Kool-Aid Girl

Okay so this weekend I did something silly and decided to highlight my hair with Kool-Aid. YES I did say Kool- Aid and YES it did turn out, I love it. Anyways I will spill the details. One sunny Saturday afternoon Kelcie, my little sister and I were at the local save on food going down the juice isle when we came across the Kool-Aid stand. Now for a long time I have wanted to do something a little funky and unexpected to my hair but I still wanted it to be appropriate for work, so I decided I wanted to do peak-a-boo highlights in pink. Both Kelcie and I went home with two packs of cherry Kool-Aid. Now you’re probably thinking where did I get the idea from and actually I have dyed my hair with Kool-Aid before. When I was about ten and it was for Halloween, the only thing is I wish I knew that when you have blonde hair and you try to turn it blue it actually goes green. But anyways, As soon as I got home I searched "How to Dye your hair with Kool-Aid" on YouTube and a bunch of hilarious videos of 12 year girls dying their hair with Kool-Aide came up and you know what They really do a great job and there methods work.

The end picture with the pink ends is of my sister.  

How to Dye your hair with Kool-Aide

(p.s dying your hair this way only works if you have fair hair)

Step One: You will need: Two pack of  sugar free Kool-Aid in which every colour you want,  A paint Brush, Conditioner, I teaspoon of water, a small bowl, rubber gloves, tin foil, Hair brush.

Step Two: Empty out two packages of Kool-Aid in the bowl add your water and two tablespoons of conditioner and mix very well.

Step Three: Brush hair free from knots. Choose the hair you would like to have coloured.

Step Four: With gloves on take small sections of hair that you want coloured and put over tinfoil, apply colour with paint brush. Then when painted fold tin foil and move on to the next strand.

Step Five: Timing now I only left mine on for two hours and it turned out to be a very pretty peachy- pinky but you can keep it in also long as you like. I know people keep it in overnight.

Step Six: When you have decided you can keep it in any longer rinse with cold water. No shampoo. Then blow dry. Dont shampoo hair for 24 hours.


This Is really something fun to do for Spring and Summer.

P.S went to work today and didn't even get in trouble. HELL YEAH!

My Space!

It’s a well-known fact that I’m very passionate when it comes to fashion and styling but I'm also very in to interior design. Last summer I decided to re-do my bedroom and I wanted to share with you the outcome. When it comes to an overall feel for a room I like rich colours and more masculine lines rather than fresh and light. When it came to choosing paint I wanted something bold and  decided on a rich chocolate brown and teal blue. I used the teal for my accent wall because the wall opposite to that was mostly mirror so it gives a great optical illusion of two walls being blue. When I final got around to decorating I tried to keep to my colour scheme of brown, teal blue, black and white.  As you can see I'm a sucker for pillow and could spend an infinite amount of money on them. My favorite pieces in my bedroom would have to by the vintage orange chair I got at a thrift store, The pictures of Barbra Streisand and Audrey Hepburn on my dresser and the best accessories are my two lovely cats Sophie and Louie sitting on my bed.

So I wanted to tell you about my 22^nd birthday party. I know, I know a little late with the details but better late than never right? Anyways I started the day with my little sister, painting each other’s nails and making final preparations for the big night.  Around 6pm it was time to check in to Hotel Vancouver and yes I do live in 20-25 mins away from downtown but it was my 22^nd birthday, might as well make it big. After arriving downtown the girls and I settled into our room with a bottle of campaign and started to get ready. We began our night at Global’s Society, a very trendy restaurant with hot pink chandeliers and cotton candy on very table. Now I have to say with the sheer volume of my table 15+ people I would not choose Society again. The table was cramped and the music way too loud (you couldn't even hear the person beside you) but the drink were amazing and the food was reasonably priced. Then we headed over to my favorite spot The Blarney Stone a fantastic Irish pub with skittles shooters and a down –to –earth feel. Then in true tradition ended the night at the Denys  on Davie for breakfast at 5am.  Anyways an awesome 22^nd birthday and I think I have finally come to terms with being 22 I don’t feel sick every time someone  says it anymore WOOT WOOT!

Just a couple of Bday Pics

Dead in the Family can be found at any Chapter or Indigo.
