Berkeley winter greens

Another one of our Sunday walks. It seems like we may be leaving Berkeley soon, and now I'm feeling nostalgic of things as we live them. The weather has been so dreamy these last weeks, and we've been trying to explore our town a lot more.

Here's another Sunday walk. We had some Korean food and went to our favorite ice cream place.

New do!

I have as much hair as 5 normal girls added together, and each one of my hair strands is as thick as a finger. On top of that, my hair is frizzy, poofy, and has those waves are not coherent enough to be pretty, but make a damn good job at making me look like a disheveled poodle. 

Because of this, the hair salon girl warned me against chopping it off, stating the obvious fact that my hair will never look like the pictures that showed her. 

But, when it takes you a solid 5 minutes to just get your long hair wet enough to shampoo, and 2 hours to blow-dry and straighten enough to look nice, I don't care if I don't look like that pretty girl. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? that my hair turns into a weird triangular affro unless I style it? and who cares about that, when at that length my hair will be 5 pounds lighter?! Styling it would be so much faster! 

and it is.

Yes, she was right. I let it air dry the other day, and ended up having to wear a beanie for work in 70 degree weather (California is starting to grow on me). Even the beanie looked poofy!

But now washing it takes me less than 5 minutes. Styling it only takes my about 30 minutes. 

I've come to accept that I will never have low maintenance hair. That means that if I want short hair, I'll have to work for it. And now I want it, so I got it.
