It's My Birthday! And I have a gift for you!

Today is my 28th Birthday! I like to celebrate my special day during the entire month of August (and yes, I do impose this rule on my friends and family). But this year I've decided to give an extra special gift TO YOU!  All orders placed in my Etsy shop during the month of August will receive a complimentary handmade tie-dye braid. Think of it as a virtual party favor!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Peace,
Rachel
