Britelites Color

Confession: I really don’t know why I chopped off my hair. Not only because I miss the length, but also because I basically had a killer ombre that had barely faded. Ever since then, I have missed my fun locks more than anything, so when I stumbled on Britelites, I knew I had to give it a go! It’s temporary hair color that you simply just roll onto your hair. You may think this sounds like hair chalk, but the difference is that it is vibrant (even on dark hair) and lasts!


I had a blast playing with all the colors (for this post, I used the red, blue & purple), and loved the results! Warning: it can get messy, but it easily washes off with soap and water. And definitely do not be afraid to use multiple shades – that’s what really creates bright and bold hues. I personally can’t wait to give it another go for this week’s Swim Week events!

What I Wore: Key West

There are very few places I love more than Key West. The laid back, beachy vibe suits me so well. The minute I arrive, I want to head straight to either The Green Parrot or Fat Tuesday, grab a drink infused with some kind of rum, and relax. There is no rush (only for your next drink), no place to be, no dress code. Oh, & it’s beautiful. Especially when the sun is shining and your friends are by your side. Is there anything better? I think not.

A Little Me Time

After some rough weeks, I thought it was time to have a little “me” day. Although, I’m pretty sure my idea of a “me” day is different from other girls. For me, it was getting a crazy-colored dye job and a fandom tattoo! I couldn’t be happier.

I’d just like to say that my hair stylist is the bomb. She always knows exactly what would work great with my style and isn’t afraid to take the risks I ask her to. If any of you readers are in the South Florida area, I can’t recommend Valerie at Kendall’s Peter of London enough. My orange and purple ombre is beyond. BEYOND. I think this one has even topped the pink!

Later that night, I was able to finally put my fandom (and endurance) to the test by tattooing the deathly hallows on my ribs. It had been something my best friend and the hubs had wanted to do as a bonding experience and although it didn’t work quite as planned (we just couldn’t sync up), it is pretty special. Another great recommendation if you are looking for a fantastic tattoo artist is Javier Betancourt at Ocho Placas – he did such an amazing job and has great “bedside manner.”

How was your weekend?

Risky Business

It’s been a tough week.
I got sick while on vacation, and it has proven to be the never ending stomach bug. I’m still sick as we speak, but I’m slowly improving. I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, so I won’t focus on that. Instead, check out the huge risk I decided to take with my hair before leaving on vacation:

Pink ombre!

While searching through Pinterest, I had seen such awesome fashion colored ombre hairstyles, and wanted one to call my own! Now that I don’t work in an office, I figured it was my time to have a little fun. Five hours in a salon later, my hairstylist did a fantastic job making it a reality! I am so happy with it – especially how long it has lasted! Two weeks later and it still is pretty vibrant and beautiful. If you are in the South Florida area and looking for a talented hair dresser, I totally recommend Valerie from Peter of London. She has never steered me wrong!
