Silver hair **Updated**

Good evening all and hope everyone is having an awesome week so far. Only a couple more days and the weekend is here again. I can't wait. Tomorrow I am going back to the salon again to keep working on my silver hair. I have been trying to go silver since I made the choice to try the color. I have been all kinds of fun and different colors from purple, blue, red, pink, turquoise and now the metallic family. I currently have metallic pink. Lavender, blue and silver in my hair. I started with mostly silver which wouldn't stay. To get the hair silver it has to be white, you can not have any darker or yellow tones it must be white and it was so damaging to the hair after all I have done over the years I lost some length and still haven't had a successful stick on the silver end. That first time when it was mostly silver I had purple in it the purple stuck but within a few weeks the silver had faded from my hair being striped so much and having no color it was just dropping that color any time it got wet or styled. 

My hair colors over the last two months. Before this I spent two months removing a red ombre from pinkish red, red to violet dark red almost burgundy tone. Very angry I didn't do the silver when I wanted, last summer I removed my blue ombre to go silver but had to have a peach orange to counter the blue that didn't want to remove, the peach orange was almost gone and I went red on a last minute whim liked the tones, felt like darker would be fun but now kicking myself. It's good it was time to trim the hair it had gotten so long it needed a fresh start. Looking forward to the silver being bold the first week. That's the best time for the color, considering going a darker silver so it will fade slower and be the silver I want maybe longer and have added some silver due to my shampoo and conditioning products I do use when I wash at home. 

I loved my second colors with the link, purple and blue metallics that have a really pretty almost pastel tone to them. I had the grey again for my main color and the fun colors as low lights sort of. Now I'm back to having some blonde, not as much as the first time but have some. My main focus is my roots, I was attempting to go ombre and have the balyage look but I don't like the contrast of my blonde roots with the silver hair. Considered doing the darker grey roots but then would have to lift more and I am trying to stay away from removing color or lifting(bleaching) the hair. 

I will update this with some photos and my after pics from my appointment I have tomorrow. Excited to have her lighten and match my roots using silver. I also love the Fusio dose condition treatment she uses from Keratesse next to Olaplex it's the best. Olaplex is still my favorite and probably the only reason I have the hair I have and it's healthy. Having an amazing and talented stylists who cares not just about how it looks but the integrity of your hair and maintaining a healthy head of hair in the end. Excited and will post pics tomorrow. 

Hey there and happy almost Friday, it's only 9 minutes until friday and I'm excited. Looking forward to a beach weekend and some retail summer shopping therapy. As promised got my hair done today and not only colored it but my stylist did an amazing angled bob. The underneath of my hair was the most damaged from my last color transformation from red ombre to now silver and metallic colors. It only made sense to leave the back short and take off any length I tried to hold onto with a thin top layer that looked okay except after a few days of not washing then it looked off, anyways have her bob that in the back then leave the front long but with an angled cut. She texturized my cut and added some shape to the area around my face as well. I love my hair and it is getting healthier every trip to the salon thanks to my stylist, Kenra dyes, Olaplex and Fusio Dose by Keratesse. 

We finally lifted my horrible roots that didn't want to take the dark grey even and we didn't want to lift right away and have the overlapping to damaged areas touch and cause worse breakage on the top, which thus far has remained in good shape. My amazing stylist coated the already lightened pieces with some conditioning mask and Olaplex, then she painted on the bleach to the roots only on the crown of my head, very front and sides in front. The middle and underneath is staying for now since it's the damaged area underneath I am trying to rebuild the most. I miss my length I won't lie, but it is refreshing to have a cute and short hair style. I loved the longer angled bobs similar to mine a few years back but my hair was long and refused to cut it. Now that over bleaching and coloring one area has left its mark it is time to leave that hair alone and let it grow it. This cut is fun and stylish. Looking forward to braiding the linger front parts. 

Some Selfies

Managed to catch a cold my little one had late last week and over the weekend. Hubby brought it home from work and now I guess it's making it's way through the house. Wanted to drop in and post a couple selfies I took yesterday and today. Working on getting better at my selfie pics and these didn't come out bad. Yesterday I actually took time to put on some makeup. I am getting my hair colored on Friday and can't wait, right now it's a little messy. Hoping to kick this cold fast, we leave for vacation next week and I can not wait. The mountains have been calling me and we are going finally. Haven't been since this time last year and I am looking forward to that fresh mountain air. No better place to recharge and relax. Thank you for dropping by and please feel free to comment below or on any of my posts. I love to hear from everyone. Enjoy the photos and outfit details. Xoxo, ✌️❤️

Wearing my Pebby Forevee tee I posted over the weekend. It was on repeat for Monday morning with my favorite JCrew jeans. Loving these jeans so much. They are so comfy and I adore ripped jeans. My favorite style is ripped jeans and a cute tee. 

