Red Hair!


Last weekend I got my hair colored for the first time since my college days. I wanted to try something new with how my hair looked. I couldn't do anything too crazy since I work as a receptionist for a pretty conservative company. I wanted more of a cherry red but my hair stylist said my virgin hair was very uncooperative and didn't want to give up my dark brown color. After about three hours I walked out looking like this:




It's not quite as red as I was hoping for. He said next time I go back it will be more red like how I imagined. So afterwards I went to my local Ulta Beauty store to check out some products for red colored hair. I debated between Joico and Purelogy. Purelogy is fairly expensive. Almost $30 a pop for shampoo and conditioner. Joico is about half as much. I decided to give Joico a try. My hairstylist said to get something in the mid range for specifically red colored hair. 


So far, I'm not too impressed with Joico. It is known that red hair fades the fastest of all dyed hair. I feel like the intense red has already faded and the color is turning into a brassy orange. I guess it's the downfall of having asian hair! Maybe next time I'll try Purelogy. It is what Christina Hendricks swears by. 

This was taken a week after.

Do you color your hair? What products do you swear by?

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.
