Chop Chop!!!

I did it! I cut it all off!!! Ok actually AMANDA THE GREAT cut it all off! She is the best hair dresser EVER! Isn't this cut SO CUTE! My favorite part is the back!


So I was going to write this whole in depth post on my feelings about myself and why I chose to cut my hair... yadda yadda yadda. But I am just not feeling it right now. Mostly because it is past midnight and I am sleepy. So lucky you don't have to read a gigantic post! YAY!

The long and the short of it is (haha... get it... long and short... like my hair.. tee hee) I loved my hair longer, but I NEVER DID IT! I always wondered why ladies hair got shorter with their age. I guess I know now! I have so much to do in my life right now and my hair just isn't one of them. I stay at home most of the time with no one around to see it... so why spend an hour blow drying, curling, straitening, gelling, and fighting my hair. I do it on Sunday and that is about it. In fact one day I decided to go a little crazy and do it on a regular week day. Amalyssa looked at me and asked "Is it Church day today?" Yeah.... it was bad. I have noticed that lately I really hate myself. I will spare you the details... but I sit and mope most of the day about what a lazy slouch I am. Today I decided to make a change. I told Amanda that my hair couldn't take any more than 20 min TOPS start to finish. I am making myself a promise to do my hair and makeup first thing in the morning EVERYDAY! If I feel better on the outside I think it will improve a great deal on the inside. After a great deal of discussion we decided on this cut. That is one of the things I love MOST about having Amanda cut my hair!

REASONS TO HAVE AMANDA CUT YOUR HAIR-

1. She is totally AMAZING at cutting hair! This girl has some serious talent!

2. She will TAKE TIME and TALK with you about what you want in a hair cut

3. She will tell you straight up if she thinks the cut/color you have chosen would be a bad fit for your face or preferences.

4. She will do a complete second cut if she gets finished and you aren't happy

5. She knows what will look great on EVERYBODY and will work well with your needs

6. She just plain ROCKS at doing hair

7. As she styles your new cut she takes the time to TEACH YOU how to do it! She tells you products and their pluses and minuses, she gives great tips on problem areas or what might take some practice, she shows you just what to do when you get home to make it look like you just walked out of the salon every day!

8. Have I told you how totally ADORABLE her 'studio' is. She cuts hair in her living room and has it dolled out!!

9. Need a new style? I can hook you up with the most AMAZING HAIR DRESSER EVER!!!

10. Oh.. and did I tell you that her prices are ridiculously reasonable!???


Ok- enough about Amanda... back to me! lol. As a photographer taking pictures of yourself can be a highly frustrating task! I have to thank my dear Amalyssa who was more than happy to help me out! Isn't she going to be a great photographer some day!!??



Did I mention that she will also be a fashion designer and a super model!?? The other day she comes out of her room in this 'new' ensemble. She tells me that she has to have the dog because it makes her look rich... "all rich people have cute dogs mom." Then she says "Do you want to take a picture of me?" I just told her where to stand, the rest of this is all her! Even the hat tip was a carefully chosen effect by my lovely little girl. She is such a diva! lol

Well I hope you enjoyed the picts and my 'short' ramblings (haha yeah right... I just get going and can't stop). Tomorow I will be getting up, exercizing and then doing my adorable new hair before tackling a productive day. I am even going to refrain from turning the computer on!!! (until at least noon! lol)
