Changes



The one regret I have about waiting to get a blog until now, is that I didn't blog about my hair cut that I got in March. I was letting my hair grow really long, and after a while it was just so boring. Long hair is so ordinary. Everyone has it. I wanted a change. A dramatic change. I called a hair stylist and set up an appointment. I told everyone what I was doing and they all told me that I was crazy. Even my hairstylist was unsure - that made me a little unsure, but I did it anyway. I knew it was just hair and would grow back.
I also went to my all natural color. I wasn't a fake blond, but I get highlights every six months to keep a more light blond feel. I told my stylist that I wanted to go to the color of my eyebrows. She did and added in a little red just for an extra umph. That faded really fast, but I'm still happy with my brunette color.
My next encounter with people it was just compliments. The other stylists who saw me before and after loved the change, and so did I. Friends told me I resembled Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn, Mia Farrow, and a random '60s actress. That feedback was so encouraging. I might just have short hair for the rest of my life.
The only moment I regretted my hair cut was at senior prom when I had to figure out how to dress up my hair. That was hard, but oh well, it was just one day.

Prologue

My entire family has started a blog. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and join the blogging community. My blog will cover my travels around Europe, as I'll recently be moving there. Mostly, it will be my random thoughts that inspire me. I may also include lots of art and quotes. Those two things are incredibly important to me.