Hair is still blue and purple, going Friday to get my color done before vacation and will be sticking with blue till the summer. I think over the summer I am going to go back to pink since I had purple last summer. We will see, I always change my mind about my color.  My color is from Pravana and I get it done at Rock Paper Scissors salon in Plantation Florida. 

Worry less and dream more, what a positive message for this Tuesday. Battling a cold so threw my hair back in a bandana and slipped on one of my favorite tee shirts from Hope for Humanity Apparel. 

Got my sweats on and my messy hair, should be wearing my sweatshirt that says I support sweatpants and messy hair lol. But I am loving the message on this cute tee. It's also very cozy. 

Hope everyone is off to a great start for the week. I am excited for St. Patty's day next week and leaving for NC the end of the week. Off to lay down and battle this head cold. Make sure to do what my shirt says above, Worry Less and Dream More. Till next time ✌️❤️

My many shades of hair color

For those who read my blog regularly you know that since I started this blog back  3-4 years ago, I have always had fun colored hair. The artist in me loves to express my personality through my hair. I don't wear make up and I am not much of girly girl, more of a tomboy type, but I love hair color. For me I express my love for art and music through my hair, clothes and jewelry. 

I love heavy metal, rock and absolutely love going to concerts. The louder and crazier the better. I have always dressed in ripped jeans, lots of black, studs, leather and skulls. I was wearing skulls and ripped jeans as a teen. I also was dying my hair lol. I am blonde so it is easier to change the color often. 

I have tried every color and many different dyes, I have done it myself and now have a professional do it because it lasts longer. I use pravana hair dye now and the pigment is so much brighter and holds longer. Two summers ago I went from just dying the underneath layers to doing the ombré all over. I loved it and have been playing with different color combos ever since. I have dyed my entire head and I had the black underneath with black lowlights and white blonde highlights for a couple years in my mid twenties, it got very popular so decided to go to a red and blonde then got pregnant so just went natural. 

After I had my daughter I wanted to go super blonde so I started bleaching my hair myself which lead to boredom with it all being one color, that's when I started dying the fun colors myself again. The store bought dyes don't last and usually wash out a lot the first rinse. I started looking for a colorist and eventually my business baking led me to a party one night that I had a table set up at and I met a lady that was doing the hair for the fashion show for the event, she gave me her card and I eventually went to see her. I had not let anyone color my hair since before I was pregnant and the lady who did color my hair for ten years had moved to Texas. 

I started out just adding lowlights to add some pigment back to my hair along with contrast because It was super white blonde. After a few months I asked her about adding some pink and the rest is history lol. Like I mentioned above I started with just the underneath layer, then led to two layers one pink and one purple. Two summers ago as soon as the school year ended and I knew I didn't have to worry about people thinking, wow look at her, lol I went ahead and did the ombré. I had her dye the underneath purple and then the ends of all my hair a ombré purple. It came out amazing, I had the perfect blend of lilac, purple and then a bright darker purple on the ends. 

I kept that for almost two years adding some orchid, which is a pinkish purple. I loved it and then after this passed summer I decided I wanted to try the blue shades. In the passed I have posted many photos of my hair but got some recent shots of it that look pretty good. With the blue it is harder to see in photos the true colors. The purple was a lot easier some shots it would look more pastel but then some shots it would look really vibrant. 

If you are curious how I continue to lift my hair with out losing it or ruining it, my hair dresser introduced me to Olaplex, they have three products, one you add to the bleach when stripping or lifting the base, to help protect the hair and make the process be able to stay on longer without burning the hair, step 2 goes on after color to seal, protect and make it look amazingly healthy, and step 3 is a take home product you can use to continue to help reverse any prior damage. I highly recommend this product, it can be pricey but worth every cent 

Here are some shots from previous posts:  

 

Those are the pravana vivids purple ombré. I got this color done in March and it lasted till October. I got more compliments on my hair over the two years I wore the purple and pink then any other color I have done. Will probably go back after this summer. I stopped worrying about what parents at the school or anyone would think, I love it and enjoy it, so I am going to rock it. 

Below are some photos of the blue shades and you will see it either looks super bright or dark. 

