Although my cuticles have not settled down yet from the bleaching (still a bit Puff-Daddy looking), they are a little more calmed down than yesterday's nest. Too bad the weather tonight is humid and yucky. To my surprise, I received a ton of compliments on the color and cut today. Those that didn't like it did the awkward, "Do you like it?" to which my co-worker and I make fun of. We don't know if it's just an American thing where if you feel awkward and can't find something nice to say, you have to pose it back as a question. Both of us are honest when someone asks us a question about their looks. And if we don't like something, we'll say so but we will say it with tact. Why can't everyone just speak their minds? I mean, heck, if you don't like my hair, just tell me. I'd rather you say, "You know what, Niki? I really like your hair longer (me too) or darker." I'm a big girl and I can take it. And it's just hair. It's an easy change (color-wise) and takes me two months to grow out. Keep in mind this is stage 1. When I go back for regrowth, I'll be platinum. Don't want to fry the hair.
Oh and did I say I'm hungry? Yeah, 1200 calories is a bitch. I'm hungry. When I was on Weight Watchers in 2011 I figured (through complicated mathematical equations - NO) that 29 WW points = 1380 calories. I've been pretty good for the last few days, but man oh man am I hungry tonight. So I'm going over my calorie count today cause sometimes you just gotta listen to your body. If not, I know I'll be snacking later.
And I'm thinking this might be an unofficial blue theme week.

DeleteNikki......I love it. It looks sexy,dramatic and gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lisa!
DeleteI've been on WW and yeah, 29 points is hard. Try to pick up some filling fruits.

Ahhh there's the rub. I hate fruit. Veggies good, fruit nasty. It's a taste and texture issue.

Your hair looks great!! I once got my hair cut in a terrible bob, awful on me, wrong length, wrong color, horrible. And I knew it, but you do what you can. One of my good friends tried so hard to find a nice thing to say and this is what he came up with: It looks very professional. Telling me my hair looked professional isn't really a compliment, its like saying you have sturdy shoes or a utilitarian bag; its not awful but its not how you'd like to feel.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea WW was so calorie restricted!!!! No wonder it works; you can't eat anything!
"Professional" lol! I wish someone had told me my hair looked like a ratty mess when I wore it curly.
DeleteWW simply teaches you portion control. I got an additional 29 points each week to distribute how I wanted. I used every point, every week and would just shake my head when people would write "i can't get thru all my points today. I'm just not hungry." Bulls***. I was starving every day. Been hungry for 2 years!

I really love the cut. I didn't love the color in yesterday's pictures because your skin tone looked too rich for it, but in today's pictures it looks right. I chalked it up to lighting. It'll be interesting to see what the platinum looks like on you, but I've liked everything you've done with your hair and makeup so I'm sure it will be adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah it's amazing the difference lighting can make. I took the first photo in the mall bathroom with my iphone. Today's is obviously outside in natural light with a Canon Rebel T3i. And tomorrow's post will look a little different since I left my purple shampoo on longer to tone the yellow. Thank you for the honest feedback. :-)
