instagram bombards me with makeup artists and mermaid hair (cringe) accounts all day, erryday.  i sometimes get really inspired to follow one here and there, but i honestly get bored of them easily.  there are only so many teal or piss-yellow haired selfies i can look at per day.  i think the alternative hair just takes over as a personality, and i don’t even look at the makeup for inspiration anymore.  in fact, any account that’s just focused on one thing usually gets an unfollow pretty quickly.

as with everything shoved in your face in 2017, i realized how dumb these posts/accounts are making people.  because of social media, women are holding themselves to this ridiculous standard that people are really that perfect, easily and often.  that’s bullshit, and as much as people may enjoy applying makeup or dying their hair (guilty), it catches up to them when they have dedicated accounts.  there are plenty of articles online where these girls come clean about the pressures.  it’s like a pride thing for people not to admit that it’s not easy or annoying.

i’d like to help people that don’t know this type of stuff.
let me break the reality down for you:

i don’t know what to do with my hair!!!

i want to go red again (all over) and dye the front/left or maybe the entire front section/bangs teal, and i’ll probably do the tips black, that’s how i had it the last time.

BUT then again, i just bleached the front/left section and now it’s just waiting for something.  more bleach?  a colour?  right now it’s my natural dark brown all over with the front/left and half of my bangs bleached, with some old green showing through, so it’s minty…  i was bleaching my bangs so that i could get all of the summer blue out, and i was going to do enchanted forest again.  lie locks has been pulling at my heart strings though.

do dark green and fluorescent purple go together?

of course, why am i even wondering?

then i’m thinking, well if i don’t go red again, should i just go black again?

black, fluorescent purple, white and dark green…

hmm.

first off, i hate the term “tween”, but i’m using it because it is an accurate term used via this article…

okay the whole hair removal thing… i 10000000000% agree that tweeny eyebrows should be taken care of… case in point, the image below… my eyebrows were about this FULL from ages 9/10 moving forward, until the ripe age of 16 (when i decided to go behind my mothers back and wax them fuckers down). my mother is always going on and on with “you were so beautiful” and “you were a natural beauty”, but come on… seriously? they were horrible. and once i hit junior high school, them shits should have been taken care of. i mean, junior high school is when all the social shit really kicks in. first kisses, first boyfriends, dances, etc… she couldn’t help me out? even today first thing out of her mouth is shit like “brooke shields eyebrows were full and beautiful”… um, we (unfortunately) aren’t in the 80’s… what was she thinking?!
