Try Something New Tuesday v.1

One of my goals for this year, and the rest of my life, is to try new things! I don't want to stay in my comfort zone; I want to continually explore this great life that we are offered in as many ways as I can! So, I'm hoping to make this sort of post a staple in my blog. I'm not sure it'll be every Tuesday, but I think this will push me to do it maybe even more than I'd like (which is a good thing). The name doesn't quite roll off the tongue like I'd like, but it gets the point across!

The topics on "Try Something New Tuesdays" will hopefully be as varied as the birds in the sky. Maybe a new place I visited, a new kind of craft I've tried my hand at, a new recipe, the options are limitless (I hope). It might be something extravagant and exciting, or just something small that I've never done before, like taking cookies to a neighbor.

For the first one, I decided to do a new hairstyle. Over this past year, I've finally started to get comfortable with being girly and so I'm in need of a wider variety of hairstyles. I've got curls down and things of that nature, but I wanted to do something that took me out of my comfort zone.

I give you, the heidi braid...

I've seen so many girls with braids like this but never knew how on earth they did it! I wanted to try it because it's something I've liked but was worried that it wouldn't look right on me. The good news is, it's SUPER easy (I followed the youtube tutorial from StrawberryKoiVintage), and I don't think I look ridiculous! Talk about a good way to start Try Something New Tuesdays! I also like that this hairstyle can look good dressed up or dressed down (which is why I have two different outfits on).

Hopefully this can be a way to break out and document all the fun things I add to my life. Hope you enjoy! I know I will!