This shot above you see more of the purple but this is the blue not the purple, I do have purple in it and even some pink still that didn't come out, plus she blended the underneath with purple, a royal blue and neon blue, then have some pastel and neon on the ends. 

Here you can see more of the blues and some of the purple. I use to wear my hair straight always but the coloring made me start to curl it, braid it and wear it wavy. 

Here it looks more of a dark almost navy blue. 

Funny I posted this photo on my IG and heard rumors I was being accused of touching up my photos. I don't have airbrushing or any editing software on my iPhone lol, barely have room for my photos always deleting photos and apps. I have pic tap go and vsco which you can add a filter or adjust colors etc but I don't touch up my photos and all of them are taken on my phone. This is the lighting, this shot was taken in front of white doors, with one over head light, it appears to be very bright and washed out my face. I laugh when people accuse you of retouching your photos because they don't have photos recent of themself and use old photos always. I promise I am not airbrushing or touching up my photos it lighting. I hardly ever wear makeup either, only for special occasions or if my face is breaking out which happens once every couple months. Also I have been accused of getting Botox lol, yes I have a post on here about my migraines and that I now use prescription Botox for the control of my migraines. It has been a life changer but it does not change my look at all. It is applied to the hairline, two shots between my eyebrows and the rest of the 34 shots all together are in my head, neck and shoulders, not my face. I have joked with the doctor about giving me some extra shots but he does not administer Botox for cosmetic reasons only for medical reasons. I am only 37 and I have always had a younger face, I take care of my skin and only issue I have since having kids is sunspots I get if I don't wear sunscreen daily. I always laugh when people have to act like high school even as grown thirty something women with kids lol. I don't have time, back to my hair, just wanted to clear that up really quick. I am horrible at taking selfies and practice more now that I post more shots of myself on here and my IG. I wish I could touch up or retouch some of my photos lol. 

Here you can see in the above photo some of the color but on the black cardigan it looks almost navy blue. My hair is super long, I am growing it as long as I can, hard because my hair is a lot of work but I am trying not to flat iron it or blow dry it like I use to, and let it just be so it can heal from all the heat styling snd color damage.  I have super strong hair trust me, it has been though a lot lol. 

The above photos are hard to tell the color due to the bright light, light hides a lot of things and can mask a lot of things but it can also change the appearance of colors. 

I took this shot outside on my patio when the sun was going to down some and not as bright, I am in the shade under a covered patio but this is the closest photos since I had it colored months ago in October, of the actual colors. 

As you can see it is fading on the ends but the middle section is still super bright and vivid. I love the neon blue, and pastel blue, of course the purple also. The purple is my favorite of all the shades I have used. 

 

Some of the blonde hair around my face has had some slight bleeding of the blue, which I worried about because if you are or have ever been a blonde green is not a color we want lol. I don't think anyone wants green hair, lucky for me mine is more of a turquoise or teal shade. 

I will be getting my color done in the weeks to come and decided one more go with the blue, I want to try just the pastel and neon blue. Ty for reading and if you are wanting to do this to your hair I recommend going to the salon. 

Wore my hair curly today have had it in a braid for a week or so probably since I have been cleaning or working around my home. Got lucky and captures some almost true to life color to show you. Finally lol 

Fun fashion tee so suiting and new hair

Haven't posted due to my health, have had a lot of tests scheduled and been going through a lot with horrible side effects. As of right now my neurologist is looking at MS. Have had many symptoms for years, around five to six but recently my vision and balance along with numbness on my left side has been scary and hard to deal with. 

Also have had the usual drama of immature stupid acting people. We all know by now if you read my blog about the issues I had with a female that led to me hiring a lawyer and having to go to court. She is persistent I will tell you that. I don't like to look at anything she does cause I don't want her to think I am stalking her lol, which she already claims but from time to time your curiosity can be peaked or she posts a comment on something I see from someone I follow or a page I follow on social media making reference to me or something I have done. Most recently saw a photo online posted by someone she seems to be clingy and weird with like she was with me, but actually making fun of a item my daughter got for me. I just had to laugh. Wanted to defend myself and even posted some old photos of a denim vest I had gotten in the spring and a cutting board I have had for years because I believe she is trying to make this girl think I am stalking or copying her now. It is all insane honestly. Have seen posts about how this girl originated the flat lay outfit posts lol, and is the original never duplicated often imitated lol. I don't know about y'all but I have done that since I started posted outfits and items I purchase and I just happen to have wood flooring. I didn't have it installed to copy her lol, and sure didn't get the idea from her didn't even know of her and still don't really know her. It's just funny, immature and narcisstic to me. 

