RE: Dye doubt it

Negotiating boyfriends' opinion is tough. On the one hand you are a strong independent woman who does what she wants. On the other your boyfriend has to look at you all the time and find you attractive. And although how attractive you are is largely dependent on things other than your hair colour you want them to like what you see. Of course you do. 

I'm constantly negotiating this difficult situation. Here are a bunch of things LB doesn't like very much on me: when I dye my eyebrows (i think this is largely confined to the first day but he can't dissociate the beautiful after effect from day 1); when I get a fringe; short hair; any change to my appearance. 

Sometimes when I think about going blonde I ask him what he thinks and he says something unsupportive and I ask him if he doesn't imagine himself with a blonde beach babe by even this doesn't work. 

I just scrolled through a bunch of photos on the internet of 'dark brown hair with caramel highlights'. Mostly they were pretty gross. Mainly because hairstyles for photos are dried in that gross faux wave which I don't care for at all. All my interneting really did for me was reinforce how pretty Emma Watson is.

 Did you see this?

Sweet, Mate

So Mate, I thought I'd respond to the above text here, rather than there as I guess I have more to say than thumbs up emoji, though I do want to say that too.  How exciting that you bought Sweet and how exciting that soon you will have it and soon you will bake from it! I wonder what the first cab off the rank will be.  I am fully intending to buy it, but I bought this other book recently and have been cooking lots of things from it.  Do you know this woman, Mate? She is part of that Melbourne food/design scene I guess. She's friends with Gemma. She lives in Brunswick and I follow her on instagram so I feel like I know her in the way one does in these weird times we live in. So when it came to handing over cash for Ottolenghi or Julia, I felt like I should buy Julia first.  I've made a couple of savory and a couple of sweet numbers from her book and so far they've all been simple and pretty darn delicious. I've been trying to put my finger on what's good about

Dye doubt it

I thought it would be fun to just update this blog on the DL and then we can each be pleasantly surprised when we log on and find something. So darker brown with caramel highlights sounds fantastic. Anything caramel sounds pretty fantastic. Side note: how good does that recipe for middle eastern millionaire’s shortbread in Sweet sound? So good, that’s how good.  Back to hair. This do by Lucky Buster appeals to me. It’s kind of where I want to go. But then I showed Holloway and said “what do you think of this?”.  He said “I’m not sure you...” before getting cut off by the H bomb going off.  I don’t know whether he was going to say “I’m not sure you should show me these photos because I love them all and could never pick a favourite!!” Or  “I’m not sure you should go there” Or something in between.  The prospect of my boyfriend not liking my hair makes me not want to dye my hair. It’s not like I can’t think for myself or nothin. It’s just that I have no interest in doing something that h

It's time

So this blog has been live for a couple of weeks now and I guess it's time we talked about Ewan. The other night I was just scrolling through Instagram and a picture that Ewan posted was credited to his daughter Clara and I thought I'd just take a look at her Insta account. It's basically exactly the same as the account of every other daughter of a famous person that grew up in LA. Selfies of her in a bikini or in jeans and a t-shirt and occasional photos of her just chilling with her buds. I'm sure you've seen this kind of account before. The only noticeable difference is that Ewan McFuckingGregor (AKA her dad) comments on a lot of the pics. One of the first pictures I looked at was a picture of Clara and underneath Ewan had commented "My beautiful girl. x" I have to say, it was kind of confronting. Like, I know that Ewan is a real person with a wife and kids and everything but it was really weird to see him just respond to his adult daughter's In
