Chop Chop: Bringing My Damaged Hair Back to Life

Image
The final product My hair after the second treatment My natural hair (it was not that red, just bad lighting) being colored the 1st time I naturally have light brown hair and a year ago I decided to start adding blonde to it when the balayage technique started to become popular.  The first time (June) I had it done it looked great, but I noticed after a few months the color started to turn yellow and seem brassy.  I wasn't surprised as it was the first treatment of going brown to blonde and decided to have it redone in January.  I chose a different hairstylist as my previous one was no longer there and emphasized to her my dislike of how the color changed and how I wanted to go a lighter blonde.  She whipped up the color and my hair looked great! She even convinced me to buy a new brand of shampoo, Tea Tree, as it was a Paul Mitchell Saloon.  I had received a cut that day as well and knew there was a problem a week later when I felt like I needed another cut due t

New Years in the Mountains

Image
My family is big on skiing and this year we decided to go to Telluride, CO for New Years.  We stayed in town for almost a week and spent most of our time on the slopes.  To give our legs a rest we took a break one day and went horseback riding through the snow.  The views were incredible and although I am not the best rider I do love being on a horse!  For the town's New Year celebration they had a group of skiers come down the mountain carrying flames as seen in my last photo while the fireworks went on.

City by the Bay

Image
Hey guys! Sorry I have been absent lately I was traveling a lot over the last month and getting back into the swing of things at school.  I wanted to share my trip with San Francisco because it was my first time to this city and I loved it!!  The people were super friendly and there were so many neat spots throughout the city.  We were only there a few days and decided to rent bikes to get around the city without having to drive and pay for city parking.  This was definitely the best way to go as we paid for time up front and had the freedom of choosing our itinerary.  We also went to the Muir Woods to see the beautiful redwoods and hit up Ghiradelli (more than once I might add).  Overall it was an incredible trip and I can't wait for my next adventure!

French Fishtail Braid

Image
Hey guys! For this look, I started with a section of hair on each side of my head and began a normal fishtail braid.  Everytime I crossed one piece over to the other I added another section of hair to give it that french braid look.  Once all the hair was in the braid I continued on with the normal fishtail and secured my hair at the end.  Hope you enjoy!

And at Last I See the Light...

Image
Hey guys! Over the weekend I attended the Lantern Festival for the first time and had a blast!  It was such a great event and was beautiful to watch.  There are multiple different programs that put on this event, but here is the one I used if you're interested: http://www.thelanternfest.com.  They have events in many cities and I would recommend going!  They provided us with a lantern, lighter, marker, and s'mores kit for the night.  My boyfriend and I brought a blanket and found a spot next to a fire pit to enjoy the event.  They also had live entertainment and we let our lanterns fly around 8pm!  I hope you enjoy what photos I have and I'm sorry for the quality but I forgot my camera :(
