hair update! ombre DIY.

my ombre hair turned out perfectly. It looks a little jacked up straight - but when curled it's perfectly rachel bilson. super proud of myself! again  i used L'oreal quick blue bleach - it comes in a foil package - and mixed the whole package with 2 oz of volume 20 developer. i mixed it in a hair bowl (the ones stylists use - i dunno what they are called) and used a brush from sally beauty supply (where i purchased all of this) to paint starting from the ends to right below my ears. i watched my hair and let it sit for about 8 minutes - then repeated today and let sit for 10 min. i also made sure to paint a few whisps on the top of my hair - they are very subtle, but help blend in the bottom. so far loving it - hopefully i will be able to post pics! note: mine is not this orange/light - but it's still amazing via google images

CSN STORES GIVEAWAY! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I received an e-mail from the lovely Jocelyn at CSN Stores. Being an avid online shopper I quickley pinged on over to the CSN website. Um...amazing. There are literally 200 stores that you can peruse for  your home decor, style,  pet and fitness needs - stylish and affordable  dining room table  anyone? Cute doggie bed for the family pup Griffin? New set of cookware to bribe le boyfriend Adam into the kitchen? I think yes!  Since Adam and I will be moving into a more grown up apartment next year I've become obsessed (yes, overnight) with    http://www.diningroomsdirect. com/ . I'm literally fantasizing about what our chic new abode will look like - and with the pretty price tags I'll be able to pretty much buy all new furniture!  If you're in the mood for shoes and purses head over to their luxe site - Appropriately named www.luxebycsn.com  There is something for ALL of you! And CSN Stores was kind enough to give me a $20 gift certificate to give away
Obsessing over Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" I know it's so dorky to say - but her songs just speak to me. They are so rateable, she's so nice, she's so pretty. I can't help but be obsessed with her.  "Dear John" - I wonder if it really is directed at John Mayer.  You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain And I lived in your chess game But you changed the rules everyday Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone Tonight Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young to be messed with The girl in the dress cried the whole way home I should've known Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand And I'll look back and regret how I ignored w

ombre hair. a tale of a not quite oopps.

Ok so like the video below I tried the ombre hair technique. I mixed L'oreal powder bleach with 2 oz - with 20 volume developer. In other posts I've seen people have used L'oreal perfect blonde highlighting kit and other the mix I did but with 30 volume developer. The higher the number the developer - the most blonde you will get. Well I started with the left side of my hair and got so worked up that I flaked a little bit on the right. So, I'm going to need to fix it. Also, it's not as light as I wanted. Below is re-blogged from  http://schoee.blogspot.com  I really wanted to get the results she had. However - I think I need to reprocess. I need to brave it out and leave it in longer. 20 minutes the first time (I only did 10) and then 30 minutes if not blonde enough. I'm loving the look I did get - it's beachy and sexy! This look is super easy to achieve it just takes patience - and super cheap! I'm so proud!

on weight.

Per Usual www.kiribiegoestohollywood. steered me in the direction of an article that strikes a sincere chord within me. Thank you Maura Kelly for apologizing to those you offended. But wouldn't the world just be a better place if we worried about weight for health reasons only. I'm so vain that if I feel like I'm having a fat day I feel tortured by going out in public. I obsess over being too fat at 5'9" - I wear a size 27 or 28 depending on the brand of jeans. My work skirts are all size 6. And your article just made me feel overweight. Thank you for apologizing, but you are still a bully. I give you kudos that you were able to write a piece that is entertaining, but being able to bore the backlash will be the true test of your character. And shame on Marie Claire for cheering for the girls, giving us style tips and pushing us to dress thiner and for our figure - and then throw this in our face.  I work out 4-5 times a week, eat like a gerbel, and still find my
