 Happy Friday. Welcome back to another vlog. I was not planning on starting a vlog today, but Then I decided that I'm going to color my hair. So it was like I I've got to record it I've had this color now for almost a month and a half. I told myself Okay, I'm gonna do this color But then in like a month or two once my roots start growing out and it gets to the point where I Need to touch it up. I will then make the decision if I want to Refresh the copper and keep it longer or if I want to go in a different direction. So as you can see I don't have like a crazy amount of roots right now because I just said it's just been like a little over a month but enough that it is Noticeable and it's kind of starting to bother me. I feel like the color I don't know how it's translating on camera, but in person. It's very faded It's a little bit uneven like it just looks like it is ready for a refresh. I'm at that point I'm at the crossroads. Do I keep the copper and Refresh it. The thing is if I refresh it Then the more times I layer the red over and over it's gonna be more difficult to Remove it unless I want to go super dark again Which I don't know that I want to do with summer coming I kind of want something a little dimensional and I also want something that's gonna be more low maintenance Because red it's very high maintenance and every time it gets wet the color fades a little more So I am just gonna do a demi permanent gloss and the nice thing about that is that will Fade over time as mountain the Sun as I wash it, etc So then in another few weeks once this color that I put on fades I can decide again. Okay. Do I actually miss the copper? Do I want to throw copper on my hair again or do I want to stick with like browns and Maybe like do a balayage or something like that and I was just digging through my at-home color supply To see what I have that way. I don't have to go out to the store And I think I think we'll be able to work with what I have There's just a tiny bit left in each of these bottles, but I have seven n and then I also have Six na which is one level darker and it has ash in it and I'm totally fine with the red still being there Um, like I don't want my hair to be super ashy or anything Like I do want it to be like a warm reddish brown. My roots are darker, obviously So it's not gonna really do anything to my roots But I'm hoping that my hair being more of a brown color It'll blend because I'm okay with having roots But I just don't want them to be like so obvious I'm using break and shade zq equal parts seven n with six na With the processing solution I'm gonna put that in This bottle I have a processing cap here. I need to shower and my hair needs to desperately be washed anyway So I am gonna hop in the shower and just do it in there to make it less messy as well So I'm gonna shampoo my hair two times When use a clarifying shampoo to make sure my hair is nice and clean And then I'm gonna squeeze some of the water out apply the gloss to my hair Put the processing cap on let it process for 20 minutes And then I will shampoo it out do conditioner and then I will be back and I will show you my hair here is The hair I am so happy with it. This is exactly What I was hoping for and if I go like up in the light But it's definitely still red like you can definitely still see the copper, but it's just not as vibrant And as light and it's definitely more of a coppery brown now Which just looks like a more natural color on me and As you can see it kind of blends with my roots a little bit better Anyway, it's friday afternoon. Actually, it is almost three o'clock. I got computer work done earlier today And I did want to film a q&a video and I want to have some content prerecorded because One of my friends is in town and then another friend is getting into town later tonight And it's st. Patrick's day weekend So I just want to go out this weekend and enjoy time with my friends the one that's coming tonight She is gonna be here. I think for at least a week. She has her spring break from work She's a teacher. I don't want to have to worry about filming While she's here But yeah, I'm gonna record a q&a because that's pretty quick and easy to do and that way I can still Stick to my uploading schedule. So yeah, that's the plan. I am about to make myself A coffee though because I'm starting to like hit that midday slump And I'm just gonna make a nespresso pod to make it easier and quicker. This is a double espresso And I'm using my pretty fluted glass from amazon I totally forgot I wanted to froth the milk Normally I would add the milk to the last first froth it and then Add the coffee to it, but I forgot so I'm just gonna do that Separately got my milk in there frother Oh my god, even just the smell of espresso is so good. So I got my coffee and add my frothed milk And I'm gonna do a little bit of this white chocolate coffee syrup sauce whatever and then Nice cute beautiful So good literally like a coffee you could get in a coffee shop where they would probably easily charge you like seven dollars Okay, I'm gonna go film my video and I will check in with you after that It's a few hours later. I finished recording my q&a video Got the footage imported for that and now I am Getting ready to go meet up with my friends, but I'm really excited. I've got my new extra wallet and I'm about to switch over because I just use this is my Regular everyday wallet that I've had for years