DYING HAIR - PART TWO

I changed my hair colour today. Finally! After weeks of thinking about, and staring at hair dyes in various stores. I used a Garnier dye, number 5 i think. Don't ask what it was called, cause i cannot remember at all.

It took me about 5 minutes to find the exact one that i bought. There were way too many brands, each with way too many colour choices. It cost be about $15.

The procedure wasn't hard or anything. Anyone could do this. At first i was all pumped and thought it would be a breeze. Then a couple of minutes into it i started fearing that i may need another set of hands or eyes to tell me what was going on at the back of my head. I had to take my glasses off as well, which just made things a tad bit more difficult. But I'm happy to say that i got through it :).

There was an odd mix of smells, at first it was a nice fruity smell then it would change to bleach. Oh and i did stain my skin. That freaked me out majorly. I had black stains appearing along my hair line, and on my skalp. I wasn't too worried about most of my skalp, just at the front. Kinda embarrasing.

While i was dying it the most tedious part was rinsing out the dye and the masque. It just seemed to take forever. I had to keep rinsing my hair until the water ran clear, but it just wouldn't run clear. So i totally killed my back trying to rinse my hair out in the tub. It still hurts like a bitch. Eventually i got it all out.

Then i was afraid that i really didn't get it all out, and it was gonna stain everything. But i fell asleep on the bean bags earlier, and no dye was left behind. All good!

But yeah anyway, after i finished i realised the most tedious part was waiting for my hair to dry so i could see if my hair changed colour or not. Gees took so long, that i fell asleep waiting haha. At least when i woke my hair was dryyyy! But, gosh, i need to change the lenses on my glasses, and this is affecting me trying to see what my hair looks like now. haha, yeah I'm totally not kidding. I have no idea what colour it is. So yeah! Like the colour i picked was still a dark brown, but obviously cause i had a darker colour the change wouldn't be the colour on the pack. So my hair's still a dark brown, but i can't see what colour exactly. Annoyinggggggggg!!!

I wanna go lighter lol, and i know I'm not meant to dye my hair again for 3 months but i don't care lol. Like i didn't do the allergy test, so sif I'm gonna care about anything else. Don't worry i will wait like 3-4 weeks, good enough right??

Anyways new simpsons on soon. Funniest Friends ep just finished lol. xx

COLOUR MY SKIES BABY

Gosh I really hate this mass of blog entries. I really need to be more regular with my blogging, it's not even like it's a big hassle or anything. A blog a day. I just need to try a might more.

Oh oh oh, dying hair tomorrow. Hopefully. If I remember to go buy dye. Worried about how light I should go so i actually get a good turn out. I'll check some stuff out on our great world wide web. I'm sure to find tones of oh so great advice lol.

Anyway, I shall keep ya'll posted on how things go.

Haha I really need to stop acting as if billions of people are reading this. Hey Andy and Reuel lol.

BALLET

Ballet is such a graceful sport. It's on my list of things I would've done as a child if I wasn't a major tom-boy. So now that I'm such a girly girl, I thought maybe I'd join an adult ballet class. It'd be great for my health as it's a form of exercise, it'd be heaps of fun, it'd meet new people (make friends, etc) and it'd be doing things to fill up my days.

I'm one of those busy people, I only enjoy life when I'm constantly busy. It makes me feel like I'm doing some worth while, and fulfilling. That I'm not just letting the days waste away.

Now, the adult bit is mainly because I don't want to enter comps or be drilled. Not that I'm afraid or anything, just that this is for fun and experience. Sports like ballet are best started at a very young age, so that your body grows around the sport and not the sporting growing around you. It just makes participating and competing all that much easier. But with saying that, it really is never too late to start something new.

Yeah so ballet in a relaxed, go at your own pace way. Love the idea. Prices aren't that bad either. These specific classes happen at Broadway (yeah i know a bit lengthy of a distance) and are $22 for single classes. There are bulk payments like second class per week is $17 extra, and my favourite, $170 for 10 classes. So yeah, my first move is to get my license, and then to take ballet lessons. YAY!

There are other things I was looking into, like French lessons and yoga classes in a group outside a gym atmosphere. But we'll get there soon enough. Oh and i want to learn how to play the violin. I'll save that story for a rainy day maybe lol.

