Balayage - yes or no?

So I just learned of this new hair color technique called Balayage.

This is how Hair Romance described the technique;

 "Balayage is a free-hand colour technique that creates a graduated colour effect. Highlights are handpainted in to the midlengths to ends of the hair, so that the colour lightens gradually towards the ends of the hair. Balayage varies from a gentle 'sun-kissed' look or a more dramatic dip dye look. As it is a free-hand colour application, there are infinite results and it all depends on what you ask for and the skill of your  stylist."

Now, I would like your opinion...I'm thinking I may try going a little darker (closer to my natural color), but i don't want to dye all my hair at once...I think this is a more gradual way of doing it...do you like this look? what do you think? Is it a yes or no?

Niagara on the Lake

A few weeks my cousin and I headed North to
Niagara on the Lake, Ontario (yes that's the cities name).
It is SO gorgeous there, and such a beautiful place to spend the day,
or even the weekend at one of the Bed & Breakfasts.

We stopped at the Niagara on the Lake Golf Club for lunch.
It is the only restaurant there on the lake, and the food was great too.
We had tomato soup with sandwiches;
Tanya had a country club and I had a Reuben.
It was so good, I would recommend it to everyone.

Say Something Nice

Check out this video...this is by a collaborative called ImprovEverywhere. They set up a megaphone in NYC and allowed people to come up to say something nice...you can also check out more of their projects here on YouTube.

Tomatoes & Strawberries!

Look at these tomatoes and strawberries...they are SO good...this is about the 3rd or 4th time I have picked this much fruit...it's awesome to have watched everything grown and then enjoy it after, but much more to go! :)

DIY Feather Extensions

I realized the feather hair extensions I mentioned before are kinda expensive...about $20 PER FEATHER! So here is a video on DIY Feather Extensions...looks pretty easy! :-)

I also bought these feathers at Fuego.

They were only about $3 for the set and just come on a bobby pin.

Easy to put in and out :-)

Pretty Brows

A little while back I learned how to trim and tweeze my brows correctly.

I never had a chance to take pics and show you how to do it,

but I just came across these pics and exactly how I do it! :)

credit

1. Brush your brows upwards.

2. Trip any hairs above your natural brow line - don't trim them too short!

3. Tweeze any hairs that stand out.

4. Tweeze all the tiny hairs to shape your brows.

5. The inside of your brows should line up a little to the inside of the side of your nose.

6. Your arch should be about 45 degree from the side of your nose.

7. The end of your brow should be about 65 degrees from the side of your nose.

8. And lastly fill in your brows if needed - I don't do it, and don't recommend it...I really don't like when you can see that someone filled in their brows.

Hope this helped you! :)
