Kaleigh knows it is our choices, more than our abilities, that show who we truly are...but since she's got some pretty badass abilities, too, we aren't sure she's entirely unbiased.

You’re …

First it was unconventional lipstick shades. Then it was rainbow highlighters. Now there’s something called rainbrows that I am trying to wrap my head around.

I’m not a noob to the affects of lice. When I was a little girl my mom once threatened to move me into a cabin by myself if I shared my hat, headband, and/or affection with another lice-carrying classmate. I was a friendly kid, what can I say? So maybe twice a year or so from the time …
