Yesterday, I went with Mom to a baby shower. Weirdest. Baby. Shower. Evarr. But the daddy-to-be was effing HOTTT!
Also, got two new sweaters. Every time I have to go to some sort of dressy-style function, I have to get new clothes....I'm never satisfied with what I have. Pair that with the 30 lbs I've lost, I kinda sorta need new clothes. I hate shopping for clothes, but I love my new sweaters. So...yay for that!
Last night I went to Wal-Mart for hair color and engine oil...because that's just the kind of girl I am. Haha! I ran into a guy I've known for ages. He and my brother were always best friends in school. He told me I looked pretty. It made me feel nice, because he wasn't "obligated" to say it, and he had no ulterior motives. His fiance was standing right there. I smiled the rest of the night. It's the simple things that make me happy.
Day 11: Something people seem to compliment you on the most.
Speaking of...I did color it today. Twice. *winces* But...see...here's the deal. I L-O-V-E red hair. LOVE! And my hair is naturally a light-ish brown, perhaps...I don't really remember. It's been a looooooong time since I've seen it other than in pictures. Anyway, when it grows out, my roots are lighter than the rest of my hair. So, when I re-color, I always get "hot roots". They are so much brighter than the rest of it..and I can't stand that weird color gradient I get from root to tip.Probably my hair. It can be both the bane of my existence or my crowning glory. It's pretty frizzy when it's au naturel, but if I take the time to fix it, it's pretty awesome. My fave is when I have time to curl it with a curling iron.
Not the best pic of color. Cloudy day.
My poor hair has been thru a lot in it's twenty-six years on my head. Perms, bleach, straightners, blow dryers, colors, rinse & repeat. I've done just about everything to my hair that can be done to it. If I were it...I would have abandoned me long ago.
I've been trying to be more gentle with it lately...I only blow dry in the mornings before work, and I don't used heat styling tools much...also, I go days without brushing it. And it cracks me up when people are like, "Your hair looks so nice. What did you do to it?!" And I'm like, "Err....nothing? I didn't even brush it today." Haha!
So, today, I had a brilliant idea. I put a dark burgundy on from my scalp to about mid-shaft. (Haha! I said "shaft". --Yes...I'm 12. =P) I left it on for 20 minutes and then pulled through to the ends right before I rinsed it out. It was a gorgeous color, but I wanted something brighter!
Later on this evening, I put a different color on, and it turned out PERFECT! No "hot roots" in sight! Yes! And this color I use, by Feria (L'Oreal), it's a "power red"....it will SHINE like whoa in the sunlight. I'll try to get a picture on the morrow to share.
This...was not exciting, and I apologize...but I must get to bed. I already don't want to go back to work tomorrow... Go figure.
I hope you lovelies had a fabulous weekend!
Glad to be following Kimmie. Your hair does look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMakes we want to make a little more effort. I've possbily had the same hair style since I was 12, y'know just long and hanging there. But I feel naked without my security blanket and it's good to flick when annoyed or attempting to flirt!
