Feeling Very…Numb?

We just got confirmation that my husband is infertile.

On one hand, it’s going to be very nice not to cry every time I start my period instead of having a positive pregnancy test.
On the other hand, I’m devastated. All we wanted was to be parents. I also know we still can be through adoption, and I’m not closed off to that. Unfortunately the timing for that just isn’t now.

I know that this is just our cross to bear.
I’m still sad.
But I give it up to God, and place our future in His hands.

Still, please pray for my husband and I, sisters.
God bless.

Ex-Stylist, Struggling With Game Plan For My Own Color Correction

Hey everyone!

I was a stylist at one point, but pivoted careers like 2 years ago. However I still keep up on my license and do hair friends and family from time to time.

Anywayyy.
I’m over my color, and the upkeep of color in general tbh. I want to color my hair to get close to my natural so that I don’t have insane roots lol.

As far as hair history goes:
I used to be a vivids queen, and then slapped Pravana 1N all over and had that for quite a few years. I would touch up my roots every 2 ish months, and do a shampoo cap all over every other time.

Then I did a few rounds of Malibu CPR, and one round of Matrix Color Erase with Pravana ZeroLift developer.

Then I got my hair done by a stylist friend who used Matix 5VV from their alkaline demi line. I ended up putting Pulp Riot 4-22 all over that after a few weeks, and have been touching that up every 2 months, just as I did with the 1N I had previously.

So where I’m struggling now is formulation for neutralizing the color I have currently, and finding a demi to throw over everything else. For reference, first picture is my current hair & second shows my extremely grown out roots lol.

I know I’ll likely have to go darker than my natural due to the 4-22. That’s fine. My goal is to just grow this out and eventually be all natural.

I have my license still so SalonCentric and CosmoProf are available to me.

Any tips?

Thank you in advance! 🖤

Hello! I’m being a little bold putting myself out here, but here goes lol.

I’m a 32 year old married catechumen who will be entering the church in 2027. I’m a little under 2 years into my faith journey, coming from a heavily atheist background. Because of this, the majority of my friends are secular, and I find myself in a position where I’m constantly defending my beliefs. It’s a little exhausting.

I have really been trying to build more intentional faith-based relationships, and I’ve tried finding community within my parish. While I’ve definitely made friends, they’re mostly busy moms who truly don’t have time to text or get together for lunch, etc. That’s completely understandable! (I’m ttc myself, so I pray I’ll be in their shoes at some point.) But in the meantime, I’m just looking for women who I share common interests with, to get to know and maybe do things together!

If you’re in the Northern Utah area, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for reading, and God bless!
