Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind! So for today's 5 on Friday, I'm showing the options I have. Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body ...

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?? I'm open to anything :) three . My birthday is coming up! Well, sort of.

When Hamlet says the famous quote "To be, or not to be?" he is basically saying "To die, or not to die?" I pose a similar question today: To dye, or not to dye? I grew up hearing that naturally, you have ten colors in your hair, and when you dye it, you have just one (or however many colors you use, I guess). It's something my grandma used to say, and my mom is a HUGE proponent of that advice. So my grandma, my mom, and both of my sisters have never done anything with their hair by way of dye. My mom pretty much freaked out when I put three blonde streaks in my hair three years ago. She'll probably freak out even more now that I'm considering dying all of my hair. I guess that repeatedly-given advice is what keeps me from dying my hair. Well, that and the cost. And the possibility that it will look terrible. So I guess there are a few things holding me back :) BUT. My hair looked so red when I was little. See? So some...
