It’s also kinda gross when it’s been revealed that a lot of extensions we use for our hair contain nasty chemicals. So even if you didn’t chemically treat your hair, you were still exposed to bad chemicals by other means. Makes me so glad I have microlocs!

I’d pick top left because I do a lot of walking and also because the boots look durable. While I don’t mind heeled boots, I would only wear them to dinner or some other event that calls for dressing a bit nicer and I don’t do that often enough. The bottom left is just “eh” so I wouldn’t pick it.

I’m getting the bottom half of my hair dyed burgundy. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gotten my hair professionally done and I’m excited. I love the color red and I’m excited to do something just because I want to.

I do feel much better after taking a nap in the afternoon, but until I got rest, it was a very bad feeling. Just 4 more weeks left and I’m free!

I have 4 weeks left of college and am a shell of myself. On my second cup of coffee today and I still have several chapters to get through, 3 discussion posts and two papers that I’d like to get done by Saturday (Friday is the best case scenario) so I can rest on Sunday.

But on the plus side, I get my hair done Wednesday!!! I’m holding out until then

This is why i’m doing Ombre. I can’t afford to go to a salon regularly for dye touch ups. My belief is that if I go ombre, then as my hair grows it’s not a big deal. Here’s the vision:

This color:

And I want it to flow like this:

I have 5 more weeks until I’m finally done with my college degree, but I don’t wanna do work. Like no, I don’t wanna read about copyright law in my communication law and ethics course, I wanna walk around outside in the beautiful spring weather (ofc I’m gonna do it because I literally have my cap and gown and it would be embarrassing to fail this late in the game).

Also I get my hair done next week: dying my hair an ombre burgundy! Be prepared for a hair post when it happens. I’ve always wanted to dye my hair a fun color.

They did a fantastic job!!!

Love it! Hands being two different colors is always a good time

There is such a thing as glass dip pens (I had one and was too rough with it, so it broke :') ), but I like using fountain pens that suck up ink via a spring or piston filled mechanism. I only fool around with fountain pens because I like playing with fun ink and being a weirdo. This is my TWSBI Eco (Fine nib) inked with Noodler’s Cardinal Kestral.

Some would argue that there is a proper grip to hold fountain pens, but I found that the normal way I write is good enough. I always enjoyed writing in cursive, and I take a lot of notes (prayer journaling, getting my college degree, writing out my thoughts, etc.), so fountain pens indulge those activities.

If you like going down rabbit holes, here’s a blog post to learn more: https://www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Beginner-s-Guide-to-Fountain-Pens/pt/927. #twsbieco #fountainpens (idk may this reach the fountain pen people elsewhere in the Fediverse so they can add more)

Honestly, I feel that unless nails are noticeably missing chunks, it’s never that bad! Purple is rad!

Learn something new every day. Thanks!

One thing I noticed is that Beehaw doesn’t have hashtags. I’m on Pixelfed, but the photos that appear in my feed are based on hashtags I’ve chosen to follow that also have a photo. So I’m unsure how this post will get picked up on Pixelfed without any tags (I didn’t test that I could add #nails to the post and it’d work). But hey! You found me and that’s cool enough. Also thanks, glitter is great :D

Reading is fundamental! Sorry I didn’t see this. I’ll try to figure out how crossposting works on this site.
