So- as I said in my first post I will elaborate on some things.

I am bald. Well, not completely- my head has about 1/4-1/2 inch of hair on it. My mom has cancer. She's bald too- in all honesty, she has more hair than me. I buzzed her head, and then the day after we had our Christmas pics done I buzzed mine too. I figure it's a way of showing support to her, since we go grocery shopping together & now there's TWO people to stare at in the stores, lol! Well, we did go grocery shopping together. She's not doing too well this week- she's on isolation at home since her white blood counts were very low this week. She's on her second round of chemo, this time with additional medications that are making it harder for her. She's a tough cookie, though. I also have always colored my hair, and wanted a change. I wanted to see my natural hair again. I was unsure what color it really was. My dad's a reddish-blondish-brown, and my mom's is chestnut brown naturally, but mine's always been blonde. We'll see what it is in the next few months I suppose :)


So- more on Self Magazine- I signed up online to be a part of a beauty panel for their May 2012 issue. Imagine my SURPRISE! I was picked! I'm testing some products that are supposed to help with redness in the skin. I have just finished my first product and I liked it alright. I don't think I'm supposed to talk too much about it, so I guess we'll all just have to buy the magazine to see if they publish my opinions? I like to try new products and from time to time I may write about them- good or bad!

And more about my darling daughter- Well, her name is Stella and she's nothing short of perfect. She was born 8/15/11 and has grown so much since then. Nowadays she's trying to roll over, "talking" and laughing! I'm hoping to start cloth diapering her soon, I am just so confused about what's what. Seems like to me that I could just buy some inserts & a cover & slap it on her and go.. I'm thinking it seems more than that. I'll take a free (sweet!) class at The Milky Way store here in Charlotte and that should help greatly.

She's such a cool baby. Life as a new mom is crazy- I went from being a workaholic, busy body and queen of the city to being a stay at home mom, couch surfing, laundry doing queen. :) I'll come back with more soon, but I leave you with this fabulous photo:

The last photo of me with hair. And my handsome husband and beautiful daughter. I think I'm pretty blessed!
