I'm off this weekend and it's so nice to have a weekend off with NO plans. My "no plans" include laying by the pool, reading magazines that have been stacking up and planning what I'm going to pack for vacation (only 7 days to go!).
On Thursday, I got super brave and touched up my janky roots right before I left for work. I only get my hair professionally colored 2-3 times a year, so I do the maintenance in between with this little gem:
I've been using Clairol Root Touch up for about 4 years now, and it has never failed me. BUT....I did get really nervous this time, because while the color was sitting on my hair, it started looking orange-ish, brown (btw, the color I use is light ash blonde). Ummm....NOT the look I was going for. The box says to leave it on for 1o minutes, but I always leave it on for 15. I was getting scared. So, I left it on for an additional 5 minutes, but it still looked wonky and I gave up and washed it out.
But, it didn't' fail me! It turned out great (at least, I think so). I don't know why the color looked so weird while it sat on my hair, but it turned out like it always does! My hairstylist knows that I touch up in between, and she always remains on "stand-by" in case of a disaster. So far, so good. I also cut my bangs, too (with garden scissors, but whatever. She does fuss at me for that, haha). Here's what it looked like after I got done with all of my handiwork:
(I had myself a little bathroom mirror photo session...)
So, if you're looking for me this weekend, I'll be by the pool (with massive amounts of sunscreen on) reading People's Style Watch and doing......NOTHING!
Have fun this weekend, kids!

You're weekend of nothing sounds fantastic! I was looking forward to a weekend like that, until we got family visitors last night.
Your hair looks fantastic! I love the idea of touching up yourself, I should start doing that, save tons of money!
Nothing sounds pretty good. I like nothing.
And may I add that you look mighty HOT?
Have an awesome weekend girly
