The Blonde debate and other Sunday musings

So far, this blonde experiment is going well. Blonde definitely seems more approachable than brunette and morning preparation time is quicker. If anything, this is a strange one, service is slower. I must seem easy going and chilled. I guess, I feel a little like that too.

What a beautiful morning on the waterfront! Scarborough beach was gorgeous, water sparkly and the perfect temperature for a early morning outing with my girls. Walking along the beach, it was so peaceful, sand squeaking under my feet, salty breeze, soft little waves, gentle sun. I am constantly reminded how lucky we are to live here.

Also, completely different subject, I went to Chermside for the first time in months. I was relieved the first 3 hours of parking are free. I love that they tell you how many car parks are free up each aisle. I guess the new chilled, relaxed side of me only sees the positives. Maybe when I am back to brunette, I'll be annoyed and pressured by the 3 hour free limit. Until then, chill baby!

Brunette, Red, Blonde.....

Do you think changing your hair colour, slightly changes your personality, or do people just view you differently?

I have had quite the ride this year. After being a proud brunette for years, I took a swim in the redhead pool. I really liked the red and people seemed to find me more approachable. Men seem to really like it - except for my husband. But the red was too much work. Both in maintaining the colour and wearing enough makeup to balance it.

Anyway, this week I went blonde (or Bronde as my girls call it, a bit blonde and a bit brown). I never thought I would ever go light. I am surprised when I catch a glimpse of this in a mirror, but I think I am going to love it. Makeup is definitely easier. I feel summery and lower-maintenance (expect for the trips to Toni at Beautiful You to maintain the low maintenance look).

I am going to be paying close attention to see if people treat me differently than red or brown. I haven't told my husband yet, I wonder if he will notice.
