A Week of What Not To Do - Thursday

A Week of What Not To Do – Thursday

Christmas had come and gone and with it, brought the cutest ski jacket I had ever laid eyes on! Winter was in full force and we decided to go skiing.

Like any teenager, I was so excited. There would be fresh powder and lots of lots of boys!

The sun had been out and the forecast was sunny. I decided I wanted this to be a special day.

I had really wanted to try something new and I got the best idea. I would highlight my hair! I could just see it. It would look so cute on the slopes with my new ski attire.

So, I took a bottle of Sun In and sprayed it in perfect streaks framing my face. I turned the blow dryer on high and let it sit there. I could see the hair lightening. It took a long time as it went from black, the brown, the auburn, to orange to sunset orange and them lemon pudding yellow.

It was fabulous! And now that my hair was so light, I bet a fun color would actually show up nicely.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of food coloring we used when we make frosting and Easter eggs. That stuff wouldn’t come off hands for days!

I took a towel and blotted a large amount of red food coloring on the towel. Then I pinched the saturated towel on my hair and ran it down slowly until it reached the end.

Unbelievable! This was so cool!

Then I took the blue and did the same thing on the on the other side.

I finished my look with some curling, styling and lots of Aqua Net. I wanted this to hold all day.

I was ready to go!

The skiing was great. My sister Heather and I flirted big time with every boy would could. I even got a compliment on my funky hair from the ski lift operator.

I blushed.

Everything was perfect, until, it started to snow.

Little by little my hair dampened and beads of slushy wet snow started to drip down the ends of my hair and my bangs and ran down my face.

Anyway, I can’t talk about this anymore…..
