donation time!

Donating, I think, is one of the coolest things a person could do. You can donate anything! Your time, your talent, your organs, your HAIR. And in most cases, donating helps other people who are less fortunate than ourselves. I don’t know, there’s just something so uplifting about donating, even something not so tangible like a smile.
So, every few years, I grow my hair out, as long as I can stand it. I have donated hair 3 times now and it’s just SO much fun. One, for the donating part, and Two, for the drastic change that occurs!
My hair was LONG. So I gave my friend Lindsey a call. We swapped a few emails and fabulous movie star photos and set a date.

After a ton of chatting, laughs, boys rough housing and LOTS of hair on the ground later, we came up with this….

It's really cute, Natalie! I love that you donate it. I've never been able to grow my hair that long, let alone 4 times! Maybe I should try...

Shut the front door! Wow you look beautiful no matter how short. I vote pixie next time. It look sfab Natalie. What a good woman you are. Whomever gets our hair will feel like Rapunzel, except for she was a blonde and felt her hair was a bit of a curse, but she will love her beautiful hair.

Wow your hair looks so cute. Your so brave for doing it but that's so cool that you've done it three times. Yea for cute hair and for the lucky person you blessed to have hair.

Hi Natalie! Loved this post about donating to a good cause. Wish my hair would grow as gorgeous as yours, I would donate it too. I will find another good cause I can contribute to instead.

PS Thanks for not taking me off your friends and family bloglist even though I haven't done my blog in two years. That's embarrassing! :) I'll update someday!

Miss you and my Colorado friends!
