Some of them were super deep

Haircut Time, But Which One??

Haircut Time, But Which One??

Let the votes begin.  You only have about 4 hours, but I am scheduled for a haircut this afternoon. And it’s time for a change…but just how much of a change?  You help me decide. So, here I am today.  In the photo below you will see long, yucky, heavy, no real layers hair.  I

Birchbox

    Ever heard of Birchbox?  I hadn’t.  Not until I saw that Stephanie from girls, pearls and combat boots had signed up and loved it.  And then another blogger mentioned that her husband loved the fuzzy socks he recently received.  I was intrigued.   Here’s how it’s described on their website:   “Birchbox is
