New Year, New Hair

Last year, I was diagnosed with Alopecia (you can read that story here and here). I haven't lost any hair since then, so I thought it was just a one-time thing. On Tuesday, I got out of the shower and started doing my hair and noticed a patch of hair missing.

My heart sunk. 

Luckily it wasn't as big as the last one, but it's right next to my 1- 1/2" scar (which doesn't have hair) and its close to my forehead. 

I quickly called the dermatologist and scheduled an appointment to get a steroid injection. Even though it's a painful shot in the head, I am so grateful there is a way to get the hair growing again.

Ever since I lost the patch of hair, I have hated everything about my hair. I just wanted to shave it off. But since Chad didn't even consider that an option, I decided to add a little more color. 

My hairstylist is Brittany at Suggestions Salon, and she is amazing! She never ceases to amaze me. I am so happy to bring in the new year with a little more color. Thanks Brittany!

Brunette to Blonde

For the past couple of months, I have been debating whether or not I should dye or cut my hair. Since chopping it off wasn't even an option from Chad, I guess I had to dye it :) I decided to be bold and go blonde! I have never never dyed my hair blonde, so I was very nervous, but I am very happy with how it turned out! I love Suggestions Salon!

Easter Nails

I love painting my nails. Ask Chad, I will rip off my gels nails each week (even though they usually will last for at least 2 weeks) so I can paint them again.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and I was determined to do it. All you do is paint five dots of a nail polish on a paper plate and then mix in an increasing amount of white nail polish within each of the five dots. Now you have ombré nails! It was super easy and quite cute :)

New Year = New Hair

I love Saturdays. I usually have no plans, so it's the day to do whatever I want. This last Saturday, I woke up and decided it was time for a change. Change in my hair. I decided I needed a haircut, but I didn't want to cut more than an inch (since I have been trying to grow out my hair since high school!) So instead, I decided to get an ombre! I absolutely loved my hairstylist at Suggestions Salon, she did an amazing job!
