10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Getting A Pixie Cut

I first chopped my long locks when I was 14. It was an accident really? I’d tried to give myself a cool haircut and ended up having to get a pixie. I was devastated. But little did I know it would be the most amazing thing that could have happened to me. Here’s what I learned while having a pixie cut.


1. It will look odd at first but only because you know nothing about your hair. So look at YouTube videos and don’t get the same pixie haircut your 50 year old stylist has like I did. It doesn’t look that bad, right?!

2. Everyone will be talking about it for the first few days. Enjoy being center of attention. Afterwards, you'll be a go-to for pixie cuts and haircuts in general because you'll be getting them every 5-6 weeks.

3. You dad might hate it and will remind you everyday of your mistake and how you will never find a suitor (mine still does). p.s. that’s not my dad.

4. You can pull of headbands like nobody’s business.

5. And dye your hair different colors.







6. You become the “pixie” off all your friends. They come to you for advice on hair and how to look fabulous all the time!

7. Your hair will be healthier than it was before. My long hair was so dry and had so many split ends I couldn’t bare it. My pixie hair doesn’t and is so shiny and silky. I love it!

8. It takes FOREVER to get it looking good. Seriously!

9. You look good in everything! And not everyone can pull it off. But you did, Sunshine!


10. You will fall in love with it and probably never want to grow it out! (I unfortunately do, maybe).

Bonus: 11. You look back at old picture and can’t even remember having long hair.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
