I made a promise that if the #12DaysOfGiving campaign managed to raise at least $2000 in support of our Day 5 featured charity (National Autism Association), I would dye my hair blue.

(I pretended that this was a big chore on my part – for the kids – but really I was excited to do this… I haven’t had my hair blue since high-school)

Well, it took a little bit of creativity at the last moment (read this post if you want to guess), but we raised over $2100 for the National Autism Association… and an amazing total of $13,831 for all 12 charities involved. Well done everyone, thank you so much for being involved!

I did it… I Dyed It Blue

With some help from my good friend Andrea Robin, I managed to meet an amazing (and super generous) stylist named John at Sets on Fort who did an amazing job on making my hair blue.
