I'm using homemade hacks to lift the colour from my hair. Last time I removed dye from my hair I went straight from fire engine to blond, with a shop naught hair colour lifter.

Now I'm taking Henna out of my hair and have been recommended the vitamin C + dandruff shampoo method by a friend who swears by it.

You mix them together (the first time I did this I used fizzygoods so it went hilariously XD )

You spread it on damp hair, getting it all nice and well covered and leave it on 30-60 minutes. I go for the sort of fifty minute mark.

They say it can take several attempts and I don't feel like it's really made any difference.

The before and after pictures from the first time. Sorry I took the second in the sunlight to try to give it a little boost. I'll take a shot of my hair tomorrow to see if it improves, but right now I'm just chilling in the sunshine with my hair SATURATED in lemon juice to try and get some change. XD

I'm wearing a coat because I'm absolutely dripping. XD

I haven't offered any original content here for a while.

I bit time think this boy is hot, he's also kind and stuff. I learneded a thing called fingerloop braiding, which look complicated but it super simple. Also, lockdown craziness means I let my friend cut my hair. XD

I'm on my seventh beer. It's ten in the morning. Uh oh.

First time I've tried to draw horses in probably about five years. First picture is me trying to remember off the top of my head how to draw a horse. Second one is using several horse drawing guides. I wish I'd looked at them all before starting. I started like "I'll use this one to start it then I'll check out the others to improve it" and that's how you end up with a total horror show. Even with guides, it takes a lot of practice to get it down. Third picture is with stock from the interwebs. I chose a black shiny horse because it makes good practice for shading and amplifies the contours of a horse while still requiring you to go for it on the shadows which introduces some risk. I always draw with byros because I'm overly critical with myself and it can slow me down big time! This forces me to commit to lines. I find drawing with pencils very frustrating because I turn into a perfectionist and yuck!

Anyway, just did this to show how easy it is to improve in as few as three pictures (I drew nothing in between these) and also how using stock in conjunction with guides is so helpful.

Also, if you find yourself stuck behind perfectionism, maybe do some exercises with ink/byros. My art teacher used to tell us to draw five pictures of the same thing in five minutes. Many of us were perfectionists and would complete one picture, and start the next. The diligafs would complete five. There was very little difference between their work in the end. I was one of the bad diligafs, so I didn't compare nor care. XD but what I'm saying was that the confidence is why I can draw a fairly decent picture that'll take me half an hour, and a really good one if I spend more time on it. I don't let it bother me.

On the other hand I'm gonna find it hard to transfer to digital media, so all the patient perfectionists have that on me. I can't commit to learning hard things. XD

The student finance website is down. The deadline is in three days. My only possible reaction is to get pissed (UK word for drunk) on Laphroaig and listen to 80s/90s/? Rock music in the form of The Alarm and sing loudly to everyone in the street because all my windows are open. The moment I stop I'm gonna cry with frustration.

I had to dig around in my selfies because I'm in work right now.

Me: it's got 10 grams of protein

Health app: I suppose that'll do...

Me: it'll have to, 'cause I just finished.
