I pinked my shag again!

Well, ok, it might not exactly still qualify as a ‘shag’, but, it is definitely layered! And I have once again added pink to it! And I have a young friend up in Canada (Hi Alyssa!) who recently had some pink highlights put in, as well! And so I tried to do a ‘dedication chunk’ to her, but, I discovered that it was really tricky to get a ‘chunk’ of hair colored when your hair is so layered. I did it as much as I could, though. Here’s my ‘Dedicated to Alyssa’ chunk:

Ain’t it pretty? I just love that shot! I only wish the chunk had been from the top of my head down, but, that was two separate sections of hair, because of the layering, and so I couldn’t figure out how to do it without making a big mess!

And here I am, being a total weirdo, stretching up so you can see the pink chunk:

That wasn’t working so well, so that’s when I decided the closeup would be better.

And here’s just me:

Hopefully, you can see in that shot, there’s a good bit of it in my bangs, too. And then I did the highlights very softly all around and a bunch on the tips. I like the way it came out.

It’s so much fun to do, and it gives me such an uplift to my spirit. I really enjoy doing stuff like that to my hair – it just perks me up a bit! And it’s so easy on the checking account, because, since I’m only doing highlights, and my hair is now short – I got to use that same box of color around four times! So that is definitely cool! If I had to go spend $65 every time I wanted this done, it would be such a bummer! It’s fun to have it done professionally sometimes, but, I sure wouldn’t want to pay that all the time!

I’m needing to update my look


I was thinking last night and today that I might trim my hair and color it again. And then I came across the coolest new online tool to help me decide what I want to do to make myself over. It’s called MakeoverSolutions.com and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! I could do that just about every day! What a fun way to try out new looks!

I had a little trouble, because, my hair wasn’t pulled out of the way completely – so I had to pick a hairstyle that had hair on my face. Ok, here, let me show you what I mean:
See how I left hair on my forehead on the right side, and how you can see the length of my hair – so that limited my choices of what I could pick. But it mostly limited me to choices I would have picked anyway.

Don’t I look cute!!! I have wanted to do purple highlights for a long time! And now I’ve finally gotten to see what it would look like. I’ve done pink highlights plenty of times, in fact that is what I have in my bathroom right now that I was considering doing tonight. But I haven’t done purple ones yet, and I think they would look so pretty!

It was so much fun putting on the makeup and so amazing that it landed in the right spots, with so many obstacles in the way. The biggest of those I think would be the way that my left eyelid sags, but, the makeup still looks pretty good! That was just so much fun! (Did I already say that?)

This software was so detailed, down to shape of your lips! It was so cool, and there were so many things to add and do. I mean, just for lips, there was lipliner, lipstick, and lipgloss! I only used lipgloss, because, that is all I do in real life. And there was celebrity hair and just plain hairstyles. And then, of course, all of the color and highlights and lowlights. Oh, and you can make the hair wider and higher, if need be.

The details are just awesome – this was just a ton of fun!

Expired face threading

Ok, it’s more like my hair just grew back, but, my face threading has expired!

When we were in Dallas, my sister-in-law, the coolest ever chic on the planet (Hi Tracy!) asked me if there was someplace in particular that I wanted to go while I was there that she could take me to. And as we’d already had food from my favorite vegetarian Chinese restaurant, the next thing on my mind was face threading. There is a nice little place right by Tracy’s house that does it for a very good price!

If you are wondering what exactly face threading is, check here: Threading (epilation) Wikipedia, I just love that site!

Well, so anyway, I just noticed yesterday, that my eyebrows are starting to look a bit scruffy. That is a long time! That is totally awesome!

I am going to have to start doing some investigating and see if there is someplace around here that offers this service! I absolutely love it!
