It's Autumn!

In The Berkshires; 

leaves are quickly changing &pumpkin patches are ready for picking 

as the scents of apple, pumpkin, and crisp leaves float through the air!♥

Reflecting nature..my 2010 fall/winter wardrobe consists of

beautiful shades of orange, red, yellow, brown & gray!

I have a few projects/adventures planned for/inspired by October! including:

out-of-town adventures, holiday decorating & baking delicious treats;

all of which will be documented here [:

Ahh, autumn. the most wonderful&inspiring time of the year! ♥

Ch-ch-ch-chaaanges!! :D

Since my last health update on July 14th everything finally sorted out :}

Butttt..I had the worst episode yet Monday, July 26th;

I was tough, stuck it out,& instead of going to the ER..

when I could Tuesday morning, I called my doctor & 

that very day, I finally received the Lupron shot!

Since I'm so tiny and have no fat, the only place she could do it was my bum!

I have neverrr had to get a shot there before,  I was such a baby! hah :x

 [Band-aid is practically as big as my butt cheek!!hahah]

Now, this shot wasn't at all an easy decision.

In fact, I put off the idea of getting it for a year and half, since it's so serious,

and tried literally ALL other roads I could before having to say yes.

It basically stops all hormones, putting your body into a temporary menopause..

hot flashes and everything.

But I LITERALLY had ALLL side effects before taking it anyways,

(and haven't noticed a difference/bad side effect since..)

plus the Pros FAR outweighed CONS..so..no turning back now!

It's been almost three weeks, and changes are small but noticeable. ^.^

I find my whole abdomen to be in less pain..it's now in one concentrated area.

It's also easier to eat..I don't have to take as many meds to be comfortable..

& I'm noticing less memory loss/better comprehension!!

They say full results in 4-6 weeks;

I'm looking forward to see what's to come..

I have a goood feeling this is the first step to my full recovery!!!

Lunch with mom&gram

At Panera Bread

(my favorite eating spot where I live<3)

We actually went the very same day I dyed my hairs with Alicia;

I just haven't gotten around to uploading the photos until now. :x

First, what I usually order from the menu!! 

Soft flavorful bread(I forget what kind), yummy smoked turkey, gouda cheese, bacon, 

lettuce and delicious spicy mustard sauce. :D <333

&an iced lemonade to make the meal even moreeee heavenly.

(in the background is mom's toasted roastbeef bluecheese thing. I'm not into it.)

& last, Grannie's choice:

A fruit&chicken salad, with some sort of strawberry dressing on top.

:-O

It was a pretttyyyy large bowl;

and she ate the ENTIREEEE thing..so it MUST have been yummy!

Hair dye: Lusty Lavender & Candy Pink!!

My hair has been one color: platinum blonde,

for what seems like forever now,

& I've been itching for a bit of color to spruce it up!

About 3 months ago I found this Lusty Lavender by Splat (@ CVS),

then this week I bought the Candy Pink by Raw (@ Hot Topic)

I of course couldn't handle this task myself so the wonderful ALICIA did it for me!<33

The lavender wasn't so much a lavender as a DEEP GRAPE;

but what can you really expect from a box that has the hair color photo-shopped in?! :p

We didn't have any actual tools or brushes to apply the dye;

we improvised.. she used her hands and a tiny paint brush. *giggle*

It was a bit messy...

purple and pink everywhere!!

Thankfully it comes out quite easily (with Dawn!)

AAAAND THE LOVELY END RESULTS!! 

I'm totally smitten with it. It's so much more beautiful in person!

The way it fades is GORGEOUS, I don't know how she did it!

The three colors are a magical blend,

& these results are inspiring me to shoot and design more!

I just feel more like ME with this hair. ^.^
