Bruises!

For some weird reason I find bruises fascinating! I hadn’t had one for a long time, but I got a nice looking bruise this past weekend. For a YSA activity we went up to my uncle and aunt’s beautiful house out in the country. They have a nice piece of land in which there is a large sloping field surrounded by the bush (forest). We set up a 30 meter long waterslide and smothered it with dish soap. It was almost impossible to not get some good speed as you go down. Well, I got this really nice bruise on my knee the second time I went down. I don’t even know how I got it; I just remember getting up at the end of the slide to find it difficult to walk back up the slope and found this lovely bruise growing on my knee, haha. It was really fun.

Day 1

Day 2, colorful!

Highlights in my hair!

I know this sounds crazy and so conservative, but I've never had a professional put color in my hair before. My sister Kate has a close friend who is a really good hair dresser. I needed a hair-cut and she needed to try out some new colors, so we did both. She put some ammonia free ashy-blond highlights in my hair and then gave me a great hair cut, and I love both.
