Because my hair had looked completely fucked regarding it’s color, I thought it was time to go back to the basics.
I really loved the red hair, but it was so damn hard to maintain and I didn’t do a proper job of it. So it was just much easier to did it all black. I basically cover the red and the roots with the black dye. The proper way to do it, is by removing the old color first, which I obviously didn’t do but it still turned out fine.
Wee~
We finally did another family photoshoot and this time with proper equipment! I’m so happy with how the results turned out. In this post I’ll only show the pictures of myself, but if you want to see the ones I took of my family then check out my photography portfolio 🙂
For these photos I adjusted the camera settings and gave my mom a quick framing course and then she took the pictures (except the one with my mom, that my sister took).
At work we sell these new fitness equipment, so we had to take some photos for our data sheets.
And because no one wants to model, I did it. Then I had my colleague take the photos.
Hey guys,
It’s been a really long time since i posted anything or even uploaded a video to YouTube. I’ve mainly been busy working full-time job as a graphic marketing assistant. A month has passed since I started working at my new job and for some reason it has really taken a toll on me. I feel like there’s a lot of stuff that I want to do, but I’m so tired when I get home that I don’t really want to do much besides slacking on the couch. Though I do feel like I’m slowly gaining my energy back, so hopefully I’ve start working out again and make time for all the stuff that I want to do 🙂
This was just an extremely short update, so you guys don’t think I’m dead or anything. I’m still here and I’ll keep trying to make some videos, they just won’t come out as fast as I had planned.
Oh and by the way, I dyed my hair blond with Dark and Lovely’s Fade Resistant Rich Conditioning Lightener in shade #384. I’m still obsessed with both blond and red hair so… yeah. If I had only done more research before I’d bleached my hair a few months back, I would have used this, because it did a great job! 😀
My hair has grown very long over the last past months and after I bleached it, my ends split more and just looked plain dead. That’s why I finally cut off all the dead hair, even though I liked my long hair.
But if I want it to be healthy and grow again, I needed to cut if off. I did the haircut myself, so that’s why it’s maybe a little bit uneven.
I actually think I look better with shorter hair (I know it’s not really short or anything). Oh, I’m still sad about the red color vanishing… I’m really thinking about bleaching it again and maybe doing the whole hair… but I’m too scared to do it and afraid I’ll mess up my whole hair… I’ll do some more research and see if I can find some alternative method or something 🙂
It’s been a year since I decided to lose weight and began exercising. I’m baffled by how much have happened, how much weight I’ve lost and how much more confident I’ve become.
It’s like a new and better me. I’m still not exactly where I want with my weight on the scale, but I’m very happy with how my body looks now.
To celebrate my one year weight loss anniversary I took a new picture of myself today. And yes, it’s in my underwear again. I don’t own any bikini anymore… I’ve spent all summer going from store to store to look for the perfect bikini, but I found none.
The one from the left in my old bikini is before, a year ago and the one to the right is taken today. I’ve gone down from size large to small in tops and from xtra large to medium in leggings and from UK size 14 to 10 in dresses.
I like my body so much more now and I’m actually very happy with it. I don’t mind what the scale says, as long as I maintain my weight. Still, I would like to lose 1-2 kg to reach my goal weight.
I suddenly noticed that I don’t have any t-shirt and tops that fits me for when I start work after the summer holidays. I then went on a little shopping spree with my boyfriend a got some new great things, which I’m really excited about.
It’s always hard for me to buy clothes, because I like to feel comfortable in it, so I have to try it on before buying it. I also have a weird thing with how tight the shirts are around my bust, so, yeah, I don’t really know why. But sometimes tops can just irritate me so much that I end my taking it off and grabbing a new one before going out. If I don’t feel comfortable in my clothes, I become tense, frustrated and annoyed – which is not fun so I try to avoid that.
Anyway, here’s the new stuff I bought 🙂
A turtle neck ribbed midi dress in a gray color. I like this one very much and I’ve been obsessed with it for a few weeks. It’s in a size medium (they didn’t have a size small and I don’t think it would have looked good anyway). It’s from Pieces.
A turtle neck top that is SO fricking soft, you won’t believe it. It’s black-ish or dark blue-ish. Lately I’ve been re-watching Friends and I saw Jennifer Aniston wearing a turtle neck top just like this one! The episode was from 1998, lol. It’s funny how fashion from the early and late 90’s are coming back now. It’s also from Pieces.
I also got these shorts – my very first pair of short in many many years. The shorts (size medium) are from Messenger while the three tops (size small) are from H&M. Just so I had some basics, because I love basics so much, so comfy.
This is the last top i bought. I usually don’t like a loose fit around the bust area, but this one was shockingly comfortable. It’s in a size small from H&M.
I’ve had my first pair of training shoes for just over a year and they have always been uncomfortable. I only bought them because I was unsure whether I could stick with my training routines or not (when I decided to lose weight). They were also cheap, so the quality wasn’t really something to jump for.
I then finally decided to buy a new pair, a pair or Nike Free TR 5s in the ‘breathe’ edition. I actually wanted to design my own pair, but I’ve never owned Nike’s before and because I didn’t know how they would fit me, I decided to go down the safe path and bought some pre-designed.
And they are great! Never have a shoe fit me so perfectly. It’s like it was made for my foot 😮 They are so light-weight and it almost feels like you don’t have any shoes on. It’s a pleasure to work out with them. I’m so happy with these.
I got them i a blue/teal color. My boyfriend says they are green… are they green or blue? I see baby-blue.
My boyfriend is turning 22 today! Weee~ It’s also his youngest sister’s birthday, she turned 10 years.
I finally made a dessert I haven’t made in years, that my boyfriend had requested me to do for his birthday – Chocolate Mousse. So I went all in with the dessert and I decided not to think about calories or anything like that. Yeah for a ‘cheat’ day (or maybe two..) :p