and I love it because it's huge I can fit a ton of stuff But then whenever I go out at night and I want to just bring like a small little clutch Or a little purse or whatever like this is the purse I'm gonna be using tonight This is just like way too big and it's really heavy To just put in a small bag So I wanted a small wallet that I could still fit everything that I need and it would be secure But it would be small And flat enough that I could throw in like a really tiny bag or I could even just stick in my pocket If I didn't want to bring a purse So this is the parliament wallet if you've never seen these before I feel like I get instagram ads for them all the time But it's this little compact wallet and they have a bunch of different designs And different colors so it's unisex And it's so cool. It has this little pop-up feature So you can stick all your cards in here and then they all just pop out. So they're really easy to Grab and then it also has a tracker That you can put in the wallet. It's also rfid protected So I got that ready for tonight. If you guys want to check out their wallets I'll have a link and a discount code in the description. So let's see. This is my I every day bad From zara that I I got this as a Christmas gift actually. So I've been using this Every day for the last few months and I love it But you know kind of big and heavy to bring out at night. So let's see. I'm gonna bring some lip balm And my phone obviously. So here is my outfit for the evening These jeans are from h&m. I am obsessed with them I showed you guys in my last vlog These jeans I got them in three different colors and this bodysuit. I've had forever. It's from misguided And this cropped button up top. I actually cropped it myself. It was just like a plain White button up from h&m and then I'm wearing these mules from sheen And then this little bag is from teddy blake and they very kindly gifted it to me But I am obsessed it is So Gorgeous I love the thin little strap And you could also just tuck the strap in and just use it as a clutch This is what it looks like up close And it's actually a really good size to go out to dinner or wear to an event or something When you just want something Small but you need to actually like carry stuff with you. It's definitely a luxury brand Their bags are all made with real italian leather. So you're basically getting a designer bag but without The super expensive fancy logo on it So you are paying significantly less money than you would with a designer bag But you're still getting that really good high quality So again, I'll have a link and a discount code for you guys in the description to the bag as well But that is my outfit for the night I just need to touch up my lipstick and i'm gonna head out actually hold that thought because I got a package I got my print shout out to my mom for Printing this out for me. I found The photo on etsy. It was a digital download I purchased for like two or three dollars or something And then this frame I had got from target. This is my little hack If you want like big artwork in your home, but you don't want to pay A crap ton of money for it. This is what I had did in my old apartment too. If you guys remember I had The three big frames you could bring it to a coffee center. I don't think it's very expensive To print stuff you can just get like a plain basic poster board frame from walmart for like around $10 Or maybe even somewhere like hobby lobby might have them like on sale So like they're always doing sales and you can do like multiple frames if you're trying to fill a big wall Or just one This I kind of decide this frame Comes with like the border the matting or whatever it's called trying to decide if I want to do it with that or without I think I like it better without I feel like for this picture It kind of is supposed to look like an old vintage painting And I feel like those old framed paintings. We don't have the border I feel like on camera. It looks so small on this wall, but in person. It's beautiful. It's like the perfect size It's really weird. It's translating very differently on camera But I love it. I love just the simple muted colors. It goes really well with the rest of the Room very happy, but I gotta go my friend is here to pick me up. So I'll see you later Good morning. It's saturday. I Ended up staying out pretty late. My friend got in like around 12 30 So I was out with my friends just basically waiting for her to get into town and then when she got here We hung out here and talked for a little bit So I think I probably ended up going to sleep sometime around like one 32 o'clock ish and now it's about nine. Yeah, I did not sleep well And I kept getting up throughout the night. So I feel like even though Time-wise I technically got a decent amount of sleep, but Quality-wise I don't feel like I did so I feel okay. I just feel tired But I think once they got some coffee in me I'll be better But I felt so good to be out downtown and have it be Really warm out and a lot of people were out last night, of course Because the st. Patrick's Day weekend So it was fun and I'm looking forward to the rest of this weekend as well But I am getting ready to go to this one I have a couple clients today and then I also am getting My nails done once I'm done with my hair clients this one Cracked so I'm gonna put a tip on here and I'm probably gonna end up doing The same kind of color this