Want to see my new hair? <3
An impulsive trip to the salon and many snip-snap-snips later, my split ends were gone and so was most of my hair. Getting that haircut was so cathartic! Does getting a (good) haircut make you feel better too?
My longtime online friend Abbee, who’s more in touch with the universe than anyone I know (visit her blog!), said that the New Moon is in my sign which means my coming birthday (Saturday) “is perfect for romance & generally great beginnings! Fun, playful, promising, yay!” I needed that boost, especially since I’ve been having the birthday blues.
With that, might as well welcome the new year with a new ‘do right? I’ve already got better vibes. Goodbye split ends. Goodbye messy ‘do. Goodbye old bob. Out with the old, in with the new!
Ah, I feel better already. Just a little bit more and this roller coaster ride of a week will calm down.
Cheers to new hair and new vibes!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

I hope I could muster up the courage to have my long locks cut. Maybe I could “gaya” your bangs. Teehee!

July 28, 2011 at 9:36 am (13 years ago)ibyang : Thank you so much! Fresh ‘do for fresh beginnings!
krn: Thanks! Reminiscent of college nga eh.
sheng: Is it a DO and not a DON’T? 😀 Thanks girl!
Mom-Friday: Thank you! My hair has been super tikwas and buhaghag na pala. Well, I realized it but didn’t do anything about it LOL.
upto6only: Thank you so much!
abbee: YOU’RE RIGHT! And who says a Leo needs to have a huge mane? 😉 Thanks for the love dear friend.
kayni: Thank you!
Cherrie Lozano: Go ahead! At first I didn’t want bangs because I’m not comfortable with it. But after a quick chat with the stylist I just went “I’m going for short, might as well go all short!” I’m glad I chose this look! It’s easy to manage.

July 28, 2011 at 3:22 pm (13 years ago)I like the chic look! I had that hair style when I was newly married and until few years after giving birth. Easy to maintain, although it requires more frequent visit to salon for trimmings. Pag medyo humaba na, try mo rin with a tiny clip or thin head band. :p

July 28, 2011 at 7:04 pm (13 years ago)I love it! Very stylish and practical. I love short haircuts… they’re so low maintenance on a day to day scale. As you may recall, I had short hair too about 2 years ago. It would’ve cost me a fortune to maintain because my hair grows so fast, but while I had it, I LOVED IT! And my husband said it was like being married to a whole new woman. LOL!
