Making my way through library school while still finding time for friends, foes, and free spirit happiness.

Failure to Snip
Last Friday was National Donate Your Hair Day, and I vowed to snip mine off. But I failed to do so! After doing some last minute research, I found out that I need to donate at least 10 inches of hair in order for a decent wig can be made. Sadly, my hair isn't quite long enough yet for me to cut it to a comfortable length. I would've had to cut my hair to my chin instead of my top of my shoulders, and that just gets me antsy. (I have a fairly large sized head and a long face, so I'm not really sure if really short do's will look good on me.) But I will donate soon enough! I bought some Biotin supplements today (only a 1,000 mg dose because I heard if you take too much it can really harm our health.) I'm hoping to get to the ideal donating length by the beginning of June. If anyone is reading this, do you have a big and medium to short hair? I also have lazy waves and very think hair and hoping I won't have triangle head after the snip...

Cookies
So recently, my best friend was having a bad day, I was down on myself about not being thin enough, still having acne in my 20's (I thought that was supposed to go away already!!), blah blah blah. Naturally we made 5 dozen chocolate and peanut chip cookies. No joke.
This is how we did...
We failed to melt the butter enough, and hence we broke the mixer that is clearly from the 80's. Then we stirred the rest of the way with a wooden spoon. Let me tell you, not fun. I'm sure there was a better solution...
Luckily for us, the boyfriend had some friends over at his house. The obvious solution to baking 5 dozen cookies at midnight? Taking those 5 dozen cookies to boys.

Save the Date
Not for a wedding (really), but for my hair. April 27th is National Donate Your Hair Day. I've been debating on whether to do it or not, and I thought that maybe if I officially put it out there, I'd be held accountable. Plus, just thinking about women who have been diagnosed with cancer or have other ailments that take away their hair and happiness with it is just another reminder of how fast and easy my hair will grow back. I'm hoping to channel Camilla Belle and cut something like her mid length bob.
The 5 Year Engagement is also coming out April 27th. Just in case I shed some tears after the sheers, a movie pick me up definitely sounds right up my alley. Who's down to donate their hair with me??
I'm so bad at this.
Blogging is something that I've always wanted to do, and yet I can't get into the groove of it! I've read all sort of tid bits about how to just keep writing, don't get discouraged, eventually I'll make it a habit to post everyday etc. etc. etc. So today I realized it's been 34 whole days since I've posted anything at all. If I may reiterate, I am so bad at this!
Well, just in case anyone is reading this, I did try the apple cider vinegar on my scalp. To my surprise it did work! But unfortunately it only works for about a week, and then I have to rinse with it all over again. As for the bad smelling hair after rinsing with the vinegar, it doesn't really happen to me. I was my hair normally after and there's only the faintest scent of vinegar for about half a day. Does anyone have any more suggestions for me? I'd love to hear about them and maybe try them out!
