main character vibes 😎

Self CareNotion

Jan 2

laying foundations & getting organized 🧱🎨

happy january and happy new calendar year! i’m not one to subscribe to making huge changes at this time of the year - it just doesn’t feel quite right in the cold and dark of winter… so i’m marinating in what i’d love 2024 to bring and be, and laying the foundations for it to bloom in spring.

this year, i’m leaning into my main character energy, self trust, and being loud. loudly myself. i’m digging these vibes for myself 😎 - i really feel like these past few years have been laying the foundations for me to get to this point, so it feels pretty dang exciting to be here, laying the foundations for me to bloom into my own story. 🌷

what energy are you calling in this year? i’d love to hear about it and celebrate it with you!

as i embark on my main character voyage, i’m considering all the different facets of my life that make me who i am, and self expression is a big part of that. one of my fav ways to express myself is through fun hair colors! 🎨

during the pandemic, i took a break from doing anything wild to my hair. when i decided to get back into it, i surprisingly felt pretty overwhelmed. i realized that i had never written down what dyes and colors i used, how the results turned out, what process we did (we = my mom & i, thank you mom for dyeing my hair for the past 20 years 😉)… i felt like i didn’t know where to start.

then i realized that i could use my number 1 software resource to help me out… Notion! and build a hair [dye] dashboard so i could keep track of everything. i am so freaking grateful to have Notion in my life now, because this whole hair dyeing process just got a hell of a lot easier. and more fun! 🎉

i’ve got a database to store all the important info: hair dye brand & color & ratios, the result, the instructions/process, any other notes, and photos! i’ve got a gallery of all my beautiful past hair colors which brings me a lot of joy. ☀️

my most recent hair color adventure! ❤️

and it makes it so easy to be able to look at a photo, see what i used, and have much more success at recreating it if i want! 📷

this is also super helpful for salon visits cuz i can jot down what my stylist used and have a photo so i’m more prepared whenever i go back to the salon. 💇

now i don’t have to feel panicked or overwhelmed or try to remember all the details from past dyes… i can just check out my notes. and that leaves all the free space in my head to be able to dream up the next creative self expression adventure. 🎨💭
