February 2021 – Mel Gets Dressed

February 2021 Recap

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted! A lot has happened this month, and it’s been nothing short of exciting!

February has historically been a very laid back month for me, where I usually spend the entire month waiting for the snow to stop and for Spring to arrive. This year, a lot happened for me! We got lots of snow (duh), I celebrated my 5 year anniversary with my work, celebrated Valentine’s Day with the boyf, got a new couch, made my first TikTok video, got my first gift from a company, and I dyed my hair blue!

As are many, I’m very excited for the pandemic to be over so I can do MORE exciting things in months to come. Here’s to hoping that March is just as great and exciting!

Snowy Day Essentials

Can you believe that I’ve lived in New England my entire life and didn’t own a real winter jacket until last year? And it was a gift from Shawn!

Although my parents definitely bundled me up as a kid, I’ve refused to dress warm since high school and that didn’t change until recently. For whatever reason, I felt like it was uncool? I was very wrong. Now, you can’t catch me outside without my North Face puffer, bean boots, scarf, and a Carhartt beanie. Also, who knew that masks kept your face so warm? I’m thinking this is going to be a winter-weather dog-walking essential even after cover is over.

Today, we’re enjoying the snow in warmth! We got about 4 inches yesterday and Winston is loving every second if it.

Blonde Hair

Well, I guess I didn’t make it out of quarantine without doing my own hair…

Just kidding, I’ve been doing my own hair for about a year now! Before quarantine started, I was actually a hair model for an AMAZING hair dresser in Salem. I’ve had every hair color under the sun, from blue to pink to rainbow. When salons shut down, my roots started growing and I had no way to change that. Even after watching countless YouTube videos of Brad Mondo telling me not to, I headed straight to Sally’s Beauty Supply and picked up some powder bleach, developer, and toner and got to it.

The results were just plain okay! Even after toning, my roots were still a bit yellow but instead of bleaching them again, I’ll leave them as-is for now because I have a few changes I’d like to make in the near future. Stay tuned, wink wink.
