To be fair, I’ve always been blonde…it’s just gotten “dirtier” over the years. I hadn’t dyed my hair in almost 10 years due to a college dorm dye job gone wrong. The goal was a silky Katherine Ross and I ended up with a rough Joan Jett. Ever since then, not one color alteration has been made to my head. Now, being an adult (or attempting to convince people that I am) I have a real job and can afford to pay someone who I don’t share a bathroom with to make my mop less dingy.

My trip to Hawaii back in the fall followed by this long and extra cold winter resulted in my need for a perky summer vibe and I decided to take the hair color plunge! Voila!! I’ll be honest…right away I cried because it looked so different, but I’m really glad I went for it. The lightness and brightness soaked into my seasonal depression and has perked me up a bit and I’m currently loving the change.
