Pixie Cuts That Will Make You Rethink Growing Out Your Hair

    I remember always being curious about having a pixie cut, and five months ago I decided to finally go for it and cut my hair. When I cut it, I really did love it. However, I love switching up my style and got bored of having short hair rather quickly. I have been growing it out and all I can say is that it is a long painful process. It has been five months and even though my hair is much longer than it once was, it is nowhere near to being even close to a bob. There are days when I go back to loving my short hair and days when I want nothing more than to at least have shoulder-length hair. Today happens to be one of the latter days. Because of this I decided to post some of the inspiration behind why I decided to cut my hair in the first place, and hopefully this will help me get rid of my current longing for having instantly long hair.
   

Summer Internship Outfits

   This summer I was offered an internship at an amazing nonprofit organization and so far I am loving it. However, I live somewhere where it gets up to more than 100 degrees and as such I did initially struggle to find appropriate office attire that is functional for the weather here. Luckily, I realized that there are several different stores around me that offer business-wear attire that manages to stay cool during high temperatures. For example, many of the blazers here are made out of satin which means that they are comfortable and stay cool without losing any formality. Nonetheless, other than satin blazers there are several different ways to keep cool and maintain a professional demeanor that I have included in this post. Obviously, the type of attire that you can wear to your internship varies, so remember to keep in mind what you see others in the office wearing and to pay attention to the dress code.
