New Hair!

So, I got a new haircut on Saturday! I wanted to get something that would be different, but easy to manage and cute as well, of course. I have had the same hairstyle for a while now, which is not normal for me since I loooove to get haircuts and try new things.

I have had my hair just about every way but... with bangs! Well, that is not entirely true; I had bangs in elementary school. The radar full-on 90's bangs thing going on. My mom was sooo mad when I asked her if I could grow my hair out in 5th grade.  My dad finally convinced her to let me! So I had one length hair for a while, then I got a pixie cut in high school, which I loved, but Mom didn't. So, to continue in the trend of tension between mother and daughter for haircuts, my mother was mad when I told her I wanted to get bangs! Wow, make up your mind, eh?!She actually said, " bangs are a pain in the A$$ to grow out!" with no money symbols by the way. Wow! My mom never cusses, ever ever, and she gets mad at me when I do! This must be a HOT button for her. SOoo, I considered, very closely, not to get bangs because of the fact that mom might be mad at me. But, I decided to do it anyway! Heck, I am 25, I have my own child and husband, and house! I decided to do it (as you may have guessed). Weeeelll, it turned out looking so good, in my opinion, that mom had no room to be mad, I guess, because she liked it too!

Another facet of this new haircut is that it makes me feel so much more confident about myself! I feel pretty, I have to say, and that is not normal for me. Not since I was pregnant with Caylen, anyway. There's something about taking care of a young child that will make a woman abandon her beauty.... It just wasn't important to me anymore! However, it all changed when my wonderful husband took me shopping for Valentine's Day at Myrtle Beach. He got me some Estee Lauder perfume that I looooved; it smelled soooo good. He bought that for me , out of the blue-- we never get each other anything for Vday... But, the perfume also came with some makeup and stuff, which made me feel so special I just can't describe. Like good special, not the humiliating kind of special.  I knew that I mattered to him and that I was special to him. Aaaahhh. My wonderful hubby, I love him so much! So, all because of that perfume, and free makeup, I feel like a whole new woman!
