To The Girl Thinking About Cutting Her Hair Off, Go For It

For as long as I can remember, I always had long hair. When I say long, I mean long enough for me to sit on and/or get stuck in my pants.

Every few years, I cut it off and donate it, but I waited way longer than I usually do this time. The last time I had a real haircut (i.e. more than a trim) was in 7th grade (keep in mind I'm now about to graduate college, so it has been quite a few years). Even then, it was still long. Just way shorter than I was used to.

When I first came to college, my roommate and I agreed to donate our hair right after graduation, but she backed out. I, however, was so ready to let go of my long hair and start new.

I was going through way too much shampoo and conditioner. It was taking way too long for me to brush my hair. I wanted things to be simpler, and I wanted to stop pulling super long strands of hair out of some uncomfortable places.

So I made the leap, and it's SO MUCH NICER.

After cutting off more than a foot, my time to get ready has been almost cut in half. Instead of it taking 10+ minutes to get all the tangles out, it takes less than 2 minutes, and I CAN USE A COMB OR MY FINGERS.

Don't even get me started on styling it because that is so much easier now, too. Before, my hair was too long to hold a curl. It was just too heavy, and about a half hour after curling it, all of it fell out. Now? I can curl it, and it lasts the whole entire day. It has even gone into the next morning.

I've been able to spend less money on shampoo and conditioner, and even less time trying to get ready. Not to mention my hair feels so much lighter (since there's less weight), and extremely healthy.

If you're thinking about cutting your hair off, do it. I promise you won't miss it.

Dear Los Angeles...With Love,

After packing two oversized suitcases and two carryons with all the boho chic clothes I thought I needed to travel across the country for my dream internship, I quickly realized that although I may look like I belong out in the entertainment capital of the world there was a lot more to it than Free People dresses and fanny packs.

Dear Los Angeles...With Love,
September: Los Angeles

Ever since I was younger I dreamed of moving out to California. There was something so amusing about being in the hub of it all that bursts with passion and artistry wherever you look. After a trip to LA when I was a sophomore in high school for dance, I fell even more in love with this utopia of a city and from that moment on, Los Angeles was that light at the end of the tunnel.
