the week i decided to start curling my hair again

I apologize that my blog posts are so depressing lately! I really am not wallowing away in self pity. Sure, I have my days, but for the most part I am happy. I have a job, a car, a house, an amazing family, fantastic friends and a craft room. What more could I need?!

I have had to make quite a few decisions lately, some bigger than others, but every one important. However, the best decision I made this morning (dare I say this week) was to curl my hair. Strange, maybe?

You see, I have kind of been lazy lately. Ok, so maybe "kind of" is an understatement. It takes every bit of energy that I have to get out of bed in the morning just to get to work on time. And my hair suffers because of it. Sure, I curl my hair and look good for church on Sunday, but there's just something about the other 6 days that makes me feel less than thrilled to do my hair.

Then I hung out with some friends after FHE a couple of weeks ago and got inspired to try some new things with my hair. There is this girl in my Branch that I just adore, and she always looks so cute and tries new things with her hair. She is going through a vintage phase right now, and she offered to do my hair for me:
Isn't it cute?!

My work is putting on a huge event next week and the theme of the event is "Worth Remembering" with a retro/vintage type feel to it. I was so inspired by my vintage hair style above that I decided to learn about some more hair styles I could do for the event. I love YouTube! So this last weekend I tested my chosen hair style. The picture is extremely grainy and blurry, but you get the idea (please, ignore my gnarly looking hands):

What do you think?? Do you love it? I know I do! In fact, I spent the day wearing high heels and doing housework just to embrace the style even more.

Who knew that one simple hair style would completely transform my week? I curled my hair yesterday for work, and today I looked in the mirror and told myself to stop being lazy.

{best. decision. today.}
