Number 13: Dye Your Hair Blonde And See If They Really Do Have More Fun

As a small child, I had bright blonde ringlets. Today, I am more of what you would call a dirty blonde. My brother would say I'm a brunette. Either way, my hair has blonde tones to it but is NOT THAT LIGHT. So this is kind of a scary step for me. I like my hair. But I'm also not terrified to alter it. As I do when I dye my hair, I summoned Danielle with me to the "Hair Coloring" isle at CVS. (We almost took a detour at the candy corn section but we ended up making it to hair coloring.) We chose a Superior Preference color called "Golden Blonde." Here is me trying to look like the model on the box:



I think the lighting in our living room makes my hair look rather dark. Here's another photo of my coloring JUST so you can get an idea of what it really looks like:


And post-blondifying:


Here are the things I've done post-hair dying: spent a weekend in NYC, started rehearsals for a play, thrown a house party, gone on a date, had a fabulous halloween, made new friends, cuddled with old friends, visited my parents, trained for a 5K. Would I have done these things anyways? YES.

The verdict? Blondes don't have more fun. Being 20-something and living in Boston though? Super fun. Stay tuned for more adventures.
