The Chop!

You all probably don't know this - but for quite some time now I have been growing out my hair to donate it to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Program.

I chopped off 8 inches of my lovely brunette tresses yesterday!


It was very difficult for me to find a before shot - the past few months I've just been wearing my hair in a ponytail because it was ALWAYS in my way. I even rolled it up in the car window a few times! (OUCH!!!!) p.s. Isn't my boyfriend the cutest?!


And here is my After! I am so happy with this cute little modified bob! This picture was taken last night at the last meeting of my Graphic Design class - a bittersweet and fun last meeting. Kristin, on the right, has a funny little blog that you all might enjoy - Ironically called I Hate Everyone. (She really doesn't - I promise - It's just little rants about those things in life that bug us all!) You can click on the name of Kristin's Blog above or right HERE to go there.

Why the Beautiful Lengths Program you ask?

Well, the first time I donated my hair a few years back I was doing all sorts of research on the organizations that collect hair. I found a lot of sketchy stuff regarding Locks of Love - and - as hard as I tried I couldn't find a negative bit about Beautiful Lengths.

Also, the minimum amount for hair donation is 8" --- much less than most other organizations.

With beautiful lengths the hair goes to make wigs for women who are undergoing chemotherapy... If my hair can give a woman suffering from cancer more confidence, then I don't see how I can go wrong giving to this wonderful program.

Now that I'm all cute in a spring bob it's time to start growing again... You can only participate when you are under 5% gray - not that I intend to go gray anytime soon - but my times to do this will be limited to 3 or 4 more.

I was creating display cards for my headbands a few days ago - they are super neat and I will be posting pictures later.

Also - Computer is fixed! Woot! Only took $95 ... but hey - they fixed it all and we should be up and running for a good long time!

I am very excited to go out to dinner with some of our friends tonight! Hope you get to do something fun too!
