Ladies of Hive #304 | Dreaming of Curls and Living in Blue

Gemini_Generated_Image_isurbsisurbsisur.jpg Two lovely questions this week, and funny enough, my answers to both are basically my little escape plan from screens, numbers and everything digital haha. Let me explain.

If I had the time, what would I study?

Now this is going to sound like a plot twist coming from a software engineer, but if I had all the time in the world, I would love to study hair. Hair cutting, coloring, styling, even makeup.

I am not a fashionista at all, trust me, but something about it really pulls me. I think it is because it is the complete opposite of my day. After hours of AI, coding and numbers, the idea of working with my hands, some color and a bit of creativity feels like a real escape from all that noise.

And there is a very practical side too. I am a mom of two girls, so learning all of this would basically turn me into their personal little salon. Do you have any idea how much that would save my pocket in the future? hahah. Honestly my phone gallery is already halfway to a diploma, I have saved so many hairstyles from Instagram to try on my girls that I think I have my own course sitting in there already 😅

So yes, one day, scissors and hair dye over keyboards and semicolons. A girl can dream.

My favorite color, and how it makes me feel

My heart lives somewhere in the blue range. Blue, and I love purple too, and those deep petroleum, teal kind of shades just do something to me. They feel calm. Whenever I picture a relaxing space at home, it is always in those tones. They slow me right down and make a room feel peaceful.

Here is the funny part though, I love these colors but I would almost never wear them. For me they belong on walls and cushions and cozy corners, not on me haha.

What I do love to wear is white. So fresh, so clean, so calm... for about five minutes, until my kids find me. Somehow, some way, white never survives a full day in this house. A little handprint here, a mystery stain there, and my crisp white is gone 😂 But I keep buying it anyway. Hope over experience, I suppose.

As for the colors I could happily live without, yellow is a firm no from me, and red is not really my thing either. Give me a soft blue room over those any day.

So there you have it. A software engineer who dreams of cutting hair and relaxes in a sea of blue. Maybe we really are all a little more than our job titles 💜

    I spent many years in I.T., too, so I can understand the desire for a creative outlet! I can imagine your two giggling girls with their new hairstyles! 😊 ...and yeah, white is a difficult color for Moms! I remember that well! 😂

    I sometimes wondered if my life be different if I had two daughters. I was blessed with two sons instead who are now young men. Never a dull day @dimante 💞

    Lol! I get the hair thing! Over 30 years ago, I lived in Ohio and would have my hair cut at a salon I frequented. I would watch in the mirror as the gal cut my hair; it's always been somewhat long, but back then, was in layers. 26 years ago after an 8 year stint in Colorado, we moved to Washington state, and I could never find anyone to cut my hair the way I liked it. So, I cut my own. All through my children's growing up years, I cut theirs as well, and still to this day, do mine and my husband's. I have not paid for a haircut in 34 years! My hair is down below my rear end. Here's a picture with it pinned up.

    As for color; your description sounds lovely! Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY

    Studying hairdressing and makeup seems like a great option—as you say, an escape from the daily grind—plus you can practice the skills on your girls and yourself. Blue is certainly a relaxing color. Have a lovely day!
