- a stage in a process of change or development: Each phase of life brings its own joys.
We all go through phases, some more often then others. I find myself going through alot sometimes they last for a few hours and sometimes they last for years. Sometimes I think it's sad how quickly I move from thing to thing but then I think about who I would be if I didn't. If I wasn't constantly changing and finding new things to love what would my life be like? I don't like the thought of it at all we all have to change and grow otherwise our society would collapse.
Now if you don't mind terribly I'm going to go on a rant about some things in my life that I thought were going to be phases and ended up shaping who I am today. From 2008 to summer of 2010 aka high school were without a doubt the most life changing years of my life. Sophomore year was so awkward and so confusing but isn't it always? I did find Sweeney Todd that year and I went out and did something I'd always wanted to which was dye my hair with a bright blond streak styled after Stacy London and Sweeney Todd.
I loved that hair so much I thought I was so cool and edgy haha. I think hair is the easiest thing to talk about with me as far as phases go I'm still going through a hair phase and I hope I never have to give up on it. Before I get into some more deep thoughts let me go on about my fab hair for a second. I don't know why but I've always wanted to do this, just go through and look at the different phases my poor hair has gone through over the years. As I already stated the streak was the start of it all, different but not to wild.
(fun fact this is the first picture of me Eric ever saw ;)
After that I went back and forth between black and brown but nothing to exciting.
Then came senior winter formal and I decided a change was in order so I rocked black bangs and a short brown Aline in the back and I loved it!
But sadly as hair always does it faded and went back to it's normal chestnut brown and just in time for graduation too.
At that point I had to start acting like an adult and so I kept it normal...well as normal as I can keep my hair.
At that point my hair decided to be awesome and go through a huge growth spurt which I will never complain about!
And now this is where it gets interesting. I've always loved YouTube like abnormally so but it was about this point that I really started to get obsessed. I love makeup tutorials and watch them constantly to inspire myself to try new things with my face and other peoples and to learn new techniques so my friends think I'm cool and original ;) but one night I happened upon this girls channel. Her name is Leda and let me tell you I adore her!
I only wish I knew about her when I was in high school because I guarantee I would have been different or at least my hair would have. I still feel weird talking about her because she's just a 17 year old girl that I kind of know everything about which is creep I know but let me explain. She introduced me to the world of scene I had always known about emo kids but scene was a whole new world to me full of huge colored hair and kandi and thick eyeliner and dubstep and raves and oh man was I in love. After watching Leda's videos and learning how to make kandi I was inspired and decided it was time to stop wishing I could dye my hair fun colors and just do it!
So I did!
Welcome to the days of the purple hair. Oh I loved this hair so much. Except the fact
that it bled allover the place and stained my cloths and bathtub but no big deal it all worked out in the end. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and my hair began to fade.
Which left me with this interesting purple pink and brown thing goin on. Well anyway Eric was coming to see me and he was upset that he didn't get to see me with purple hair so me and and my amazing stylist Anita decided to redo the purple. Unfortunately it didn't go as planned.
And I ended up with red. Which actually is fine because for years I had tried to get red hair and then after I stopped trying I got it! And I kept it that way for quite some time all the way through until the night of Morgans wedding reception and then enough was enough!
So bam welcome teal! This was fabulous it was the first time I dyed my hair by myself and it succeeded. Minus the huge parts in the back where there wasn't any dye at all because I could not see what I was doing. But again it faded and it wasn't the prettiest sight in the world as a matter of fact it was nasty but I figured I already had blue tones in my hair so I might as well.
Tada! Blue, again not even coverage but what can I say I'm cheap and don't enjoy spending a ton of money I don't have for a job that I usually can do better myself anyway. But this time I did something right because there is still blue in my hair. This is like the color that won't go out! Granted I love it and I miss it all the time it's a color I think I'll go back to quite often. But when it faded I ended up just looking like I had grey hair, which isn't a bad thing because I've always wanted white hair.
It still wasn't the most attractive thing in the world though. Luckily at this point I began to enter a new phase of trends that I love. This time they were called hipsters! But don't you worry I still wouldn't give up on my scene it was just a simple way of marrying the two in a very Emily fashion. So before we left for Disney I worked up a new plan...
And this was not part of it! But it happened anyway and I'm so glad it did. For the first time my thoughts and speech actually matched the color of my hair! In all seriousness I loved being a blond it's another color I plan on going back to for a while.
But like I said the blue was persistent and wouldn't go away, however I liked it so I kept it for a while. Then just before we left I tried again.
Again not 100% what I wanted for a few days I actually hated my hair...like with a passion. But I grew to love it and then I grew to get incredibly attached to it and now I miss it.
However when this faded it decided to turn green...which was not awesome but actually super gross. This was due to the fact that I was on vacation and therefore not thinking so I went swimming..alot..which I shouldn't have done. But what's done is done and this brings me to the end of my overly lengthy tale.
Welcome once again purple and brown hair. I think it's what I need right now it's not perfect and I want to change it but I need to be an adult and try to get a job which means another normal dye is in order but for now I'll keep my lower layers of purple. Someday if my dreams come true and I get a job where I can dye my hair more I'm thinking that this is looking really tempting.
Honestly at this point who knows! If I have the money it might be rainbow. We'll see what the future holds for my poor damaged hair when it happens.
I'm sorry I just went on for a thousand years about my hair I really didn't mean to but whats done is done and I really need sleep so later I will give you a part 2 with more serious topics. Until then try and have the best time of your life and enjoy your hair no matter what color it is!
Good night loves!
