World’s Greatest Shave

I had the opportunity to participate in the World’s Greatest Shave. It is an annual fundraising event here in Australia for the Leukaemia Foundation. To raise funds, you either shave, colour or wax your hair. I shaved my hair off.

Initially, like 4 days before the event, I only had $200 to show for (thanks for my loving bf who contributed half of that amount). But due to desperation and sheer willpower (more desperation really), I was able to raise more than a AUD$1000 the next 4 days. Thank you to all the people who sponsored me. It is greatly appreciated by me and by all the people that you will help.

Do I miss my hair? It is still quite a shock to see myself in the mirror that’s for sure. Still trying to get used to it but I’m getting there. One big plus about it though, I don’t have to worry about styling or fussing about my hair anymore. Not to mention, no tangles and hairball.

On the other hand, I feel the cold so much nowadays that I have to wear some headwear to keep warm. Not to mention, the gorgeous Australian sun is burning my scalp too.

So will I do it again? Hell yeah! It’s worth pissing off my sister. I’ve never seen her so worked up in my entire life over such a simple thing.
