Should you keep your hair long for your partner?

Last night, I came across an article that caught my attention. In this article, a couple of women discussed how their partners liked their hair long, even though the women wanted their hair short.

A woman by the name of Linda said that she has never really been a fan of having long hair. Unfortunately, her husband loves her long locks. In fact, the hair actually plays a pivotal role in his attraction to her. On her husband's birthday, she cut her locks off into a cute bob. Her husband HATED the haircut, and was on her about the hair cut long after his birthday.

Another woman by the name is Jill can attest to the above story. Jill's husband Steve likes her long flowing hair. He raved about it in an interview that he did with The Daily Mail. He told the interviewer that people would compliment Jill about her long hair all the time.

Couple Anwar and Lisa have similar stories. In Anwar's family, all of the women had long hair. In Anwar's marriage to Lisa, he wants Lisa to look feminine. When Lisa cut her long hair to her shoulders, Anwar was very displeased. He distanced himself from Lisa soon after.

Researchers theorize that as people age, they become more concerned about how their partner feels about their appearance. The goal then becomes to stay attractive to their partner, even if it means keeping a hairstyle long.

Experts advise that couples discuss the topic. Women should confront their partner about their fears of appearing less attractive to their partner because of a shorter 'do. Relationship experts remind people that relationships are all about a mutual respect of ones feelings and beliefs.

My Two Cents

I totally relate to this story. In my last relationship, my partner loved long, straight hair on me. I have naturally curly hair. He hated it. When I would get my hair cut short, he didn't like it. So, I spent a ton of time maintaining long, straight hair (which took nearly an hour or so to straighten by the way).
After the relationship ended, I was searching for a new look. I wanted to chop all of my hair off. As I looked at myself in the mirror, staring at my bangs and long natural curls, I changed my mind. I actually loved my curls (I grew up hating them by the way). I decided that the only change I needed to make was to go back to basics, and I've been here ever since. The right partner will love me for who I am, not how I wear my hair. They will love me with lots of hair, or no hair at all. They will love me if I'm in sweats, or in a flirty dress.

The bottom line here is, wear your hair however you want to wear it. If you want to go short, go short. If you feel that it may hurt your relationship, bring your fears up with your partner. I know relationships are built upon communication and respect. A decision that makes you both happy can be reached. Just talk it out.
Guys, please be open to listening to your partner's feelings. Be willing to come to an agreement with her.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
