which, maybe that is just wishful thinking, but I don't know. I can actually have them free of polish without them breaking or splitting today. 

So, yes. I just thought I'd do that little update, because it's pretty exciting. I'll probably do another update on February 1st, unless I see an insane amount of growth before then! 

This is going to be so much fun! Documenting my hair growth is actually really fun. It's making me more excited for the day I can be like, "I REACHED ARMPIT LENGTH; HALLELUJAH!" It will be fun sharing my hair growth experiences with you guys (whoever "you guys" may happen to be). Hopefully you learn some tips and tricks along with me, and have fun too!

{ " GARNIER Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream " }

So, about two weeks ago I purchased the Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing-Gel cream, because I was in need of a new moisturizer, and I was curious to try this. I had been using my Pond's Moisturizer for quite some time, and I loved it. 

This did not do the trick. 

First of all, for those of you who might not have gotten it from the title, it is a gel. There is nothing cream about it. It is a straight up gel. In fact, I almost spilled it the first time I opened it! 

It is apparently formulated for dry skin. I was pretty sure I had "normal" skin, but evidently I don't... I ended up with some dry patches on my skin after using this as my moisturizer for about a week. Now I have a nice dry patch between my eyebrows, and my nose started to look dry. Which is a bummer, seeing as I had "normal to dry" skin before. So, this definitely is not very moisturizing, which I was warned about before I bought this. It also left my skin feeling kind of stiff. Almost as if it was drying my skin out. Do you know that feeling after you wash your face? Before you put your moisturizer on again your face feels dry and kind of stiff. Well, that is how this moisturizer makes my skin feel. The first time I put it on it burned like... whoa. It scared me to be honest. I didn't expect it to burn. Like my face felt hot, and turned all red. Which was a little bit frightening. It did the same thing the second time I used it too. I'm not sure if it was just an ingredient that irritated my skin at first, or if it was just the new product. But, it was bad. 

About three days after using it I developed a bunch of pimples (that's a weird word) on my forehead, one on my cheek, and one beside my nose. That was frustrating, because not to "brag" I never ever breakout. I have clear skin for the most part - unless I use a product that has gluten in it, and might come in contact with my face. So, the fact that I suddenly broke out after using this product for a little while, led me to believe it was from this product. I continued to use it, but wiped my blemishes with an alcohol swab after putting on the moisturizer. The blemishes eventually went away, and haven't come back. I'm guessing it's just my skin's reaction to a new product. 

It smells clean. It isn't super perfumed, but it does have a scent to it. Maybe a little bit flowery? The scent goes away as soon as it sinks into the skin though.

This gel is very refreshing when first put onto the skin. It feels very cooling, and certainly wakes you up if you use it early in the morning! It feels really nice when you first smooth it onto your skin, but it takes a little bit to soak in completely. It didn't really leave a soft finish on my skin, smooth, but not soft. 

I won't purchase this product again, but I'll use it up, seeing as I can't return it. I would recommend this to someone with normal, or even combination skin, but I don't like it for my own skin. It certainly is not for dry skin, in my opinion. 

I'm pretty sure that was all over the place... but, hopefully you get the gist.

{ " Desert Essence Coconut Hair Defrizzer & Heat Protector " }

Desert Essence sent me their Coconut Defrizzer & Heat Protector spray to try, and I was so excited to finally receive it! It is gluten-free which is a plus for me, and well... you can't go wrong with coconut!

This is the third Desert Essence product I have tried, and well... I only just received it today.

But, I love it already! First thing I did was smell it. 

Of course. Because, if something doesn't smell good, it's not going in my hair. 

It smells amazing. Just like coconut. It actually smells almost identical to a different coconut based hair product I have. I love the smell, so that wasn't a problem. 

It is 100% Vegan, Wheat, Gluten, and Silicone free. I'm also very excited that it is silicone free, because silicone just makes your hair feel healthy and soft, but just sits on the outside of the hair shaft. 

You can use it on dry hair, or wet hair. I will probably end up spraying it into my wet hair each time I wash my hair, because it is a heat protector too. But, just being curious I sprayed it on my dry hair. My hair was super staticky (#finehairproblems) the first thing I noticed was that it immediately took away the static! I sprayed a small amount in, and my hair felt like silk, and was suddenly no longer sticking to my face. It was kind of amazing to be honest. I had been dealing with staticky (I'm now aware that that evidently is not a real word...) hair all day, so the fact that this tamed it was awesome. I have issues with dry, and staticky hair in the winter, because of my hair being so fine. I'm probably going to have to stop using my volumizing shampoo and conditioner, because it won't weigh my hair down as much as it needs to in the winter. 

