Where have I been???

Where in the world have I been? Sorry for my lack of blogging! I've been so wrapped up in school. Right now I have some free time but things are about to get crazy again so I may disappear for a while again but I'm going to try my hardest to keep posting blogs. I revamped my YouTube account and plan to start posting more videos really soon! Posting videos have been weighing on my mind for a while now. I need to get back into my grove!

School has been amazing. I love it and love everyone I got to school with & all my teachers! I've learned so much that I can't really go through it all but I will be doing more Youtube videos showing you all what I have learned.

I recently bought two new bathing suits from Victorias Secret and LOVE them! They really have the best bathing suits! I also am getting ready to start a new job at a hair salon as the receptionist. I'm so excited! I can't wait to start making some money!!! I'll share some pictures from over the past few months. Hope you all enjoy :) More blogging to come. Sorry I couldn't write more! xoxo

Frist day of Cosmetology Class!

My first day of cosmetology school was yesterday. It was a whirlwind! I received my kit & labeled everything w/ my name. I go from 9-330pm tues-sat. We took a ton of notes on bacteria, sanitation, sterilization, and hand washing. It was so much writing & highlighting! We will have a test on all of it next Thursday. I'm stressed but need to make sure I study!!!

After all that we got our mannicans out & learned how to section the hair into 4 parts.The teacher wanted to check our work and I was the 1st one she told "good job" awesomeness! I was so proud of myself! Anyway! That's about it for now. I've had so much lack of sleep :( need.sleep.now haha off to day 2! Woohoo!

My First Day...

Today is my first day of beauty school. I'm waiting in the lobby for orientation to start. Its from 1230-330pm and its 1200pm now! They suggested you buy a bigger bag on wheels to carry all your things and I didn't bring it with me today since its orientation but as I wait in the lobby there is a girl in here waiting & she has her bag... On wheels... And I don't. I hope they're not mad. If I remember correctly it was optional anyway... :/ I'm just so freaking nervous! I will blog as soon as I can & let you know how the day went! Ahhhhh

Tuesday, Tuesday

It's about 12:45pm here where I'm at on the East Coast. I have done nothing! I have the worst head ache. It is bearable right now but for the most part I can't shake it. I don't know why! I have a feeling it's because I was on the computer until 11:30pm last night. Maybe the screen is messing with my eyes and giving me a head ache? UGH either way I need to break this habit I need to stop being on the computer so late and getting to bed so late. I'm a mess with so much free time lol. I can't wait for school to start. It will be so nice!

Things I'm loving at the moment:

Bare Minerals Bronzer- gives me a nice glow with out looking orange=finally! (Little goes a long way)












Cetaphil daily lotion with SPF- I never moisturized my face before and my skin was getting dry in certain spots this winter. I started using this stuff and have really noticed a difference in my skin. It is very soft and smooth now.


Garnier Full Body moose- I use this before I blow dry, before I curl, or straighten my hair. It's good all around!



Palmers Shea Butter Lotion- My FAVORITE body lotion. Could not live with out it. I hope they don't ever stop selling this stuff. Palmers brand is the BEST.

Hope you all enjoyed and sorry for complaining about my head ache!!!

Paul Mitchelle Flat Iron & Update!


This is my WONDERFUL Paul Mitchelle Flat Iron. I LOVE it. I couldn't recommend enough!

I received it as a gift and have been in love with it since. It heats up super quick and you can adjust the heat temp. It's smaller than I would have picked out but it gets the job done faster than my big ol' piece of crap one I had! I found it online retailing for $225.00 which is a lot but if your saving up for a new flat iron and are looking the the best bang for your buck, you've found it! It really does an awesome job and I don't even feel like it is frying my hair at all. I dye my hair blond and I get compliments all the time that my hair feels healthy. I owe all of that to my conditioning routine and my flat iron. My old flat iron would kill my hair and it really smelt burnt but now I don't have to worry about all of that. If anyone tries it, or has it, let me know what you think about it. Like I said, I love it! It is so easy to travel with too! I've had mine a year and have taken if on vacations and never have to worry about it taking up too much space!!

Cosmetology update: 
I went last Tuesday and registered for school. I am officially enrolled and thrilled about it! I haven't heard back about financial aide for school yet but hope to hear something really soon. I have orientation next Monday January 18th. from 12:30-3:30pm. I will get my kit and all kinds of important information! I had to buy a bad with wheels on it (suggested by school) and I found a nice one for 20 bucks at Walmart. I wanted it in pink but when It came to my house it was black and dark green lol. I don't think I chose the right color... I felt stupid  then realized no one will be looking at my bag! And if they do, they have no life! Even though, I really wanted PINK! I have to buy a combination lock for my locker at school, binder, sheet protectors and pens. I bought a pink binder since I didn't get the pink bag lol and zebra design pens and plain old sheet protectors and lock. I'm excited about it though!


I have to wear black and white to school. No designs, only patterns, not cream, not gray, Black and white ONLY. I have been collecting black and white shirts like crazy! I need to go out this week some time and buy some pants which are the one thing I need really bad. I also need black shoes, closed toe and comfy. So I'm going to buy a cute comfy pair of black flats or or boots. As spring draws closer I'll get more springy type things but I can work with what I have for now. I'm so happy!!!  I feel like everything is finally falling together. I am focusing on this next chapter in my life.


Once I start school I'm going to apply to some salons around my house and around school that way I can gain extra experience. I shampooed hair for 4 years while in high school so at least I have some experience and maybe me being in school they'll want to hire me even more!


Hope everyone  has a wonderful day! Be inspired!!