like milky white, which is funny bunny But opi, it's just my go-to this time around I had just did one coat of it to keep it like really sheer So I think I'll just do maybe like two or three coats of it this time to make it a little more opaque But same color but Same prayer for me that today goes smoothly because like I said, I have two clients. My first one is new and I didn't Schedule her myself the front desk did and she's down for a full color And a highlight and a haircut and our service menu We don't do things like a lot of cart. So it's not like very specifically broken down So I have no idea what she specifically is looking for And I am really praying That it doesn't end up being a color correction because directly after her appointment I have someone else coming in for a haircut and then my nail appointment So I do not have any extra wiggle room So I'm hoping that it just ends up being like a straightforward Appointment and while I'm at work, my friend is just gonna hang out here. She I'm sure it's just exhausted because she not Stuck in a lot of traffic last night and she had came straight from work And I think I had mentioned she's a teacher. So she was up Really early yesterday morning so She honestly might just want to like sleep in and lay around while I'm gone But it's nice when you have those friends or family members that come visit you and they're just like You don't need to entertain me. I'm just happy to not be home And they can just kind of do their own thing and entertain themselves And then I don't know the exact plan for the rest of the day We were talking about maybe coming out to dinner somewhere And then going out downtown again There's a lot of places are having live music and different specials and just like fun things going on Because it's St. Patrick's Day. So I will try my best to get as many clips as I can At the salon and also of my evening But let me quickly show you my outfits. I'm feeling super cute today. Here is my outfit This top I am obsessed with I got it in black and white from old navy and I got it recently So it should still be available and then these pants are from express Dispelt I think it's from target and then I am wearing my new balance sneakers To make it a little bit more casual And I'm gonna do these big teardrop earrings from amazon I feel like this outfit just calls for a bunch of bold jewelry I'm gonna make myself a coffee to go and then head out I will see you at the salon. Hallelujah. The first client did not end up being a color correction She had some gray roots as you could see So we just did permanent root color to cover up those grays and then she wanted Like some tz light just add some balayage should give some dimension to her hair But you know keep it really blended in low maintenance and she did want a little bit of a soft blended money piece So I just did a full head of tz lights And this was her final hair. It came out so pretty super flattering natural low maintenance blended She loved it I was really happy with the results as well. And then my second client wanted to chop A bunch of her hair off her hair was super thick. This was everything that we cut off By the end of it and this is What the cut looked like she wanted it to be shorter in the back a little bit longer in the front Lots of layers just like really cute texturized and fun Loved it. I think it looks so cute on her Good morning. Happy Saturday. I don't think I've logged anything since last Saturday So it's a week later, but we're just gonna Keep things going my friend ended up leaving Thursday afternoon. So she was here Most of the week we did a lot of walking but we also did a lot of going out to eat and drinking alcohol So I'm looking forward to Getting back into my normal routine and also just staying home Like I love when people come to visit me from out of town But after a while my social battery just gets drained because I really need At least one day a week where I stay home and just don't interact with anyone today I'm working at the salon and I have two clients Both getting like big color and cut appointments. The first one is One of my regulars the second one though is new I don't normally put This much dry shampoo in my hair, but I feel like I need it Oh and update on my hair because I forgot I toned it the beginning of this video I have washed it once Since doing the toner and I I'm really liking this color I feel like it's the perfect in between where Depending on the lighting it still looks copper or it can just look brown So I'm gonna just let it keep growing I'm gonna try and just not do anything to the color and just kind of let it fade and I don't know eventually I think I do want to do kind of like a balayage Lived in beachy kind of thing like not be blonde still be brunette, but just have some like brawned Highlights and I think I'm just gonna pull it back Just to do a low bun because it's super cloudy out and it was raining all night and I think it's still Gonna be kind of raining on and off. I'm sure it's crazy humid outside So no point in wearing it down. Okay here Is my outfit. It's so dark and gloomy that the lighting in my bedroom right now is terrible To show you in the full like mirror, but this top is from Nike Obviously these pants are old. These actually were my mom's back in the day little hounds tooth print and then I am wearing My loafers penny loafers that are from h&m. I believe it's one of