How I did it

How to road-Trip across the United States

It took me

7 days

It made me

yay!

How I did it: We drove from Upstate New York through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and finally made it to Cali. We drove for 28 hours the first day through the midwest, and stopped near Denver, Colorado; then took a detour to the Grand Canyon, stayed there overnight, and hopped over to Vegas with a friend, we then drove to San Diego and stayed with a friend for a few days, till I flew home.

How to cut off all of my hair

Donate my hair to Locks of Love

So i did it! 4 months ago

Three years ago I started to grow out my shoulder length hair to donate to locks of love. But I started falling in love with this long hair and for awhile stayed away from my original goal. My hair had become my security blanket and whether it be because of fear of how I might look with short hair or the wondering if I would I be sexy with short hair and if guys still be attracted to me with short hair; All of these questions thwarted me. Until I read this article about living consciously and I took my first step to do that.
I made an appointment with my hairstylist, and found some pictures of styles I might like, and went the salon.

30 Minutes later, with 18 inches of love to send I came out.