So many women are so quick to say hey she wants to be me, she copied me, I did that first! I call BS! We have all seen things done by others and gotten an idea or inspiration. Either way wasted enough time on that subject just want to vent cause I am so over it. I blocked this new girl awhile ago when she had posted a photo or was featured on a page and I had made a comment about the photo then later saw the stalker was commenting also then looked and saw they seemed to be close, I don't trust anyone she talks to or associates with so I had blocked her and then funny not long after the stalker and this girl, I will call her the new me lol, cause she likes everything this girl does and I'm sure has bought and done a lot of the same things lol, well she blocked me cause when someone had mentioned to me that this girl had all these mean and immature hash tags and she thought it may reference me or whatever with the stalker then I wanted to take a look but was blocked. It is weird though cause when j search certain hash tags for pages I follow to like photos her photos will show on that because I have accidentally liked some so now I always have to look lol. The entire situation is a downer cause this girl doesn't even know me and 100% for sure she doesn't know this stalker girl at all or if she had any sense she wouldn't even associate with her. If she knew the lies, insane staking and things she has said she would never want to be friends with someone like that unless she also is into trying to ruin peoples lives, marriage and stalk their kids along with do everything someone else does from buying same clothes, items, doing same hobbies and flat out copying to the exact things people do. 

Anyways lol sorry I get in these venting moods and sometimes can't stop. I can't talk much about it really cause I don't want to even give her or the entire immature situation any thought but sometimes you just want to get it off your chest, especially when someone is lying about you and playing like they are the victim. So many times I want to defend myself but than I think why. I know I didn't do anything wrong, my husband and anyone who is my friend all knew and know she is not right and my lawyer is taking care of the legal stuff always for me. Better to just take ten seconds to breath then move on. 

This post wasn't to vent was to post some photos of my new hair and then a tee I wore today which is so suiting for the day and my mood. Tee was inspired by several ladies I follow on Instagram. A lot of the new tees I have gotten lately have either been something I saw on etsy or eBay or from Instagram. I follow a lot of teachers who are knot fashion and wear a lot of super cute tees along with other amazing ladies who are super stylish and know all the good shops. 

Good Vibes only tee is from Mulberry Press Co. And again seen by sweet sugar bliss scrub on IG and many other ladies I follow. Was my first purchase from Mulberry and was so in love the style and fit of this tee versus many others I have ordered just placed another order last week so more to come. 

New hair done by Deb at Rock Paper Scissors. Added some shades of blue from Pravana. One shade is from the pastels, one from the neons and the other from the vivids lines. Love it
Some of my purple and pink stayed in the front and kept a little of the dark purple underneath cause I like contrast not all one shade. 

Will have more photos of my hair soon, it is hard to capture the color with the camera.  Also have orders coming this week. Since I have been sick been online shopping and have a lot of packages coming this week. Found a cute rock, papers, scissors tee on clearance and had a discount code from Banana Republic I ordered while at the salon with my hair lady, also some cute Vigoss boyfriend cut, destroyed denim jeans from Nordstroms that were on super sale and saw my hair lady's amazing pair had to search, find and order. They are so cute. Couldn't find same exact pair but found two pairs similar. Loved the cute and look. Then ordered from Be Still & Know finally, had been trying to order a tee since months ago when I saw my friend from Sweet Sugar bliss post a photo of the tee, then also ordered some other cute ones cause they had just restocked, for months all the tees I wanted were always sold out when I went to order. Also placed another order with Mindy Mae's, Old Navy and eBay. This week will be a fun week of fashion mail, then have julep and birchbox. I canceled my daughter's Ipsy because e had enough bags after two years and then she wanted Julep so let her take over mine and I just kept my birchbox. Out of all the boxes it is my favorite has the best selection of items and since I don't wear makeup really other then some lipgloss and nail polish, I like birchbox the best.

Think I may try the bark box for my puppy Piper eventually. Enough rambling for me going to wake my hubby, who had surgery last night and is recovering at the hospital, he has been sleeping a lot this am but was up most of the night in pain. Ty again to everyone on FB and IG that has sent prayers and thoughts to him and our family. Been rough to see my best friend, love of my life and our rock laid up. He never had to have surgery so was scary but he was a champ. 

Off to spend time with him. Have a great day and will post again when it is possible.
