Fantastic Books and Where to Find Them 
How does it feel with short hair? Much lighter right? And much easier to wash. I felt like some weight was lifted when I had my long hair cut 😊

My hair was actually very, very long before, so it’s still quite long even after the haircut; but, yes, it feels a lot lighter and is easier to maintain. I really like the medium length! xx

I’m with you on donuts and cake! Especially warm, freshly cooked donuts. Those are the best! And now I wish I had some… 😂

I need to cut off some of my hair. It’s getting so long. Isn’t it liberating when it’s all gone? I always feel so free and light when I cut my hair shorter. Haha! I had a chocolate chip muffin with my tea earlier. I love cakes and sweets. 🙂

I feel the same way – it had been several months since I last cut my hair (I let it grow past my hip), and I really like the change! Ooh a chocolate chip muffin sounds delicious… bakery items really are the best! xx

Six inches! Wow! Did you donate the hair?
How can you not love ice cream? Well, at least you love cake, lol!
Thanks for the nom, I need to do a BUNCH of tags, and I’m still appreciate of everyone who thinks of me.

No, unfortunately, I did not. I used to love ice cream as a child, and I think I ate so much that I just got tired of it. I’ll still have cookies n’ cream from time to time – it’s really the only flavor I like. Of course, and I totally get it. Hopefully we’ll both find the time to catch up on tags/awards! xx

I love cookies and cream, and it’s my fave too.
Too bad about the hair, but what can you do? At least it probably feels a lot lighter!

You’re welcome! I think I just got bored with chocolate after eating it too often as a child (just like with ice cream), but I don’t mind eating white chocolate from time to time or a Reese’s cup if I’m really hungry! 🙂

Hahaha I get that! I actually really like Reese’s. I never used to, but now I think it’s the perfect combo of sweet and nutty.

You’re welcome, Sammie! I was only four or five at the time, and the only other kids in my class were 13-year-old twins whose mother made them join as punishment… but yes, it was still quite fun! 🙂

Congratulations on the award, Niraja! 6 inches of hair is pretty long – how are you liking the change?
And OMG I can’t believe you don’t like salty snacks or ice cream or chocolate. Those are the things that I’d eat and eat and eat if only they don’t make me gain weight, haha. Do you snack at all?

Thank you so much, Reg! I absolutely love it – I can actually put my hair up in a bun now without feeling like it’s weighing me down, and it’s just so much easier to maintain.
I’m a really picky eater! Now that I think about it, no, I don’t snack much, but I still love junk foods. I eat A TON of pizza, baked items (brownies, cake, donuts, cookies, etc.), and unhealthier meat items like chicken nuggets.

Wow, that’s A LOT of hair, you must feel a bit weird with shorter hair, at first, don’t you? I never cut my hair too much, I’m too scared I’d end up looking weird, haha. I LOVE donuts and cake as well, but I’m really such a sweet tooth! 🙂

Aha, yes, I felt a little self-conscious at first, but you get used to it after a few days. My friends and family suggested I should cut off ten inches or more, but I didn’t for the same reason; it’s a silly fear, but I’m afraid it’ll look bad or it won’t grow back as long!
