Halloween is right around the corner, so I've been searching Pinterest for a fun DIY costume for the last couple weeks. In searching, it reminded me of a horror costume story that resulted in the loss of all my beautiful blonde locks. 

The costume idea was brilliant. I'm a 90's kid, the big thing back in the day were Troll dolls! I wanted to be the pink one. My mom used some "temporary dye" and hair glue to stick my now pink hair straight up. I made a perfect Troll doll. After the night ended, I exited the shower STILL with pink hair. Whatever my mom put in my hair did not want to come out. I was pretty young when this happened, but will never forget my mom's HORRIBLE solution - to chop my hair! WHAT?! So instead of long pink hair, I had SHORT pink hair... lovely! Fortunately, Facebook didn't exist when this happened, and there is no photo proof that this ever happened. Whew!

Last year, I was Spider-girl! My costume was pretty awesome, but the only thing I made myself was the mask. Here's that video.

This year, I'm going FULL DIY. Don't worry, I'll share REAL soon!
