new year, new you?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry it's a bit late, I've only just returned from my hols. I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas & New Years! Mine was spent laying on a beach in Thailand (heaven!) For any one thinking about going travelling- do it. I know I was only away for 2 weeks, but seriously I've been bitten by the travel bug (I was told never to say that phrase again- oops). 

ALSO! Happy belated birthday to my pal, Ray! It was her birthday on the 4th, I hope you all sent her a lovely message? If not, write two next year? 

So, what are your *dreaded* New Years resolutions? Mine include: 
Being smilier [they're infectious don't you know! :)] 
Eating my 5-a-day [I'm being realistic with food goals]
Finally completing the 30 day shred [I've never quite made it to the 20th day]
Being A LOT more organised [I'm a bit of a hoarder, so it's hard to find things in a hurry, such as clothes, important documents, keys etc]
Travel more [Vegas, LA, and Melbourne are hopes]
Post on this blog more! [I totally neglected the blog the last 6 months of the year, due to getting a new job, moving house and travelling a hell of a lot, but I'm back and I'm raring to go ;)] 

Before I left for my vacay, I got my hair did. This is what it looked like that very day (it's completely different now, the top colour has faded so it doesn't look like such a huge contrast- still contrasting but not so hideously).... I just thought "what the hell, why not do something crazy?" I immediately regretted it as my hair stylist seemed incapable of actually doing it once she started but hey, you live and learn, and I've learned to start looking for a new hairdresser. 


Anywho, I know you've got opinions, so constructive criticism is very welcome. I know the dip-dye is at the total wrong place. So there's no point writing that if you were going to. 

Happy friday girls. Enjoy your weekend. XOXO AVS

P.S I want a new web layout. If any one can help/recommend anyone, that would be grrrreat :)

Hey Avs

Welcome back and a happy happy New Year :), missed you loads!

In regards to your hair, if you still want to maintain the ombre look maybe try a dark chocolate and gold option? Or you can just play with rinses to give you different looks and they wash off after a while so you aren't committing too much to it :)

You could also use the rinse to 'extend' the darker section of your hair, if that makes sense

Here's some links i can recommend for a new layout. Unfortunately the lady who helped with my previous design and current header image has stopped taking orders

Missed ya blog! :) I hope Thailand was fun. :)

I guess your hair would have probably looked better if it was a little lower, and now I'm so tempted to do the same and then dye the tips purple! Haha :P
