Half Way Point

For many years I thought about changing my hair and up until this year in january I hadn't even had my hair cut by a hairdresser... in fact for my whole childhood my mother cut my hair. So in January when i cut my hair i didn't go all out and drastic.. i simply went from my 'one length' long hair to something shorter with layers and a fringe.

To my surprise something as simple as that can make a big difference. Upon arrival at a venue where many of my friends were... the room that was filled with chatter, went completely silent and nearly 90% of the people in the room were staring at me. At first i was like what's up? is everyone okay... because the looks on their faces were either blank or shocked. Finally someone broke the silence and said "wow did you get a haircut it looks good" and thank goodness all the others joined in too apart from two guys. One of these continued to stare and the other said "Hello, i like your shirt! is it new?.. okay everyone lets get back to practice".

The one who kept staring and i think tried very hard to snap out of his blank stare was actually my boyfriend at the time. Not too long after that we got a moment alone and i was like "hey...sooo, what do you think?" and he was just staring again but with a slight smile. He said "You look Hot!" so i said "oh so i wasn't before, it's only hair" he was like "nooo, yeh i know that... it's just like.... yeh".   

So now for some time i've been thinking bout dying it as a change from my usual dark blonde... so as of today I'm brunette .. well at least for a little while =P we'll see what kind of reactions i'll get this time-perhaps more comments that i look like 'Bella' from 'Twilight'... 

This is now the half way mark into my preposed change.. the second half involves me painting my room again and taking down all the posters it's covered by. By the way the challenge is going well, haven't folded yet but it's early days...

My room a few months ago...

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting: but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised
