Hair Identity Crisis: Part II


Back in February I wrote a post about my "hair identity crisis". Hopefully you've read it, if you need a refresher or if you missed it you can catch up here: Hair Identity Crisis

My mane was, and is still, going through a massive amount of changes this year. Though my undercut is not completely grown out, I am finally content with my hair color. As I had previously posted I had dark brown/black hair for all of my 20's and I wanted to go back to my natural blonde roots. 

The process all together took about 9 months because I wanted my hair to remain healthy and continue to grow. I am extremely happy with the end results, after stripping out some of the dark allowing it to grow out more, toning it and finally putting a gloss to get rid of orange tones I look like my old self.

Now all I need is Rapunzel long hair to experiment with braiding and I'll be set ;)

Christine and the Queens


If you're a lover of all music like I am you'll appreciate Christine and the Queens. Christine (birth name Nantes) is a French singer/songwriter who happened to blow my mind last Saturday. My adorable father came across her one late night on MTV Live and decided he needed to see her himself. Her music is not a typical sound to the average American ear but I think if you're a fan of Michael Jackson you'll see the similarities in her dance style and beats. Even my S.O. is not a huge concert person no matter the music type but he really enjoyed Christine and the Queens 

Besides the amazing show I witnessed the Theatre at the Ace Hotel was unbelievable. The architecture inside - the walls, the mirrors, staircase, and ceiling... all just jaw dropping. It was hard to capture a great picture due to the dim lighting but if you're ever in Los Angeles I highly recommend checking out the Theatre and the Ace Hotel itself.

Check out my favorite song Tilted from Christine and the Queens below.



Share in the comments your favorite music so I may broaden my musical horizons.

Fall Humbug


I feel like I am the only woman not excited for fall. 
I don't do PSLs (or Starbucks in general for that matter), I don't wear my Uggs out in public and I'd much rather not wear 15 lbs. of clothing to stay warm. 
They say Fall is "here" but in California it's been hotter than it was all summer with triple digit temperatures. Next, we don't get the leaves changing colors and all that fun the East Coast gets. The weather suddenly decides to gets colder and because we're spoiled anything under 65° and I'm freezing. 

Although... despite my Fall Scrooge-like ways I will admit I'm excited for three things

1.) Halloween... it's literally just around the corner, anything that pertains to the holiday has my inner creep doing back-flips.

2.) Thanksgiving... it means lots of food (and time with family) and that makes my inner fat girl cry tears of joy.

3.) Pumpkin Seeds... I really like baked, lightly salted pumpkin seeds.
