Hair Evolution

-
Since I need a "pick me up" post - I decided to make fun of myself and do a quick post on the evolution of my hair. I love to talk hair! I had my hair done yesterday and it got me thinking what will be my next new do?



Elementary, 1986: Perm. Here I am with my baby brother Scott, who just returned from his mission. I'm 11 years old. Notice the butterfly clips in my hair.


Jr. High: My 8th grade dance picture. My mom made this dress for me in my favorite color. Notice the "puff sleeves". Can you tell I was a huge Anne of Green Gables fan?


High School: long hair, curled at ends, no bangs, a little "poof" in the front


Single Adult - long hair w/ bangs to the side


Mom: 2001 - short w/ bangs pinned w/ a bobby pin. This is cutie pie, Dylan.


2002 - Short and choppy cut with a flip and criss-crossed part


2003 -Blonde


2004 - A-line w/ bangs and choppy highlights


2005 - Still a-line w/ bangs but a more natural highlight. (Here's when my flower hair clip obsession started.)


2006 - Bangs and shooting for long hair


2007 - Finally long hair for pony tails!



Present: long, natural highlights and low lights for a darker look, layers with very thin ends to make styling easier.

Your turn! If you post your hair evolution - be sure to comment so I can check it out!

Oh the puff sleeves! I can tell you have always been in style! I so remember all those times and I think we shared a lot of the same hair styles.
Your hair looks FAB!

Yeah, it's not right. You were cute even in the 80s and in high school. ABSOLUTELY not fair.

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
