Getup Threads

I'm at work and in a super fantastical supurbulous mood today! Prob b/c I talked to one of my bffs last night and he made me realize how truly blessed I am right now. I've been kind of moppy and miserable in LA since I've arrived but never downright sad. Having a constant gloom over your day to day life can be tiring on your mental health so it was a refreshing change!


Anyways, I've had an interesting day at work today because my boss bought a new puppy (he's 90 lbs but i still think he's a puppy) and he's entertaining as crap. He sits, rolls over, plays dead, and high fives. Their first dog dislikes the puppy so he's been sitting in my lap all day...

This is Joey, the jealous baby of the family

Here's a hair post too, I feel so Dorothy Dandrige today, and I'm sticking with it.

Coming up Soon:

Until 2morrow...

Getup Threads

This isn't exactly an outfit post but due to my lack thereof I figured I'd post a hair post! I'm staying at my sister's place while she's on here honeymoon because it's dramatically closer for me to go to my internship. I woke up at like 7 as per every other day but didn't have to wake up until 8:30!

So what did I do-Easy! Watched Saved by the Bell reruns and played with my hair.

This is the perfect look after you've rocked some beach waves for a few days and want to change it up and show off your summer glow! 

1. Comb through your hair with your fingers to get it smooth and in order to remove some of the frizz. 

2. Put a small amount of product (moose, gel, serum) in your palms and rub it from your forehead to your crown along your roots in order to prevent frizz and is maintained throughout the day.

3. An inch behind the top of your ear take a square centimeter of hair (make sure it's a long piece and not a layer) Comb and straighten if necessary. 

4. Tightly braid the piece to the end and fasten with a rubber band (using a rubber material is better than a fabric scrunchie in this case)

5. Tease the crown of your head and secure all of your hair in a pony tail without the braid.

6. Take the braid across your head and secure with a safety pin on the other side!

Tips:

Tuck the braid under hair so the rubber band isn't seen and secure with a bobby pin.

Tease and curl pony tail if needed for more dramatic look.

I hate the fact that I can never find fake braids in my hair color and this was my quick solution. My only complaint was that it was one of those days where you look supercute but no one sees your outfit. Oh well...I did!

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?
