DIY • Toning Blonde hair from brassy to platinum at home



Here is a little DIY Tutorial on toning blonde hair at home. Almost every time I bleach my roots, I get a very brassy / yellow / orange toned result. These products help me tone to a platinum shade and get rid of all of that brassiness. I hope to re-shoot this video with more detail and better quality view soon. Hope it can help someone out there!

Begin

The best way to get things done is to simply begin.

So, let's begin.


Hi!

I want to share about my perspective on the world of beauty, I hope this can be a good place for that. All through my life, I have loved makeup and the possibility of creating something beautiful. I could spend an entire movie fixated on the shades of lipstick or haircolor, that I would walk away from it remembering those things and forget the storyline.


 I am constanty looking up great products and of course, the newest thing in beauty. There are so many people out there, sharing their talents and feedback on products and I just really want to be a part of the conversation.

What am I hoping for?

I want to share products I love.

I want to learn more makeup techniques / styles and share them on YouTube. I have loved the beauty community for so long, I am hoping to step out of my comfort zone and speak my mind too.

What else?

I have been through a great fitness journey and want to share this along the way too.

Other than that, I hope to have some laughs. Meet great people and share with others that have similar passions to mine.

I hope you'll join me!

Thank you for reading,
Gina

Welcome to PrettySpiffy Blog!

beauty ~ budgeting ~ fitness ~ rock what you've got

Being a true beauty addict, I have spent my fair share over the years on products that I truly love! It's time for me to slow down on the spending/the chase/window shopping! The goal will be to rock what I've got and use these amazing items to create beautiful looks and share them. I have watched the beauty community on YouTube for so long and have hesitated to join the conversation. It's time for me to jump in and have some fun, let go a little bit! I have a low-buy plan that I think will be really fun too!

I plan to use this blog to share my voice in the world of beauty, fitness and budgeting. My little family and I are going all out to be debt free and I'm set on making it fun!

We have started the process of the Dave Ramsey program and are hopefull that we can reach our goals to be debt free, and not feel that we have to sacrifice all the fun!

I hope you might join me in my own little journey along the way.
