Hi there! I am Emily Evert, the owner of Emily Reviews. I am 28 and live in a small town in Michigan with my boyfriend Ryan and our two pugs. I have a large family and I adore my nieces and nephews. I love reading memoirs, and learning about child development and psychology. I love watching The Game of Thrones, Teen Mom, Sister Wives and Veep. I like listening to Jason Isbell, John Prine, and other alt-country or Americana music. I created Emily Reviews as a creative outlet to share my life and the products that I love with others.
I wore a pizie for years as a kid! Yep it was in style then and I insisted then went to long hair. Now I am older and want o to change my hair, it doesnt feel is thick and is harder to manage. I have one last ‘donation’ in me- I have donated my hair since my 20s and I wont bore you with how many decades it has been. Maybe I will let the young stylist pick a flattering short look..
These are great short haircut ideas, thanks for sharing! We live in super hot Texas so I have definitely wanted to cut my long hair short so many times. My husband loves my hair though, and likes it long, so I keep it long. I think a pixie cut would be so much easier to maintain!

I like the Short layered pixie. If I were to color my hair I like the pink one.
