BCOF Day 617 July 28th

Prompt: "The serene philosophy of the pink rose is steadying. Its fragrant, delicate petals open fully and are ready to fall, without regret or disillusion, after only a day in the sun. It is so every summer. One can almost hear their pink, fragrant murmur as they settle down upon the grass: 'Summer, summer, it will always be summer.'" - Rachel Peden What is your serene philosophy? or What is summer to you? Chose the question you like best or answer both of them whichever you like.



It might not seem serene, but it creates serenity to me. It is the one flower in nature that I turn too when adversity is knocking at my door. Which is quite often For me when adversity strikes, I know that it is an opportunity for growth and thus serenity at the end of it because I have grown yet again as a person. That flower is the Lotus flower. The lotus flower starts as a seed deep down in the depths of murky mud at the bottom of a lake or pond. For the Lotus flower to grow to it's full blossoming, spectacular potential it must endure great adversity. It must be strong and determined to push through the mud and then venture through the darkened waters to finally reach the clear hot sun. Then and only then can it display it's true beauty and glory for all to see. The reward for doing so is very great, as the lotus is breathtakingly a wonder to see in full bloom and it's pride and joy is very clear to see. This image creates true serenity for me.

Interestingly enough I link it to Summer as well. Three times I have had the priveledge to travel to Bali. It is very hot and tropical there, even in the rainy season it still feels like summer. Every time I go, the thing I look forward to the most is being able to spend time in the gardens of the hotel and take in the wonder and beauty of the lotus flower. The lotus flower reminds me of the deep serenity I have had and can have in this life.



Blog City Day 147 July 28th

Prompt: Name 10 things that you think make people interesting.

Well My head has already gone off on lots of tangents about this one!*Laugh* 1) Down to earth, REAL people I truly find interesting. Especially when I get glimpses of the the 'story' behind the person. This facinates me. I love people! Actually I am not sure now if I can come up with ten!

2) I think the shy quiet person is interesting too, because then I can sit and wonder what their story is and how they got to be like that.*Smile*

I realise that every person is interesting to me in some way shape or form. It is probalby easier for me to tell you what doesn't interest me!

The number one thing that does not interest me is fake, judgmental people who have no concept of their own reality. All I want to do is walk up to them as say "how long has your head been so far up your A#% that you have become the person you are?" But social norms suggest I probably should not actually do or say this. So I refrain*Laugh*

And that is how I roll

Blog City Day 145 July 26th

Prompt:I am new to blogging. What pointers would you give me to become a good blogger? Do you think pictures are important in a blog? Music and links to information.

Well first of all I "AM" new to blogging so I will be reading everyone else's blog entries about this one to get their tips!

I think pictures in a blog are important (for the life of me I have not worked out how to do that yet) I do think It is great to have music and links to information. If I have time I know I have something interesting to listen too and if it is a subject I am really interested in I at least I have the option to follow up on the information being shared. It is also a good insight into other bloggers a way of getting to know them better.

BCOF Day 615 July 26th

Prompt: Pick a song or group of songs that you enjoy and use several lyric lines to tell a story about you. It can be comical or serious. However don't tell us the song or who sang it. Lets see who guesses right.



Does an Angel contemplate my fate! This is something I wonder?

I was a teenage alcoholic. I'm not expecting sympathy, that is not something I need or want. It is something I sit and talk to God about, when I am feeling weak and my pain sends me down a oneway street.

I left home at 14 just turning 15. My Mum did'nt hold my hand. I moved in with my boyfriend and his alcoholic Father. I remember thinking, I just wanna feel real love.

Before long I was drinking every night with Simon's Dad Tony - thankyou for keeping me company!

Simon was a very jelous and controlling young boy. Although there was a lot of love and affection there was also a lot of emotional and pyschological abuse. I remember the day I moved in and we met in the hallway as I was moving my stuff in and he stopped me and said "if you ever try to leave me, I will shoot your kneecaps off!" That freaked me out alot, especially as I knew his father had a gun hidden under the floorboards of his bedroom. Needless to say I realised I was trapped.

I was'nt me when we met, I was a lost soul.

I remember nearly everynight crying in the bathroom, staring in the mirror and pleading with god I don't wanna die, but I ain't keen on living either!

