Ultra Violet Bangs

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. When I'm in the process of growing out my hair I have a job that allows me to dye my hair all sorts pretty colors. As I go through what Eugene calls 'the ugly phase' of my hair growth, the good news is that I can block here and there with a few highlights for some shaping illusion. It looked a bit like a bowl cut before this which did not treat me well at all. I am super happy with the way that this turned out. It reminds me of my hair from last summer, except more intentional... I think.

I'm also proud to report that I am using my first ever Manic Panic product! I wanted a bluish purple for a change, something cool so I could start rocking warmer lip colors. The only company that had this tint of purple was none other than Manic Panic. Ultra Violet is such a pretty shade! I even love the way that it looks faded, cancelling out all of the yellow, turning into silvery shades. Best part of it is the staining power of the product. I just comb this color into my hair before I take a shower and wash my hair last. I have yet to do a touch up, but I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out.

This will probably be posted as I blaze Monday morning L.A. traffic. Where Monday's aren't the funnest of days I'll get to put a new face (hair?) forward. I'm fairly new to the daily grid, anyone have so tips for getting through Mondays in one piece?

Out and Abouts: Original Thai BBQ

I know that I recently did an Out & Abouts this week, but I couldn't help myself for this special occasion. This afternoon Eugene and I took Candice to fill out paperwork to her new job! Can you tell that she's happy? From working at a fabric store for 5 years to an Office Manager. She got her Christmas & Birthday wish all in one.

Her work is also a 10 minute drive on side streets from Eugene's place. I'll be giving her rides to work starting Monday until she gets better acquainted with things. We asked him a good place to eat for lunch and we went to this place just around the corner.

I love this place when your in a group looking for good food. They have family combinations that are under $30 and can feed a family of four. You know me and good cheap Asian Food, I never get tired of it. We ordered the C-2 Family combination.

 Here's what we got:

Clear Soup: Your standard chicken and vegetable clear soup. Mmm I love the little mushrooms and onions in it. You can tell that it comes out with the flame in the middle to keep it warm. I almost finished all of this immediately. Asian soup is so simple yet so yummy!

Honey Spare Ribs: Yeah, these ribs fall right off the bone. They're so tasty with a light honey sweet marinate. I'm not sure why they include the sweet chili sauce with it as it's pretty sweet by itself. They're also pretty saucy and spread well on the rice.

Yellow Chicken Curry: Oh yes, the sweet spicy curry! I love the potatoes that come with it. The sauce is lightly sweeter than most Thai curries because they add a bit of pineapple to the mix.

Broccoli Beef: Unlike the Chinese version, this has a much thinner sauce that is lightly sweeter. The beef is also sliced thinner so you get more of the Broccoli.

It's been awhile since I've had some Thai food so I was more than obliged to go. We had so much left overs it was ridiculous. It was a good token for Candice to take home before she got ready for her current job and put in her two week notice this evening. Wow, can you belive the years almost over? So many exciting things!
