A few weeks ago, I was invited to be part of a local initiative called Bring it Downtown! Downtown Fredericton invited 20 local people active on social media to be part of this super fun campaign, where they gave us $100 "downtown dollars" to spend within the downtown core of our city! The theme was to try something new, and after much internal debate, I figured out what my 'something new' should be...
THE CHOP.
I have been debating doing something different with my hair for quite sometime, and went back & forth between changing color and/or length. After seeing how layered and long (and ratty) my hair was getting in this blog post (incidentally, the same post that shows what I wore to the Bring it Downtown launch!) I decided to finally go for the cut. So, using a portion of my downtown dollars, I headed to Blonde Inc, my favorite salon, and went to my favorite girl, Shauna, and chopped 6 inches off my locks.
I did a lot of other downtown browsing, checking out local beauty boutique, Made You Blush, and home decor stores Urban Almanac and Room 2 Remember, but ended up using the remainder of my downtown dollars to go on a wine date with the fella at Corked, a wine bar that we've been meaning to have a date night at for quite some time!
Overall it was a great little downtown experience, and a great reminder to bring it downtown this holiday season!
