Saturday afternoon I sat nervously at the hairdressers.
I’m not sure why I was so nervous it wasn’t like I haven’t has short hair before. I cut it all off my senior year of high school and didn’t start growing it out until about 6 years ago. But as anyone who’s grown out short hair before, you get attached. You just do. Plus I’ve had longer hair since starting this blog and losing the weight so in a weird way the short hair represents "old Roni" but I digress.
Anyway here’s a short pictorial of my salon adventure.
Let me tell you my hairdresser, Christina, had NO mercy. I sat in her chair and she said are you sure… I said yup.. and Snip! My hair was gone!
Little guy came with me, of course. He was having fun snapping photos of the process.
Although he did get a little bored. :)
The result…
No hair!
I love it!
No.. really I do.
Honestly, I don’t even miss it. It’s so weird. I feel like this is just the way my hair is suppose to be. The way I see it if I want long hair I can throw on a wig but day to day I want to be able to wash and go. I’m not cut out for a lot of hygiene overhead. If that makes any sense.
Besides my hair adventure the weekend was jam packed with fun! Little Guy had sports games. I caught up with an old friend and saw Robin Hood. This morning started with a run before I prepared to host poker night which… I won! Lunches are made. Fridge is filled with fresh veggies from the farm stand. AND it was warm enough to spend some time outside to run in sprinkles and catch some bugs.
I’m ready to start this week! How about you?

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...] -
Yup. You read that correctly. BEET as in those red vegetables that stain your fingers pink. Honestly, I have no idea what possessed me to make this. I don't particularly like beets. I mean I like them, but I don't looove them. Two summers ago I made them for [...] -
Yesterday I decided to rediscover simple foods. Part of my cooking slump has to do with over thinking. So I did what I used to do, simply react to what I have on hand. This is what I came up with... Starting from top left around.., [...]

After I lost weight after my first baby, I chopped my hair off. It was very liberating. My actual words were “I totally get why Britney did it!” Congrats on the new haircut, it’s sooo flattering and gorgeous! Short hair is just so much easier when you’re a mom!!!
I think it is amazing that you have the “guts” to cut off your hair. I am personally so attached to my hair that I only cut my hair once a year or so!! I let my mom do little bang trims, but other than that I like my hair to be shoulder length or longer!! :) I also wanted to say that I LOVE your new hair and I wish that I had the courage to do so aswell!!
You look amazing and you definitely can rock the short hair! Getting a pixie cut (or at least getting my hair cut really short) is on my list of things to do – I feel like it will be sooo liberating.
Very cute! I once had my hair cut short like that and it really is amazing how wonderfully free it feels…lucky guys (and gals like you that can pull it off;)
Love the new hair! It must be so easy to take care of when working out!
Gorgeous and so smart. I’m glad you like it because it really, really suits you. So much prettier than a quick tie back when busy too.
Wow that looks awesome on you! I’m jealous… pixie cuts are verrrry bad for my face shape.
I love your hair Roni! It makes your eyes stand out so much more — so very pretty.
So cute Roni! I love it :)
It’s adorable! You look terrific.
How cute! I have been debating cutting mine. I am a former short-hair person who has been fighting a bob for years now in an attempt to look younger and, dare I say, thinner. Sigh. I wonder if I would feel over-exposed now with short hair. But oh the ease of it!
Pure radiance…Inside and Out!!!
I love it and it will be great for the summer time! You can save so much time too!
Hair looks awesome! I wish I could pull off hair that short – I’m sure it’s so much easier getting ready after your morning runs.
Your son is TOO cute! I can’t believe how big he is getting.
LOVE – LOVE – LOVE your hair!!! Have a great week!
I love it, Roni! You have a beautiful face and great bone structure, so you can absolutely pull it off. I also think it’s awesome that you had the guts to cut off your hair even when you were heavier. I think lots of bigger girls would be terrified of that–but it looked great on you! You are so brave!
Short hair looks so great on you. That’s one of my favorite haircuts ever. It wouldn’t look good on me, but I always run up and compliment women who have their hair cut like yours. I’m still holding out for this haircut when I’ve lost all the weight. Your features now really pop, in a good way!
The new ‘do is so cute! I really want a new style too, but I’m not brave enough to go short.
Sensational. I would compliment you on your fashion forward hairstyle in person so why should the web be any different? The short crop is very flattering to your pretty face.
You look adorable and very sassy!!!
You’re so cute :)
I love it — it looks great on you! I was the same way — I hemmed and hawed about chopping off for months. When I finally went short I didn’t miss it at all — it felt like the real me!
Wow! You look great!! Really it does suit you and I am excited that you were brave enough to do it. I have long hair but maybe someday…
Must feel so freeing!
Love the new hair, it looks great on you!
Your hair looks awesome, Roni!
I had short hair for so long I often get the urge to just chop it off. I like it both ways but Hunni likes it longer so I leave it longer.
But you look great with the short. Really shows off your bone structure.
You look HOT!
Please post a pic of you with new do with dressy clothes…cause I know it will be sizzlin’ :)
What a brave act but such a beutiful result!
What did your hubby say????
Your hair looks so great, Roni! It really suits you. You are beautiful!
CUTE! And Ryan looks about 7 years old!
SHHHHHH geesh! Don’t make it go any faster! ;)
I know, right! My boys, who I still think of as little, are already 11 and 14. Zips by WAY to0 fast.
I get it – and your hair looks great!!!! Love it! To answer your question, I am so not prepared for this week and need to beforeI self sabotage!!!
Roni, you are adorable no matter what length your hair is!
I LOVE IT! There are only certain women that can pull off that short hair look, you are definitely one of them (I am not one!). It looks fantastic!!!
Your hair looks amazing! I felt the same way when I cut my hair off- I didn’t miss it at all! It’s so freeing to have short hair.. it takes no time at all to do.
Roni your hair cut is sooo cute! Love it! ;)
Hey Roni,
Just a quick message to let you know you look fabulous with short hair :)) i love it! It makes you look completely different, really trendy and young!!
hi from Luxembourg xxx
you looking so good.
So cute!!! At some point of my life I’d love to go with a pixie cut. I love it with you glasses too!
Look at you spreading your cuteness around…it looks great!
Roni – your new cut is super cute. you should post a before and after shot with the short hair. I mean a before you lost the weight but you had really short hair and a now shot with the really short hair.
funny I was thinking the same thing! I may do that tonight for wordless wed if I get a chance!
I know I’m a wee late on this but you look amazing! =)
LOVE it! Looks so cute on you. Almost makes me want to try it myself!!
