Growing a Donation: Hair for Locks of Love

Some of you know last January (2008) I cut 12 inches of my hair off and donated it to Locks of Love. Having spent this past year with my short short hair, I was thinking about ways I could contribute to someone else’s life, and I decided to grow my hair out again and donate it once I’ve reached the minimum 10 inches.

For me, my hair isn’t really an area of concern. I realize for many people how their hair looks makes or breaks their day. Although the growing out process has its moments, I feel good about my decision and look forward to growing this donation mindfully.

If you’re looking for something to do—to give back—consider joining me and growing your hair out this year! It will help one or more people who have lost their hair through illness and/or disease. As an added benefit, you will save money since you’ll need fewer haircuts!

On the Eve of a New Year...

Greetings All!

I am excited about this new year 2009! I will finally have the opportunity to post information for you any time I want to with my new blog! Over the past few weeks I have wanted to start this process but I was moving into a new home, adopting a dog, and getting everything together for the holidays. Now that all of that is behind me—almost—I am looking forward to writing articles with you in mind, working to help you understand how to take better care of your skin as well as offering other information that may and may not be related to skin care.

I will make this one short and wish you and your family and friends all things good for the new year and beyond. January 1st always feels like a fresh start, a chance to do things differently and to enjoy every moment—starting now.

BE WELL, and keep checking in to see what’s new on this blog!

:+) Carolyn Ash.