Anyways, back to the actual product. It didn't make my hair oily, greasy, or weighed down feeling. It just made it feel so beautiful. Do you ever get that when you feel your hair, and it just feels beautiful? Well, that's what my hair felt like after using this spray. It just felt amazing. It even looks more silky! 

So far I love this, even though I've only used it once, I love it. 

I can't wait to use it further, and give a more in-depth review on it!

Keep your eyes peeled for a review! 

Thanks for reading! 

{ " Violet VoxBox " }

So, I received my Violet VoxBox in the mail last week.
I waited so long to post this, because I wanted to have some time to try out the products, before finalizing my review on them.

I was very excited to get the box, because of the description that was sent to me.

So, the box was purple. 

As soon as I saw this bright purple box sitting on the mailbox I ran down the driveway to retrieve it. Probably the most exciting moment in my life for a long time. I opened it up, and this is exactly what I saw. I didn't remove anything from the box before taking this picture.

I apologize for not turning over the SoyJoy bar... I didn't even think of that at the time. 

So, the products were in there, with a little note card that listed off all of the products, description, and their prices. 

According to the little card my box is worth over $25.00, which is pretty cool! 

So, let's start this "review" shall we? 

1) Sally Hansen Triple Shine Nail Polish - Retail Price: $4.99 - Color: Flamed Out - Description: New Triple Shine Nail Color! Daily defense from water and wear. Get ready for the shiniest nails ever! Water to workout, day in and day out, nothing will dull these nails. Available in 30 shades.

Product Review: I hadn't tried this nail polish before, but I had been tempted to grab it the few times I saw it at CVS, or Ulta. Let me just say... I'm so glad I didn't. "Shiniest ever"? No way. I applied two coats of this onto clean dry nails, and it was not shiny. So, then I read somewhere that you had to apply three coats. So, I added another. Shiny yet? Uhmm... Nope. I don't know, maybe I need the top coat to with it. The color is gorgeous, and it's completely opaque in two coats, which is nice. The wear time is not good, it chipped the next day, and I ended up removing it. I would not recommend this polish to anyone, and I will definitely not pay $4.99 for a bottle. I would look into trying the top coat though, maybe that will shine things up. I'll definitely wear this polish, but I'll be putting a top coat over it! I don't know, maybe my nails just aren't shine worthy. 

2) Goody Athletique Headbands - Retail Price: $6.00 - Description: Goody Athletique provides hold and comfort so you can be physically active and strong in body and mind. 

Product Review: I don't "work out" so... I didn't use this headband for exercizing or anything like that. I actually used it to keep my hair back to wash my face. I'm not sure how to review a headband... Other than saying it fit my head well, and didn't slip or slide. It's quite wide, and kept all of my hair back away from my face. The fabric is soft, and I love the bright colors! 

3) SOYJOY - Retail Price: $0.99 - Description: SOYJOY is an all-natural gluten free snack bar made with non-GMO soybeans and real fruit pieces. Between 130-140 calories, SOYJOY is a great on-the-go snack or it can be enjoyed warm (unwrap and microwave for 8-10 seconds for a "fresh -baked" experience!) with coffee or tea.

Product Review: Well here we go again... now do you review a snack bar? First of all, I received the banana bar... and we know I have a hatred for anything banana. Of course that put me off immediately. I'll be honest, as soon as I opened the wrapper I got this huge whiff of banana. I took a *nibble* literally, and gave the rest to my mother, who enjoyed it. Again, how do you review a snack bar? It's all personal preference. It's great that it is gluten-free though, so if I had liked banana, I totally could have eaten it! These would definitely be worth buying for a little snack on the go, and I love the idea of heating them up in the microwave, absolutely genius! I might try the different flavors a different time, just to see how I really like them.

The last product was a "surprise" product. Everyone either got a QuikStyle brush, a dry shampoo, or a clay mask. I obviously ended up with the brush. 

4) Goody QuikStyle - Retail Price: $12.99 - Description: Goody QuikStyle lets you go from wet to beautifully styled hair faster than ever! Super absorbent microfiber bristles remove water as you style. It's like a towel and brush all in one. 

