Throwback Thursday: The ME Edition!

Greetings! For a long time, I wasn't very apt to change. I liked things the way they are. Why try to reinvent the wheel? This was very true about me, especially when it came to changing my hair color. Here are 2 BEFORE pics of me, nothing exciting, just me: Then, one day, I was asked to be a hair color model at the salon where I used to work, and although, I wasn't very open to a lot of change, I let them experiment within bounds. Here were the results, AFTER: The picture is a little blurry, but as you can see my hair is much lighter and there is contrast because of the multi-dimension in color. The stylists' used lightener to get the Blonde you see in the front, and the darker colors you see are Red and Orange. They've eventually faded, as all colors do. My hair was shorter then, it's been a year since the change has occurred. Now, I'd like to do something different... Do any of you have any ideas? Yentl

The Modern World: Thoughts

Truthful Tuesdays

Hello All! It's that time again out of the week where I don't lie ;) About a couple years ago I went to a nail salon to get a pedicure done. The lady working on my feet cut me, it hurt, but nothing to fret about, right? About a week or so later when I went to remove my nail polish, I noticed that my nail was not the same. Guess what I caught? A toenail fungus! Yuck! Here's what that would look like: Some fungus' aren't as "pleasant" as this one. On another occasion, when I used to get acrylic done to my nails on my hands, I caught another nail fungus! DOUBLE YUCK! Here's what that would look like: Or this one. End result of that: I still on occasion get pedicures, but at extremely select places. Cleanliness is NUMBER 1 on my list when I'm getting services done. As far as acrylic nails go, I just don't do them anymore. I stick to getting fresh manicures, that most often than not, I do myself.  Problem solved :) Yent

Introducing: The Color Wheel

Have you ever seen the color wheel? Well, what is it used for? How is this important at all?  I'm not going to talk about crayons here, but it's probably the most color you've ever seen, what with their 64 box of crayons and all. The color wheel consists of 3 primary colors: Yellow, Blue and Red. A combination of two primary colors gives us the secondary colors, such as: Green, Violet and Orange. And lastly, by combining a primary color with secondary colors, we create: tertiary colors. In cosmetology, the color wheel is important when it comes to hair coloring. Let's look at what colors neutralize or cancel some unwanted tones in our hair, shall we? To neutralize or cancel brassy tones, use the colors opposite each other on the color wheel to achieve a neutral end result. Looking at the above picture you can see it's very simple. Red neutralizes/cancels Green and vice versa. Violet neutralizes/cancels Yellow and vice versa. And, Blue n

Happy 2014!

Out with the old and in with the NEW! Hope everyone had an AMAZING New Years Day! Make everyday count! Life is too short and too precious to be wasted on things that hold no weight in your life.  If it is for you, it shall stay, if it went away, it was never yours. Be thankful, meditate and pray. Everything happens for a reason. Everyday is a gift! Yentl
