What's that Smell?!?!!!!

Warning: blogging on IPhone while riding on Metro. Apologies in advance:)

So if you happen to walk by me today and it smells like the coffee equivalent of an oil spill, don't panic. No, the Exxon Juan Valdez ( let's see how many of you coffee freaks get that) did not sink off the coast of my desk. It's my hair and it's on purpose. Yesterday I read somewhere that hair could be dyed brunette with coffee or tea. It sounded like a great idea and I was really bored so why not? No I did not go platinum blond recently. My hair was already brown but had a hint of red tint. I know some of you are thinking why in the he'll would you even waste your time ( in assuming the portion of you that doesn't know me), but I had to try for myself.

After shampooing my hair clean, I brewed a huge pot of coffee and let it cool down in the fridge. Once I was certain it was no longer and scalding hot, I put the coffee in a cooking pot and placed it in the sink. I then proceed to douse y hair with coffee for about 15 mins. After the smell became over powering I went and dis 30 mins of sitting with it on my head so my hair could soak it up. It was so strong I felt like I was sitting in the body of a chain-smoking coffee chugger ( we all know one). I finally rinsed it out but it left my hair a little dry so I just went ahead and just deep conditioned it. It's the next morning and I can still smell the coffee. So much so that I have lost all desire to drink any ( red bull here I come). If you are wondering if I saw any results, I have to wait and verify in the sunlight with a trusted family member. I'd like to think there was at least a slight change though :)

This totally reminds me of that one time Vanilla Ice was being interviewed and they asked him if he ripped the beat for "Ice Ice Baby" from that one song "Pressure". His response:
(in a seriously offended manner)No! That song goes " dun-dun-dun-dundun-dun-dun"mine goes " dun-dun-dun-dun-dundun-dun-dun"!

It was the funniest thing I've ever heard and I make it a point to reference it whenever something is so similar to another but someone swears there is a distinction. It still makes me laugh:) Anyway, I bet I have an ice ice baby vs. Pressure situation going on with my hair color but at least Ill be able to tell the difference!

Stay Classy :)
