As I may have mentioned a couple of thousand times, I am turning 40 soon! In just a little over a month. One month and 14 days, but who's counting. As part of my attempts at accepting 40—not an easy task—I decided that I was going to let my natural hair color grow out. I … Continue reading To dye for
