Hair!

This is my hair. 
I usually wear it something like this...
Which is the exact same hairstyle I've had since Senior Year.
Proof


Sometimes, I wear it down...

and sometimes it's in a pony tail

Sometimes it is short


getting a little creative with the regular 'do

I looked and looked and looked for that picture of me with the cute side pony and flower embellishment that my cousin Karen made, but couldn't find it anywhere. I guess I must have deleted it.



and once or twice a year I'll take the effort (yes, it's plenty) to straighten out those curls

I've highlighted it

and I've taken out the highlights (and not one single person noticed the change)


I do like my hair... but I'm not sure that what I do with it is the full potential, if you know what I mean.  
If you had this head of hair, what would you do?  Or, what do you like that I have done?

Ummm, there is always the short 'do. :) You said you have gone short before, but I mean short, short. I'm loving my short hair right now. I usually wear it straight, but I really love it curly too. My hairdresser used her razor scissors and really thinned it out, so it's not a triangle either. Another idea is the brazilian blowout and you could be straight for a few weeks, but they are rather pricey. Good luck, I know hair can be a challenge.

As someone who went to cosmetology school - my advice is when you want a big change and have no idea what would look good - then you have to go to the best of the best. It may cost more, but after the initial cut/color, anyone else can usually keep it up.
Chris at Jagged Edge in Draper (in front of Kohls) is amazing. He is super expensive, but he owns the salon and teaches at hair shows and things. He did the most incredible cut on my moms hair and then I just kept it up for her.
That's my advice.............:) I like your hair curly, but it might be a fun change for you to have a cut that just really lays different for you. Post pics whatever you decide!

Oh yeah, that is definitely good advice from Stace. I also forgot to mention that I love all the pics of you in this post. :)

I remember when you had highlights in your hair when we taught together. I also remember the first time you took your glasses off at lunch and thinking "Wow, you look a little different without glasses." ha ha.

I like your hair curly. I've never had curly hair so I don't have any suggestions. I would worry that I would suggest something and then it wouldn't work and you couldn't go back. YIKES!

I don't think you should go way short. The thinning out idea sounds right. Definitely go to someone who has dealt with curly hair before. Don't just go to anybody.

Love you!

I like Stace's advice...if you want change-lots of layers more in the front to show a little more change or even slices of color to show more definition...still love your curls but to look for chng...that's my thought! LOL You're still beautiful either way-take a pic when you decide to make that change! Layers take a lot more work which is hard w/kids...speaking from my own personal experience. hehe Love ya! :)

A friend of mine has reallyy curley hair like yours. She is around your same age as well & she did a long A-Line & It is so cute! I think this would be a good change for you. Just sassy enough but not too drastic. She kept the front about shoulder length & then the back only a couple inches shorter in the shortest spot. This way, if you hated it, you could always even things up. I think it would be fun & different for you.

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
