Ah ladies, it's spring! Time for a new romance? Wedge sandals from TOM's? Or perhaps it's time for a new hair color?! I love hair color. Actually it's more like I like coloring my hair. The possibility that after I apply this magical elixir, in 25 minutes I could be Marilyn Monroe or some other famous person of the moment is what I love about it.

Now I do believe in going to our hair masters in salons if we don't know what we're doing. I also love it when I have extra cash to be able to afford that salon visit. Thank the heaven's that when I'm broke there are new incredible formulas that won't ruin my hair! Or have me ruin my hair because I don't know what I'm doing!

Here are my two new Faves!

1. John Frieda Precision Foam Color

Love this foam formula! John Frieda Precision Foam Color ($11.99, drugstore.com) No drips! No stains. But most of all I love the new modern shades he's created. There's 30 of them! Love it! Just click here and take a look at all the options.

if you're concerned about how to do it at home, here are some videos with tips to achieve the best look.

2. Clairol Natural Instincts

Love this Semi-permanent ammonia free formula that has 22 shades to choose from. You get healthy looking color and shine in just 10 minutes. It's a great way to perk up your natural hair color without all of the commitment of permanent hair color. Clairol Natural Instincts ($7.19,drugstore.com) won't damage your hair.

Bonus Round!

If you're a scaredy cat when it comes to color, Clairol also has Natural Instincts Shine Happy shine treatment ($7.19, drugstore.com)! No color, just incredible shine!

So go ahead! Time to fall in love and possibly become the blonde you always wanted to be. Let me know if blondes do have more fun!

Happy Spring
