I’m sick but not with Covid. I don’t know what I have but just feel terrible. However, I do not have the symptoms that Covid is described. This is my third day being sick. I hope it passes soon.
I washed my hair for the first wash. Lol! I can see my dark roots which is cool but also my white strains. I actually like it, it came out as lighter on top but darker on the bottom. So far so good.
I did it well…Jeff did it. He dyed my hair purple. Semi-permanent I used Arctic Fox Purple Rain. I haven’t wash it yet. It will be next week since I only wash my hair once a week.
I am curious how it will fade out. If it goes well, I would like to try a different color. I do miss having darker hair. I think that’s why I love this purple.
Before dying it for about three days. I used a conditioner hair mask. I got it at Walmart it was called Cry baby. OMG! Made my hair really soft. Then I washed my hair and that same day dyed it purple. By using the mask beforehand made my hair really soft even after dying it. Also, this color of Arctic Fox smelled like grapes. It smelled amazing for a couple of days.
Sometimes when I sleep I get sweaty. It’s been hot here this week for some reason. Thought it was fall. Funny! Anyways the dye didn’t come out anywhere like some other dyes I have used in my life. I am impress with Arctic Fox.
Last weekend we did pumpkins. Of course, Jeff did an amazing job. Mine well…..not so much. Lol! One of the pumpkins looks odd. I tried to fix it but it didn’t turn out too well.
I did the ones on the left. Jeff did the ones on the right. The first and third pumpkins I did, I got from my Uncle’s farm. They gave the best seeds!
Tex was so interesting in us carving pumpkins. It was funny to see him be so serious watching us. Lol!
Not a whole lot going on this week. This weekend is errand extravaganza! Going to see my parents and pick up two pumpkins my dad got from his brother’s farm. I am going to pick up some pumpkins so we can carve them this weekend. Then all that life errands like the grocery store and get some pellets for heat. I hate the pellets part they are heavy bags.
I can’t wait to see my mom I haven’t seen her since having surgery. It’s been very bad in our town with Covid. It’s like the disease is closing in here. We try to be safe as possible so maybe we won’t get it.
I think doing pumpkins will help keep my mind off it for a little while at least.
Scary: My mom went to the ER for chest and back pain. The first thing that comes to mind is a heart attack. After they did tests found out that her gallbladder was bad. She had to stay at the hospital for the night and the next day had surgery to take out her gallbladder. After that another night in the hospital and another surgery to take out 100 gallbladder stones! CRAZY!
After surgery and being home she is happy. I was surprised and back to normal. She said it was scary but now she is good. She is a silly woman. She has to go back in November to take out the stent. I am glad she is okay.
This week I had my yearly physical. I really didn’t want to go. Well I never want to go to the doctor but this year I really, really didn’t want to go. Because my town has grown so much in Covid cases like crazy in the last month.
Here is something super dumb. At the doctor’s they have an area blocked off for Covid. However to get to the waiting room to see the regular doctor have to walk in the area where potential people have Covid. How dumb is that?! Ugh my town is dumb a lot of times.
At the doctor I am normal. I say I am not. Lol! Anyways all my levels for everything is good. I am in a good health.
I did it! I changed my hair color. It was a lot of research to do it and I have to say I am happy with it.
Here is the process I did and it worked for me. First of all my hair was really healthy so that helped. Before starting the process it actually started a whole 7 days before doing anything. I didn’t wash my hair for a whole week. Then I combed my hair. After that I slept with a pure coconut hair mask the night before. I have to say that really sucked. Sleeping in a shower cap AND the coconut oil kept running down the back of my neck and back. Probably kept the mask on for about 10 hours. I got up and had coffee and didn’t do my hair right away. So yeah I think about 10 hours of coconut oil mask for my hair.
I didn’t wash it out. We bleached with the oil in. Was it messy…hell yes! Jeff was my hairdresser and I have to say he did a good job. I got Clairol professional white 30 developer and L’Oreal quick blue bleach. This was enough to do two times. I bought these items on Amazon.
I left the bleach in for an hour. Bleach eats everything and it did it’s job. But since my hair was dark to begin with it left my hair on the bit of the orange side but I knew I would need more than one bleaching. I also checked my hair after we did the first bleaching by stretching and it was still intact. Not super stretchy so I knew from my research I COULD do another bleaching.
