Temporary red

Up until my late twenties, I used to color my hair a lot..Mostly this reddish-plum color. When I was 18 I did a brief stint as a blonde and oh my god did it look horrible! It wasn't even a blonde, now that I think of that..More like a reddish blonde, since my hair is not and was not ever meant to be a true blonde!

Anyway, I haven't colored my hair for years now, and I really like my natural color. But during the winter it looks a little boring because I don't have those light sunstreaks that I always get (from all those lovely patio shifts at work!) So I decided to try something temporary..Loreal Color Pulse Mousse. I was a little nervous since it was on clearance at Rite Aid..But I bought 3 anyway! (They were only $2.50 each and they only had 3 left!)

Let me just say that no matter what I do, I always make a huge mess when I dye my own hair. I put on the gloves, I put a towel around my neck..yet somehow I get the dye all over the sink, my wrists, my ears and neck. And when I rinse it out, it's all over the shower walls and curtain. This crap was red too! Also, no matter what I do, I always manage to put it on unevenly, or at least that's the way it looks afterwards. Because this stuff is a mousse, you'd think it'd be hard to do it wrong. Yeah, you'd think.

Well, it turned out okay. It's kind of bright red in some spots, but part of me likes the shock of the brightness. Plus it looks good with my skintone. Maybe I'll go permanent soon..Maybe.

Awesome!!!! You can get away with having it look really red which is easier than some people. I can't wait to see it! And hey, at least you didn't cut your own hair (yeah..kind of regretting it now since it's starting to look horrible..lol)

Are you a tipped restaurant employee?

Do you realize that you may be entitled to thousands of dollars in unpaid wages to you? The restaurant industry frequently fails to properly calculate the amount of money which is owed to tipped employees. For instance, tipped waitstaff must be paid, under federal law, at least $7.72 an hour for hours worked over 40, even if the waitstaff employee is paid $2.13 an hour for the hours under 40. Some of the largest restaurant chains in the country regularly violate these principles. Tip pooling arrangements are also the source of many minimum wage complaints, and can be easily violated if the tips are shared with management. Deductions made from wages for items such as cash shortages, required uniforms, or customer walk-outs are illegal if the deduction reduces the employee's wages below the minimum wage or cuts into overtime pay
