First, let's start with my hair. This is my natural color -- look near the hair line and at the roots. Yes, that's fairly color accurate.
And this, is what my hair looks like now, after dyeing it red:
As you see, it only dyed the areas that were virgin hair. And this, kids, is why you want to lift your old dye before you put in new dye. The look is actually starting to grow on me, though. The color is Ion Color Brilliance in Dark Intense Red Blonde 6IR-66.66, used with Ion Color Brilliance Creme Developer. I used a 1:1.5 ratio of color to developer and processed for an hour, though you're really supposed to use 1:1 and process for up to 45 minutes... but I know from experience my hair doesn't take color well, and requires a bit of extra coaxing.
Also, I am still in love with my nail color:
You can see some tipwear, but that's to be expected after a day at the beach. plus this manicure has been going on 4 days now. I do put on a new coat of top coat though, whenever it starts looking dull. My nails currently hate me after a week of polish remover abuse, so I think I'll probably keep this for a while.
Also, toes!
I LOVE this 89 cent polish. (I'm currently into bright creme shades.) It's Surf's Up by Sally Girl. Two coats over 1 coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails for a base, plus Poshe top coat. It is my personal belief that all manner of horrible nail polish formulations can be remedied or at least compensated for with a good top coat.
Also! I mentioned I had been busy cleaning my room lately, right? Well, here's a "before" shot of my room:
(Okay, technically, that's a "during cleaning" shot, but I assure you, my room wasn't much better.)
Here's an "after" shot:
Quelle difference!
I found some absolutely incredible things during this massive clean-up project. For example, this thing:
I defy any of you to find a more hideous sweater vest on the face of this planet.
Alright, enough rambling. Here's a random FOTD for good measure:
God, I love those Guerlain kohls. The end!

Congrats on the cleaning, what a transformation! You are so pretty!
I had search products for controlling the hair loss. But no good results came. But when I found IHT-9 the herbal hair regrowth shampoo from the website www.iht9.com , I start applying this and within few weeks, I am actually getting my hair back. It’s really a true herbal shampoo I have ever got.
