Hole in Eyebrow2 photo

It was Christmas eve… I decide to be a grown up, and by “grown up” I mean “remove facial hair.” I have a light mustache to match my unibrow and while I want to be a good example of accepting myself, hair and all, to my daughter, I don’t want my facial hair to outdo [...]

hair dye swatches

Over a year ago, I did a vlog the night before I started dyeing my gray hairs. I was only 31 years old and I had enough hairs to build a cuddly polar bear. Photo Source Except I like my natural hair color, but dying does not lead to natural color. My hair just kept [...]

Creepy!

This is not a follow up to the princesses being stolen by Scott. They were given back to N at 5 p.m. after one look of death. When I was a child, I made the mistake of watching the horror movie Child’s Play.  Perhaps, I thought it would be about building forts and making crafts. [...]
