50 Shades Of Rose Gold (Hair)

October 3, 2016 By Melanie No Comments

rose-gold-hair-4 rose-gold-hair-3You know the saying, “A girl who changes her hair is about to change her life.” Well, I may not be doing anything incredibly life changing – but seeing that there’s a change of seasons, I figured this was relevant all the same.

After plenty of contemplation and many nights perusing Pinterest, I worked up the courage to go BIG with a color I’ve never donned before. Enter – rose gold. The pretty, whimsical shade that makes anyone look like a fairy princess. {Cue the unicorn}

Since I knew I needed a color expert in order to execute this without making me look like a tacky nightmare, I turned to Fox & Jane to assess their talent roster and see who was up to the challenge. I ran across Betsy Duggan’s Instagram and instantly fell in love with her gorgeous lookbook of colored hairstyles. This woman is a balayage queen and I knew she would be able to bring the vision I had in my head to life.

rose-gold-hair-6rose-gold-hair-5rose-gold-hair Yesterday, I sat in Betsy’s chair at the Fox & Jane salon in East Village and watched as she transformed my brassy, grown out ombre into this magical rose gold mane that you see here. Not only was she able to get the tones of rose gold on point but she’s also incredibly sweet. After her assistant finished styling my hair, Betsy took a few snaps of my ‘do for Instagram. I’ll admit that the new color is going to take some getting used to – but I’m already really loving it! I wish that pink hair wouldn’t fade so fast but unfortunately Betsy did remind me that the rosy glow will only last for a few weeks before I need to get it touched up.  The good news is she made sure to tone my bleached locks so that there will be beautiful transition from rose gold to a blonde balayage whenever I decide to say goodbye to pink hair.

Are you thinking of changing up your hair this season? If you’re in need of some color inspo – check out Fox & Jane’s Instagram. I genuinely think they have some of the most talented colorists in NYC. Happy coloring!

#ad The key to a good morning starts with how you spend your evenings, which is why I’ve been doing my best to create more intentional ways to unwind and promote a restful night sleep 😴 

Most evenings the little habits like an everything shower, followed by a hot cup of peppermint tea in my cozy pajamas and reading a book in bed are enough to do the trick

 For nights when I need some extra support, I take @natrolofficial Sleep & Restore. I love that it features a unique ingredient blend—melatonin to help me fall asleep faster, magnesium to relax my body and GABA to improve my sleep quality (after one week)+. And since they’re not something I need to take often, I appreciate that they are non-habit forming 

What are some cozy rituals you like to incorporate into your evenings for a more restful sleep?

14 miles. 7 hours. 1 gorgeous city 🫶🏼

Despite having lived in NYC through my 20s, I never woke up and decided that I felt like walking the entirety of Manhattan in a day… but now that I’m back here with a friend it felt like the perfect way to show her around the city that will always feel like home to me ☺️💕

It was a looong day of walking and my feet are TIRED today but wow was it worth it! If you’re ever in NYC I def recommend doing the “broad city walk” challenge and trying this out yourself. I promise you won’t regret it 

Shoutout to @shaylaquinn for the inspo 👟

Is this something YOU’LL add to your bucket list?

Spend a cozy morning filled with a few of my fav feel good rituals that help set a positive tone for the day 🤎 … and since my day really starts around 6am with bbg, I really cherish this “me time” during her first nap

You all know I love my “move, nourish, self-care” formula for mindful morning routines and this time, that looked like:

✨making my bed (the love for gingham continues) 
✨a BIG second pumpkin spice cake coffee topped with cinnamon in my Luke’s Diner mug 
✨B and I baked a homemade pumpkin cinnamon sourdough loaf together (my first time!) and it is sooo good
✨ never skipping the skincare essentials, especially a chilled balm for these tired mama eyes 
✨ a chocolate brown matching set is def the vibe this season 
✨ squeezed in a 30 min barre sculpt workout and it was spicy 

I hope you all are able to get offline and do a few things to fill your cup today ❤️🧸

As the seasons start to shift, it’s a great time
As the seasons start to shift, it’s a great time to welcome a little more hygge (a danish concept that is all about creating a quality of coziness and comfort) into our lives 🤎🧸

The focus shifts away from “things” and leans more into small rituals that make you feel grounded, content and present in the moment 

Here are 6 ways to add more hygge into your daily routines:

✨create cozy morning rituals✨

Instead of rushing into the day, try adding one or two elements to your mornings that feel a bit more calm and intentional. For example you can play soft music while you get ready or light your favorite candle while sipping on your coffee ☕️ 

✨make meals feel special ✨

Make mealtime extra cozy and mindful by putting away electronics, using your favorite plates & glassware, or making dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and childhood comfort 

✨ add touches of warmth & softness✨

Keep extra blankets nearby, switch to lamps or candlelight in the evening, and rotate in seasonal accents to make your home feel more inviting 

✨bring nature inside✨

Hygge is all about being connected to the natural world — so open up the window to let the crisp air in, buy yourself a seasonal bouquet, or use pumpkins to decorate your home 

✨make time for connection✨

Life is all about who we share it with and cozy season is a great excuse to meet your friend for a PSL, have more family dinners, and host comforting gatherings with loved ones 

✨embrace slow evenings✨

Create a sense of calm before bed by creating slow, intentional rituals. Make a cup of tea, read a book or do a calming hobby, and put on comfy loungewear 

How are you adding a little more coziness into your routine this autumn?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but cozy hobbies are 100% the self-care we all need in this busy season of life 🎨 

I’ll be sharing some of my personal favorites all season long and the first up are these adorable watercolor books… which are basically the adult version of coloring

They’re the perfect activity to unwind, get creative and intentionally get off your phone 😉. Bonus — each page includes a step by step so they are very beginner friendly AND they only take about 10-15 min. Perfect for squeezing in when you’re short on time but need a min to just “be” 

Let me know if you’re excited to see more cozy crafts & hobby ideas for fall and the upcoming holiday season! I have lots of new things I want to try and can’t wait to share 🤎
