Style Favorites: Maternity Edition

I'm currently 7 weeks postpartum and cleared to start getting back to "normal" activity. It seems like enough time to have had a look at what I wore during my pregnancy and to know what I really liked and what didn't work for me.  I showed really late, I was probably around 25-26 weeks before I had a bump that took me out of my normal clothes and even then I was still fairly small. Because of that I didn't really invest in maternity clothing. By the time I got to the point where things didn't fit or I didn't like how they fit I was less than 10 weeks from my due date. That said, we had 3 weddings to attend this year and my baby shower. I also worked until I went into labor, which was luckily a Sunday, so I did have to dress myself until the end. Another disclaimer, I was able to have a relaxed wardrobe for work which also kept me from buying more maternity wear and using what I had in my closet.

Until a little less than a year ago I had never dyed my hair before. Actually I used this a temporary pink dye in like 8th grade and dyed a streak that you could only see in the light because my hair is really dark.

I bleached it and then ended up using a permanent brown to cover up the orange my hair had gone (I did no planning before hand so I didn't realize toner was a thing). Really bad. But then I ended up doing a pinkish red color which I kind of liked.

So now I'm almost a year out from no chemical treating and no heat styling (thank you, thank you, pat my self on the back). So I've been recently searching for a hair dye to use for my next hair dyeing adventure. I've been doing tons of research and I thought I might do a little video once I get ready to dye it. I plan to follow this up with a "hair journey" video and then the dyeing tutorial.
