So after weeks of frustration and being broke, I chopped my own hair last night! It looks pretty good, a bit uneven but the way it's styled that doesn't really matter. Need to dye it again though as it is now black in the front/bangs (which I didn't cut, I'm growing this part out), and brown where I chopped it short in the back. Ha.

HI, if you like laid back lounges, check out Rejavanate at Pecos and Flamingos. I am into crafts myself, mostly poetry and I am currently publishing a magazine, good to see I am not the only who doesnt do the club scene.
