Blah, Blah, Blah

I can't say that I'm sorry I haven't been posting the past few weeks. Some times when you write things down in a fit of passion you regret it later, and especially for you my dear readers I find that the things I say are engrained in me and on this blog. 


The past few weeks have been a transition to say the least. I've spent countless hours gushing over my precious niece who will be 5 months next week and the rest of the time at my internships (and the tiring commute in between.)


They say when one part of your life is perfect, the rest has to wreak havoc. I don't know if that applies to my current situation but it's definitely close. I'm making it a priority to blog once everyday for the next week regardless of what it may be. Over that time we'll get some perspective on life and transition together. 


I'm in an optomistic mood today especially because I'm wearing these amazing vintage esque (Nordstrom Rack) shoes that I got super cheap and are still full price at Nordstroms! Cha-Ching!








Me bored and waiting for my bosses to show up. But more on that later. 


Until 2morrow....

Falta Epica-Day 2

I decided you can't see the extent of my epic fail on the last post, so here's a better picture. Normally I would hide away for days until it was fixed...but I'm in a rut. 

Simple as that.

Since I've been looking for a great picker upper all day, I decided to try and put a smile on other people's faces. So my dear friends, hope this makes you laugh!

I'm pretty sure it'd be cheaper to dye my eyebrows rather than my whole freakin head. 



Let me know if it put a smile on your face!

Until Tomorrow...

Falta Epica

I understand that everyone has their beauty fail stories, and I've had my share of epic mistrials. But today I thought that I was a seasoned stylist who would have no problem dying my hair really quickly at 11 p.m. I didn't want to wait another 5 days when I planned to wash my hair again so I figured why not? I've dyed it at 10-15 times before (including once when i had a dark red lions mane and once when I highlighted my flyaways blonde.) 


Can we say EPIC FAIL?


I have naturally medium brown hair that I loved. I say loved because I haven't had it that color since I was 15 when I got the afore mentioned bleach blonde tiger stripes. Ever since then I've dyed my hair every shade of brown possible. No exaggeration: auburn, mahogany, ash, caramel, chocolate, maroon, umber, sienna, sandy, orange, and everything in between. For my sisters wedding I dyed my hair a dark chocolate brown and decided last week that I was going to go back to a light brown. 


I got the urge today after some great news (keep ur fingers crossed and I'll let you know asap) so I decided to get my mom to dye it. Mind you she's dyed it 75% of the time when I do it so that was not the issue, the issue was when I decided to listen to her about how to treat it after. 


Mistake 1: I normally leave it in for 25-30 mins, I left it in for 45-50
Mistake 2: I normally resume normal activity while waiting, I turned the fan off and tried to get my body temp up.
Mistake 3: I didn't shampoo it out (I know you're not supposed to but with my hair it's always worked better if I do)
Mistake 4: I didn't fix it when she left my roots in extra long


DRUMROLL PLEASE...............



I'm a mess, I can't dye it for another week because I don't want to damage my hair. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix it? What crazy things have you done to your hair?
