Hair Color

I have almost had every existing hair color under the sun and probably stuck with red and ginger the most. 

The first time I colored my hair ginger was in the Summer break when I was 15. I was super excited and the color turned out great. I have loved it very much but it went away after a few hair washes.

Next time I colored my hair was after school when I was 16. I had lots of different colors from dark brown, to brown with hints of red, to blonde and bright red. 

But at some point I always came back to ginger or as my daughter says orange. Since having a second child I haven´t visited a salon. I´d rather save time and money and color my hair at home. The drug store has one permanent hair color I buy every single time. 

It is the L´Oréal Paris Préférence in the color 7.4 Dublin. I color my hair every 5 to 7 weeks. Depends on how washed out the color is and / or how much my hair has grown out. 

I personally like the color very much. It is easy to prepare, use and apply. I know that this is not an option for everyone cause my hair color is all over and that´t it. Highlights or other things won´t be as easy to achive at home.

Hair Tools

T3 Wand / My most prized possession, love it for my curls and use it on a weekly basis. I have different barrels for it but always use the 25mm. I am just the happiest with this outcome.

Remington Hair Straightener / This one is really simple and super old but it still does the trick. I mainly use it to straighten my bangs and that´s it.

Heatless Hair Curler / 

Hair Styles

My hair looks really glossy and is super shiny after styling it with heat tools but it has a natural curl in it which means everytime the humidity rises the frizz in my hair does too. I have tried every product under the sun and the only thing that helps here is a hair style. I can do a french braid or a pony tail or a bun and that looks just fine but any type of curl will be destroyed within minutes.

This is my kind of Summer dressing. A flowy, colorful skirt or dress and a linen blend vest or shirt. 

This looks very sophisticated and chic. Everything is from H&M and very affordable.

Weekly Review #22…

Weekly Review

We came back from our Summer vacation on Wednesday so it really only is a half week review.

My husband headed straight back to work on Thursday morning and I had playgroup with my youngest. Our daily routine had us back quite quick.

What we ate

Thursday – Was the day I went grocery shopping and I really got a lot of good and fresh stuff but didn’t take a single pic. We had burritos filled with minced meat, grated cheese, tomatoes and green olives.

Friday – DIY Pizza day – the girls made a ham and cheese pizza and I made a tonno, onion and olive version for us. 

Saturday – I made homemade chicken nuggets with fresh chicken and a breadcrumb-egg mixture. As a side I had a mediterranian salad for my husband and I and potatoes for the girls. 

Sunday – Lunch with my inlaws like every week. My MIL made spaghetti with meat sauce. A real family favorite.

What I wore

Luckily we took Summer right back home with us so good weather dressing continued.

What we did

There was no time waisted in setting up the splash pad. After six years it is still a family favorite for hot days and yes it is still the same. The best 14 Euro I have spent. Keeps the girls entertained for hours.

Also, yeah it’s finally peony season. The most beautiful but fragile flower I love so much.  Mine are blooming well this year and also survived a recent thunderstorm. 

Misc 

I also just realized that we are already on our next Summer adventure at the end of the week. I am so excited for this one, I can’t wait to share !!!! 

But time really flies when you have to pack and unpack and pack again in the time period of a week. I normally let the luggage sit for at least ten days when we are back home. 

Quote of the Week

„It’s finally hot enough to complain about how hot it is.“
