I don't know what it is about this woman but I can't just keep her to myself.

There is something about her. She is an artist but she has been using her social media to help get over a fear of being perceived. I watch her and think "WOW! I wish I could live as free and myself as she does" and to read that this is something she herself is trying hard to work through and just be herself.. I don't know I just am beyond inspired by her.

ALSO that's it - i'm never dying my hair again!

Share other accounts if you follow anyone that helps you feel good too!
 
Love that! She is adorable and her art is really cool!

I stopped dyeing my hair once Adriaan was here full time. He's like, just let it happen, the roots, the maintenance, you don't need to do any of that. Less is more for women. You're beautiful, etc etc.

He doesn't have an account, but he makes me feel good about myself :D
 
Awwww I love this!!!

I’m a “researcher” and as I head into perimenopause I’ve started a deep dive on symptoms and reasons for them and what all to expect as I start this next phase of my life and it looks like there’s a biological change that happens to women at this time in their lives when they literally stop giving a f@!$ and shed societal expectations. So glad that perimenopause/ menopause is having a moment but I sure wish we got a little dose of that earlier in life!
 
Thank you for the recommend! What an awesome thing to just be FREE!

I was going to wait until I turned 60 to stop highlighting and lowlighting my hair BUT, as my luck would have it, stress triggered an autoimmune response and I developed plaque psoriasis on my scalp (and it was moving down onto my forehead) as well as having eczema on my ears. My hair was starting to fall out. YUCK. I never felt so terrible about myself as that. I might be overweight, but I could always count on having good hair, you know? Anyway, I'm in the middle of treatment with a dermatologist and all signs of both of those autoimmune responses have been beat in submission.

Hmmmm? Why was I sharing this? LOL Just to say that once my scalp was cleared, I didn't want to introduce any chemicals onto the scalp, and made a decision to go gray. Here's a photo of me taken yesterday. I have a while for my highlights to go away. My gray is a silvery white. I need to find a new treatment or product that will help these wiry gray hairs that want to stick up every which way.

So after all that word vomit, I will share the channel that I really enjoy. Her name is Scarlet Cee (I mean, how can you go wrong with Scarlet?). She thrifts and then styles and organizes her thrift finds. I'm obsessed. It just speaks to me. Hope y'all will enjoy. You can find her on IG, FB, TikTok, and YouTube.

Yay for being proud of having grays! Kudos to you all!
I stopped dyeing my hair when I conceived Michael, that was before 30. I just couldn't be bothered to sit in the salon that long to get it done and I am too lazy to do it myself... And I am glad I stopped, because my hair becomes so much healthier and it makes me happier :)
 
I am in a HUGE battle with my hair for months now. I have an appt today with my hairdresser (is that how we call? the person who cuts and do all things in your hair? well... she does my hair since 2004!) and, to be honest, I am still unsure about what to do.

and me loves some free woman & soul who is still searching for all her potential and talking about it - if that makes sense. ♥
 
She is awesome!!

I have never died my hair...yeah once or twice in my teen years, but never as an adult (I think, can't remember...oops)! And I really don't care if people see my grey hair, but when I saw a FB post of a woman with 3 colors in her hair I was like...I WANT THAT! :wub: (I'm 46 by the way) And my boyfriend challenged me...I was too chicken bla bla bla *Talk to the hand dude!!!* A few days later I died my hair in 3 colors...AND it's not a permanent color, depends on how much you wash it I guess. Today I have 4 colors hahahaha Reddish/pinkish (because of the washing) blueish/purple, my own hair color brown and....GREY and I'm loving it and really...don't care what people think to be honest. This is me and my hair and if you don't like it......... :p
 
Thank you so much for sharing! I LOVE it! :wub:
I've only dyed my hair twice in my life, and so ridiculous that I did it when I have no gray hair and was in my 20s :D weird thing I don't remember how I got out of the problem, I probably let it grow long enough to cut it.
 
I've been dyeing my hair purple since I was 13 but have been going gray since at least 9. I kind of wish I inherited the "completely white hair by 30" of one of my great-aunts because it would be easier. I'm in a vibrant purple phase at the moment (need the pick-me-up and also less maintenance) but I also like to do a taro milk tea shade that blends into my gray sometimes. My head shot for if I become a SugarBabe is the lavender-silver color.

I don't really follow anyone because I stepped back a lot from social media almost 2 years ago. It's been really good for me to keep all the outside voices out and focus on my own voice. It's also been really great not to compare Rowan's journey to that of his peers. (It's so heartbreaking sometimes to have to see the life your kid won't ever have.) That being said, I'm still quietly helping a few friends navigate the medically complex kiddos world and am waiting for my chance to speak to a bunch of doctors about prenatal genetic testing to help give families like mine the tools to help their children before they're even born.

Big hugs to you! I left facebook a few years ago (other than having my scrapbook design page) because I was having a hard time with so much of it. <3 It is an amazing thing you are doing to be an advocate and help others

I wish there was an app like facebook or something that was purely arts and crafts LOL!!

I spend an inappropriate amount of time watching art tutorials on Pinterest while Photoshop is taking its sweet time doing noise reduction. (5 minutes for something that's only ISO 1600; the astrophotography ones take upwards of 10 minutes each.) It always makes me giggle when I see my scrapbook layouts pop up there. I also now want to try blending crayons with Chapstick thanks to the rabbit hole I went down yesterday. (Photos will be shared tomorrow in a page I made for Cheryl. She gets me to scrap all my favorite photos.)

And thank you. I needed to hear that today after crying through a nightmare IEP meeting. I homeschool and still need to tell the district how to do their jobs (which is *why* I homeschool). I know how hard it is to be in my shoes and have no point of reference so I try to make sure that I can be someone else's. It's hard though and it sucks, a lot. Weirdly, Erica's scrapbook kits helped point me towards two diagnoses before the medical professionals did.
 
If you are into textile arts, especially vintage fashions, you can find some lovely inspiration here: https://www.instagram.com/thimbleluna/

i personally know Helena. I worked with her several years back when she was a high school band mom too ;) She is a (now) retired high school art teacher (from the school my girls went to, of course) with a huge love for vintage fashions. She spends her days now that she is no longer teaching art sewing and doing whatever strikes her fancy, which can include hunting for wild mushrooms to add to her dinner, playing with her chickens, twirling in the garden, etc. She sells her labors at renaissance fairs that she attends. You never know what will pop up in her feed. She is silly and can laugh at herself and the crazy things she sometimes gets into - I still giggle when I remember a story she told me in the art room one afternoon when we were making the guard costumes for that year's band show. I just love her.
