Colour Outside the Lines

For the first time in years, I bought myself some colouring pens. When I was a kid, I used to loooove colouring books and had, always, one with me. I also had a stack of colouring pens and would use every colour possible. The same with my drawings…lots of orange people with purple hair and pink/yellow shirts. I was not one for realism.

Nowadays, I mainly draw and sketch with pencils, but I figured it was time to get in touch with my inner child and get some colour back in my life.

At first, I wasn’t sure how I would utilise my brand new colouring pencils. It seemed I had lost my childhood zest for colours and fun. My imagination had left the building. I was already considering drawing endless flower montages, when I had an epiphany.

Clothes.

No limits to colour combinations. No limits to anything. Well, except for my imagination.

After drawing various dresses that even peacocks would deem too flashy, I drew a couple of ones that I might actually consider wearing…if someone would be kind enough to make them.

Good Hair Definitely Helps

Spring is coming slowly but surely. I choose to believe that, even though there’s still snow on the ground.

All the signs are there: birds singing in trees, sun shining, people smiling…me abandoning my beanies. Nature is finally waking from its loooong hibernation.

This is also mother nature’s way of kicking me in the ass and saying ”Get thee to a hairdresser.”

And who am I to deny mother nature.

Since I’m lazy, I rarely cut my hair or colour it. Most of the year, my head is a full blown mess of wavy hair that cannot be controlled, which is why I love my hats.

Nowadays, my main requirement for a haircut is manageability. The easier the better. I’ve done my share of experimentation and learned my lessons…the hard way. Let’s just say the pixie cut…not my brightest moment.

I’ve also, recently, embraced the ombre hair style. It’s the perfect solution for a woman that rarely sees her hairdresser. To make things even easier (and cheaper), the base colour is my own. It also has the added bonus of saving my scalp from irritation. So win win.

My hair was also straightened – on a rainy day – so that lasted for about ten minutes.

Anyway, my hair is now a bit more manageable and doesn’t weigh a ton.
