First of all, I highlighted my hair! And by that I mean that I colored it because it looks completely different than before. It should have been highlighted, but basically I'm blonde now... yeah. But I really like it! It is still taking some getting used to. It freaks me out every time I walk past a mirror hahaha But it is a great color and it is perfectly done.
It looks a lot lighter than that in real life...
My gramma actually did it right here in her kitchen! She had colored my hair before, so I wasn't worried in the slightest. She had picked the color because she has an eye for those kinds of things and then she just sat me down in a chair and went to work! It was kind of fun, though kind of embarassing... Good thing no one was around but her and grampa!
Also, it's a good thing we didn't take any "before, during and after" pictures because I was hideous, let me tell you. The "during" picture would have been particularly vomit inducing. I wasn't able to see myself, but I can only imagine what it looked like because I know what it felt like. I probably looked similar to a depressed sea monster or a perplexed alien life form. Man oh man, I had hair sticking up everywhere, wearing that ridiculous cap that you have to put on to pull the strands through, wearing no make-up in my baggy pajamas. Yikes.
It turned out way lighter than I thought it would, but I like it! And it's perfect for summer :)
There we go, that's more like it haha
The other big change of the day: I got a smart phone!
I never thought this would happen. Honestly, I was sure I was going to be using dumb phones for the rest of my life. Turns out, that's not possible because now there is only one dumb phone available and the rest are smart phones... Times are changing my friends.
We went into the store to upgrade my gramma's phone because she was due a new one. She wanted to trade it in for another dumb phone because she doesn't like change or technology. But she didn't like the dumb phone that was being offered so she started considering smart phones. When they went to figure out how much it would cost them, it turned out to be cheaper to put me on a data plan and have us all have smart phones than just them two! Plus there was a BOGO on smartphones going on that day! So I got grampa's old (not so old, it's actually really nice haha) smart phone and then he got a really awesome one and my gramma got her's for free! Wah-hoo!
Though it's really frustrating switching to something new... I don't know how to do anything on a smart phone! So that's what I've been struggling with for the last couple hours. Plus, my contacts didn't transfer over like they were supposed to... Luckily they are all backed up online, but I can't get them to transfer over from there either. Guess I'm just going to have to go type them in manually... Joy! On the bright side though, this is the perfect time to clean out my contacts list :)
There is always a bright side my friends :) I'm a happy camper!
Manda! I love your hair!!!! Being blonde is kind of fun.. isn't it? And having someone dye your hair is always fun too! And a smart phone? Look at you. Now I'm practically the only one left in the world with a dumb phone, haha. But it's probably because I'm not smart enough to know how to utilize everything a smart phone can do! But you look gorgeous honey :) As always!
