I Dyed My Hair COOL Colors!! (Also, Fibro Does Not Like The Process)

Sunny happy Sunday!
Today was very relaxed.  We went to Wegman's to get me lunches for the week and then to Sally's Beauty Supply for hair dye.

I love Wegman's!  It is wonderful but the NEED to get Good Belly products so I can keep on my reboot plan.  I still have a carton, so I am hoping I can find more later this week.

(Anyway, back to the story of the day) I have wanted to get my hair colored to fun cool colors like purple and blue for a while but the cost is prohibitive.  Thanks to friends on FB I was directed to Sally's for options and I was very pleased with what I found.  THANK YOU JEN!

We got home and I made myself a cup of tea.  I made a large cup of my personal blend Sturgeon Moon from +Adagio Teas.  I love the cool and fruity taste of rose hips and pina colada - so is the perfect cup.  I keep having the thought that I might have to buy more of my blends since I think I am drinking those faster than others (who would have guessed I liked the tasty tea blends I put together with mostly my favorite flavors? hehe).

Anyway, so it takes forever to bleach my hair and my scalp HATED me during the whole process.  I wasn't having a reaction but my head sure hates that feeling.  Thankfully the +Splat Hair Design kit works quickly or I would have been unable to get through it.  My hair has a red tone to it, so there is always a bit of copper color left over when I make my hair blonde and I didn't have the patience to try for white platinum hair.  I am pretty sure my scalp is thankful.  So I applied the Color Brilliance Brights violet and cyan dyes after I had let my scalp rest a bit.  There is no peroxide or any other painful chemical in the color dye and it went in well.  It is a semi permanent color cream.  I AM SO HAPPY with the end result and am excited to do this more often (the color not the bleaching).

Anyway, the whole process took some time and my body decided to protest in several ways, my right arm went completely numb at one point and then half way through trying to clean the bleaching stuff out of my hair it woke back up and decided to twitch like I was being pricked with very large needles and thin blades.  Thankfully I am getting way too used to this random crap so I kept going as I could.  I am so happy with the color.

I LOVE THIS CUP!!!
(its on my Amazon Wishlist)

I made myself two cups of tea as a celebration as I sat down with David after it all was done.  Tasty tasty Balmy Fruit Salad blend from +Adagio Teas (another of my personal blends) and Blush & Bashful from +Tea Hugger.  YUM!!!  David laughed because I was carrying to full mugs of tea but he told me that he is so happy to see me smiling and happy (and he thinks I'M CUTE! *definitely say that with Rudolph's voice*).  So I sat down with my two tea mugs, my newly dyed hair, and snuggled down while I watched "Game the Movie" (aka David playing a video game) and put in my two cents every once in a while when decisions were being made.  David even changed Iron Bull's armor to be my favorite color of purple for me. YAY!

Now I am exhausted and hurting but very happy.  I had a #GoodBelly day (day 4)!  I have awesome colored hair!  I have an amazing husband who is wonderful and I love beyond explanation! and I had tasty fruity teas that made me happy.  Fibro symptoms were at a normal level for the last few months but didn't stop me from doing what I wanted.  So awesome Sunday and I hope this means my week will go well.

LOVE and HUGS!