Product Review: I was very excited to get this brush in my box, especially considering the price. I'm glad I didn't buy it all of those times I was tempted to. Basically this is a hairbrush with microfiber bristles in it. It's supposed to help with removing extra water after your hair has been washes, thus giving less dry time. So, the first time I used it I used it after having my hair up in a towel for like a minute. It didn't seem to do much at all, and the bristles were barely wet. Now, I have short, fine hair, so I'm not sure if that could have been the issue... or what. Then I used it again, and used it on wet hair straight out of the shower. First of all, there was a ton of hair in the brush itself. Normally I comb my hair out of the shower, and there's no fall out. This brush evidently promoted fall out. I didn't think it helped to dry my hair in any way. My mom used it, and she said normally when she brushes her hair the water "flicks" down her back, but using this brush she didn't have that happen. So, my mom loves it! Once again, personal preference is seen here too. I wouldn't ever spend $12.99 on this brush, and I wouldn't advise that anyone does. It's not worth it when you can throw your hair up in a towel for like 5 minutes and have it half way dry, at least I can with what little hair I have. ;) It was great to be able to try the product though, and now my mom uses it every time she showers!

It was fun to be able to review products that I was sent, and I would like to do it again!

{ " Jordana Twist and Shine Balm Stains " }

I had heard about the Jordana Twist and Shine Moisturizing Balm Stains for quite some time on YouTube. They were "all the rage" for a while, and just about everyone was raving about them. They evidently are a great dupe for Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains.

I only own one of Revlon's JBKBS, and it's mediocre. I haven't been tempted to buy another. Their color range isn't the best, but then again, it does vary from nudes to reds, with a purple in there somewhere. I just don't care for most of their colors. The price of the JBSKS runs anywhere from 6.99 and up. Which is crazy for a "balm" to me. Yes, they have pigment, but I still don't think it's worth the price.

The Jordana Twist and Shine Stains are 2.99 at Walgreens, and they often have BOGO sales on Jordana cosmetics.

I own three colors, one of which I just picked up yesterday:

Swatches left to right:
06 cranberry crush; 02 sweet pink; 05 honey love
Packaging front to back:
05 honey love; 06 cranberry crush; 02 sweet pink

06 cranberry crush is a classic deep cranberry color. It is one of my favorite lip colors to wear, and I will definitely be replacing it once it is finished up. It's a very wearable "red", and I just absolutely love it. It is a gorgeous fall and winter color, but I'm sure I will wear it all year round. 02 sweet pink is your basic bright, hot pink. It is much brighter than the packaging looks, and is super opaque, so I usually wear it under a gloss. I'm pretty sure it is a cool toned pink, and I prefer it for summer and spring weather. 05 honey love is a classing mauve. It is a pinky, brown toned mauve. Unfortunately the swatch is showing up super brown, but is not actually that brown. I absolutely love this color, it's definitely warm toned, and a perfect everyday lip. I can't actually find any good swatches online, but I'll post one once I find one.

These "balm stains" are extremely opaque. Each swatch I have up there is two light passes over my skin. They apply like a dream, and the pointed "crayon" like tip help with easy application. After using them for a while the tip wears down, and it's just more like a flat crayon. Even still they apply wonderfully, and perfectly smooth. As far as the moisturizing aspect of them, I don't find them to be drying, but they also don't really moisturize my lips. They are definitely more moisturizing than any other stain you might try, but they won't replace my Lypsyl anytime soon.

They do stain the lips a bit. I have noticed with 06 cranberry crush that my lips are normally stained red afterward, but that often happens with dark lip colors anyways. The lasting power is supposed to be quite a while, but I don't think they last too long. Maybe two hours without eating or drinking? If you eat or drink the shine is gone, and you're left with a little bit of a stain, but nothing too opaque.

They don't really have a strong scent if any. I have heard people say they smell amazing, but to me they kind of just smell like those candy necklaces my nana used to bring us when we were little. Or maybe even Smarties. But, don't worry about a scent, because it's barely noticeable, and goes away immediately when applied to the lips.

The packaging looks almost identical to Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. Except for the little silver twisty thing at the bottom, they are almost exactly the same. I quite like the packaging, I think it's adorable, and chic. I will give a word of warning, the colors on the tube aren't exactly like the colors you get when you put the product on your lips. Like 02 sweet pink was much brighter when I actually put it on my lips, compared to the case.

Quite frankly I can't find any "cons" with this product.
For the price, and the quality of the product I just think they're great!
I would most definitely recommend these to a friend.

As far as I know you can only find these at Walgreens right now, or on the Jordana website.

{ " Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Polish - Under Your Spell " }

Happy December everyone!


I have probably six of the Wet n Wild Megalast nail polishes, and I absolutely love them.
So last week when I was in CVS I spied a gorgeous duo-chrome burgundy red color. I was super excited about it, because it is a gorgeous color for fall and winter.

Let me start off by saying I love the brushes on these polishes. I can't even stress that enough. The brushes are absolutely wonderful. I love how I can go over my nail in one even sweep, and not have to worry about it building up from having to go over it several times.

