Feeling like Ariel

I was felling like a bit of a change today. Sent James a picture of the colour I was liking. He said go for it, and so I did. It has turned out a lot redder than I was planning, but I love it. I feel like Ariel. I shall be off to find my shell bra and brush my hair with a dinglehopper.

Haircut

I got my haircut yesterday. Really it was just a little trim, nothing major, but I always feel the need to document it. I love the little spruce my hair has been given but hated 99.9% of the photos I took to show off how nice my hair looked. In my eyes I was having a 'fat face' day. This is the only picture I kind of liked, notice how my face is mainly covered.

It was lovely having the day off though. It was very relaxing. :) I look forward to more rostered days off.

Humidity

For what has felt like the last month my hair has been looking horrendous, well, I've felt like it's been looking horrendous. It wasn't too bad tied back...but it was frizzy and pouffy and would kink in all the places it had been tied back at. I was not liking it, and put it down to the humidity in Sydney.

We have recently been fluctuating in temperatures here in Sydney. We've had days were the temperatures have gotten up to 30 degrees centigrade, and others were the days have been as cool as 15 degrees centigrade. The humidity, however, has been happily sitting at 60% plus, some days getting as high as 85%. So it's been humid. It sucks. I can definitely say I HATE humidity. I can see no benefits of humidity. It makes things hotter and stickier and so much more uncomfortable. I shall melt away this summer...

I hadn't put my hair problems entirely down to the humidity until we went back to Canberra this weekend (which has a humidity of 40% throughout the weekend) and my hair was back to it's usual gorgeous self. I did the obligatory 'google' for hair in humidity and found that soma anti-frizz shampoo should do the trick. Sure enough, my hair is now back to its former glory! Yay!

A little chop

I've had my hair long for about a year now, and that's a long time to have my hair a certain way. I was bored of it. So I got it cut to a bob. A messy bob. This is what it looks like. I LOVE it, I just hope it looks just as cool after I've washed it and left it to dry naturally. :)

Do you ever get bored of your hair being a certain way?

Haircut

I've been needing a haircut for a while, so I got one! Hehe. My hair was starting to look all flat and lifeless, like it does when there are no layers near the top, so I got some more layers put in. I like but hate going to the hairdressers. I can never decide what I want to do with my hair, and I hate the pressure of making a decision, but I usually love what I end up with, so it's all good. :)

Another chill day today, all that walking really did take it out of me. :P We're enjoying watching a whole bunch of Doctor Who. James hasn't seen most of the new seasons, so we're watching them all so he understands everything when the new season comes out and I make him watch it with me.

Rapunzel

From Disney's Tangled.

The two girls I do conversational English with LOVE hair and playing with it and styling it, like seriously LOVE.When I started working with them I still had my long hair, to my mind it wasn't very long, but it was long. I met them with my hair tied back, but when I took it down to re-tie it the girls faces were so very similar to those of the girls above. They then continued to tell me how long my hair was, asked if I had seen Tangled and begged to be able to style my hair. Hehe.So when I saw the image above, and remembered the scene in the movie it made me think of that moment. :)

I got a hair cut

My hair was pretty long, and I was bored of it, so to the chop! :D Very happy with my cute little cut, not too long, not too short, just perfect!

PLUS! I also booked my tickets to Australia, and was granted my Working Holiday Visa! :D Yays!!! I was jumping around the house last night in excitement! Good times!

Plaits/Braids

Plaits/Braids are apparently IN this Spring/Summer. This makes me very excited, because I love plaiting my hair when I am bored, and I love how cool plaited hair looks. I really want to learn to do something cool with my hair that involves plaiting...so for inspiration I browsed through weheartit.com. Here are some of my faves:
I'd love to be able to do this last one...so cool!

Hair

So on Thursday I dyed my hair...and now that I have an exam tomorrow I think it is the ideal time to share some photos! They aren't great, I mean I somehow look scared in the first photo below...but oh well you get the idea of the colour, right? It's not exactly the colour I thought it would be, it looked paler on the box, I think, maybe I was seeing things, but I do love it anyways! It feels more grown up, or something, I'm not quite sure what but I do like what I see when I look in the mirror, so that's got to be good. :) The above photos gives you a better idea of the redish tint, the bottom two show the kind of darkeness in contrast with my face. :P I'm just rambling now. What do you think?

In terms of mathness and being prepared for the exams I think I can definitely pass, and once I look over a few more things (ie. do question practice to make sure I can do them, because knowing the stuff is never good enough in maths) then I think I can get 60%+ which will be good, I would be very happy with that. :)
