What I've been up to

Hello everyone!

You know how I previously wrote about doing something new? Well...you might think I'm just talking and no action. And well...you might be terribly wrong too.

I say and, yes, I do! This blog is an honest place.

So, today I felt the urge to tell you what happened to me in these last few days.

My birthday was this Monday, May 5th (yei, happy birthday, thank you) and, well, I always get a little bit too emotional when my birthday is approaching. So, what did this brain of mine thought I could do?

Yes! Dye my hair! Why not?

My hair is brown and it was a virgin hair, never dyed before. Screw it, it's like the youngsters say nowadays: YOLO - and yes, I truly hate this trend, what the Hell is wrong with you people???

I went ahead and paint my hair...blue. Yes, blue. Not dark blue, not light blue, real BLUE.

Although I loved the result, it didn't last long. I went to the beauty salon this Saturday and as I write this entry, I no longer have my hair in Sailor Mercury mode - my nails are still painted blue, though.

What happened? I washed it yesterday and my hair turned green, kind of...green, lilac, grey, light blue...I don't know. It was really ugly and my hair became really sere.

So, today I lost my mind, did some search online, went to the store and dyed my own hair. I also cut it. Against all odds, it went really well. I just have to buy a second kit 'cause there's still some blue hiding around here. But I may have skipped a brilliant career as a hairdresser!!!

So, my advice to you? I don't have any idea. Yeah, of course I ruined my hair, of course I eventually became really annoyed with all the stares I got and, yes, my money burned for nothing and my fabulous blue hair only lasted three days. But you know what? I'm not sorry, not even a bit 'cause it was really cool while it lasted! Just like a really messed up relationship or a meal that you know will put you in the bathroom for hours. But in that moment...you just really want to be blue!

So, who am I to give you an advice? I can only say, do something different, but think about it for a while, measure the consequences...especially if you're thinking about getting a tattoo! There's no ink in the world capable of erasing that. Yeah, I know there's laser but that is expensive, it really hurts and it might not even do the job.

See you later, alligator!
