Autumn's Here!

Summer has gone and left us all now *sob sob* and if I'm entirely honest this summer's weather has been surprisingly gratifying and warm (not nearly as drizzly and stormy as expected).

Although I think now it is time to admit and apologize for my very, very long absence from BethKara. The truth? I had a major dilemma as to whether I wanted to carry on with my blog at all. I had lost inspiration and put myself down comparing my blog to others. I wasn't happy with the static 'category' I had put me and my little blog into. But I'm realizing now that I enjoy spilling my thoughts and opinions down and not to put me in a box. I want my blog to be about anything, including my thoughts, plans, adventures, down days, good days, and about my hair, my beauty products, my envy of peoples style. I want it to be a mash up of everything anyone may ever think or experience. Not just a label on some piece of internet. I won't it to be me, not someone I may pretend to be. It should be something I should look at be happy with, and if people enjoy reading my blog that is a very happy, fat, and hugely satisfying bonus.

Now my blog is going through it's transitional stage, I should share that my poor, poor, chemically tortured hair has too. Being a sheep in girl world I wanted to try out the 'go blonde for summer' for myself. changing my brown locks to sun soaked blonde ones. Lets just say that me and my friend had a lot of fun (with some definite trial and error- aka going out with loud brassy toned hair *coughcough*). 

So here is my hair journey in a few summer snaps:

My first transgression was more of a golden blonde as my hair was previously brown. Then a few weeks later I completely bleached it- I definitely made sure I gave it a good condition afterwards.

I enjoyed my blonde for a long time but didn't feel like keeping up with the roots. The colder days and winter dawning convinced me enough to go brown for winter. But I wanted to re-inject some fun, this encouraged my next hair decision. 

OMBRE! (squeaks with glee). I think is look is so fun and I wanted to give it another chance. As you can tell by the photos ombre hair can change your look in different lighting. 

At this point in this entry all I want to do is thank my little helper, aka little ball of fur (also an actual dog), Belle for helping me out by naughtily tapping along the keys during this post.

96 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. Yes I really have started counting already, yikes.
