Alternate post title: “About the time I had a virtual makeover/wasted 3 hours of my life.”

Let’s just go ahead and start this post by saying that I have A LOT of time on my hands. Proof of this will be evident to you in just a second. Sometimes having time off is wonderful {I can get stuff done! And read! And blog!} and other times I have to take a step back and ask myself what the heck I’m doing. This morning was one of the latter. The weekend treated us gloriously and this morning I found myself sitting at my computer, not ready to tackle the celebration pictures just yet. There I was, mindlessly scrolling through the twitter when thoughts of a haircut came up. I’ve been thinking lately about changing up my hair. I’ve been thinking about long and short and layers and bangs. I’ve been thinking it might be fun to try something new, even if only for a little while because we all know hair grows back and this sort of thing doesn’t last forever. I think that’s why people DO try new hairstyles, because it is such an easy, fun way to change your look, without making it permanent. I’m saying this when I myself have never gone farther than cutting off a few inches at a time and adding a few layers. I’ve never even dyed my hair. {I know, I’m completely boring.} BUT still, the thought of doing something new is always a possibility.

Anyway.

I’ve heard that there are sites where you can see how you look with different hair, and so, this morning I googled it. And I found one. A really good one.

It’s called Daily Makeover and it’s ridiculously fabulous and time consuming {and free}. Maybe you know it, maybe you have no idea it exists, but I’m here to tell you that it can and will take hours of your life, but also that you will have a blast.

Oh, this website is fun.

You can try out new hairstyles.

And new hair colors.

And play with make-up and jewelry and everything.

And when I do cut my hair, I likely won’t do anything drastic, but it’s kind of cool {and also encouraging/scary} to be able to see what you might look like if you did decide to take the plunge.

So now, without further ado, I present to you…

Hilarious, right? {OR crazy. I can’t decide.} I used all kinds of celebs to inspire these looks {Emma Stone, Brandy, Taylor Swift, and Halle Berry to name a few}. Some of them are completely ridiculous and some of them are actually decent. I mean, I kind of don’t look all that bad as a blonde. WHO KNEW?

I’m trying to choose which one is my fave. I think #19 is the probably the most realistic, and it’s exciting to see that I actually might look good with side bangs. I also kind of like #2 {so light!} and also #11. #5 is totally T-swift and #21 is Cameron Diaz. And oh, my goodness, isn’t this just fun?

{YES.}

I played around with a little make-up and earrings, too:

You could literally be on this site for hours. There are HUNDREDS OF HUNDREDS of hairstyles to choose from and the make-up/jewelry part will also take minutes of your life away. Totally a waste of time. But a fun one.

Now YOU need to go and do it. And then obviously show me yours.

ENJOY!

P.S. Which one do you like best?
Do you think I should get side bangs or are they totally annoying?
Do you like the turquoise? JK. {Unless that’s your jam.}