I always had a strong belief in spirit guides and Angels. I truly felt it was them keeping me alive. I would scare myself to death, especially the night I woke up vomiting in my sleep and nearly killed myself because I had breathed in some vomt into my lungs. Through it all she offered me protection, because without thinking about it I punched myself in the sternum and managed to dislodge what was blocking my airways.

These day's I know salvation lets their wings unfold and I know I will always be blessed with love from the purist source of the Divine. And I know that life won't break me.

I often wonder where we go, when we are grey and old. I also wonder how I have managed to stay alive all this time. So when I am lying in my bed at night, with thoughts running through my head and I am feeling that life is hopeless and that love is dead. I'm loving Angel's instead.

- This is a true story and I am truly blessed by Angels-

I have used lyrics from one artist but three different songs.

And that is how I roll!

Blessings

Blog City Day 144 July 25th

Prompt: We blog everyday with eachother, read eachothers thoughts and form this visual image in our mind...Tell us more about the images you have formed. Yes what image do you have in mind.



Well this is an interesting one for me. Because I am not acctually the kind of person who forms visual images of people. I for what I "feel" about a person. So I have really had to have a think about this one. I have only written about a few people because I only have interacted with a few so far.

Lyn's a Witchy Woman I am thinking you have long dark brown hair, conservativley dresses but with a sublte streak of rebel, Slim build. Both pysically and mentally strong and maybe wear glasses.

Charlie ~ Well we all know Charlie does'nt have blonde hair. But I did think of him with short/long dirty blonde with the messy look.

Tall, solid yet muscley build. I know he dresses casual.

~Lifelessons~ shoulder length dark hair, maybe wears glasses, slight build but very strong physically and mentally again. Someone who like commy casual clothes and she always has a pair of garden gloves in her back pocket, just in case there is some gardening to be done.

Princess Megan Rose 22 Years A petite slight woman with long golden hair. maybe a streak of "indi" in how she dresses.

Future Mrs. B Well I already know what Jess looks like. I did actually think she would have shoulder length hair, instead it is long

Fivesixer Well I also know what he looks like, I thought it was true to what I was expecting.

Mitchopolis This is so hard... Well I know Mitch loves beer! hmm...solid build but I am thinking maybe a neat short hairstyle. And dresses smart as well.

Cinn Really laid back maybe a hippie kind of look to her. Slight build.

Marci Missing Everyone Cool, hip and hapenning! (hope that makes sense)

That was really hard! As I say I don't usually do the mental image thing. What I do think is that you all are extremley intelligent and educated,all so wonderfully helpfull and you must all suffer from insomnia...*Laugh* because you all do so much and get so much done. Very impressive.*Burstr*

BCOF: Day 614 July 25th

Prompt:we are all bloggers...have you ever wondered what does it take to get a comment? do you think you get enough comments? What constitutes enough?

Unfortunatley I do not get enough time to always read each blog. I so wish I did. I try and steal little morsels of time throughout the day and jump on and check someone's out. I think to get comments you have to read others blog's and comment them. I know the days I have'nt manged to get to anyone's blog are the days I don't get any...But I know it is give and take and also I am just getting started. I am also aware that I rush a lot so my entries can be a bit blah! I need to work on chillin a bit more and going with the flow more.

You can never have enough comments! *Laugh*

And that is how I roll.

Blessings

Blog City: Day 123 July 24th

prompt: Write about the rainbows in your clouds.

This is really appropriate considering my day yesterday. I had a 'Rainbow in my cloud" blessing.

My beautiful Mahalia (16) is suffering depression and anxiety at this time in her life. She is struggling so much, it is painful to see. Yesterday morning we had yet another meeting at the her high school she attends only this time her private psychologist attended as well. The meeting as a whole went well however my daughter shed tears. Mahalia is not the kind of person that cries easily, especially in front of 6 other adults. This of course let me to cry, seeing her so deeply hurting. So this was not just her cloud but our whole family's cloud. I then rushed her home picked up Anisa (13) and took her to her tutor. While she was in tutoring I contacted my 18 yr old daughter/cousin Ashlee and said "get yourself ready I am coming to pick you up, lets have a girls lunch"

Anisa and myself picked Ash up and headed home to get Mahalia. We ventured to Claremont to a little cafe/resturant called Grills and sat down to eat. ( This is something we rarley do as I usually just don't have the money) And here is my rainbow. Just having Ashlee there, who is her own walking power house of energy, changed the whole atmosphere. The four of us sat there and just laughed and laughed. It was a monent in time I will cherish. There we were, in the here and now, without a care in the world. Happy and joyous. It was the brightest rainbow I have had in a long time in my clouds. I will cherish it forever.

