A hairy situation, and other stuff

Two weeks ago, I woke up one morning and decided that I would entertain the idea of cutting my hair into something Emma Watson/Carey Mulligan-esque. Don't ask me what the trigger was. I have no idea. Although I was intrigued, it was a little daunting seeing that I haven't had short hair since the obligatory Asian bowl-cut way back when. Back then, I absolutely hated short hair and couldn't wait until I was old enough to grow it out. I used to leave a t-shirt on my head and pretend like it was hair and flip it around. Lol.
Anyways, I did my research- Youtube videos of girls getting their hair cut, Pinterest searches for Asian pixie cuts, you name it. I spent shameful amounts of time on this website where you can upload your picture and try out different celebrity haircuts. So fun! After much deliberation, I made my hair appointment.

The haircut itself went really well. I will post pictures at some point. I was pretty nervous going in, but after talking it through with the guy and showing him lots of pictures of what I envisioned, I felt  confident that we were on the same page. The guy was great at communicating and listening, which is not the case with every hairstylist. Isn't it the absolute worst when your hairdresser thinks he knows what you want but actually has no idea? Or when he thinks he knows better than you? I've had both, and yes they were the worst.

All in all, I really love the new look. I think it's different, exciting, and so easy to dry!! I am also learning how to style short hair. I've never used wax, pomade, and all that, but it seems simple enough. Also gives me an excuse to go to the drugstore :)

In other news, the past two weeks have been INSANELY busy. I had to work both days of the weekend :( One of the weekend days until 1am :( Then it got worse during the week. Sigh. But I did get to experience my first deal, from beginning to end, which was very exciting. Too bad it had to be so accelerated, as that was how the deal was structured. I hear we have another deal coming where I may have to fly to Beijing on Monday. Normally I'd be happy to travel to Beijing any chance I get, but I am going home on Friday for my dad's birthday and then off to the States for an awesome week, so two trips to Beijing and a trip to the US in one week is a lot of flying...

I guess a crazy week will only make vacation more blissful :) Can't wait!
