Hi guys! I've uploaded another video onto my Youtube channel! Win! Click on the video for more information on the products I talk about. All of them a really inexpensive and great quality.
A change in the weather means a change with the hair.
I've always wanted to go blonde and finally took the plunge yesterday!
I was going to go to a hairdresser but figured it would be cheaper to try myself first, so I took myself down to my local Sally's and picked up loadsa bleach and salon hair dye.
(L'Oreal Majirel in 7,3 and 9,0)
Two glasses of wine, several feet of foil and a few hours later I had a new install with loadsa help from Mama DOS.
This hair is the same hair that I've been wearing since January that I brought from Ali Express, you can see my initial post HERE.
It's been through alot (I know the ends look a bit dry but these pics were taken before I had deep conditioned after all the bleaching) but it's still standing and well worth the price, I don't think I will be buying hair from UK suppliers for a long while!
I'm also wearing a closure purchased from H Closures.
I didn't bleach the knots and yet it still looks lovely and natural, I will see how this pans out after I've worn it in as my last closure couldn't deal with my lifestyle!
In other news I've been really getting into filming videos for my YouTube channel so feel free to check out my latest Summer Beauty Favourites video below!
This week has been an absolute whirlwind, I have barely had time to catch my breath.
2012 seems to be a year of huge changes.
I've never been too good with change so I'm finding it slightly difficult to cope but I am trying hard, I've felt so blessed this year, it has been unbelievable!
In my last post I was feeling sorry for myself, my job was coming to an end and I had nothing to look forward to except weeks/months of unemployment.
In the space of 24 hours that all changed,
to cut a long story short, I am on my way to getting a full time job and I am now back on radio with my own show!
I'm not going to lie, I am scared shitless...the responsibility is HUGE, I have contemplated just giving it all up on various occasions but that would be way too easy.
So I am just taking each day as it comes in life.
This week I felt as though I had taken a few steps back with my life by engaging with people who are not good for me spiritually or mentally but God always has your lessons lined up for you, I've learnt, and I now know that I must close the door on them and look forward.
I'm excited and nervous and scared all at the same time about everything, lol, but I know I am blessed so I can't go wrong.
One of my friends posted this quote by Lao Tzu on Instagram which I thought was quite fitting:
"If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present."
I totally agree!
In other news if you are a regular reader of DOS you would have noticed the change to my layout which was done by the gorgeous Gillian of Elevator Musik.
I'm absolutely loving it, it makes my blog an easier read, that paired with my new cam means that posts will be a lil bit more effective visually.
You will also see that I am creating more beauty based posts, this blog was not intentionally made for beauty but it is something that I am beginning to develop an interest in and it feels comfortable to me so please stay tuned for more beauty posts!
Anything you want to suggest that I review or try out please feel free to leave a comment below or email me:
