nine truths about having dyed hair

    where I work…

    by Kaylah Stroup March 13, 2013

    I just wanted to share a few pictures of my work space/closet today. I guess it’s considered a slash closet when you keep most of your shoes, clothes and accessories in it. But it’s my personal sanctuary. I love looking at all my things displayed around the room. It’s colorful and bright in here and it always makes me smile (uh, except when it’s a mess!)

    Last time I blogged photos of this room I mentioned how I loved taking and sharing photos of it because it changes so often. It’s often little changes too, donating something, bringing something new in, so sometimes I don’t really realize how much it’s changed until I look back. My most recent new additions are the succulents on my desk. This winter is really bumming me out. I’m ready for leaves to be back on the trees and birds to be singing outside my window. The succulents are just small but the impact they’re making on my day is tremendous!

    Hope you’re having a lovely day!
    xoxo

    Last weekend I finally ventured away from my natural hair color (blue!). I had been purposely trying to fade my hair for a week or so with long soaks in the bubble bath, and lots of conditioning treatments before I bleached it. That blue was not coming out! I finally decided just to go for …
