It’s been WAY too long since I’ve written a real blog post. I’ve been trying to keep up with Instagram, the best that I can, but feel like I’ve been failing miserably. I haven’t been writing, I haven’t been sharing, and I haven’t been able to enjoy this. If you know me, you know that …
Happy New Year! 2018. Wow. That sounds so strange, since, in my mind at least, 2001 was just a few years ago. 2018 is a new year, full of possibilities and promise. As most of us do, I am shedding off the past year, and trying to set new goals for this one. This year …
My little family recently had a photo shoot hoping to get that perfect shot for our Christmas cards. I found a gem of a photographer in Megan Hitchens Photography. She has an incredible eye, and I love her esthetic. A big plus is that she also has small children, so she understands that kids are …

Sorry to be such a tease! I was fortunate enough to be model for Jeremy Davies-Barbala on Sunday. He is a rockstar haircutting educator from Norway. My awesome boss and salon owner, Rodger, brought him in to teach a cutting class at 8 the Salon. When you get an opportunity to have your hair cut …
Hair is the only accessory we wear everyday. It’s referred to as our crowning glory. It’s often the first thing someone notices about us. So what happens when our hair turns on us? So many women deal with hormonal hair loss, postpartum hair loss, illness, and general female pattern baldness. Having been in the hair …
Those who really know me and my family, know that I have bald children. I don’t mean bald until 6 months, I mean bald until 3! My son took forever to get any hair. It was so blond and fine. He is 4.5 and finally has a decent head of hair. My daughter has the …
