Bits of me

My photo
Gilbert, Arizona, United States
5 things that pretty much explain me: *I love to bake *I am not short but "fun size" *A new pair of shoes always helps *My family is a part of me *I am the oldest of 5 (So I like to be in charge) ALSO: Everything is better and worse when you turn 30 BUT I am SO glad my 20's are over!

going short...maybe?

So I have been wanting to cut my hair but I'm not sure how short I want to go. The thing is I need 10 inches to donate to locks of love. In order for me to donate I would need to go shorter (like around chin or a bit longer) So I need help deciding. Let me know which pic you like the best for me. This is what my hair look like basically now but dark brown. Also Im not afraid to go short...Ive done it before.
