Silent Sunday



Thursday Pinterest's

I am having a hair dilema.

It is that time of year for me to change up the color to make it more "fall/winter".

However, I am having a tough time with what I want to do.

I know I want to go darker (more my natural color), but I also want to maybe add some dark auburn to it.

In addition, I think I want to cut it...

No, not hack it off, but make it more manageable.

Check out my pinterest's for today and give me your opinion.

This is me now (or close to now)...



Sorry about the devil-looking eyes, my eyes always seem to do that.

Now on to the fun part, my pinterest's...

I like this look, maybe not so red.

I don't care for this cut though...not really a bangs person.

I kind of like the color of this gal's hair (purple included)!

Not sure I can pull of the "severe" bangs though.

At least it would still be somewhat longer.

I just feel like I need a younger look...not sure this one will do it for me though.

OK, I L-O-V-E her hair in this picture.

Although, I would not go quite that short...

My husband would throw a "hissy fit"!

I looked "everywhere" on the net, but I just couldn't find a good photo of a hair color that I LOVED.

Guess it will be in the hands of my stylist tomorrow.

He always does an awesome job, so I am not too worried. The color is up to him!

Some of my DIY inspiration.

I really want to make some of these things for our home and myself!



Something so Fun, I had to Share

So, a few weeks back, I completed a team weight loss competition at work. Amazingly enough, my partner and I totally kicked butt and we were each awarded an iPad2. I am still learning the "in's" and "out's" of the whole thing, but I have found a couple really cool apps that I just can't seem to get enough of.

I bet you have seen old photographs that your parents or grandparents cherish. They look old and worn, but are very nostalgic and beautiful. I have always loved the look of old worn photographs. Now, with an app I have, I can alter my photos and have my very own "old", "worn" photos to cherish for years to come.

Here are two photos I have played with.



The other app that I am so excited about is for shooting videos. It also ages the video to look as though it is very old. There is an option for 1920's look, old black and white, 1960's, 1970's, and a few others. What is awesome is that the cost of this app was $1.99. Talk about cheap and totally worth it! I don't have any good video to share with you yet, because I am still trying to figure out how to download them, but as soon as I have it all figured out, you will be the first to see the fun stuff!

Hope you are all having a fantastic week! Talk to you all soon!
