8 Amazing Products for Short Hair

I’ve had long hair for many, MANY years. After I developed a severe allergy to hair dye, the only way for me to switch things up a little was by getting a new cut/style.

thoughts-and-prayers

Sometimes, I just feel like I feel, so much. Like I feel, everything.  I’ll never forget the day the Sandy Hook shooting took place. It’s the only time that I recall myself being down on my knees in my living room, crying and praying in front of my TV. My heart breaking for those young, innocent souls.
