Beauty And The Beast: New Hair Style

A week ago I was feeling stressed. I stressed because I had a thousand things on my to-do list before I traveled. I stressed because I wanted to feel prepared for my trip and I wasn't. I cried because even thought my hair needed a serious trim, I wanted it to be long, to stay as it was because it made me feel as myself. Sexy. Cool. Confident. It was part of my personality and I was happy because it was the longest it's been in years.

As I got up from the client chair at the hair salon I couldn't believe how short my hair was - I didn't feel like me. I was lost but told myself to be strong so I paid the bill and didn't look back in the mirror. I walked home with tears flowing down my face (good thing it was dark outside) and when I arrived, I complained to the husband and continued to cry. I made my way to the bathroom to clear my face and when I took a second look in the mirror I cried harder because my hair was much shorter than I thought it was.

The following day I realized that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I started to feel terrible because my hair isn't as long as I wished it was but there are people out there who have lost it all because of cancer treatment. So I decided to get over my issue and try to embrace my new hair style.

I confess. I started blogging before I even had my first follower. I was a little skeptical about how I would actually manage my time or that I would run out of ideas. I've realized that with each post more ideas come to mind and then everything is just fine...

Take a look at my posts so far:

Welcome to my blog and my first post! I am very excited that you are joining me on this creative path. As a graphic designer and lover of great style, I've desired to have a space where I can share my ideas  and now it's a dream come true.
