EASTER EGG DYE: USING SPICES FROM YOUR KITCHEN

One night last week  (yes, at 10pm), I decided to dye some eggs for the Easter season. Although it was still snowing and 30 degrees outside, I was determined. I pulled out a carton of eggs and some spices, and I was more than excited with my beautiful outcome. And more-so than the gorgeous hues of reds, yellows, and lavenders, I was proud that my creativity in making an all-natural dye actually worked (I have my fair share of trial and error!). Here's what I did...!

HAIRCUTS, OMBRE, and BALAYAGE... OH MY!

I always get asked what color my hair is... and I honestly never have a great answer because I really don't know. Dirty blonde, golden blonde, streaky blonde-ish strawberry red...(-ish?!). All this confusion is really due to that fact that I've never had my hair colored by a stylist before. Actually, I've never paid more than $30 ever for any hair appointment. (Disclaimer: I have hair stylist friends that work total magic with hair - and I am not against people who spend alot of money for a great cut and color!). This is how I have always cut and colored my hair...

Unfortunately, our first NYC winter is still not over. We received at least 4 inches of snow today. But, it was beautiful. I have not yet forgotten how much I hated not having a "real" winter back in Texas - I guess we are getting exactly what we asked for! With Bentleigh being *so* young I have not had the opportunity to get out and explore the city (as much as I hoped to) in the midst of winter, but nonetheless we definitely learned a couple things about winter up north...
