I am all about doing it yourself. I watch shows on TLC and HGTV like they are going out of style. And, I seriously can't wait to purchase a house so that I can start putting to use all those years of DIY techniques I have learned. In the meantime (as Jeff and I won't be purchasing a house anytime soon), I have taken the liberty to figure out other things I can DIY.Between my recent craftiness and my recent urge to spend less and save more, I decided I was going to color my own hair. The first time I ever attempted to DIY with my hair was when I was in 7th grade and I stole my brothers bottle (ha, yes my brothers) of sun-in. He was blonde and a few shots of that spray did wonders for him. Well, in my brunette hair it ended up looking orange. Yuck. It was so bad that when my brothers friend, who is a hair dresser, saw me she said, "JoLee, you should come in and see me, I can help you." She became my hairdresser from then on, and even when I lived in Salem and Portland I would still drive 2 hours for a visit with my hairdresser back home. 
My hair was special. I always had highlights and I only let her get anywhere close to it with scissors. That was until recently. Now that I live in Southern California, making it to Oregon to visit the hairdresser was becoming a little difficult. So, I decided that I could do it myself! Ta-da, I am a brunette! Luckily for everyone, I don't trust myself with scissors - wouldn't that be scary??? So, to get it cut I took the liberty to visit the Regis Salon in the mall - $25 for a haircut not bad. However, I hate the cut! Oh well, it will grow out right?

I have to say though, when I was getting my hair cut, three different hairdressers at the salon complimented my hairdresser on my color - "Jennifer, did you do that color, it's beautiful!" Ha!!! Guess they like it. Anyway, DIY hair, just another day in my Life As A Wife.

Who are you and what happened to my best friend??? :) Just kidding. I am in shock that you colored your own hair. It does look good! You are cracking me up. Don't tell Sari or my sister that you went to Regis!
