My favorite babysitter would let me brush and style her long hair with barrettes, clips, and scrunchies for hours. When butterfly clips became a thing in the early 2000's, I would put 6 of them in my hair, twisting them into perfection and then rolling glitter all of my face to finish off the look before the … [Read more...] about FIRE Bloggers Don’t Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up Either