I have always loved the Megalast polishes because of their opacity, and gorgeous colors. They don't have too many colors, but the color range they have is decent.

This picture makes this polish look extremely brown, but in the bottle it looks more on the deep red side. 

I applied the first coat and it came off super light, and a little streaky. It's not opaque in the least on the first coat. That could have been the fact that I apply my nail polish in very thin coats, but I think it's just the polish. The other Megalast polishes I have tried have been opaque in even the first coat. 

Here is pictures of the first coat, then the second coat. 

As you can see, the first coat is like an olive green, and brown. I was super nervous when I saw that color... I was totally put off, and was even tempted to take the polish off. The second coat then revealed the real color, which is indeed a reddish, burgundy, brown. I am quite pleased with the color, though the second coat is still streaky in some places. I could probably pull off a third coat, but I didn't feel like waiting for it to dry. 

Overall I like this polish, it's not amazing, but it's pretty. I'll probably pair it with some gold glitter, or even red glitter sometime. 

I'll be reviewing another polish from Wet n Wild, from the Fergie line soon, so look out for that! 

Enjoy the little things!

{ " Hair Growth - Two Months " }

Well... this month wasn't exactly about the growth. It was more along the lines of the next step to growing my hair out. I quite frankly got sick of the angled bob, and with the fact that I could curl the front, and braid the front, and la-dee-da the front, but I couldn't do anything to the back. That was the most frustrating thing to me. I thought growing out the back to my collar bones, then cutting the front would be a good idea. Pssh, no. Did I really think I was going to last two or three more months, and then end up having a weird looking grown out angled bob? I did think I was. But, I thought wrong.

I headed over to SmartStyle in Walmart (like always now), and decided on a shampoo, cut and blowout. I had a different stylist this time, and he was awesome. He was really (yes, I'm going to use the word sweet, no, I don't have a "crush" on him now) sweet, and totally sociable. I brought along this picture:

I knew my hair was going to be quite a bit shorter than her hair, because of where the shortest part in the back started. So, basically he evened out the ends of my hair, so it's all one length. I think that took about three or even four inches off of the front of my hair. He then dusted the back, and took off about a 1/2 inch or less. 

He layered it like crazy. I think my hair looks similar to this photo from the side... but, the back is kind of insanity. I really hated the back at first, to the point where I was actually angry about it. I then reminded myself that hair grows, and before I know it it will be just about back to collar bone length! I don't mind the length in the back (as he took barely anything off). The layers though! Oh my word. I have never had so many layers in my hair. After he blowdried it (first of all it looked very very big) I almost cried when I saw the back. It looked like he just cut one straight layer into the back. One very short straight layer. I feel like he went a little more intense with the layers than in the picture above. They're just super chunky layers I suppose. They're like intensified layers from my angle I had before. This was my first "bad" salon experience, and it doesn't even look bad. It's just not what I wanted. I am kind of getting used to the layers now, and I like how they add lift at the crown, and add a lot of texture to my normally limp, fine hair. I've been playing around with my hair wax today too, and I like the kind of "messy" look it gives. Layers seem to grow out in a month anyways. I think as soon as they're not as like "BAM LAYERS" I'll be okay. 

One of the girls at the salon said the cut looks great with my profile... which is pretty cool seeing as I couldn't figure out if I liked it or not. At the time I was kind of dying inside, mostly because of the huge hair, and the "bang" layers in the back. 

I apologize in advance about the horrible quality of the photos... I was having some issues. 

My mirror is not the best mirror to take photos in, because of the positioning of my light in my room.

So let's attempt to make them "Instagramish" ;) 

See that huge chunk of layers on the right side in the back? It's aggravating me. Also, my head is tilted in the photo on the right, don't worry the hair isn't uneven! Unfortunately I did notice that on the side of my head without my bangs, the front is much shorter than the back. So he kind of screwed that up, which is a bummer. Thankfully it's not super noticeable, and I'm probably the only one who can see it. It's just a bummer. Again, I was looking for a cut with some soft layers that got shorter toward the back, not the cut that I got. I'll deal with it though, and definitely not go back to him.

Anyways, I'm excited to play with quite short hair again as it's growing out. As I look back it will be grown out before I know it! I'm going to be going with a "messy" or... textured look for quite a while, because once my hair is longer and the layers are grown out it's back to Limp Town for me. ;)

So yeahh. 

There is my incredibly long update!

Step two is complete! 

Coco Chanel once said: 

Well. 

Life changing... here I come!

Here goes nothin'.
