Confidence Boost

Published on by RooLeave a comment

Today was a good day for my confidence. I absolutely love my blue hair and how it makes me feel. Even though my nails and skin match my hair, I feel like I can take on anything that’s thrown at me!

When I was waiting for the dye to take, I had a lot of time to think about everything that has happened over the past few weeks. I thought about everyone in my life and how they have helped me grow into who I am today. I am so grateful for everyone who I hold close to my heart and I can’t picture my life without them.

Since we’re on the note of being happy and grateful for what we have, I reached 41 followers! I am beyond excited to know that this project is continuing to grow and that you guys enjoy my writing. Blogging has always been an outlet for me, and I’m so happy that I get to share it with so many people!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Deep Blue

I’m now a blue-head girl! I decided to dye my hair blue again because it’s my favorite color, and what better color to get back into dying my hair than blue! I also dyed part of my face, my hands, and parts of my arms!

My hair is still wet, but when it dries I will definitely be taking a ton of photos. I ended up using Splat hair dye, which I haven’t used since high school, but I am extremely happy with how it turned out.

Now, with blue hands, I am off to do some work!

Blondes Have More Fun

Published on by RooLeave a comment

The first step of changing my hair has been taken! I covered my head in bleach and now I’m blonde (again)! I won’t be for long, though, for tomorrow I will be adding the mystery color! The only thing I can say is that I’ve had this color before and I’m very excited to revisit it.

I’ve truly missed the art of dyeing my hair, and I’m happy that I’m back at it! I find it strangely relaxing, and with my anxiety, I could stand to do more things that relax me. I’m not going to lie and say I have the toughest life, but I tend to get overwhelmed which causes me to stress about everything.

Outside of bleaching my hair, I got to spend the entire day with my lovely mom! We went to breakfast and just hung out. I love spending time with my mom, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I hope everyone had a great start to their week, and here’s to surviving Monday!

Another Change

Published on by RooLeave a comment

Gather ’round everyone and I’ll tell you the story of my hair. It all started when I was 13 years old and my mom was dying her hair. She asked me if I wanted some highlights, and from that moment, I was hooked!

I went from copper blonde to black, and almost every color of the rainbow. For the past few months, I was tired of always having to cover up my roots. Being a natural brunette is a pain in the ass when you want to go lighter. I, however, need to switch it up. I’m addicted to putting on a ratty shirt and putting chemicals in my hair.

I’m going to be bleaching my hair today, but I’m not going for blonde. I already know what color I’m going, but I’m going to keep that under wraps until it’s done!

I’m really excited to be getting back into destroying my hair and standing out. I realized that I need to be myself, and having crazy hair is apart of that.

Happy Monday everyone!

How Romantic

Published on by Roo3 Comments

My morning was very relaxing and lighthearted, filled with videos and music. As the day moved into the afternoon, I was surprised with a beautiful candlelit lunch containing the healthiest of foods, because I deserve it. Am I the only one that craves fast food when they’re sick?

After I ate my meal fit for a queen, I did the only sensible thing: I watched Friends and took a nap on the couch with my kitties. By the time I woke up, my mom got home and I wish I could say I spent time with her, but I was so tired that I fell back asleep. She wanted me to go lie down in my room because it’s not good for me to sleep on the couch (I have back problems). Did I listen? Nope, why would I? Why would I listen to something that makes complete sense? No matter how old I get, she will always be my mom and I will always be stubborn. I love you, mama, and I’m sorry that I’m always a pain in the ass!

As the day comes to an end, I realized that I actually had a good Valentine’s Day. I never thought I would say this, but I actually don’t hate this day as much as I thought I did. I learned that not every holiday has to be this big event, it just needs to be fun. With that being said, I will never give up my big Italian Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day, no matter what you did.

The Day is Here

Published on by RooLeave a comment

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I hope everyone woke up to flowers and gifts… or your cats trying to smother you. I woke up to cats. My mom gave me a beautiful card, which truly made my day!

Today will probably be spent going around the house eating, and having a few drinks because I’m an adult. I will try to take this day at face value, but I’m kind of looking forward to tomorrow where all the candy will be on sale.

I hope I treat myself right today and get myself everything I want! I think I’ve earned it. Today is a day about love, so why not love myself?

Waiting for Tomorrow

Published on by RooLeave a comment

I truly can’t kick the nausea, but I did figure out what’s happening for Valentine’s Day. On top of wearing my pajamas all day, I will be watching videos, napping, working and eating… so the usual. I will enjoy my time and maybe I’ll fall in love with myself all over again!

As much as I dislike the idea of people having the one big date on the same day, there is something appealing about it. I mean, it doesn’t have to be some huge amazing night, it can be simple. The whole point is to spend time with each other, right?

I hope everyone sleeps well and wakes up on Valentine’s Day with a smile. No matter how you feel about the holiday, just try to love yourself as much as you can. Give yourself flowers and candy, make a nice dinner or even take yourself out. You deserve it!

Valentine’s Day Eve

Published on by Roo1 Comment

Well, it’s that time of year again. Love fills the air and everyone runs out to buy anything with a heart on it. I have never really been into Valentine’s Day, especially after I got to a grade in school where there were no in-class parties.

This year, I’m having a pajama day, party of one. I honestly don’t know what I will do outside of wearing pajamas, but I’m sure I’ll come up with a few things throughout the day. Maybe I’ll call a few friends, or play a game.

To anyone who celebrates Valentine’s Day, I hope you have an amazing day no matter how you plan on spending it. To those who don’t celebrate, however, have a pajama day with me! Maybe if enough people wear pajamas on Valentine’s Day, we can get it changed to Pajama Day.

I hope all of you have amazing plans for tomorrow, pajamas or otherwise!

Flu Season

Published on by RooLeave a comment

I was productive, and then I wasn’t. I took a short nap because I could barely keep my eyes open and I woke up extremely nauseous. It’s been like this for about 5 hours now. It’s almost like I’m motion sick and I need everything to stop spinning.

Even though I’m sick, something great happened. Two years ago, I was in a car accident that really messed me up (I will probably go into details in another post later on once everything settles down). Today, my case was settled and I couldn’t be happier. It has been a long road for me and my family, but it’s finally done with and we can move on.

I’ve looked back on the past couple years and I realized that life doesn’t get better or worse, it just changes. There are good parts and bad parts, but that’s just how life is. No matter what happens, it’s just a learning experience.

I hope I will start feeling better soon so I can keep pushing forward. I will get back into doing fun things and taking pictures so these posts don’t seem so empty!

Happy end of Monday everyone!

Too Many Choices

Published on by RooLeave a comment

I expected the hunt for a new theme to be easy. I thought I would scroll for a little bit, and then it would leap off the screen and latch to my face until I picked it. “How hard can it be?”, I thought. Very. It’s very hard.

I found about 5 themes that I like, and they all provide different things. Now, I get to enjoy trying all of them and going through a process of elimination until only one stands. Seems simple enough… if I was actually capable of making a decision. I am extremely indecisive with everything. My mind is cluttered with “maybe”s and “what if”s. If there was a way that I could use all of them, I would.

The plan for the rest of the week, outside of everything else, is to choose a theme for the blog. I’m hoping that I will be able to do so in a timely fashion but, knowing me, that’s not going to happen! I’m determined, though. I will choose a theme no matter what.

Tomorrow is going to be filled with phone calls and work, so I will be trying on new themes in my down time! I can’t wait to see who the final contestant is!
