Also, I kicked my birthday off with a "why not" of all why-nots:
I've always been a fan of change, and for this new year of mine, I'm embracing it fully. I ended up having 12 inches cut, and I'm donating my hair to Children With Hair Loss—they accept all kinds of hair and since the tips of my hair were bleached a few years ago, I picked their charity because some of the others have requirements against bleached & highlighted hair. I went to Kendall of Roots Salon in Boise (208-514-5895) and can't recommend her enough. This new cut is spunky, sporty, and of course—extra saucy. Why not, right?
Last year as I blew out my candles, I made sure that I didn't wish for "babies or anything crazy like that." This year, let's just say I can't promise the same, though I'm in no rush to make any changes that big (or small) quite yet. Oh, 27, I can't wait to see what joy you'll bring.

Happy birthday! The short 'do looks really good one you!
Shut the front door!! You look incredible! I just turned 27 too...this will be the best year ever. I did a list of 26 things I learned at 26 on my birthday and one of the things I learned is a quote from Coco Chanel. It says: "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life." You go girl!! :)
OMG! It looks great! You can def pull off either style! Happy birthday!!
WOW! I thought you might change things up soon, but I never thought you'd look so cute with short hair! absolutely love the cut!! (and the fact you donated the locks you cut off) Happy Birthday, indeed :)
Your hair looks AMAZING! Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! 27 is a great year. Your hair looks great!
Happy birthday! Your hair looks awesome. :p I've always wanted to donate my hair, but it's either never been long enough OR I couldn't find anyone who would take it (because I layer mine and it's therefore never the same length altogether).
Happy Birthday! Your new haircut just looks amazing and you've done something good!
It looks amazing and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
oh my gosh your hair looks amazing! it totally suits you!! happy birthday!!!!!!
AUNIE!!!!! oh mah gosh!! (I commented on your other blog BWAHAHA!) You look so adorable! I pinned this hair cut because THIS is what I have been wanting. And you have showed it off perfectly! (my mom is a hair dresser LOL!)
Happy birthday friend! I hope you have a wonderful day and eat lots and lots of cake!!
xoxo!
your hair looks AMAZING!! Happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a great day! And your hair is super super cute!! Makes me want to try going short :)
I LOVE IT! It's just so cute!
I love it!!! It really looks fantastic :) I cut off 9 inches earlier this summer and while I kind of wish I hadn't I don't really mind that I did either. So glad that you love how it turned out!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday!! Your hair looks amazing!
I've always felt like 27 will be my favorite year too!! That age has always sounded so good. Your hair looks amazing!!!!!!!!! I want to get a short hair cut.. but I'm at that point I always get where I chop it.. So I want to wait another year or so. That cut is perfect for you though! It looks awesome! Happy birthday girl!! I hope you have a blast and that this year ROCKS!!!!
You look awesome!! That cut totally fits you! Thanks for sharing your stories with all of us all the time. God bless you and your family, today and always!
Very cute! I love it!
Holy WOW Aunie. You look FANTASTIC. And happy, happy, happy birthday!
Happy Birthday. You're hair is adorable! Love it and I'm so glad you did your research in terms of a charity that will accept your hair! Praying you have a wonderful 27th year!
Oh my gosh. How much do I LOVE that hair cut!!?? And Happy birthday! :)

You look FABULOUS!! happy 27th!
Love, love, LOVE the new do! It looks absolutely stunning on you. :) And happy 27th birthday! Here's to a happy, healthy, and positive year for you!
I saw your post! How fun is that!? And you know what's crazy? I ALWAYS make changes to my hair when I'm making a big life change. Mine at the moment? We move into our new house tomorrow!!! Big big big change! :)
Wow!!! You look great!! I've always been a pretty big fan of short hair--I think you'll love it! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!!! Your hair looks fantastic - I love it! Hope this is a great year for you.
It looks great on you! I love the feel and full body look of a bob, but I have too many cow licks to pull it off :)
Looks wonderful, I've been tempted to do this as well, your pictures may have just pushed me over the edge.
I love the hair, it's so cute!!!! Now you've got me thinking more about chopping mine off!! :-P It's not as long as yours was before but it just won't get as long as I want it to get so I'll probably end up getting it chopped :)
Your hair is so cute! Love it!
The haircut is perfect for you! You look so gorgeous! (I totally turn 27 next month too, and I'm in a similar boat when it comes to making it my favorite year. It just seems like such a perfect number, right?) Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday!!!! And I love that you donated your hair! You look so beautiful!
The hair cut is fantastic! I love it! Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday! Your hair cut looks amazing, it has so much spunk :)
Eeeeek! You look awesome! LOVE!!!
I did this a few years back and was so much happier with my shorter cut! Plus the fact that it was going to help someone was of course AMAZING! I would have totally guessed you were 22 or 23 just by your photo. Happy 27th! :)
Congratualations and Happy Birthday the hair looks great

THANK YOU KATIE! What a beautiful prayer for me. I am so grateful for that... especially the PEACE (God knows I need it!) and bringing Daniel and I closer together. Your prayers are working already, friend! :)

Thanks Breenah!! It feels cute and so fresh. It's very easy to style!

