hair dye - blonde to red purple

today i got my hair dyed.
c:
it is a joyous occasion that i get my hair dyed.
and more so that i got my puppy groomed the same day!

i was not so cute going in- i don't think so at least.
don't do your hair before you go to get your hair done. it's a waste, you have to shampoo your hair before they dye it then. that's another like 10-30 minutes on top of a two-six hour process.
[six hours only if you're like bleaching and blahblah or mess up or something]
anyway.
this was me before~

[that's Anna's butt in the background c:]

the dye looked like the goo from Power Rangers, the movie.

it made me laugh.
c:


Becky never makes my hair cute when she dyes it, doesn't smooth it. it's just all thrown up there. Dx so no face pix. i have an ugly forehead.


rinsed out and wet~

and finally

all done.
c:

i really like the color and style, the bangs are a little short for what i normally do. but w/e still cute.
:3


i took another pix when i got home to show hold,
i live 30 minutes from where Becky is.
but we stopped to get Wendy's
sooooo this shows it holds for at least 30-50 minutes.
it's still up at 12pm, it was finished at like 8pm?
product is such goodness.

want to know what products i use?
ask.
how do i style?
magic.

and yes, i styled it.
Becky tried but i am too picky.




AND
Ejote's grooming adventure.
she is fluffy and wonderful.
they trimmed her up a little and shaved her ears down.
i don't like them short, or long, so maybe i'll find somewhere as they grow out that i like.
i like them short better than long though.

[go to ejotesnewlife.blogspot.com for a hilarious story about the groomers!]
she is my baby.
; w ;


i am going to the mall tomorrow to get a makeup make over, as well i am baking a cake for my mother.
she is accepting an award for being an awesome lawyer or something.
my grandparents are coming to Michigan to spend the rest of the week with us/her too!

back to the wig store

today i went to try and find Sally's, i couldn't, so i went back to the wig store because i knew where it was. and knew they had what i wanted.

i got black, red, white, and silver nail design polish. three nail files in pink and purple and blue maybe? as well as black, white, and pink nail gems for 13$
they are really inexpensive there, and they were really nice to me.
c:

if i do my own nail design three times i will have paid for the products already.

i am going to do nails for my friends this weekend, because i want to start doing them myself instead of paying. since i have been watching them be done for 4 years.
they wont be as high quality- but i don't much care since i will be working with my hands in school.
but i want to practice on my friends before me.
^OO^

WARNING
DO NOT JUST DO YOUR OWN ACRYLIC NAILS
i basically was an apprentice- i always watch them do my nails like a hawk because i wanted to do nails professionally, plus i think it's very neat.
it is VERY dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.


tomorrow i am taking Ejote to the groomers,
and getting my hair done.
lots of pix i swear~

ZOOM! teeth whitening

as seen on extreme makeover
:33

that is what i got today,
i have been self conscious about my teeth since... always.
even now after this i am wanting to go back for braces- you will understand in a moment when you see the pix.

before hand you want to brush/floss your teeth as well as you can. they do NOT clean your teeth before you get it unless you want to schedule and pay for that too.
and you also want to dress nicely. never go out without looking decent, you never know who you'll run in to.

i didn't run into anyone-
except a old lady in her 90s that liked my shoes.
B]

the proses is fairly simple, and not painful for me.
[though i have pain now. will explain later~]
they start by moisturizing your lips and putting a little sunscreen on your nose/around your mouth. followed by giving you true cotton mouth-
now i have never smoked weed, so i have never felt "cotton mouth" that way. but this cotton mouth wasn't so bad. it was a little dry but very easily bearable. i didn't mind it.
next they put liquid plastic on your gums, hiding any tissue that is not covered by the cotton.

they then harden it with a light to make it look like the above.
my mom was like "why do you want pix of this?" i was like "because it's important that i get laughed at >X"
i actually think i look pretty cool.
O w O

next they put a tooth conditioner on your teeth, followed by the whitening gel.
and then, finally, this has taken about an hour so far, you get the light.

it gets really hot but doesn't hurt. not for me at least. some people experience sensitivity during the proses.

for 15 i sat there with my arms in the air holding my iPod up so i could watch music videos,
then the light turns off and she takes off the whitening gel- reapplies the conditioner and gel- and the light is back on.
she repeats this one more time after the 15 minutes are up.
again another 15 minutes and i'm done~

i went up 7 shades, i am no longer a person with any shade of natural colored teeth.

before

after

[about me wanting braces, my front two teeth aren't perfectly straight anymore. i want it fixed]

i am very pleased.
you can see where my braces covered when i had them, but it should even out in the next few days.

another thing i am going to deal with for the next few days is- zingers.
a "zinger" is a jolt of pain that the cause is not really known. it just feels like a zap and then it is gone.
you don't know when it will come or why- it just does.

they said it should stop within the next couple of days.
or 4-6 hours.
it's not terrible.
but it does hurt.
:C

that's all- i will go bake my cake now and update later.
