I have this system with my hair. I like to grow it out really long and then chop it off to a really short bob. I like the drastic change. Well, this time I waited 3 and 1/2 years between big cuts and I was able to get it long enough to donate! I snapped some before, after and in-between pictures at my salon (Salon 42 in Charlotte, NC) Big change huh? I love it!
Check out the side view. And all of those lovely Bumble and Bumble products in the background….love those!
I have to give my hair stylist, Jessica Riddle props. She has been cutting my hair for like 10 years and always does such an amazing job! Plus, she always makes me a little bit blonder 🙂 She is hilarious and I love chatting with her during my color/cuts. Here she is with my hair…as a mustache, HA!
So, where can you donate your hair? There are quite a few options out there, just be sure to read the guidelines to see if you fit the qualifications!

Pantene Beautiful Lengths

What do you think of my new haircut?

This past weekend I had a quick getaway to the mountains with my family. We rented a cabin near Brevard, NC – the land of waterfalls…and home of white squirrels! No, I’m not kidding. They even have a White Squirrel Festival every year!
The cabin we rented was actually in Cedar Mountain about 15 minutes from Brevard. It was tucked away in the woods and all around the back were trails, a stream and waterfall. The owners had set up chairs and swings in little nooks around the river. It was awesome. We could even hear the waterfall from the back porch!
On Saturday, we took a quick drive over to DuPont State Forest to check out some of their waterfalls – much bigger than the one in our backyard!
Above is Hooker Falls and then Triple Falls where the Hunger Games scene of Katniss nearly stepping on Peeta was filmed.
Back at the house we had boat races in the stream out back. Check out the awesome boat my brother made out of a Rhododendron leaf and a few sticks! We had a great time and will be back to this area again soon for sure! Here is a pic of my little sis and me…..12 years younger! She makes me feel old everyday, ha.
Do you have any favorite mountain getaway spots?

This past weekend, The Mister and I finally decided to turn in our selfish, no responsibility ways and get a dog. Let me introduce… BELLA!
I am kind of biased, but I think she is just the cutest pup ever. This Great Dane has already stolen my heart!
Her serious face makes me laugh and it is so hard for me to be stern with her!
The droopy eyes, all of those beautiful spots, her floppy ears, her goofy puppy run, and that smile when she is so happy… they all make me melt.
As you can imagine, I have already been on the Etsy hunt.. I love everything on there!
Here are some of my FAVs for dogs!
Have your people call my people dog tag | Personalized Leather Dog Collar | Raised Feeding Station | custom dog beds
And… I also had to look for my Great Dane things… I kind of really want that pillow. I think it would be awesome in my living room! 🙂
Great Dane Necklace | Great Dane Dog Tag | Coffee Mug | Great Dane Print | Car Decal | Great Dane Pillow
Anyone else have a favorite place to buy things for their dogs? Anyone love Great Danes? As a new mom – I would love any advice you have!
