So having this girl come in was a little crazy. I haven't seen her since we graduated from high school in '06. It was nice to see her. We talked about people we went to school with and what we've been doing.
So about her hair... She came in almost all over level 9 blonde on top from highlights. She's trying to grow her hair out and trying to get it back to her natural, which is dark at a level 3. She also doesn't want it to be damaged, which lets face it, decolor is damaging. It sucks the melanin (what gives hair color) out of your cortex, in the process damaging your cuticle (outer layer of hair) over time. So we did a ratio of one highlight to two lowlights. I used Blonde Dimensions for the hightlight, and just retouched whatever was in the foil instead of running it through because I wanted her hair to stay on her head. I used Shades for the lowlights since we were just depositing color and her hair was already damaged. Then after a conditioning treatment, a trim, and a blow dry, this was the result. Unfortunately the lighting in my school sucks for pictures, so they never turn out very well... But it looked really pretty and she was happy.
On to other things. A few months back Andrew and I were looking to buy bedroom furniture. I think what we've basically decided to do it get stuff from Ikea. Just the basics, bedroom stuff, couch, one maybe two chairs, coffee table, two side tables... Just so that when we do have a house/apartment we have stuff to put in it so it's not empty. We were thinking about just sucking it up and getting an apartment for the first year or two (he'd be sucking it up, not me). Ikea is affordable. I know, I know, there's Goodwill and stuff but I just do not have the patience to scavenge Goodwills across Gwinnett County looking for stuff that matches, or at least coordinates. Plus, I just don't have the kind of skill to take things that don't really match and make them look good.
We already have a kitchen table and chairs. The table is an 1800's Irish pub table, in awesome condition. The chairs are also old, though I don't know how old, and are from Brazil. I'll get pictures of those up sometime.
What I was going to do is use the bedroom furniture for a few years, then when we do get a house or something with a second bedroom (and we're making more money) we could put it in the guest room. And at least if I could get a couch and then look for tables and whatnot at Goodwill. Everyone I know that got a couch from Goodwill ended up with a couch infested with something. Not cool. And I found the cutest couch. Andrew said it made him think of Super Mario Brothers.
And I see why. But it's cute! And I like Mario...