Mahalia and Anisa then begged Ashlee to stay the night with us so she blew off going out with her boyfriend and it was wonderful to have all my 5 children under the same roof, even if it was just for one night. Yet another rainbow in my clouds.

I love rainbows, those little moments in time, where I can say "heck! life is still okay"



BCOF: Day 613 July 24th

Prompt: In Aesop's fable about the crow and the pitcher, a thirsty bird happens upon a vessel of water but when he trys to drink from it, he finds the water level out of his reach. Not strong enough to knock over the pitcher, the bird drops pebbles into it--one at a time==until the water level rises enough for him to drink his fill. What do you think? Can a crow actually do this or is it really a fable.



Definately I believe that a crow could do this. Have you ever watched crow? To me they seem quite intelligent. I think the crow would easily work work out that to get his fill he would have to raise the water level. Crows have great meaning in many cultures and religions/spirituallity. I do not think this is a coincidence. The crow represents so many qualities and crafty,cunning and problem solving is definatley part of a crows makeup.

And thats how I roll!

Blog City" Day 144 July 23rd

Prompt: Have you ever had a red carpet momennt? Not like an actor but a Wedding, Prom or something that made you feel important or special.

Well unfortunatley I have not had the pleasure of ever having someone declare there love for me in front of friends and family and the divine! (no bitterness at all about that.) I did have the opportunity of getting engaged twice though. The first one is the one I will always remember. We set up a lovely white tent top and had a picnic at our local park right in the middle of Fremantle. It was one of the best days I have had where it was all about me. I had family and friends around, and all were happy for "ME". I was the happiest person on the planet back then. we just won't mention the fact that Kevin then went to India for three months to "find himself" and he found he didn't want to get married so sent me a letter saying it was off. oh, but I want to be with you for the rest of my life! WTF!



Anyways, I have not given up. Getting married is still on my wish list. But if it does'nt happen resonably soon I may have to transfer it to my bucket list!*Laugh*

I never got to go to a school ball, as I got expelled from school at the end of year nine. Go me, Not. (Oh I see you all say, Awww no wonder she can't spell,punctuate and be grammatically correct.)*Laugh*

BCOF: Day 612 July 23rd

Prompt: Wacky Wednesday. According to the Marrian-Webster on-line dictionary. Wacky refers to something "amusing and very strange" or absurdly or amusingly eccentric or irrational" Write something wacky.

I have a little bit of 'Wacky"' and eccentric in me...unfortunatley you have'nt had the privledge of seeing if in it's full form yet. (my zing is falling short at the moment). But I have wacky dialouge going through my head all the time. It's exhausting to say the least. It runs through my head at a thousand miles an hour. It goes to fast to write it down. Now the prompt said to write something wacky, not something wacky about myself. Which is all I have done so far. Hmm...thinking! I might leave it for the morning when I wake and give it a wirl then. See you in the morning...

Morning all I am back for my completion of Wacky wednesday.



There's lives a girl from Perth

Hair like the sun...coloured for fun

Converse will dane her feet

although her outfit requires some sleek.



Her hairs every colour and shaved

her bogan comes out to play

her 98 comodoore belts out the ballads

as she cruizes by the quiet bay



Shopping for her is a chore

she grooves to the tunes in the store

her son take a peak rolls his eyes in defeat

why does mum have to shop where I work



intelligent she may be

But she curses just like a he

It rolls of her tongue dropped jaws then do come

F#%@ It they need a good dose of me.



And that is how I roll

BCOF:Day 611 July 22

Prompt:Write a letter to the personality trait you like least. Convincing it to shape up or ship out. be as threatening, theatrical thoroughly charming as is necessarey to get the job done.


Blog City: day 141 July 22

Prompt: Family History. Rip out a page from yours and share some, a story or two.




Personality Traits. HUH! makes me giggle somewhat. Oh the path that has been travelled so far. I will be writting to my personality trait called "Party Girl". She is my teenage rebel that likes to have full control. (I shan't be threatening to her though!*Smile*



Dear Party Girl.

It has been a while since we have spoken. I deeply apologise for that. I am writting today to thank you for being there for me. For taking charge when no one else would. However It is now my turn to look after you. To be the adult you have craved to have in your life, for a long time. I need you to sit back for the ride now...Chillax.(remember I am talking to a teenager!)

