I'm anxious.
Okay.
Well.
Here's why:
I have a hair appointment on Thursday with my old colorist...the same girl that did Mike's hair for many, many years. Years before she ever did my hair. Basically, I ruined my hair with a box colour once, prompting it to turn goldfish orange, and she saved my life... er... hair. And ever since then, we've been living in perfect-hair-colour harmony. Until Mike and I split. And then I figured, 'I can't go back there...it's his hair stylist...what will I say?!' (she came to our wedding!). Even after Mike told me he doesn't go to her anymore, and I went somewhere else that was ridiculously over-priced and the girl turned my hair grey, I still didn't want to go.
However, I bit the bullet.
I called and made an appointment last week.
My appointment is this Thursday.
I'm very anxious.
The reason I'm going back to her though, is because she's amazing. AH. MAY. ZING. She gives me the perfect colour blonde, the price is great and I know what to expect (and she knows what I like).
I haven't coloured my hair since September and my roots are killing me. With a potential seaside vaycay in my near future, I'm determined not to go down south with these roots because while I love the ombré look, I feel like I've missed that bandwagon and I hate jumping on after it's been a trend for over a year (with my luck, I'd likely 'jump on' only for it to be really dated in a month from now). Plus, I simply love love love being blonde.
Would a situation like this make you feel anxious? Am I crazy? Any tips?

Turns out I ate a lot this weekend... since my photos don't really give a full weekend recap, I will share that on Friday I went out with some special friends, Saturday I lazed around and then ran errands before having a take-out+movie night in, and Sunday was productive with a big breakfast, errands and a family dinner. You?
1. (Casual) Friday's outfit for work.
2. Friday night dinner: grilled veggies (onion & zuchinni) and chicken on a soft bun with home made sweet potato fries (not shown).
3. Saturday morning breakfast: banana Nutella crepes (again).
4. I cut up my first pineapple, ever which also was my 'green' item for my #febphotoaday.
5. & 6. Sushi lunch with coworkers on Friday.
7. Saturday night Indian take-out.
8. Spicy wings at Friday's get together (+ Dance Central for xBox Kinect, not shown).
9. & 10. Sunday morning breakfast: chicken bacon (a first, and not bad), over-easy eggs, rosemary sweet potato home fries & fruit.
11. My Grammy gave me three of her china tea cups (I got to choose my favourite three, aren't these beautiful? And so sentimental, the best part).
12. My favourite pup.
I thought it would be kind of fun to share some of the things I didn't purchase. As most of you know, I love to shop (among other things thankyouverymuch) but shopping involves a lot of trial and error and I certainly don't come home with purchases every time. Most of the items below I liked, but didn't love so that means they stay at the store.
This was a quick trip to Winners (similar to TJ Maxx or Ross) on my lunch break one day:
Uknown sweater, $25 | Calvin Klein top, $30
1. This sweater was a pale pink and I hated it immediately.
2. I liked this cK top, it was flattering and felt nice but the colour (taupe and white) aren't my favourite so I passed on it (but looking at it again now, I kind of wish I had purchased it).

Alexander Bartlett, $20 | Unknown top, $35
3. I have been seeing a ton of these types of tops for Spring, you know, with cut-out shoulders and at the time of trying on this top, it wasn't evident this was going to be a huge trend and I just felt so-so on the top. Now, I'm on the hunt to find one (although this isn't the one, despite going back and trying it on again and in green).
4. I love love love this top. It pains me that it didn't come home with me. It was super long in the back, double layered chiffon and oh-so-pretty. I thought it was nice but was unsure and pressed for time and I passed. Mistake! I have since been to four other Winners looking for it and nothing. So sad.

Cynthia Rowley, $25 | Unknown, $20 | Alexander Bartlett, $25 | BCBG, $60
5. The CR skirt was cute, chiffon, and very well draped... except in the back which was pretty unflattering.
6. This orangey-red skirt was just awful once I put it on.
7. I loved this and was convinced it was coming home with me, even after putting it on... until I turned around. Yikes. It was not flattering and the white side panels highlighted every bulge.
8. I really wanted to love this black and nude BCBG number but it was of body-con fabric/material and not flattering in the least (baby bump? No, simply chub).

Max Studio (by Max Mara), $50 each
9. & 10. I loved these dresses and loved even more the fact that they were long on me (so rare to find a maxi long enough for someone who is 5'11). I preferred the green but simply wasn't sold. Another case of like, but unsure, so I left it (if you don't love it, leave it).
What I wore shopping: H&M jacket, F21 top, H&M pants, Bamboo boots, Dollarama ring & Suzy necklace
I never had nor heard of onion bahjis until someone introduced us in the fall.
They are a traditional Indian....meatball? If I can get a lil' Italian on you.
They are made up of onion, cilantro, curry and other delicious stuff and were quite simple to make. As fate would have it, we got to use a deep fryer (versus using a pan with oil) to cook them which is how they are authentically done and they were to. die. for. Seriously delish.
Pssst, I used whole wheat flour.
