Chop chop!

I remember the last time I cut my hair short, my mami said this to me "ay Carmencita, te cortaste tu belleza" which in English, it kinda translates to ''oh Carmen, you cut your one beauty" Hmmm... things really do sound so much nicer in Spanish. :)


Keeping this in mind, I had prevented the short 'mummy cut' for a while now. But long wet hair (who has time to blow dry their hair all the time- not me) in this cold weather is not too pleasant, and I finally managed to convince myself that my hair is not a limb, but it's something that can grow back!

So look what I did last Saturday. My hair went from this...








to this...



Joe loves it, and loves the savings I am making on shampoo and conditioner. I'm loving the 'just got out of bed' look - literally, and I'm definitely not missing my long, knotty wet hair down my back when I step out of the shower- in my freezing cold house. I also get now (it only took me 4 years!), why so many women chop their hair off when they have children. I can get ready in a record breaking 10 mins, and actually look like I've made an effort. So now I have so much more spare time for important things like blogging playing with the kids ;). I'm glad I went through with the chop. Who knows, I might just even make it to church on time from now on.

    Thanks Gerry, and it so is short! Well, for me anyway. :)
    Even Elly said to me when I cut it "mum, you're not Rapunzel anymore, now you're Snow White"... see. :)

    your way too lucky you have the in-be-tween hair! Hate you :) looks great curly and straight...the style totally looks manageable. Makes me want to go shorter but then i recall the mushroom head look...as nice as i feel walking out of the salon its never possible!

    Ha, funny cos I called it a mushroom cut when I first came out of the salon. I told the hairdresser I liked volume and she gave me volume alright. I liked your hair when you got a mid length cut once... remember? You should do that again!
