Hellor! So a lot’s changed in the year and a bit since I
last posted. Bad blogger. Bad, bad blogger. So yeah, first of all, sorry about
that. I really wanna try and take this opportunity and make a proper go of it
this time. Starting with this.
A lot has changed. I feel a lot more confident
thanks to the past year. I’ve interned at my University, taken a year out from
my studies, made some amazing friends, travelled to some cool locations, met an
amazing boy and eaten foods and drank drinks I couldn’t possibly imagine tasting that beautiful
outside of my beautiful Yorkshire. Overall, I feel a much happier, more confident
person who wants to make a real go of this blogging business.
One of the biggest changes my friends will have noticed is
my hair! Out with the blonde and in with the, oh, aup, what’s that? Becky, the
girl who for the past 21 years of her life has been bright blonde either
through natural sun, highlighting or dyeing, has gone RED.
It was a big step. I’d spoken to a few people about the
change, and they were divided. I was told it could clash with my pinkish skin
tone, that I should just go for it, and that it could go ‘ewww ginger’! I
bought Loreal Preference’s Brooklyn shade and went from bright blonde to dark
auburn in the time it takes to watch an episode of Corrie (which I did whilst
my hair developed FYI).
I was immediately so pleased with the results. When I was
younger, as a natural mousey blonde, it would go dark in winter. As an awkward
12/13 year old with no make-up and a cheap pair of hair straighteners, pictures
would emerge of this Hanson reject with the largest black bags under her eyes
and a wide, fat nose. I always thought that darker hair would bring that look
back from 2006 where it belonged. However, I was so wrong and I really suit the
colouring.
Now, when I see pictures with my old hair, I can't believe I stayed blonde for so long. I went from golden blonde, to ash blonde, to platinum blonde which in the end made me look like an E.L. James novel: 50 Shades of Blonde, although no Christian in sight! Just look at how unhealthy it looked, and how pink it made my skin!
It seems to be a good colour for the Autumn and Winter
months, but I’ll have to stay on top of it when the sun comes back from
wherever he goes. Not sure I’d rock orange roots! My head is the colour of
chestnuts, fallen leaves, and mulled wine, which is probably my favourite thing
about this time of year because I get warm and drunk. YAY.
I love being red, and even more recently I’ve had a lot of
hair lopped off. IT’S SO SHORT NOW OMG. I’m loving this new look and feel sassy
af. Thank you to everyone who’s complimented my new look, I even plan to go a
bit redder next time!
So, I hope to carry on blogging. I have a few ideas ready to
post in the next couple of weeks. Please, if you enjoy it, keep telling me to
post stuff otherwise my next post will probably be December 2016. Who knows?!
Maybe then I’ll be rocking a green cropped ‘do! Hopefully not though!
Ta loves
