I remember some of these! Didn’t know you’ve had different hair colours too 🙂 I’d love to go blue at one point but it’s hard to go there from black, need to blonde before 😀

I’ve been pretty much bouncing between dark brown and blonde (and between those there is always that yellow/orange phase haha). Blue from black sounds like a challenge that will take at least couple of weeks to achieve 🤔 It would for sure be cool thought! 😄 When I was a teen I had red and green but I’ve never tried blue.

Sounds good! I tried those drug store diy colors and I would never ever do that again. Those don’t do anything good to your hair. Professional hairdresser is a must in bigger changes! 🙂

I love all of these!!! I agree with you on the photoshop pictures and the difference it all makes today. Almost every picture seems to have it now.
The quest bars… these are my favorite protein bar. I have not tried the chips you mentioned but I think Im going to have to now.
Your hair looks so good now!! Going blonde is def a journey and you MUST have someone who knows what they are doing. I went through it too and actually ended up frying my hair off because of it!!!

Thank you for your comment, Whitney!
You should definitely try those quest nutrition chips, they are delicious! 🙂
I’m happy to hear you like my hair! I think it’s a lot better now than it used to be. Becoming blonde when having dark brown hair isn’t the easiest task though worth it. 🙂

It’s so interesting to see what posts really resonate with readers. My most popular post of all time is also product review based so it was cool to see that yours is too! As for my favorite types of posts I would say wellness, lifestyle, travel posts. In 2018 I think it would be cool to see you do a What I Eat in a Day post (just because I’m always curious read: nosy to know what other people eat) and posts about anywhere you travel to!! 🙂
