And Finally...

My new hair kinda... so far this is the only photo of my new hair, I misplaced my camera charger in the big move (should really look for it) and my mac photos just don't do it justice. Not a great photo to show it off but I was pin-curling this morning and Emil snapped me like some paparazzi all up in face!

It's been red for about 3 weeks now and I'm soooo much happier with it then blonde. I used Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL in Red Passion over bleached hair, my roots are growing great but I think I could of needed two bottles to get a good over all cover because my blonde is starting to come through. Sorta makes it look like natural highlights but am going to give it a second dye before starting work on monday just to even it out.

catching up

At this current moment I'm snuggled up on the sofa with a suspected case of tonsillitis. I am feeling bloody terrible but at least it has hit me now while I'm on a two week break before starting my bank job. I have been really pathetic about snapping photos to pop up here about my recent activities but over the next few days I will try my best to change that. Until then I thought I would illustrate my current routine with the help of Duane Bryers' sexy pin up Hilda.

Lots of sleep in my very wonderful bed.

Im slowly getting settled into the new house. My parents dropped by last weekend for a few days which was very lovely but caused a bit of chaos to the unpacking of our room. I don't want to put up photos until I'm happy with it.

Cleaning fun and cutting corners.

I excitedly ran out of the house to greet my much missed parents last week and the first thing out of my mammy's mouth "Yeah, that hair colour really does make you look sick" and with that it was decided we would dye my hair red. It was a bit of a shock change but I now love it, just hope the new boss does too. There isn't a photo to show off my pretty red locks but as I'm sick and covered with spots that will have to wait.

Quality reading

I have only been working four hour shifts over the past three weeks so I have been cramming in lots of reading. M-Train left behind a few books when she moved home so I decided to add them to my ever growing stack of books to read. One that made it to the top of the pile was A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, yeah the one with all the whoo-ha surrounding it because Oprah felt lied to. I really loved it, perhaps because I knew not to take it as truth but I found it a good read, so cheers for that M-Train.

Loving my bike

And finally I have been cycling pretty much every day for the past few weeks and shock horror the weight is falling off me! who knew that could happen! This makes me feel very happy.

The day it all began a very long time ago

A giant salute to mammy-pie and daddy-o for bringing me into this world many years ago today! I have had a lovely birthday filled with baking fun, big surprises in the shape of one Miss Elle and foodtastic times. Just wanted to really say that my peeps are all so sweet and thank you for today and all the rest!

Obsessive musing

So I finally managed to go and get myself a job, a real proper one! but with the much needed money and sanity comes a downside... I can't have pink hair while working in a bank. As a result of this horrendous realisation I have to seriously think about what the hell I'm going to do with my hair. For quite a while now I have dreamt of having Marilyn Monroe bleach blonde hair with candy floss pink highlights. Over the past few months have been trying my hardest to self dye it, but alas my ginger Irish roots seem to want to crush my dreams. I could save to go to the hairdresser but having my mum as a personal hairdresser for years seems to make me dislike the commotion involved in sitting in a salon chair. Last week before starting my other new job I topped up my bad home dye job with the palest blonde I could find yet still no luck. I have had to restrain myself from putting my usual pink in my hair and as a result I am slowly starting to hate my hair. So this leads to what I have seriously been pondering.... will I dye my hair red. This will mean a big bye bye to Pinky which makes me sad but I think with my new job its time to mix things up a bit! I have been cherry red before and I think it will suit me a lot better then this orange blonde I'm suffering with. This one thought is beginning to consume me.

I'm sorry I'm a little late

I don't have proper access to the internet at the moment, as with the rest of my life I'm still mid move. I have so much going on like bills to sort out, interviews to be awesome at and many boxes to still unpack. I was hoping to have something good to post like my pretty new room or nice new dresses but instead its just a list of reasons why I can't. So i should be sorted by next week and be able to post until till then stay classy San Diego.
