A few small changes in your DNA can turn your eyes blue, make you lactose intolerant or put some curl in your hair.

I'm fortunate to have blue eyes!
It's something that's always been there for me, that I have huge blue eyes - it's been something that people have always talked about.
I grew up in a predominantly Caucasian community, and most of my friends had blonde hair and blue eyes. So I was always straightening my hair, wearing colored contacts, and I never tanned, if I could help it.
Bleaching eyebrows makes me crazy.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to dye my hair crazy colors.
I used to experiment all the time with my hair color.
Hair that looks like it's been naturally sun-bleached makes you seem youthful, like you spend a lot of time outdoors. And that appeals to most people.
When my hair is dyed, I feel like I'm 35 again.
Even with seemingly simple things like eye color, you can't tell from my genetic code whether I have blue eyes or not. So it's naive to think that complex human behaviors, like risk-seeking, are driven by changes in one or two genes.
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
