The Better Martha Chops It Off!

Get ready for the most narcassistic post you will ever find on my blog. But I did something pretty major so I have to share it with you all! I chopped off most of my hair!!! For the last year or so I have progressively been cutting it shorter and shorter (much to my parents dismay) because I hate washing and straightening long hair so I decided to say bye-bye to my long tresses and my flat iron. I'm a curly girl now!

{Long hair, bob, bob with short back long front, curly top}

In all honesty, I'm actually prepared to go even shorter like her, but my parents weren't having it. Hehehe! I'll be leaving for college in two months... I may just get very scissor happy when I'm away from home! #teenagerebellion

The Better Sparkly Nails & College Prep

Today as I was pulling out all my gear to give myself a manicure, my friend Shana sent me a text informing me of how lucky I was that I didn't have to sit through the French final review (seniors don't take end of the year exams at my school). And like a not very good friend, I laughed! It made me giddy that I had already put in my four years of hard work, and  while others are toiling away prepping for finals, I was sitting home drinking iced tea, listening to music, and trimming my cuticles. 

Since summer is running our way, I thought I'd go for a bright white polish. It looked so fresh against my ruffle neck polo dress.

Then I saw the bottle of pink glitter Bestie brought me back from Korea, and decided to spice things up.

KAPOW! It's like 5th grade Valentine crafting all over again!

I also did some light reading as my nails dried. My beyond sweet English teacher saw U Chic in a book store, thought of me, and bought it as a just because gift. Isn't she the greatest? I must say from what I've read the book is clever, and the tips seem very practical.  

A Restoration Hardware catalogue for baby and child came, and I'm really loving some of their duvet covers for my dorm. I'm aware that it's a bit decadent for a college dorm room, and that their stuff is generally meant for the under 14 set, but hey, YOLO.

The Better DIY Wand Curler

This process literally took me ten minutes (including the time required to find the screwdriver). Curler wands are great because they are much easier to use, and they do not leave clamp marks in my hair. Plus it was a great way to get the product I want without tossing my Hot Tools curlers.
