Growing older graciously... not a chance! After many years of being perfectly happy not dyeing my hair, enjoying the freedom of not spending hours at the hairdresser, of not constantly having the roots touched up, not spending a small fortune etc. etc. I decided to celebrate my approaching sixtieth birthday by having all remaining coulour bleached out and a lavender tint put in.
I always hated hairdresser visits until I met Tom, but not only does he do a great cut he's also great fun. So visits to the hairdresser are something I enjoy rather than dread. We've been plotting this colour change for several months and I finally took the plunge this week... and I love it! Another thing ticked off my sixty by sixty list.
I doubt it will be something I maintain for long but I'll enjoy it for now. And while I'm growing older disgracefully I might as well show you my outfit for my moonwalk next week. It's not often (if ever) that I wear so little in public but it is all for a good cause. Just keep your fingers crossed that it stays warm and dry overnight on Saturday!
And if any one fancies sponsoring me the link is here:
Meanwhile I have finished another birthday cake (layers of lemon drizzle) this weekend and have another two to make this week... keeps me out of mischief I guess.
I'll be back soon to tell you all about the walk if not before!
Well done you, you look amazing. The hair colour is absolutely brilliant. And what a sensational cake, lemon as well, my favourite. Hope you have a good week, and good luck on the moonwalk, I shall keep everything crossed for warm weather. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteGood for you Gina...your hair looks great and I love your outfit for the walk...you go girl!!!
ReplyDeleteGrowing old disgracefully - I love it! You look amazing Gina, and I really like the lavender tint. You are right on trend! Enjoy your moon walk, it sounds fun (if a bit daunting). x
ReplyDeleteLove it....all!
ReplyDeleteLove the look. Ladies in lavender indeed. Good luck on your moonwalk, that will be another major challenge ticked off. Your cake is making me feel hungry :). Have a good week. B x
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara x
DeleteLove the new hair colour, you look fab! The cake is very pretty, too, with the mix of fruit and flowers. Good luck with the walking challenge. Such a great cause.
ReplyDeleteI think you look great. I like your new hair colour, it suits you.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! xx
DeleteThree great photos! Love the hair colour, and the outfit, and the cake looks good too.
ReplyDeletelove the hair.
ReplyDeleteHow can you make all those cakes and look that fan bloody tastic?
ReplyDeleteThe hair is glorious!
ReplyDeleteVery snazzy! I hope it warms up for your walk, I'm frozen.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I've got a vest on this morning. Forecast is 18/19 deg for Sat/Sun in London so fingers crossed
DeleteYour cake looks amazing! It's my favourite flavour too, lucky birthday person! The shade of lavender is such a great idea, it suits you very well. I don't have a 'by sixty' list, maybe I should start one? I only have 2 years left! xx
ReplyDeleteLuscious in Lavender!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Moonwalk.
Not so much 'hurtling towards 60' as 'running at it headlong and taking it by the scruff of the neck'!!!! You rock girl and you still have the body to show off that outfit plus you're now one of those Ladies in Lavender. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteBravo Gina, on all fronts! Hoping that evening will be warm. xo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous hair! Gorgeous cake! Gorgeous outfit! Good luck for the walk.
ReplyDeleteYour hair suits you very well as does your outfit. I hope it stays warm for you.
ReplyDeleteCake looks wonderful.