DETOX DIETING

I know, i know it's been a VERY long time since my last post. BITE ME :). I'm sorry, I guess, just got a bit distracted. But even though I've been outrageously lazy (lol), I have been bookmarking things, so dwwww!

Anyway, back to business, if you all remember I blogged about Andrew G's blog a while ago. Well while I was surfing his blog I found a nifty little post. I love this list. It's pretty much a detox program for your whole life. So not just what you put into your body, but daily activities like the amount of tv you watch and simple things like being polite.

It's a nice little reminder of how precious life is and how amazing you can make it for yourself if you give good karma to yourself and those around you. So yes, no underage sex (haha) :).

So for me that includes spending A LOT less money weekly, spent like 4 dollars last week. So proud of myself. And yes theres probably more things, but please baby steps lol.

Oh FYI driving lesson this saturday, yay! I'm being good, seeeeee. Yeah I understand that I need to learn how to drive badly, life would be that tad bit easier yknow.

THE NAPBOOK

Reuel sent me an offline message on Gmail earlier telling me to blog about this new design that's been released at an Apple store in Iceland.

The design, created by Hafsteinn Juliusson, is a laptop bag that doubles as a pillow (The Napbook). So all you uni/work nappers out there can start jumping up and down in sheer excitement (i know i am :P). The idea is brilliant! The bags are simple yet cute, with paddy on the front flap, so you can rest your head without spreading open the bag.

So while your at uni getting bored; or at work tired of your annoying boss; or just on the train/bus on your way home, napping has become ultra comfortable.

DANCE A LOT

A friend from work, Steven, got the chance to dance at Flo Rida's gig in Sydney. The dance group that he's apart of opened up for Flo.

I found a video of it on youtube, and the routine is amazing. Everybody has to see this.

Unfortunately I don't know how to add video's to my blog yet, so I shall link everyone instead :)

IT'S A G THING

I think we were talking about Andrew G at work, and I asked whether anyone knew what the G stood for. Of course, no one knew. So when i got home I wiki-ed "Andrew G", and found out that his full name is Andrew Jonas Gunsberg, who would have thought lol.

Actually, on that note I think I shall find out what Jackie O's full name is. Woah, her name is Jacqueline Ellen Last O'Neil Henderson. Apparently she was married to a guy named Phil O'Neil, and that's where the 'O' comes from. Henderson is her current husband's (Lee) surname.

So, back to Andrew G. When I as wiki-ing his name, I also came across his blog. I know that it's not that exciting that Andrew G owns a blog, but the things he blogs about aren't lame. And he swears! (haha, yes that's my favourite bit). G even mentions that the blog has nothing to do with what he does, and that it's just a whole lot of ranting.

PLAY TIME

I was browsing through old entries on swissmiss again. I haven't been on her blog in a few weeks (maybe even a month, ouch!). But, i found a picture of a young lady on a swing that was located at a bus stops with an ad-shell. The swing is part of artist, Bruno Taylor's, projects to make public spaces more playful.

I googled Bruno Taylor, who conveniently does not have a website, and found a video he sent to Pixelsumo. Taylor is undertaking two projects, both surrounding playful spaces.

"GOOD, GOOD, GOOOOD VIBRATIONS!!"

Last night Jag Jag sent me a link to this article, about a 24 yr old women who has 200 orgasms a day. Yep, you read right!

NOT LIKING THIS

My blog lives in another time zone. It's the 1st of September (first day of Spring, YAY!!) but the blog below says the 31st of August.
ewwww, i need to fix this fast.

Gosh, so not good with this settings stuff.

Ok off to find a new timezone.

MOOLAHHH ..

So Reuel says that i need to start spending my money outside of fashion. Well actually at first he said outside of clothing, and ofcourse i rebuted with the fact that i buy shoes, jewellary, etc. Then he changed his mind to outside fashion. So naturally i said to him "ideas".

Reuel believes i should also be spending my money on driving lessons, concert tickets and comic books. Comic books, i turned into "reading materials". And i also added onto the list a camera (slr ofcourse) and a ninetendo ds (because buying wii fit will only be a waste of money lol).

I dont want to really pay for driving lessons, im only learning how to drive an auto which i can be taught from parents. Just a matter of getting lessons off them. I should start asap, get something out of the way. It'll only benefit me in the end, hmm.

So if anyone else has any great suggestions to where my money should be going, please don't hesitate to voice!
