Bucket list dream come true

I have finally had the chance to tick off another bucket list dream. Yes, it may seems like a silly thing, but it represents me not worrying about what other people think, and to fulfil something that i have wanted to do for such a long time....


HAVE PINK HAIR!


I knew the longer and longer i left it, the more ridiculous i would seem as i got older. One of my rockstar friends who is the most talented hairdresser i know, agreed to make this dream come true.


After finally finding the colour that i loved on amazon.co.uk, having to have it delivered to my sister in england, who then brought it by plane (came for christmas, not just to deliver the hair dye, tee hee) and then into the hands of "ninja hairdresser".


I was nervous but excited, and also wondered in the back of my mind if Fin (my baby boy) would know who i was. As long as i smell like milk, its all good, thankfully


It only took three hours to complete this transformation, which by God's blessing was less time that we both had predicted.


I looked in the mirror, and i loved it. it couldnt have been more perfect.


My parents are somewhat confused as to why i did this, and lets just say its not their preference of hair colour on me. Others have used the words "interesting" and "oh, thats different", and my favourite one was "well, thats very...um... you!" I am going to choose to take that as a compliment, even if it wasnt meant as one :)


My little friend, Emma saw me when i went to pick her up from school with her mum, she yelled "I LOVE YOUR HAIR... ITS PINK". I love her! she gave me a good boost, as long she loves it, we are all good! She is quite the honest little one.


So here it is! 


Step by step a little dream came true. Now i need to publish a book before im thirty. That gives me 3 years and 2 weeks to get going... phew-ey!


ORIGINAL HAIR COLOUR (me with my boy)


BLEACHING MY HAIR OUT... PROBABLY THE SCARIEST LOOK FOR SURE


AND THE FINAL REVEAL! LOVE IT! THANK YOU NINJA ROCKSTAR HAIRDRESSER K"Y"M

Fin looks a little scared here, but i promise he loves to pull on it... i think it will be good for him developmentally with the bright colour, bahaha!

i love how we accomplished a two tone hair colour as it goes down to blonde at the bottom

im not a huge fan of self portraits but i was a tad excited to show my sister in england!

  1. I seriously love it! It looks FABULOUS! I had a clinical instructor with fuchsia pink hair (she's a paediatric nurse) and she always got weird looks, but she rocked it as should you!