I am not in need of any wild idea's or far off fantasy's of running away from it all. I am aware you find life very challenging at this time, because it is a life full of rules and responsability. I know you hate those two words and I fully understand that.

Even as I sit here writiing this you are challenging me to "blow off" everything, Jump on a bus to anywhere and just leave and start a new life under a new name and live care free. We can't do that and we shan't be doing that. (at least not today!)

know that I love you always and I will do everything in my power to guide and protect you. But please I plead with you. No more can I lose myself to you.

I can feel your eagerness, you waiting for something to happen. Do not panic. I am sure with all these rules and responsabilities we will get one day just to blow everythig off. I will let you enjoy that day.

Live and love party girl.

Blessings from your adult Andi



BCOF



Well I have no wonderful exciting tales to tell of great people in my family history. Because I know so little aboout it. I never even met any of my Father's side of the family and yet I know that some of them live only a few suburbs away. Which is really bizarre.

I don't remember my mum or Nan ever talking about our family going back ever. It's like they just didn't exist.

Australia as you know is a new country. So you only have to go back a couple of generations to find that our family came from English herritage. I did start doing our family geneology a while back but I had so much going on I couldn't focus. When I have the money I would like to hire some expert to do it. That would be cool to find out where and who I came from.

The most interesting thing I ever got told was that my Great Grandad built our house that we grew up in as kids by hand. And it was the first house on the street. The rest was just bushland and it is a suburb just on the outskirts of Perth City itself.

Okay! well I think I am going to have a look into my history a bit more.

And that is how I roll today!

BCOF: July 21st

Prompt: Is it blue Monday. Write a story or poem about a blue Monday. If you don't like the colour blue, write about Monday being your favourite colour.


Blog City: Day 140 July 21st

Prompt: Pick a headline from you local newspaper or favourite online news source and share your feelings about it.





When I first read this prompt it sent me into a rant in my own head. It was classic! It went for a good 45 mins, it went on and on...then took off on different tangents. At first it was all about Mondays which then led me to Tuesday, which then led me to...(and you get where I am going with that!) Then I ranted and raved about how I could possibly give only one colour to the day.

It was totally exhausting and travelled at a speed that I can't possibly keep up to right down, in the then and there time. When I go on my internal rants I just have to let go and let them unfold. I step back from myself and watch it like someone would sit back and watch a movie. I was still ranting when I got to my first appointment of the day. I found I had a bit of time to wait so It was an opportunity to get my blogs written. I did really want to write a short stroy, however time just didn't permit today so I penned this poem in the Doctor's waiting room.

COLOURS OF MONDAY



Black as black,

Shades of grey,

Pink's and purples

all in MONDAY.



Flying high,

Take a dive.

Black to purple,

Mass disorder.



Green as grass,

Comes to pass.

please let them stay,

Greys swirl away.



Black as black

Shades of grey.

Pink's and purples

All in MONDAY.


Blog City:

Firstly! I hate reading the newspaper. Even on-line. (So it isn't directly related to me hating touching paper so much, that it creates the facial and body reactions to someone hearing nails being scratched down a black board. FYI...it makes reading books even more challenging when you can't touch the paper it is written on.*Laugh* *Laugh*

So specifically for this I headed on-line to see what's in the news. Out of 10 headlines 8 were related to explosion of flight MH17.

I did'nt...

HOLD EVERYTHING! I just had to leave my blog and drive and pick Channing up from work, and I just saw THE most amazing rainbow, a full arc across a deep blackend sky. Blessing of the day or WHAT!...I can truly say now that Monday was filled with every colour of the rainbow!!!! *Laugh*

Ok back to business. I didn't read the whole story but the head line was "Tony Abbott warns against Russia veto of MH17 Probe"

So the question was how do I "feel" about it. I feel shocked and horified. I feel that world is growing more insane as each day goes by. I feel this is a tragedy. I feel for the families, who lost their child, husband, wife, sister, brother, grandchild...Family. I feel sad for the people who did this...what are there days filled with, but killing, killing and more killing. Then I found my thoughts drift to the 200 young Muslim girls who were abducted over three months ago from their school in Nigeria. How have their lives been turned so completly upside down and inside out. After the initial report of their abduction, there has been no reports of it since. This makes me feel disgusted and horrified.

