pink hair don't care

i have always wanted pink hair. or lavender hair. i would take either one. with going to byu, this was impractical and generally against the honor code. there was NO WAY i was going to bleach out a strip of my hair, and dye it the color i wanted. i was absolutely not going to do that because i have very strong feelings against it. so, after much contemplation, i realized i was going to be away from work for almost a whole week during the fourth of july, and that was the ideal time to do it. all i needed was pastel chalk and water. unfortunately, right after you do the chalk in your hair, it's the most unmanageable beast in the world, but that's also when the color looks best. boo. i have this thing where i absolutely have to be able to control my hair (whether it be the cut, styling, or color), so this gave me major anxiety. however, having pink hair rocks. the chalk washes out pretty fast, and I did this on july 1st, and my hair still has a little hint of pink. i'm in love. and if i ever dye my hair brown/darker, i'm totally trying out lavender. that would be sick!

a thing or two-sday

just a little thing or two because it now takes me 10098x longer to do anything that a normal person would do. why? you ask? well, remember that little fall i had saturday night? well...

i think i reached a true burrito of sadness status when we got to that second picture,

but i am so grateful for a big brother who can give me a blessing and for great roommates like whitney who help me put my hair in a ponytail.

and finally a picture of my hair. like i said, it's not that different, but there's my hurs. happy tuesday!

summer

and it's snowing and snowing and snowing and snowing...

and i needed a little bit of change with these January Blues, but bangs are a pain to grow out, and i know if i cut my hair i'm going to hate it in a month. and i'm going to get married if i cut my hair. i have a very, very logical explanation for this. basically i've convinced myself that because i like short hair, but i would never want to have short hair when i get married or at other significant and highly photographed events, i will end up getting engaged or something as soon as i cut my hair. it'll be one of those meet and get engaged in two week deals, i'm convinced. and no one can convince me otherwise!

and i am really good at talking myself into making rash decisions when i'm supposed to be watching devotional (i blame whitney for part of this decision)...

so i decided to do a melt on my hair (that's when your hair is darker on the top, and then progressively gets lighter as you get to the ends)

about one and a half really stinky hours later (bleach smells awful) 

it worked! 

i was a little nervous about doing this to my hair this way because it kind of takes technique, but I watched a a bunch of youtube videos (ok, just one. but i did read like 2 articles), so i'm pretty sure i'm an expert. and i was just going to go even blonder at the ends, and i'm already pretty blond, so it couldn't be that drastic of a change.

it was really fun because kimberly was there, and she has these new headphones where you can't hear anything. you can't hear yourself singing, it's the best! so you put on the headphones with your hair wrapped in tin foil and all you can hear is the music pumping through your head and you can see your roommates making fun of you, but you can't even hear yourself, so it doesn't matter! we also went to this food place called cubby's. they have sandwiches, and they are SO good. go there sometime. and maybe decide to dye your hair and it actually will make you think of summer, because now the blond in my hair is what my hair looks like in the summertime after it's been bleached out by the sun, and I didn't have to get sunburned or more freckles in the process, which is pretty great!

*i'll put pictures of my when i take them

BANGS.

So I decided I love my bangs now and I don't have to pin them up until they grow out. Haha. I have personal issues with my hair. 

This morning I woke up to snow!!!!

it's not very much but it's snow!!!!
