Me? I'm in the middle of a cleaning marathon that ends with Christmas all over the house and cookies in the oven. Also, I did get an iPhone so I'm somewhere in the learning curve trying to figure out how and when I turned the volume off - sorry about all those missed calls...
Today I am celebrating something big in my life. It has been one year, one week, and a day since I colored my hair.

| Some day soon I will update my profile picture. |
Life is good. Really and truly one of the best things I've done for myself this past year is not put color on my hair. It was almost a two year process. The first year I changed over to temporary (28 day) color and every few months I bought a lighter shade.
Then I just quit coloring my hair and - although I can't figure out what I've done with the extra time and money - I can tell you I feel better. I know, I know, the commercials will tell you that my life is flat and boring and my hair is wimpy. But I will tell you I'm smart enough to not be bored and a good hair cut (thank you, Jessica!) can keep just about any body's hair from being wimpy.
Unfortunately, this change has not made me smarter - I had to take several pictures before I figured out I needed to "look up" when I pushed the little button.

I was so glad when I stopped coloring. I had reached as far as I would in my job and was the oldest so I just stopped. Love your hair natural.

Joy, your hair is beautiful! It fits you to a tee! I love the cut, too, but the color is amazing. So great you have joined us Natural Wonders!! I stopped coloring my hair at least 5 years ago, maybe longer, not sure. Anyway, you look fantastic, and I love your photos! Thanks so much for sharing!!!! Robin
It looks great! And I liked reading your process of going lighter and lighter, until you just quit. I've often wondered about a "break line" showing! I would probably quit dying my hair but I don't think my husband is on board just yet. As he gets older and more blind, I think I'll be able to do it without him even noticing! hahahahaha (that's a evil laugh!)
I wish I was brave like you! I've had my hair colored/cut every 5 weeks for so long - but I know from the roots I must be totally grey now. I often think of going natural but my hair stylist says "no way".............wonder why?????
It's expensive to keep up but I do like my hair to look good, and because it's getting thinner now adding color helps with texture/body.
Some day perhaps I'll do what you have done - it's looking fabulous like that - you are lovely.

I dunno if I will ever stop coloring my hair. I think I want to go to my grave in red hair. =P
You make me laugh out loud with your new phone and taking pictures. I LUV-LUV my iPhone. I might take that to my grave too...or they will have to pry it from my stiff fingers.!!
=P
hugZ,
