Locks of Love

I did it! After my post yesterday, I realized I am way over due for my Locks 4 love haircut! So I called Look After Hair Co. made my appointment and went in to have my hair cut off for a good cause!

Locks for Love takes donated hair and makes wigs for underprivileged children who have medical conditions causing them hair loss. It is a great cause and its just hair! It grows back. And with hair like mine, thick, curly and with like this super growing ability its something I know I can do to help out where I can't financially make a donation. (And the haircut is free if you donate it!)

Here is my before and after picture of my hair....
Here is the back of my new haircut


I sent a picture to my husband at work to show him. His reaction was priceless. I have never had my hair this short before. The lady who cut my hair did an excellent job. (Notice I had my eyebrows waxed too while I was there! They are still a bit red from the waxing)

I am looking forward to playing around with my new style, seeing how it will look after I straighten it. (That is my natural curl by the way... no perms here!) I will post some more photos after I have had some time to play around and see what I can achieve with my new short hair.

One thing I say for sure, it sure feels lighter and cooler especially on these high 90's days!

Check out the Locks of Love website.

OMG PIZZA!!

Since I started my weight loss journey, I have been eating low carb high protein diet. I avoid bread like it was the plague, but I must admit, I sure do miss some things! And one of those things is Pizza! I can't really stomach eating the crust (or anything bread related), it just sits too heavy in my stomach and is very uncomfortable, sometimes painfully so. It has been almost a year now since I had my surgery, and I was determined that I was going to have pizza! I searched high and low for low carb pizza crust recipes and came across several. One of them uses cauliflower to make the crust, but cauliflower is just so darn expensive! Others use almond flour (again super expensive!) or some weird strange ingredients I have never heard of. And then I came across this one... It seemed almost too good to be true! Super simple ingredients that don't cost an arm and a leg. I must admit, I was skeptical! The recipe seemed too easy, and didn't sound like something that would ho...

Trying new Recipes...

I have been trying a lot of new recipes lately that I find on Pintrest and thought I would share and review my opinion on a few of them that I have recently made.... Starting with, low carb bread . So one thing on a low carb diet, bread is pretty much out the door. I don't really miss it as there are a lot of substitutes that work great for bread, but every now and then I want an ooie gooie grilled cheese sandwich. Not having bread makes this a bit difficult. So I looked up a recipe for a low carb bread and decided to give it a try. As you can see, my bread turned out pretty nice. Had a nice brown crust to it, my toothpick came out nice and clean, sure looks like bread! I dumped it out of the loaf pan and onto a plate so I could cut it and store it easier. It came out okay... I probably should have greased the pan a bit better, it did leave some of the bread behind on the bottom, but that's ok, I still have a good looking loaf of bread that I can eat! I get everyth...

My 44th birthday!

Today is my birthday! I can't hardly believe it, I am 44 years old today and feel half that age! My celebration started last weekend, Saturday we had a gathering of friends and family. My parents, my brother and his family, my best friend and her husband and another friend from the club I'm a member of came over, in addition to the 7 in my family alone. We sat around my new fire pit area complete with benches that my husband built for me for my birthday! Had a few drinks, some appetizers and had a good time. This year for my birthday, my oldest son took me out to lunch and then bought me a new hummingbird feeder that I wanted. And the hummingbirds enjoy it too :) Then my oldest daughter took me to Kohls to buy some new shoes that I needed to have for working purposes. Following that, she took me to Bed Bath and Beyond where I got some nice smelly good stuff, and then we went to Starbucks where she treated me to a pumpkin spice coffee that was delicious! My you...
