I can't take it anymore!!!

So. Yeah.

I'm tired of being dark brown.
Really, I'm not that dark. I keep choosing colors that pretty much look just like I was born with them and this one is no different.

Thanks to the lovely Jo (Her Blogies) who advised me to use the "L'oreal Dark Brown (Natural)" as opposed to the L'oreal Dark Chocolate Brown (Warmer) as I was (because I wanted to erase my natural reddish tendencies and really go BROWN, not red) I actually got a more dark brown.

The one I used "L'oreal Dark Brown (Natural)"

And then I used WEN . No offense to Chaz Dean cause I loves him and he's too adorable but... it washed the color out so I'm left with more of a Dark Chocolate Brown (as in red highlights and caramel are showing up more than dark brown). Oh boy oh boy.

More of what it turned out to be NOW. After messing with the Wen. "L'oreal Dark Chocolate Brown (Warmer)"

Is it because I did anything wrong? Oh no, not at all. I just LITERALLY watched the brown run down the drain the day I used the Wen, which made me sad. Still love you Chaz! And the products as they're GREAT for the dogs hair. hehe

The color I'd used previous to this one was - the above. Loreal Dark Auburn. It turned out pretty good, but I like the Dark Brown Soft Mahogany color I'd used from Garnier even more previous. lol Yes, I've been playing with colors. This is a video I made while having the Dark Auburn color in my hair.

As you can tell, looks good! But... I'm not an "auburn" girl. At least not the dark one. Too something for me. Don't know what, but nah. I'd gotten loads of compliments from the Dark Soft Mahogany I'd used though.

But...

I was born a REDHEAD.

'nuff said.

But I'll keep saiding...

It's true. I don't feel myself in browns.

THIS is what I am talking about.

Now THIS is a gorgeous color and I LOVE it. I've just never been brave enough to try it.

I was too scared to go this bright

until now...

I mean why not play?

I LOVE to play. Don't care that I'm above 30. I love to play and will always play.

Boo to you if you don't want me to.

I'm bubbles after all!

I'll always look 16-21 and always will I be playful.

She started all this. Even though that's "technically" not red. It's a burgundy, plum, ruby. But I still love her.

I saw the ad for something in the paper, talking about the show Sharon is in, The Talk, and I mourned my red hair

[pause to mourn for a sec]

So... drumroll please.

I'm going back to RED.

Boom.

Can't help it. I feel like hiding as a dark brown haired person.

Not. even. kidding.

I am too LIVELY to be dark brown.

To untamed and WILD!

Too vivacious!

Grooowwwr.

Not to mention the Irish blood screams for RED HAIR... as I've got the pale skin, freckles and naturally red-ness to my hair to prove it. Red always wins out with my hair colors and it BARELY fades out. Look at the box above and the video after. That was months after it'd been done and it still held a lot of the colors.

You wanna know who I am?

I was born a redhead.

'Nuff said.

Loreal INTESE dark red ;)

Stay tuned!

Okay and if you want get all technical I WAS going to get Colorsilk Dark Red, but on the box it said Medium Red color, not really a DARK red, and hey, it's winter.

And double technically you could say I'm a chicken and I chickened out of too bright for now.

I'm staying dark and working my way up people, working my way up.

Not to mention the whole "colorsilk" was a meh. I like me some L'oreal.

Garnier I lost a chunk of hair.

A CHUNK people.

Yeah. No.

But I'm still sticking with box dyes. Easy + less time-consuming to mix and do = I can do!

Otherwise I'd never get my hair colored.

My fun time people. My hair = my showcase. lol

My hair is extremely healthy thanks to this new Miracle in 10 product I've been using so it don't look like I even have been coloring my hair. It's healthier now thanks to L'oreal than anything. Love. Them.

Short and all over, but I've been wanting to get something up for a week and haven't, so I'm doing so now.

xoxo

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's GBE is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me. That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even. She said: "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life." Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works. A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
