Loooong Day!

Good evening!

This is going to be a short post for a very looooong day!!! 😉 I am working extra hours at work for the next 3 days so that I am able to work only 1/2 a day on Thursday and get on the road to my spend the weekend with my family in Roseburg!! YEAH!!!

I can not even wait!!! 😉

I have been doing a lot of searching on Pinterest this evening, and the thing that I am mainly looking at is hair and makeup styles!! I know, kind of superficial, but for someone visual like me, I really can use some inspiration!!! 😉 I thought I would share some of my finds with you this evening!!!

Ok, so I might be a little obsessed, but it easy to see how that can happen, right???

Have a FABULOUS evening! :-)

Beautiful Wednesday!

Good evening!

Where do I begin? Well, I told you a few days ago that I was on the hunt for me new look!! The hunt is still on, and today I made a point to stop at Sally Beauty Supply and pick up a couple of necessities!!

I made sure to pick up another pair of lashes – I have been wearing a different pair every day for the past 3 days, which has been a lot of fun. It is really cool to see how different people react to them, most people don’t know what is different, but they can’t stop staring!! HEE! HEE! HEE!! 😉

I also got a new boar bristle teasing comb, to help me get some body in my baby-fine hair!! Thank you, Dawn, for that tip!!

I got a container of 300 bobby pins – I may NEVER need to buy new ones again, but then again – I already have a large container floating around SOMEWHERE, and it was because I could not find them that I had to make the stop to Sally’s in the first place. So, I can cross those off of my list now.

Oh, and something, that for some reason didn’t make it into this pic – I am not sure what I was thinking, but I did get a package of clear, easy slip mini hair bands for small pony tails, and braids. I am not sure why I didn’t have any of these, but I am VERY glad that I do now!!

I was very excited to get home from work today, and after I made dinner for my sweetie and I, I watched a few hair tutorials on YouTube!! As soon as I pic a few of my favorites, I will make a point to share some of them with you!! I did find one site that shared a TON of fun hair ideas, and right now I am really looking for some creative ideas! My hair is very thin and mousy, and after my last haircut where I asked for a different kind of layered cut – I have been fighting with my hair like a fiend!!! So, at this point, any help I can get is VERY WELL RECEIVED!! 😉

What else, well, ok maybe not a lot of anything else, but life really is good!! My official plan for this evening, is to give my sweet Fay girl a bath, and then go get some reading done before bed! (I know my life is terribly exciting, right???) LOL! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

OH CRAP!! I just realized that it is Wednesday , Chunky Dunker night, and I TOTALLY FORGOT!!! What does that say about me! Sheesh!!! 😉 Ok, girls! I owe you!!! 😉

Creating a Look!

Good evening!

I am in the market for a new look. My sweetie and I went out with my bestie and her fiance,  this evening. My girlfriend, Dawn, always looks like she just stepped right off of the latest fashion magazine. Well, tonight, her hair was looking extra especially cute and it has inspired me to stop on the way home to pick up some fashion magazines, and look into some new hairstyles, makeup techniques, and some new fashion looks.

I am not looking for anything super dramatic, but just a few minor tweaks and options for the me that I am right now. I find that I have gotten myself in a bit of a fashion rut, and have been really playing it safe. Super-safe – almost frump girl at times!! I figure if no one notices me, why does it even matter? But, the reality is, is that it matters because I notice!! now that I have started to lose weight, I really want to make sure that my outside is looking as good as my inside is feeling!

Who are some of my dream style icons?

  • Audrey Hepburn
  • Adele
  • Sophia Loren
  • Diane von Furstenberg
  • Kelly Osbourne
  • Katherine Hepburn
  • Diane Keaton

I think my style is feminine, classic, romantic, tailored. When I am not careful, it can run into safe, boring, ho-hum, so I need to make sure to do a good job to keep some life in my look, so that my spirit is truly represented in my overall style look. I am a firm believer that you really do have just moments to make a good first impression!! Besides, what woman doesn’t LOVE feeling FABULOUS??? 😉

What is your style, and who are you style icons? I would love to hear from you in the comments section.

Have a FABULOUS evening! ;-)

 

Finding Myself in the Mirror!

Good evening!

I have been doing a lot of life changing events lately, A LOT!! I have started a self-help artist way journey to rediscover my inner artist, I have been doing morning pages every day for 8 + weeks, I have and am purging all of the non-me items out of my life, and now I have made another change. Ok, this one might not exactly be a life changer, but it will simplify my morning routine. I have gotten 11 inches cut off of my hair!!!

I wanted to be able to make a hair donation to locks of love, which I am now able to do, but even more than that, I wanted a change. A physical, in your face – change. I have been told that I have been becoming a different person over the last 8 weeks, but I just don’t see it. I have been told that I seem happier, calmer, and more flexible, which I guess is all true, but being a visual person I wanted to SEE a CHANGE, so this was the way that I gave it to myself!!

I went into my hairstylist, Lauren, and told her what I wanted, she was more than happy to be accommodating, plus she was SUPER-SUPPORTIVE as I hemmed and hawed over whether or not I was going to take the “Big Cut”! I had told myself I wasn’t going to do it, but I had a sad, sinking feeling in my gut, and I knew it was time. NOW-OR-NEVER!! So I told her to just cut it off, and take off an additional inch just for good measure!!

So, I am very happy with my decision! WIth it straightened it falls to just below my shoulder, I know that when I let it go curly it is going to be much shorter, but I am going to wear it for a week before I pass my final judgement! BESIDES, it was for a good cause, it really, truly is a WIN-WIN!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!

Chunky Dunkers: I will meet you in the comments section!! 😉
