grey is the new black

 

No, I am not talking about 50 Shades of Grey. It’s all about grey hair!

 

I am obsessed with beautiful women and grey hair. Especially in combination with tanned skin and icy blue eyes (which, admittedly are mostly contacts)… I have been eying with grey hair for a while now, there are only three things that have stopped me so from going grey immediately.

 

First of all the job, I work in a creative industry so I might be able to get away with it but not sure what the clients would say… or my boss! :/

 

Secondly grey hair is 1) extremely difficult to achieve (Bleach.Bleach.Bleach) and 2) extremely difficult to maintain. It washes out easily and fades quickly and can easily become green if you use the wrong product. Given that I work out every day and have to wash my hair daily that seems kind of difficult.

 

Thirdly I have finally gotten back to my beloved long hair, the last ombre dye is fading out at the bottom and my hair is finally long, healthy and natural again. Sigh.

 

Pictures are from Pinterest but check out the lovely Samantha (pic 3 & 5) on Instagram and Youtube!

 

What do you think? Do or don’t? Are you pro or contra grey hair?

Blogging made easy

I am sure I am not the only one who is sometimes overwhelmed by the complexity of social networks and tweaks and coups you need to know to sync everything at the same time. So I had been wondering if there was a way that I could make blogging but especially sharing things easier.

My biggest struggle: “Is there a way that I can post stuff automatically to my Facebook fan page but not to my private Facebook wall?”

I was sure that there would be a way to share what you post instantly to your Facebook fan page, twitter account etc. And after a bit of browsing I found the solution! >>>IFTTT<<<! Ok, now you’re like: “Wtf?” but IFTTT simply means: If this then that. And this is how it works: You create a “recipe” – a formula that configures what happens if a certain thing is done. For example I created a recipe that automatically posts a link to my newest blog post to my Facebook fan page and twitter. Every time I take a picture on Instagram it will be posted on my Facebook album. Now I don’t have to worry about updating every single post on every website – it happens simultaneously!

I think it’s fantastic. Absolutely what I have been looking for and completely for free too!

I am not going to explain it in detail as you can read a step by step guide >>>here<<<. But I can only recommend it to everyone who wants to instantly update all social media sites without any extra effort.
Btw: I am not getting paid for this. I just want to let everyone know in case some of you have been struggling with this too!
