Image
Just 3 months ago, we were all celebrating the New Year, as always we were imagining what it is going to be like - 'a year of change' some screamed, 'an exciting year of opportunity' others hoped for - but definitely no one could have quite predicted that we would be in the situation we are in right now! Three months in and we are stuck at home with a virus that has wreaked havoc through all of our lives  - definitely no one saw this one coming! At Hair Colour Studio we are quite used to having you around when you are 'working from home' - but with self-isolation and a national lock down - working from home is really doing what it says on the tin. Yes at first the novelty is fun - days in pj's and laptops sound great... but then a few days pass by... next thing you now it is a week, and then it's 10 days - and just like that - it's your ROOTS!

Happy New Year! It's 2020, and I am still trying to figure out where the decade has gone! With a new year as always comes that slightly guilt-ridden feeling that you should be making some resolutions in an attempt to be that better human being we all aspire to be. Of course we fail most of the times, because we quickly tend to forget to be kind - because let's face it as humans we are just not built that way.

Coming from a country were you pretty much have an 8 month long summer (sometimes stifling) about 2 months of 'winter' and 2 months of Spring ... Autumn is kind of in-existent, you sort of wake up one day and the leaves are on the floor, and the next day its Winter...
