New Year - New 'do!

What better way to start off the new year than with a visit to my orthodontist?!

As if my personality did not ALREADY scream nerd alert, I also have the pre-pubescent mouth gear to go with it! But you know, over time, I've come to not mind them at all. I've gotten rid of my OCD habit of constantly chewing gum, flossing is definitely a part of my daily life, and my ortho and his staff are AMAZING. I basically have a monthly catch up session with the dental assistants (most of the conversation consists of them trying to understand me talking with their hands in my mouth removing my rubber bands) 

This month I was especially excited when I skipped out of their office because of these babies:

(Forgive my blurry picture, I was so excited in the car, picture quality wasn't my first priority)

NO, they're not diamond earrings gifted to me in appreciation of being such a ray of sunshine whenever I come in - they're BRACKET STUD EARRINGS!!! The clear kind - like MY braces! 

One of my favorite dental assistant's told me she had forgotten to give me a pair when I had gotten my braces on - 1.5 years late, but it's cool. I could've been rocking these since 2010, it's okay. Haha, anyways, how amazing are they? I'm totally wearing them next time I head on in :)

Braces Diary - Day 674 - I've got less than 4 months before these babies are slimy and naked!

Anyways, what OTHER better way to start off the new year than with a new hair 'do! I finally returned back to my amazing hair-dresser, who I've been hiding from for a year now- I am lead to believe that my long, untamed and damaged locks manipulated me into believing that I didn't need her anymore. 

But, I was wrong, so so wrong. My hair has been released from the dead end curse and I am so happy that I got my hurr did for the new year. I'm also trying baby bangs. You like?
