Haircut

SNIP SNIP, THERE GOES 8 INCHES! I'm super late posting about it, but I did indeed cut off a whole lot of hair last month. If you haven't noticed, short hair is kind of taking over the world. Recently I've seen countless people chop all of their locks off and I started loving their new hairdos. So for the past few months I've been silently contemplating taking the big leap. Up until this point I haven't ever cut more than a couple inches off. But for some reason, at the beginning of the year, I just had this urge to cut it all, and I'm seriously proud of myself for doing it! I lovvveeee the new cut. My hair feels so soft and healthy. And as a bonus, it doesn't get caught in doors anymore! I was so ready for a change and I'm so glad I did it!

If you're considering cutting your hair or trying out a new hair style, my advice is go for it! At the end of the day, it's just hair. If you end up not liking the new hairstyle, it'll always grow back. 

One of my mantras for the year is to step outside of my comfort zone. 

Letting go of my fears and cutting 8 inches off was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I couldn't be happier that I did it. I can't wait to continue the year, getting out of my comfort zone one step at time.

Are you contemplating a major cut or new hair style?

Look at all the fun things Rachel makes in her shop! The birthday themed stickers will be perfect for remembering peoples birthdays, and of course I had to decorate my birthday! (My 18th birthday is next week, mark your calendars!;) 

I'll be using the fruit and veggie stickers as little reminders to keep eating healthy.

How stinkin' cute are those gold bow stickers? They may just be my favorite stickers of all. And when you buy them in the PlannerAddict25 shop, you get 15 bows for $2! You can't beat that.

What's that gold rectangle thing? It's a dashboard! No, not the kind in your car, a planner dashboard! It's the must have item you never thought you needed in your planner. It's a laminated piece of paper that has coil clips so you can pop it right into your planner and easily pull it out to move it from week to week. It's perfect for writing to-do lists, special notes, packing lists, or upcoming appointments. You really can do just about anything with the dashboard, you could even get artistic and use it to draw on! The possibilities are endless. If you want a dashboard but the gold foil one isn't your thing, that's fine! There are tons of dashboards to choose from in the PlannerAddict25 shop.

One of my favorite things about the dashboard is that when you use a dry erase marker, the ink dries so you can shut your planner without having to worry about smearing your writing! When you're ready to take the writing off, just wipe over the dashboard with a paper towel and it looks brand new.

I'm so excited to make my planner look all cute with the PlannerAddict25 items!! 

I've already made a wishlist of items I need from the PlannerAddict25 shop.

My favorites: one // two // three // four // five
