the hair project.

heaven help me and my crazy brain

i've decided to grow my hair out

what no one understands is that cutting my 

hair is like quitting cigarettes {not that i have ever had to try}

you get to a certain point and crack

im screwed.

anyway

the deal is that i dont take a single pair of shears to my head

except for thinning {i have a lions mane amount of hair}

and styling.

im going to take a picture on the twelfth of every month to track progress.

wish me luck.

month one:

{likes}:

my fringe likes to flip out right after i dry it. its kind of fun.

i just cut off the mullet, so its feeling good. {give it two weeks and it'll be crazy}

{dislikes}:

it takes forever to dry.

its shaped like a bowl.

welp. here goes nothing...

yours truly,

beks.

and by santa, i of course mean dad. {im one of those girls}

i've been so good this year.

beks.

{todays words of wisdom}

some stories dont have a clear beginning, middle and end. life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing whats going to happen next. delicious ambiguity... {gilda radner}

two bananas sliced and frozen
one fourth cup oats
one fourth cup creamy peanut butter
three fourths cup milk

blend oats until powdery
add remaining ingredients until there are no more hunks of banana

yours truly,
beks.
