A Firm Belief & New Hair

What do you think of my new hair cut?

I gotta say it's my most favorite yet...and now it's also bright red....yay!

I am not usually one to spend much money on my hair

I'd usually rather be buying pencil crayons!

but lately I feel the need to splurge on myself, so every 6 months I've been treating myself

to a salon visit, to cruelty-free dye jobs & to the wonderful head massages they offer.

 

I am a firm believer in being kind to oneself...

life is hard, people can be very mean...so you must be kind and nice to yourself.

Don't you think?

 

 

So when I feel the push and pull and nagging sensations of stress and muckiness,

I will often go out and treat myself to something, it doesn't have to be big,

for me it's sometimes a new eyeliner, or a pretty new bra, or nice new undies,

or a pricey super big coffee from Starbucks (cause we finally got one here in town!).

Sometimes it's an hour of rummaging through Value Village for new blouses ...

Sometimes a new yoga dvd or a new plant for the house.

 

Whatever it is, big or small, whatever makes you feel better,

whatever picks your spirits up, DO IT!

and don't feel bad about it.

Treat yourself.

Be good to yourself

cause we're worth it and much much more.

I needed a change.

A big change.

My head needed to feel different.

 

So I went from this long heavy down to my waist when wet hair-do

 

 

To this...

  

 

Light, bright & funky.

I LOVE it.

Ahhhh...change is good.

 And the salon I go to uses Davines products & dyes...so it was a cruelty-free hair-do as well, YAY.

 

 

Locks Of Love

So last week I chopped off my long hair...

Into this cool shorter do (I've not had short hair for years & I am so loving it)...

Than I donated/sent my cut off locks to  'Locks Of Love', which is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss, such as those suffering through cancer treatment.
