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!!

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...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

South in your Mouth

This morning, like every Saturday morning, I get up with coffee-induced strength and make my sweetheart breakfast. He's a lover of pancakes and sausage but ever since we moved in together, I have been slowly expanding his palette. I probably have one of the pickiest men in the South! I think I've complained about this before, I'm sure some other ladies can agree! Well, our house has been quite a whirlwind and so this morning I wanted to make a hearty breakfast, with the cold front coming in, today definitely called for it! Bradley recently joined the Eustis Gun Club so he wanted to be up bright and early to get down there. The things I will do for this man! I tell ya! However, there is always time for a Saturday afternoon nap so I got up after morning snuggles and him obviously turning the heat on (let's face it, I wasn't getting up when it was 64° in the house, he's a smart man!). I decided to make homemade biscuits and sausage gravy! Now, I know most Sout...
