Before the cut and After

Definitely needed a new Do after a year of growth. I was feeling so blahh.

I feel so much better, definitely feel cuter 😋

... Read moreGetting a fresh haircut after a long period of growth can really change how you feel about yourself. I went almost a full year without trimming my hair and started feeling a bit 'blah,' like my style was outdated and weighed down. Finally, deciding to get a new 'do' completely uplifted my mood. A shorter, well-maintained haircut not only looks neat but also makes daily hair care easier and quicker. From my experience, a haircut can do more than just improve your appearance—it can affect your confidence and how you carry yourself. When you feel groomed and stylish, it’s easier to feel motivated and positive. I found that even small changes like adding layers or freshening up the edges can make a big impact. For anyone hesitant to cut their hair after a long time, I’d recommend communicating clearly with your hairstylist about what you want to achieve. Sometimes just a trim or adding texture is enough to revive your hair’s life without drastic changes. Also, don’t underestimate the power of simple haircare routines and treatments to keep your locks healthy between cuts. Ultimately, haircuts are a great self-care ritual. If you’re feeling stuck or uninspired with your look, treating yourself to a visit at the salon can help you feel cuter and more refreshed, just like it did for me!

I spotted 2 vintage bookshelves at at thrift. They had almost black stain on them, and were pretty worn. I had a vision to fix these up, apply a dark brown stain, cut them down, add an arch and trim, and put them on our kitchen counters. They turned out beautifully! #thriftedhomedecor #vinta
