Michelle Obama celebrated her 49th birthday this week … with a new haircut.

What a great way to signal that you are not growing older, you’re growing better. You are not stagnant, you are constantly evolving.

The firehouses in this area always have a sign up when the clock changes that that should be a signal for us all to change our smoke detectors. What if, in the same way, a birthday were a signal to change up our look, even if just a little?

What would you like to do when YOUR next birthday rolls around?

And if you, like me, are a fiend for Mrs. O picks, you’ll enjoy these.
