During one of my breaks at work yesterday, I went to the health & beauty section. I was looking for some new eyeliner and I saw the aisle of hair dyes. As soon as I saw it, I decided I was sick of having blonde in my hair and bought 2 boxes of Garnier 100% Colour in Medium Brown, which is actually really dark brown - but I already knew that because I used to use that colour all the time.

I do that sometimes. I see something I like and decide to just go for it. I mean appearance-wise. I just had the blonde put in 3 weeks ago. But I actually missed having dark hair because it looks better on me.

I added a music player to the site! Just click on "Music" under the Nav on the left. I have to change some of the songs still.

I've been thinking about adding more to the site - yummy but healthy recipes, articles on health & beauty, etc. I was planning on opening another site, Style Central, but it's just too much work. It's only about 1/4 done and I've had the site for months. I'll probably get around to it later in the summer.

Right now I want to focus on this site because I let it die for so long. Plus, I'm getting like 50 unique hits a day. They just randomly shot up one day. It was actually a day when I wasn't on the computer at all - I went to Canada's Wonderland. When I got home a couple days later I looked at the stats and it said my highest day was July 20th with 106 unique hits.

I think I'm going to end this here, seeing as I've written a novel.

This is my absolute favourite salad.

Ingredients:
4 c. rotini or other twist pasta
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 c. olive oil
3 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. parsley, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 tsp. salt to taste
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. prepared mustard
1 soft-boiled egg yolk (from a 2-minute egg)
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Ingredients:
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well. Set aside to cool completely (or to cool quickly, rinse with cold water then drain well). Combine remaining ingredients, except cheese, in a large bowl to make dressing. Toss pasta to coat with the dressing. Sprinkle with cheese and toss again. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

I didn't feel like trying to remember all that goes in it, so I just got the recipe from somewhere else. It's slightly different than how I usually make it, but I'm sure it's just as good.

This is one of my favourite drinks. It's healthy, delicious, and can replace a whole meal.

Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla or plain yogurt
1 banana, peeled & sliced
6 strawberries

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth, and voila! Makes about two servings. Feel free to add ice cubes to make it thicker. I also add juice to mine sometimes, for some extra flavour.
