I have to clean up a lot of sloppy paperwork in my life to make this happen.
SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS.
Still, I’d better get it done.

How I did it
It made me
Happy but tired 
How I did it: I fell in love with people who already had kids. Now, the plan is for the kiddo and the second partner to move in with us this summer, so I only get to see the kid every other weekend, but it's INCREDIBLE! Read how I did it…

How I did it: I have two signature scents.1. Asian Oud2. Lavender, Nutmeg and Orange essential oils.I learned which essential oils had which traits and picked ones that I liked, and worked out how much of each to put in a mix. Now, I never have to worry about my perfume changing or being discontinued. Spicy and fruity... that's me! Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy!
How I did it: I read a line somewhere from a woman who had rowed across the atlantic and kept a journal, and she realized that her mood for the day had a 1/1 correlation with how much she accomplished the day before, measured in miles.I kept track for a week and realized that I was the same way. I felt much better when, the day before, I got a crapload done.Now I write a list out at night or in the morning, and go through it. I try to cross as much out… Read how I did it…

Waist length!
10 months ago
My hair is waist length now. I don’t really consider it long, and I want my hair to go down to my knees.
I will keep growing it and keep it long, probably for the rest of my life. I love my hair.