Yes Flight MH17 is tragic but is it more tragic than 200 young girls being abducted. No it isn't. But I don't hear Tony Abbott speaking up about this and demanding action, and why? because Nigeria is not a super power, there are no political brownie points to be gained. This is all front, all political propganda.

And that is how I roll today

Firstly thank you for my wonderful merit badge. I am sooooooooo excited!





Blog City Day 138 July 19th

Prompt: How do you feel about genetically modified food? Should companies be made to label their food if it contains Genetically modified ingredients.

I really don't like the idea of modifying and manipulating nature. GM foods here in Aust legally have to print on the label if it is a GM food. however, there is always a loop hole. This is the insert from the Australian governent wesite.

Exemptions from GM labelling.

GM foods that do not contain any novel DNA or protein or altered characteristics do not require labelling. A decision not to label these foods was made because the composition and characteristics of these foods is exactly the same as the non-GM food. These foods are typically highly refined foods, such as sugars and oils, where processing has removed DNA and protein from the food, including novel DNA and novel protein.

Flavours containing novel DNA or protein in a concentration of no more than 0.1% are also exempt from labelling.

Labelling is also not required when there is no more than 1% (per ingredient) of an approved GM food unintentionally present as an ingredient or processing aid in a non-GM food. This means labelling is not required when a manufacturer genuinely orders non-GM ingredients but finds that up to 1% of an approved GM ingredient is accidentally mixed in non-GM ingredient.



None of the above exemptions apply if the GM food has altered characteristics.


So pretty much companies can manipulate to get their GM product out there. Half the time we have no idea what we are eating

My ideal is to stay away from all the refined and highly processed foods. This in itself can be a challenge sometimes.

I just did a quick search GM foods are linked to causing cancer, caeliac disese, increase in allergies, ADHA,Birth defects and autism. And these are just the few that I had come up. This just is not a safe practice and we as human beings are not designed to ingest ingredients that have been modified. Our bodies cannot recognise the food and thus does not know how to eliminate it, so it ends up storing the toxins, in places like our liver or heart and other organs.

This could lead me onto a whole other rant about microwaves. But i will save that for another time!*Smile*

So I say NO! to GM foods

BCOF day 609 July 19th

Prompt: How much does clutter that fills our closets describe us?

As my heading suggests. I am the queen of clutter. I am definatley one of those people, (if left to myself) that could end up on that reality TV show called 'Hoarders" I have draws, cupboards and every possible nook and cranny filled with 'stuff" that I am aboslutley sure I am going to need one day! *Laugh*

What does this say about me? Well in psychological terms, it is actually a reflection of my mind, which is pretty scarey at times.*Laugh* If my home is cluttered, then so is my mind. If my mind is cluttered then so is my home. So I can't bloody win either way *Rolleyes*

And that's How I roll!

Blog City Double Funny Friday. Day 137 July 18th:

Prompt1:What completley silly fad have you fallen victim to?

Prompt 2: Do you think stress undermines empathic abilities? It it different for men and women?



Well the stress of two + prompts a day is making me less empathic stronger and creating greater learning for me, by the day. I thank you! *Laugh*



Well I certainly do not want to blow my own trumpet...but in the eighty's when I was a teen, mate, I made the fads! *Laugh*

This little black duck did'nt like following in anyone else's footsteps...I made them walk in mine!

It was me who started the fashion at 'Hollywood Highschool" (no not in the US people, we have a little suburb called Hollywood here in Perth.) of wearing all-star gym boots with our uniform...then later the trend that swept the school of wearing rubber gum boots! Needless to say my best mate Lee (a guy) gave me the knickname of 'Boots'..So me fall for silly fads...my ego is exploding at the moment so of course I cannot at this time remember when I!...fell for a silly fad. Phew! *Laugh*



Empathy. I am an empath by nature. It is my personality. I will feel everything that you feel. I will shed your tears, when you are pained, I will laugh when I feel your joy,I will smile when I feel your happiness, I will worry when I feel your insecurities and doubt.But most of all I will love you like you have never been loved, even when you don't love me back. yeah that last one does'nt work to well for me aye!.

. I cannot talk for all women and I never will because I know there are some terrible women out there. But mostly I think us women just get on with it. We kinda have now choice. When stress is high, yes I am less empathetic...how could I not be...I am 'WOMAN" but I am also human.

