Hello again


20 posts?! Really just 20... Scarlet for my Ma. At the time, I really thought that I had more dedication to the blog. Second time for everything I guess. Lets Fast forward 21 months, I've changed jobs and gotten older,  that's about the height of it.

My relationship with food and with myself has remained pretty consistent. Nutrition wise, I am still trying to walk the tight-rope between "healthy, healthy, healthy" and  "all of the delicious food". I have always used food to coped with stress and life, which isn't ideal when you're on the old side of 25. I'm over that, I have decided to have a more forgiving, more sustainable outlook. As far as exercise goes things have been pretty similar to my food situation, I am either completely on it or completely off it, which not really forgiving or maintainable. I am absolutely going to address this, I can easily make the time for a few quick workouts during the week.

My new job is going really well, I say new job, but I've been there for almost a year.The working world is still sometimes stressful, I think it always will be, but hey it keeps me on my toes. I usually work three weekdays and every second weekend. On weekdays I finish up at 8 pm after a long 11 hours, this was leading to me being ravenous and scoffing dinner at 9 pm. This obviously ins't ideal. So I am toying with changing up my mealtimes.

Round two has officially kicked off, I hope to blog about health and lifestyle with some beauty and fashion thrown in for good measure.

This basically sums up my life...

I got my hair did, and new gym.

I got my hair did! Wohoo, I love the whole process of getting my hair done but I also feel so guilty while it's getting done. 

I went to my local Peter Mark and the staff were fabtastic, like really,really good. I had a consultation with my colourist and the colour specialist in the salon. I brought this picture for inspiration: 

 
They decided on three shades a warm almost copper brown, a golden brown and a bright blonde.

The colourist took a good 2-2.5 hours putting the highlights in. I've soooo much hair I just feel like I'm wasting everyone's time, the whole team reassured me noone minded that I was there a good 5 hours. 

After the highlights were in the hair stylist chatted to me about the cut I wanted, allowed the dye to work through, and then, I got the best head massage of all time. Sweet lord it was good! Lastly, the cut and curly blowdry, the blowdry cost no extra despite taking a lot longer than a regular blowdry. I am so pleased with the result, the brightest colour is a little too bright at the minute, so  I'm waiting untill I wash and style it myself before I photograph it! 

The whole experience felt like a real treat. 

My other recent over indulgence is membership and a quite expensive gym, but I LOVE it. They have a ladies only section it's never jam packed and a fab range of classes. As of now it's work the money although if I lose any interest at all it will be a big waste. That's a reason in itself to stay motivated. :D
