Brass Be Gone!

Orange you glad you're blonde! 
 
Orange is the taboo word in the hair coloring community! You just don't say it, it's almost jinxing the sacred golden locks! No one, and I mean, no one wants their dream blonde glow to brass up on them! So, here's my solution: purple shampoo!
Sally's Beauty Supply, $14

Many people have made comments regarding my hair in person. Usually, it is the day of or after I use this glorious shampoo! I personally use Clairol Shimmer Lights that I've talked about in previous posts. It is amazing! Per instructions,  you are to do a two part shampooing process to up your glow. I find this to be a waste of shampoo and time. I have extremely fine, thin hair that is a tad longer that my bra strap so I feel like a double shampoo will cause my hair to be too clean, fine and fizz like crazy! No thank you!! I leave the shampoo in my hair for about 5 minutes and then wash out completely. After the fact, I moisturize with Aussie 3 Minute Moist Treatment, it is a godsend! I do not use the Clairol Shimmer Lights Conditioner, I feel like it is a bit of an overkill. All this is key in keep those blonde locks gorgeous!!! This is the difference:

  
I only wash my hair about twice a week and at least one of those is to tone my hair, it definitely keeps the brass away!!! I love it!!

Growth, Perspective, and Silence

"Some days, I can conquer the world. Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower"- the perfect Pinterest quote! This 27th year has been one of growth and reflection. I truly thought looking at 27 year-old people then that by the time I had reached this point that I would be an independent, sexy, confident woman with this spectacular job and a hardworking stud by my side! Some of this came true, but not much! I've got the stud, that's about it! That being said, I came into this year thinking that I knew who I was, where I was heading and that I had a great man to share it all with. One thing that people normally won't tell you is that when your relationship becomes committed and you're around the other person practically 24/7, they begin to see your flaws and, if you're as lucky as I am, they begin to help you become a better person. One thing that anyone who knows us will tell you is that when you meet the beau and I for the first ti...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Like A G6

Hey y'all!! It has been a hot minute since my last post, if you noticed the blog title has changed! Very excited about the project I have decided to take on with this blog. Many good things to come!! Originally, this blog was focused on living on a budget. I started blogging a long time ago, took a long break and came back feeling like this wasn't really what I wanted this blog to be about anymore. Yes, I am still a blonde on a budget (LOL!!) however, I wanted to indulge in something more self satisfying. That being said, I want this blog and its posts to portray who I am as a person. About a month ago, I went to a new endocrinologist which is a medical provider that specializes in all things endocrinology (thyroid, diabetes, hormones, etc.). My last endo was absolutely horrible, I went once and he attempted to tell me that I am "not really a diabetic and needed to manage my chronic illness with diet, to not really worry about it". Insert blonde face palm emoji ...
