How I did it
It made me
Happy. 
How I did it: Three years ago, I got the worst haircut ever and I cried for days. I vowed to grow it long but I'd had short hair for 14 years because I didn't have the patience to grow it long. Read how I did it…
It made me
Comfy and cozy
How I did it: Our realtor was awesome and this buyer's market definitely worked to our advantage because we don't make very much.So we found a really cute little house that was perfect for us. It needs a lot of work, but that's what we were looking for! Read how I did it…
It made me
extremely happy
How I did it: After seeing how much weddings cost, we decided to courthouse it. We thought the money would be better spent on buying a house to start our life together instead of one day of partying. So we had a backyard cookout and it was really sweet and fun. Read how I did it…

Therapy

I’m now in therapy for my fear. It’s sort of helping. I’ve been doing hypnotherapy and it’s helped with my anxiety in general but I still don’t know how I’d react if I were faced with either someone throwing up and throwing up myself.

Exactly one year ago I got a bad haircut that made me look like a boy. I made the mistake of going to someone new to cut it. I had spots where the hair was so short, it felt like stubble and I had my boyfriend call Bubbles to yell at the guy who cut it. I cried for 2 days.
WELL, a year later, it’s a little past my chin. I got my friend to trim it and she cut it a little too short so I’m a little further from a ponytail than I’d like to be. That’s like a 2-month setback.
One of these days my hair will be long! It’s getting there, I can feel it.