THANKS ZOë!! << ha, not sure how to make a capital ë with the dots :)

Thanks Rachel. I almost, almost went shorter, but I'm glad I didn't ... this length is just right! Thanks again!
Thanks Pamela!! Hopefully you guys will get used to me with this shorter hair :) I just posted pics today of my last ones with long hair. RIP long ones! :)
Thanks Amanda!! I know... I kind of had been hinting at it for a while, but I was never sold on it or ready to make the move. I decided last Saturday, and made the appointment for Monday. That's kind of how I roll... just get in and get it done! :)
Thanks Emilie! It was the best birthday, I appreciate it!
Thanks Lee! I'm hoping the rest will be as great as the beginning has been :)
Hey Liz! Thank you so much! I had been letting my layers grow for a while, and when I ended up having it cut, it was 10 inches in the front and 12 in the back. The charity I picked takes colored AND layered hair so it was a win/win! But like you, I had never hair hair long enough to donate before. This was the first time!
Thanks Andrea!! It was my tiny bit of giving back that day... I try to do something special each day, and that day it was that! Yay!
Thanks Brittaniens!!! PS > Is that your full name? I really like it!
Thanks Kristina. I feel like it suits me, too. It is just so easy!
So so happy! If you cut it, you must show me! Thanks again, Natalie!
Thanks Karoline!!!!! I appreciate that!
Thanks Darlene. You're totally right, my hair DOES feel healthy. I love the blunt, chopped ends!
Thanks Laura! If you give it a go, you'll have to post photos. I bet it would be great on you!
Thanks Katie! You're so sweet!
Thanks Yolanda. 9 inches! Wow! Were you just going in for a trim/cut to make it healthier? I bet it's great!
Thanks Alyssa! I appreciate that so much. I love it!
Baylee, thank so much! I was at that point so many times and finally just said "FORGET IT, I'M DOING IT!" But to be fair, my hair was longer than it had ever been, so that was a huge achievement for me! I love your hair, no matter how you do it. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, Sarah. I'm so happy you like it and that you stop by to read about my life. I really really appreciate you!
Thanks Megan! I'm right there with you... still in love with it so much!
Thanks Krysten!!! Yay for new things :)
Thanks so much, Chelsea. It was so important for me that if I was going to cut my hair, I was not going to send it off unless I knew they'd be able to accept it. I'm so glad that CWHL did!! :) Thanks again!
Thanks Denise! It's definitely different. I just needed a change, and this seemed like the perfect time to do it!
Thanks girl! My long hair seemed to be falling out so much, and I was worried that I was "trying" to make it fall out... kind of trich-like? It's not a problem at all with this shorter hair, I tell you what!
I was really just looking for a change! It is much healthier now :)
Thank you so much!! I think it's going to be a good year!
Thanks Abbey! Definitely on the happy, healthy and positive. Couldn't wish for more!
Thanks Rachel! I've always liked short hair too... and I've almost always had shorter hair, so I like it already! Thanks again!!
Thanks Allison. By the way it's started, I'm crossing my fingers that it will be! :)
Thanks Sara! My hair does look a lot fuller now, that's for sure. I only have one cowlick I can think of (I think) and fortunately it's right where my part is!
KM< I don't want to give you any advice, but DO IT! :) Ha! Thank you again!
Thanks Alexandrea! My hair was longer than it had ever been... I never thought it would/could grow that long. I don't have any regrets, and if you've got the itch, why not? :)
Thanks Cori! It feels fresh & fun. Glad you like it!
Thanks Torrie! I don't know if it's because my birthday is on the 27th, but I agree, I have always thought 27 was the absolutely most perfect number. Happy early Birthday to you!
Thanks so much, Niki! I knew that if I was going to cut it, I would HAVE to donate it. I'd never done that before :)
Thanks Jess!! I love that word, fantastic. It feels fantastic!
Thanks Kelsey! OOh chic... I love that! I can do so much with it now... it's so fun!
Thanks Shane! I think it was my best yet!! :)
Thanks Laura. It definitely feels sassy. Best bday ever!
Thanks Vicki!! I really, really wanted to donate my hair since I'd never done it before. Just so glad that CWHL takes layered/highlighted hair! :) Thanks again!
Thanks Rebekah!! I love it too, thanks for being so sweet!
Thanks Allison. It was the best day... just the best!
Thanks Leslie. I'm right with you... I think it will be fabulous!!
Thanks Olivia! I've been told that same thing, since I have an oval face... but you just never know until you do it! Good thing I took the chance :) Thanks again for the bday wishes!
I know! I thought of you the whole time. Do you plan on donating it again after it's grown all out? I'm sure you'll leave it for a while, though! Your hair was SOOO long, and you look cute with any hairstyle!
Thanks Kristin!! I really appreciate that... donating it was so important to me!
Great question... I actually bought it from a thrift shop, so I don't know the name on the tag offhand... it's not a big name brand :)
Thanks Carrie! I know... it was so hard not to post it on insta the day I cut it... I just was keeping it to myself! :) So glad you like it!
Thanks Allison. It seems to fit my sporty personality pretty well. It's just so low-maintenance!
Oh Shaina, I can't wait. Right now our kitchen is totally sticky-noted up with what to put where, the garage is getting lined with boxes, and we're hoping to get it all done this weekend. It's been such a trip! We own our current home, so this next one was a big fun step for us to be able to pick it out together... our other one was all Daniel's doing :)