Now Men...Ohhhhhhhh men! I of course have a poor reference base to go on. So this is not an all out 'lets have a go at men' but my choice in men over the years...well...has been questionalble. The fist man I think of is the big kids Dad, whom I spent 15 years with before we finally seperated only to continue to be a huge part of his life as we choose to co-parent our kids. I just heard you go awwww! Yeah well today he is doing my head in I am like "I AM NOT YOUR FRICKIN WIFE, I AM NOT HERE TO COOK YOUR FRICKIN DINNER AND CLEAN YOUR FRICKIN CLOTHES MATE! MATE! Just had to emphasis calling him Mate! he hates that,

Anyway this is my first reference point this is Kevin: Oh my daughter is suffering psychologically and is showing signs of having an ED so I know how I can support her and her mother who deals with all the shit day in and day out, gets her to all her appts, bloods tests weekly, psychologist, GP,and now psychiatrist...I'll put my back out, like I always do when I am under stress and go lay in bed for two weeks! But I won't think to go see a doctor or a chiropractor or help myself, cause I am just going to lie here and everyone has to feel sorry for me and give me attention! So does he lose empathy under stress...yes he does...and he is rendered useless.

Next we have Taj's Dad, Peter (next shitty reference point) Oh Amanda, you just text me this short story about Taj, my son, about how he does't eat and you are on a trail of doctors and specialists and how you are so worried about him...how his iron is so low he barley has the energy to play at the park he gets so tired...and he has had 4 viruses consequetivley since May... But you know what I am going to text back to you...because I could'nt possible ring and speak to my son... I am going to text "yeah! I have been feeling pretty shit too!"

REALLY! REALLY! That's the best you can do MATE! Empathy...I don't think he even knows that the word exists, let alone what it means!

Then there is reference point number 3. Warren his name is, have known him for about 5 yrs. we were lovers/girlfriend/boyfriend. He has commitment issues, hence he is now an EX.Oh Amanda...I see your really suffering, tears falling down your face, you are usually so strong so you must really be struggling to share this with me, so you know what my reponse is gonna be..."I'm so stressed out about my up coming exam at Uni" REALLY!, REALLY!

REALLY! REALLY! Thats all you've got to say MATE!

Wow! that was very cathartic.*Laugh*

So as you can see I have'nt got the best opinion of how men cope with or show emapthy under stress. However, I do know you guys are out there. Epecially the wonderful men who frequent WDC...Did I save myself there!



BCOF: Day 607 July 18th

Prompt:What is your favourite resturant

In 2010 I decided to re-locate to Queensland with my sister and her family and I took the two girls and Taj of course. My big boy did'nt want to come so he stayed in Perth with his Dad (reference point number 1). It was a strange time. My sister and brother-in-law could not find work on the Gold Coast and if they did'nt work, then I and Mum suffered. (Mum lived with me back then). Anyways...long story short it was a fail every one ended back her in Perth. I had a really bad bout of "The Black Dog" so got left behind in a clinic...so much love!. I made a few lovely friends and I was introduced to 'Monty Zuma's" The, most fabulously delicious mexican resturant I have ever been too. Yum! I got to go there on several occasions (more times than I have actually been to resturants in general in my life!)

Unfortunatley, there is not one in Perth. I find myself often thinking of that resturant...Good memories.



And that's my spin on today's prompts.

BCOF: Day 606 July 17th

Prompt: People spend a lot of time on their hair. Does you hair colour or style say anthing about you?



My hair says something different about me nearly every day. some days when it is blow dried and ultra curly it says I had a shower today!. When it is pulled back in a low pony tail and just plain looking drab it says I did't have time for a shower today!

When it is in a high pony tail it says...My hair is really pissing me off today and if it falls in my face again... *Angry*

when it hangs drab but in a middle part it says...I really do not care if the earth swollows me up right now! If it is shaved to a number one it says...Yes I am crazy! do you want to join me in crazy land?



And as for colour: My hair changes colour quite often. right now it is bringing my 'inner' bogan into my 'outer' bogan. I died it blonde recently but unfortuantley for me I bought a brand that didn't have the 'anti orange' componant in it. I also have dark regrow showing. So...it isn't really a good look. but i cannot decide wether to go a light brown and be 'conventional' or go a deep purple.

the orange blonde says...I stuffed up big time and yet I can't be bothered to do anything about it!

And that is my spin on hair.

Blessings

Andi