those weird days where it's like the temperature Is a little bit chilly. It's like in the mid 60s right now. I think but it's super humid Which I feel like can make it feel warmer. I don't know. So I'm just gonna bring this old denim jacket That's from the sky did I think but I'll probably end up taking it off while I'm working I gotta hurry up Because I still have to take bennie out and then I'm gonna go so I will see you at the salon So this first client like I said is one of my regulars She comes in every few months as you can see she has a little tiny bit of grays So we do some baby lights to just brighten her up and kind of help Disguise and blend those grays while still keeping it Super low maintenance. So I alternate between baby lights all the way up to the root and then Like teased baby lights just making sure that everything I'm doing is like really soft and fine and blended It was really nice this day. It was very quiet at the salon. So I was actually able to Get a little bit more footage than I have been lately. I'm trying to be better about that I post more content like behind the scenes stuff of me doing hair on my instagram page I feel like but I want to start sharing more of that here on youtube like I used to So as you can see pulling out those foils then doing a toner And of course I forgot to get an after clip of her hair But it came out really beautiful and then this was client number two She was a color correction as you can see she has a band Um So she Had some old blonde that was really grown out and then she had did a red box dye on her hair At one point like several months ago. So that red was still in there. I did a full head This took me six hours from start to finish. I did a full head of foils I tried to get rid of that band as best I could it's not 100 perfect. It's still in there a little bit So I went with a warmer more golden almost peachy toner to help kind of disguise the band Luckily she wanted warmth. She was very against anything too cool or ashy So it worked out once this starts to grow out in a few months We will do another session and then hopefully in Another session or two we should get rid of that band completely. But you know, it's a process. Here's where we're at I stopped to get a sundae for mcdonald's on my way home Put that in the freezer. Oh My god, even though I only had two clients today It still ended up being like a 10 hour day and I'm exhausted. I'm feeling it in my back Good thing is though my ring was telling me that um, I was super active today And I got like well over 10,000 steps. It's good. I guess but now I I'm gonna go make dinner. Well, I'm gonna take Benny out first But then I'm gonna make dinner enjoy my ice cream and I'm just gonna lay on the couch and Relax the rest of the night. It is eight o'clock a little after eight. So Yeah, I'm done for the day. It was a good day But it was just tiring and because I was go go go Uh, I didn't really have time. I brought a salad with me Didn't even have time to eat it. I will see you in the morning Good afternoon Happy monday. Oh I feel like I shouldn't have put There we go I have this breakout that's like Almost gone but it's still there a little bit and I just put this pharmacy honey potion Antioxidant renewing mask, but it's like a warming Gently warms and transforms into a nourishing cream as it's massaged into the skin leaving a smooth glowing complexion It doesn't burn, but apparently if you have a healing pimple or a cut or something It does burn But yeah, it's currently monday afternoon. Oh my god. It's already almost three o'clock yesterday I didn't vlog anything because I literally Wrotted on the couch all day. I didn't do anything productive. It was actually quite nice I was beat like saturday night after I stopped recording I was just in physical pain because I was just go go go all day, I guess and I felt fine While I was up and moving but once I finally sat and my body Was resting I realized like oh, wow everything is hurting. It's interesting because I normally work like six to eight hour Shifts at a time sometimes a little bit longer than that But I feel like when it's broken up amongst like two to four clients and it's just like standard stuff It's not as physically exhausting as one client and like a Six hour color correction and I do love doing them, but they Just take a toll on you physically and mentally so Yeah, yesterday. I was just feeling so exhausted and drained and I just needed one of those days to stay home And not do anything Not see anybody. I needed that day, but today I've been productive all day I just got like some chores done around the apartment have a lot of emails that I had to catch up on I edited and posted a video and I wrote out the outline for another video That I'm going to record later this week. So it's been a good Productive day and now I just got out of the shower obviously and this might be tmi But my period is finally over and that's just the best feeling when you're just done And you take like a nice shower like it was one of those long showers where I shaved and exfoliated and all that stuff And now I just feel Extra clean, but I am actually going to end this vlog right here. I just want to start a new vlog start fresh Don't forget to check the description for the links to everything that I mentioned throughout this vlog I hope that you guys have an amazing week. I'll see you really soon in my next video. Bye
