I am still in process of allowing my hair to grow. I haven’t had so much as a trim since January. I really want to get a shape-up (and my bangs redone, thanks to the inspiration below), but I fear that several months of growth will go straight down the tubes if I do.
So I’ll keep growing, and eventually fit a trim in there, so I can some do things like this:
It’s gonna be a long time before I can do these things and have it look like the above, but at least I’m getting there…slowly…
Just read an article in Elle (July 2010 issue) about how bangs can automatically give girls a rockstar/badass/tough chick edge, and I couldn’t agree more. There is something about bangs (depending on how well they are cut and styled) that add a cool factor to any lady’s face.
Above are just a few of my favorites. I know, they all sort of look the same. But I adore them anyways. My sister has them right now, and she looks super cool (if you don’t believe me, see below).
Extremely hot weather this round. I wasn’t feeling too hot, but I still came out relaxed (and, as always, sad for it to be over).
I am not ready for a 6 day work week. However, I have Monday off for the 4th of July. I have lots of swimming and eating to do come the weekend. And also, Eclipse comes out! I’ve convinced my friends to go on Friday (I say convinced, but they obviously want to see it ;) ). So happy. It’s good to have things to look forward to. But here’s hoping the rest of the week is fun and easy to get through.
My little sis is jetting off to Florida in a couple of hours. She’ll be doing all sorts of fun things (like the beach and, more importantly, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter) and I’ll still be at home working.
Regardless, she’ll be back next week and I got to spend this entire week with her. Usually, I’m excited for the weekend. And trust me, I couldn’t be happier that it is the weekend or that I’m having such a good one. But this week was great, all thanks to her.
Having a sister is an extremely lucky thing, especially since we are a mere 2 years apart. We’ve always been close, but college did separate us for a bit. The most important thing is, she truly is my best friend.
I hope you have a safe trip, Maria! Thanks for spending time with me, dying my hair, and hanging out with my friends. You are the best.
I’ve been wanting to dye my hair for a while now. I just never do it. (It’s hard for me to make changes, even if I want to so bad and it’s such a simple and fixable thing.) I mean, I did in April, but it proved to be pretty much ineffective. I didn’t lose hope though. I bought another dye and it sat in my bathroom until last night…
A big thanks to my sister, who did the job for me. You’re the best, always!
I’ve been a fan of Sia for a few years now. Her latest album We Are Born just came out, and it’s chock full of fun beats and her amazing voice. Every one of her records is full of fun and powerful music and she can do so much with her voice. I’ve danced to some of her songs and teared up at others.
I love that she doesn’t take herself too seriously and yet she puts so much emotion to every one of her songs. It’s genuine.
It’s hard to pick one song from this series to show. I suggest you check them all out, and any others you can find.
I know a lot of people love this song. My sister played it for me a while back, but it didn’t sink in as much as when I was sitting on the porch on Sunday, drinking beers with my sister and dad, and really in love with life. It’s a perfect summer song. And this video is what I’d like my life to look like all the time…
I love when a song or video or picture or movie touched me enough to bring me to tears. Though it’s happened quite a few times, it’s still a rare occasion. It always reminds me of how great the world (and life) can truly be.
