30 Days of Nerdy Hair
Day 3: Cindy Loo Who from Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas So I was a little ambitious when I chose Cindy Loo Who for day 3 of this series. In all honesty my first run through of this style involved a red Solo cup and an awful lot of hairspray. But at the…

Take Mr. “I’m-still-deciding.” So the next day, I guess he decided because he texted me. And here’s what happened. Him – “are we fighting?” Me – “who is this again?” Him – “see… now you should have…
