Early in the summer I darkened my hair and added blue, but eventually I got bored with that and wanted my ombre hair back. I loved it, I'll be honest. But since I have yet to find a fantastic hair stylist in Japan I decided to just do it myself. At least if I screwed it up I had no one to be mad at except me, right? That was my logic. Plus I've been doing my own hair for years so I figured I could handle it. I found really easy instructions here and just set to it. Jess helped me when I needed an extra set of hands or eyes. I'm pretty sure I could have done it alone but it would have taken me longer. Anyway- long story short, I'm quite happy with the results. What do you think?

I used to have purple hair. Then one day I had to change it for a job (stupid job- except not because that's where I met the husband). Then I was going to dye it back but Aaron and I got engaged and I figured I'd keep it classic for the wedding. But I reached my limit and it was definitely time for a change. So I dyed it all dark brown and left a random blue streak, just because I wanted to. I love having unusual, original colors in my hair- and Aaron is crazy for the blue so I can't complain. Oh, and my handsome Twink baby got a haircut for summer. Tell me he's not adorable.

What awesome hair colors do you like to have fun with?

I don't usually do outfit posts. I'm kind of terrible at them. As you can see... this is more of just a shirt post. But this is a new shirt of mine and I absolutely love it. One of my favorite sayings is "get lost in love." And Aaron and I go and do just that. Pretty much all the time. Yes, we're THAT couple. And we're kind of annoying. But I digress. When I found this shirt I had to have it. Since it's terribly hard to read I'll just tell you what it says.

"Let's find some beautiful place to get lost. Lost in love, lost in life."

And because I love you all, I'm going to share with you my super awesome secret to rocking pigtails.

Step 1. Shower & Air Dry your hair 

Step 2. Decide you're too lazy to bother styling your hair in any way

Step 3. Decide you're sick of rocking the messy bun

Step 4. Decide that two ponytails are more fun than one

Step 5. Look like a 5-year-old for the rest of the day and ignore any strange looks you may get

It's that easy. You're welcome.

She chopped it. And it's still way longer than mine!

Out with the old...

In with the new...

I miss the purple already. But it's time for a change and I love this look.
