Girl Two Doors Down (GTDD) Flip Flops Giveaway ($60 ARV)

Girl Two Doors Down

I wear flip flops pretty much all summer long.

It means I get to break out my "fun" shoes - flip flops! I was sent a … [Read more...]

Getting creative with hairstyles

long hair

When I was a little girl, my mom always had my hair cut really short.  This annoyed me - even as a child.  When I became a teen, I always had long hair, and I have continued with longer hair since (with the exception of a few shorter haircuts, just to see if I liked them). The problem is I don't often wear my long hair down! Sounds silly, … [Read more...]

I remember going to my first dental visit when I was 3-years old. I remember it so well because I was scared. I desperately wanted my mom to come into the exam room with me, but they wouldn't let her.
