...this morning.

3 Braided Messy Bun

I found this little hair-do on pinterest but of course now I can't find it to link to but it was pretty easy. Basically you make 3 pony tails and braid them then roll them up and pin them! Easy enough right? I also teased my hair to give it a little poof...not sure it actually worked but I did it and then twisted the sides.

Little Hail Storm.

Oh Anne Shirley....

I love Anne Of Green Gables! For my "redhead" post this week, I thought Id share quotes from the movie! 

By the way, I love Gilbert! Who doesn't?

Gilbert: Psst! Carrots! Carrots! 

Gilbert: Well, I figured you can give me a hand with my work, and we'll call it a fair exchange.
Anne: Aren't you worried? I'm liable to break another slate over your head.
Gilbert: I'm more worried I might break one over yours, carrots... I'll walk you home. 

Anne: I thought nothing could be as bad as red hair. Green is ten times worse.





Anne: Mrs. Hammond told me that God made my hair red on purpose and I've never cared for Him since.

Gilbert: Anne, wait! I'm sorry for teasing you about your hair. Don't be mad at me for keeps.
Diana: Oh, Anne, how could you? Gilbert always makes fun of the girls. He calls me crow-head all the time, but I've never heard him apologize before.
Anne: There's a world of difference between being called crow-head and being called carrots. I shall never forgive Gilbert Blythe. The iron has entered my soul, Diana. My mind is made up; my red hair is a curse.

           

Halloween Door

Catch Up.

We went and got wood on Sept. 1st! We all had to try splitting the wood but I'm pretty sure Tyler is the only one that can actually do it and do it well...and fast!!! We had fun trying though! I actually split a piece and I was pretty proud of it!

I love getting wood, I don't know what it is but I just think its fun!

You gotta watch out for the 1  million cactus out there...I think everyone got stuck with it at least once!

I also went through the temple on August 31st!

Was That a Compliment?

A compliment that I've never really known how to respond to... 

I met a couple who had just had a baby and who would of guessed, she came out with red hair. As I got to talking with them they told me that they were worried when she came out with red hair and then something to this effect, " but you're really pretty  for a redhead so I guess there's hope." Seriously? Oh...umm thank you? I think, that was a compliment right? 

People seem to have this idea...

 "There are two kinds of redheads: ugly redheads and pretty redheads and NOTHING in between. If you are wondering what I am talking about then you’re the ugly one."

Well then...I guess I'm ugly because I simply don't understand or maybe I choose not to understand because quite frankly, how rude! Where does this come from? I mean how would you like it if someone said, You're really pretty, for a brunette or blonde or whatever...that would leave you wondering, wouldn't it?  I wonder if people understand what they are insinuating when they say that. I don't know if this even makes sense, I just feel this need to defend my red headed race, all redheads are beautiful, everyone is beautiful in there own way! Anyway sorry if this sounds like a rant! 

On the up side I have also been very complimented by the color of my hair! I had a girl tell me once that every time she saw me she thought of those shampoo commercials where the girls are swinging their hair back and forth. Ha ha. A few weeks ago I had another girl tell me that she thought I had the prettiest hair she's ever seen! A guy who stays at the hotel frequently told me he thought I was beautiful and that I had beautiful hair and to never change it. Ive had people (granted most of them are old but still..) envy my hair! These are the compliments and people that I love and will forever be grateful for! They make me happy and...they make me feel good about myself! 

My name is Shaylee, I am a redhead and everyone is beautiful!
