Hey my wonderful OH family!! I love you all so much... and without you I would not have had the success I do today. I am very happy with my success, considering the setback I had with my gallbladder being taken out... but no worries!

I got a little makeover for my 11 months - trying to learn to be a girl again! I got my manis and pedis done, new hair color, style (longer in front, shorter in back) and got my eyebrows shaped!

So here are some photos that I hope will inspire someone. I just can't believe how much I love my band!!!! It hasn't been an easy journey, but very rewarding!

Good idea! That would really add some dimension to your hair... perhaps layers too, depending on your lengh. It's so fun!
