Things I have been kind of crazy lately for me in my personal life.
One of the crazy things was I cut off all my hair. I am not fully bald but nearly. I have the lovely skin condition called eczema. The eczema traveled into my scrap and I already have dry skin, so it does not help that I chemically straighten my hair. Well, I started noticing breakage in the front and back of my head. I have been thinking about cutting it and two weekends ago, I did. Last weekend, I had my hair stylist clean it up. I don’t like it. Everyone that has seen it really likes it. Apparently I have the face for it. I still hate it, so I have been wearing wigs. It’s an interesting emotional journey, but I hope my hair grows back nice and healthy without the harsh chemical straighteners.
Have you ever rocked a look that you didn’t like but everyone else did?
Okay, skipping the other personal drama for now.
It’s really exciting to see everyone’s Me-Made May 2012 Pledges. I am actually kind of jealous. I don’t have enough me-made items to participate like most people. If anything, I might be able to get away with doing one me-made item per week. Do you think its worth me signing up? Let me know what you think!

Hi! 🙂 I am participating in the Me Made challenge for the first time myself, and since I have just started sewing/refashioning maybe around summer of last year, i’m sure i have even less me-made items than you 🙂 i hate having pics of me taken, so this will be even bigger challenge too, but why not right? esp since you define your own challenge, so once a week is alright in my book 🙂 come and join! (i have yet to take my pic for the day)
I have had my hair cut extremely short and everyone loved it. The styling options were way too limiting for me, so I rocked 1/2 wigs. I would still join MMM12 and agree to once/week. The idea is to stretch yourself and if that is a stretch, you should join in on the fun.
I agree with Susan, I love the option of the 1/2 wigs… Also, I say to go for the MMM12 challenge.
once a week is definitely challenge enough. GO FOR IT.
as far as rocking “adverse” looks: i once dyed my hair red. my best friend said i looked like ass. (that’s a quote.) so if you have truthful friends like i do: rock your short hair! having met you in person, i have the feeling it looks quite awesome on you. (my red did not.)
Trice, I just found your blog and am happy to be here.
When I read about your excema, I had to say this.. Most skin conditions are allergies caused by food or some product that we use. Maybe you can keep a journal of food and products you use to figure this out.. Another way is to eliminate everything (elimination diet for food and products) for 3-4 weeks and then reintroduce only one at a time… that will help you catch what is bothering your body.
This is how wee figured out my wheat intolerance. Sharing it here so it might help you too..
Thank you for visiting my site and thanks for the advise
