Hello Hello!!!

Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening!!!

Hello All!!
So May is under way now.  It seems like this year just start and now it flying by!! Its hard think that this time last year I was just in school working on my way to become a hairstylist.

Well it the past three weeks I have said goodbye to my brown red hair and gone always the way blue!! Lighten my hair had to be the longest processes ever!! I took putting the lightener on 4 times!!! My hair was holding hard on to the red it would not come up. It finally was the last time we put it on for the red to finally go to a yellow orange that I need to get the blue I needed and wanted!!

Now getting the blue I wanted was another problem. I used Ion Brights Shark Blue, got it from Sally Beauty Supply. The first time I put it on the color was great however the hue was not right. It was to light for the look I was going. So I  left my hair alone for a day, then I put the second tube of color on and left it on 45 min. Finally after 4 hours of lightening and coloring I finally got my hair to the blue I was looking for and hoping for finally!!

For the care of my hair I have been using  Sebastian Drench Shampoo and Conditioner every 4 days shampooing in cold water as cold as I can stand it. For in between shampooing I have been using a dry shampoo the one I have been liking is Not your mothers Dry Shampoo and once a every 8 days I use a hair mask Sebastian Penetrate Deep Conditioner I leave it in for 6 minutes then rinse it out and let my hair air dry.

So thats the story of how I got my blue hair!!! I love it!   Let me know about your hair color stories!!!

Food for thought!!

Who we are is a direct result of what we perceive...
If we perceive our life is crap...well then crap it will be.
If we perceive our life is full of joy...then full of joy it will be.
The Law of Attraction is without a doubt one of the truest thing in our lives.
It works in several different ways....when we were children and we were praised for doing well and being good, we felt good about ourselves...it made us happy and in turn we were better. The same for the reverse...if when we were children we were constantly told that we were bad and that we couldn't do anything right...then that is what we perceived of ourselves and we were constantly in trouble. This carries over to our adult lives...what we grew up with as children we still feel that in our soul. It is a hard habit to break. This is where low self-esteem, low self-worth, and sometimes dis respectfulness stem from.
We can break this chain with a change in our thoughts. The more bad we focus on, the more bad we will have in our lives...the same is true for good, the more good we focus on, the more good will be in our lives. But, this change has to start with a change in your heart. You have to fully want a change. You can't be positive and still think your life is crap...it doesn't work that way.
This is a tough life, there is no doubt about it. But, why make it tougher by setting yourself up for tough times by saying "this is the way my life is gonna be, it can't ever get any better than this"...that is a load of BULL! It can get better, but like I said before, you have to want the change....you have to need the change. That change must start with you.
Open your heart to change, feel the need to have power over your life. Start by waking up with a grateful heart...that you are alive...God has given you another chance.
Take that chance. Fill your heart with joy and thankfulness...this is the best place to start. Then take one negative thought you have during the day and change it to a positive thought. Do this everyday, and before you know it, you have changed the way you

think about things....and everything around you will begin to change.

Quotes to think about!!

“When I was a child my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk, you'll be the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.” - Pablo Picasso

When we encourage our children to do their best and let them know that we are there for them and believe in them, it gives them a wonderful sense of security and perhaps the courage to take more chances.


"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not." - Anonymous

By telling ourselves that we "Cannot" do something because we are NOT this, that, or the other, is what really holds us back.

“Ultimately, each of us must develop within ourselves the capacity to make our way through the darkness without any companions, maps or guide.” – Osho

We all need to find the strength from the God Source within us to learn and develop on our own. No one else can do it for us.

“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.” - Vincent van Gogh

The great art of loving is something we must learn to paint and weave throughout our entire lives.


"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." - Anatole France

To accomplish our goals we must fully dedicate ourselves to them; by totally believing in them and working actively towards them.

"People deal too much with the negative...with what is wrong. Why not try to see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom." - Thich Nhat Hanh

By focusing on the negative we create more negative. Try to focus on the positive things in every situation!

"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves." - James Matthew Barrie

The more joy we bring into the world for others, the more joy we have in our own lives.

"Real love has no conditions attached. You just love! You may not choose to be in relations with a person, but you love them anyway." - The Coffee Prophet

"In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can." - Michael Korda

Without belief in our own success, any limitations become extraordinary.