I waited some days to give my hair a bit of breather before bleaching it again. I didn’t do coconut oil again. But I have to say by doing the coconut oil the first time the bleach didn’t burn me. I was surprised because I thought it would burn but having the oil helped that. Also my hair was soft! Soft after bleaching?! Crazy!
The second bleaching after washing my got stretchy and that means stop! So I did. I have to say my ends of my hair got dry but it’s not too bad. After the second bleaching, I did another coconut oil mask for an hour. That helped the dryness.
After the second time of bleaching my hair was yellow not so much orange. I wasn’t sure if I was going to tone it or not since I didn’t think the color was too bad. Then I decided to tone it after all. I am glad I did. I like this color of my hair.
I did, however, damage some of my hair. I knew it was going to do anyway. It was worth it to me. I decided I am going to see what I can do with my hair by myself. I have been doing a lot of research on many things I can do for my hair to bring it back. Not all the way healthy like it was but things I can do to help it. I am also thinking I may do some semi-permanent colors. I want to have fun with my hair.
Usually I am on top of writing but lately I haven’t. I’ll try to be better at that.
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband. Tuesday we have been married 13 years! I can’t believe it already!
I made these for our anniversary:
So cute! Jeff was surprised and he loved them.
He said he felt guilty he didn’t get me anything. I told him he gets me lots of things throughout the year. I just wanted to make him something.
Happy Anniversary to the love of my life!
It’s like collecting books but their video games. Yay! I got two new video games. I got Everybody has gone to Rapture and The Order 1886. The Order is a game I have wanted since it came out however it has terrible reviews. Even though the game is so gorgeous the run time is very low. For that I wasn’t willing to pay the 60 dollars back then. But a couple of days ago it came out for 5 dollars! Now that literally is a steal.
This weekened I am going to do girls weekend. Not sure what that entails this year. But I do get to see Bree and my sister Chrissy is always good.
My mom had to have surgery on her side. May years ago she had to have a shut put in the back of her head to the side of her. A piece broke off and she was in terrible pain. She said she is doing good.
We had drastic change of weather. First it was hot and now all of sudden it’s cold. Know what that means winter is coming. At this point in the year I am like whatever.
Last week I said I kept crying and I determine I was sad. I know my anxiety hasn’t been the greatest this year. It started to come back when Jeff said that he might lose some hours at work. UGH! I can’t handle all the negativity and worrying about things.
I have come to the conclusion that I need to go back to Keto. Been doing so bad this year with that. This week I started Keto again and my mood started to change. I also figured out that I need something to look forward to something. Since I have to be in my house all the time. I need something different.
This year is what I say is a double edge sword for me. For one thing, I am a homebody. Yet I don’t like to be told I have to stay in my home.
I would like to see Lori to do my hair but I don’t want to go there because of all the people that go in and out of her place. I won’t see her this year and my hair looks poopy. I hate that all my white roots are showing makes feel not great about myself. I feel good when my hair looks good.
I have been going back and forth should I dye it myself or not. Should I bleach it or not. I started to do a lot more research on what I want to do. First, maybe I give myself highlights. I researched that then went back and forth on what I wanted to do to my hair.
I have decided I am going to bleach it and I hope I can get it white as possible. If it turns out ashy I am good with that too. Not going to dye just bleach. I did all kinds of research on how to do it and to achieve the look I want. Next weekend I will be doing that.
My mood has changed more now. I feel happier that I am going to do my hair. I also lost some weight from Keto already. I can tell that I am still a bit sad but I am working on it.
Jeff had gotten a surprise for the dogs this week! He got them a bed which they have been taking turns sleeping on it.
They haven’t had a bed for a while because Tex as a puppy ate it and peed on both doggy beds we had. This cool they love their bed.
I don’t know what it is but I have been emotional for some reason. I HATE IT! I want to cry for absolutely no reason. Emotions are dumb sometimes.
I think I need to leave my house and go do something normal or something fun. I am in my home all the time well almost all the time more than normal.
Last week we got a new to us table. But it needs some TLC. We are going to sand it down and stain it. We also got some new to us chairs. They are nice and when we finish the table they all will match. The table set we have now is too low. Sitting at it for long period of times is terrible for my body.
