I'm linking up once again with The Girl Behind the Blog vlog series, this time with Ashely at 5ohWifey and Jenna at The Life of the Wife.
Today's prompt is on beauty products, something which I know little to nothing about! So, I talked about what I do know -- and that's my hair. Enjoy!
Yes, I realize I said the prompt was about "Beauty Projects" but I was nervous and felt totally unequipped for this topic!
In the vlog I mention that I recently let a 14 year old cut my hair. True story! I've been wanting to share it on the blog since I got back and felt that this was the perfect time! I met Julyssa when she was just 8 years old.
(That's her on the left!)
Last year, we started sponsoring her to go to Beauty School and I told her that once she learned some stuff I would let her cut my hair. She had curled it once before for a quincenera.
I was feeling pretty calm... until the first cut, that is! When I saw 6 inches of hair fall to the ground I smiled and said, "What have I just done?" (good thing she doesn't understand English!)
I think you can really see the fear in my eyes in this one! They cut hair a little different in Mexico, don't they? The beauty of it all is that her mom gathered my fallen hair and tied it up for Julyssa to take to school and show her teacher :)
And hey, it all turned out ok in the end :)
Now go check out the other vlogs that linked up here:

AH! You are so brave! And it is still crazy to hear a 14 yr old girl going to beauty school.... life is so different outside the states!
Great vlog!
you definitely have great hair, Kerrie!
I love that y'all have such a close and continuing relationship with this village and Mexico! Those haircut photos are so fun :) I've definitely found that having layers helps me keep curls in better!
I absolutely love that all of your posts have deep meaning behind them... even this one about beauty products. How neat of you to let her cut your hair.. I probably would have been terrified as well. :) I'm going to try this tip for sure! Have a blessed day :)

You're so adorable! I may take you up on some of the hair advice when I'm not feeling so lazy with my hair :)
Hey Kerrie. Let's have a chat. Uhm, I think we should be friends. Loved your vlog. It made me want to hang out with you. So glad that you seem "in person" as fabulous as you seem in writing! :) Hope you have a great weekend, and I'm definitely trying some of those hair tips!
It is amazing that you have a close relationship with her and let her cut your hair. I love that she was so proud and so was her mom. And I think it looks beautiful (but you already know you're gorgeous!) LOVE the mega hold, its what I use too! Glad you linked up again :-)
Julyssa is GORGEOUS! I think she did a great job on your hair. =)
I'm def going to have to try all the products you suggested. I have such a hard time getting my hair to hold any curl b/c it's so straight.
Never thought to use "curly hair" product.. maybe that's the key.

Loved seeing you again!
she IS beautiful!! she looks so grown up!! you are beautiful. <3
So, I found your vlog via Ashley (5ohwifey), and as soon as your blog popped up, I saw your picture and thought, "she looks SO familiar"... after a little catching up on your who-what-where-when's, I realized we are both from FL. Then it hit me. Did you go to FBCOP? Because if so, we were totally in Real Stuff Youth Group together :) I was a few years younger than you, I think (c/o 2004)...
As BIG as the blog world seems to be, it just baffles me that I managed to find my way to someone from my very own hometown..
I am SO enjoying reading about all of your travels - looks like such a blast!! :)

Hair cuts are traumatic in general! You're so sweet to do that, and she did a great job!! You're adorable, nice to meet you! :)
