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! :-)

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! ;-)

 

The Day of Three Makeovers!

Today has been a day of playing around on the new Instant Makeover feature on People.com. You  simply upload a picture of yourself, and you can try on celebrity hairstyles, change hair colors, and play with all different kinds of makeup, lashes, colored contacts, etc, etc, etc!! SOOO MUCH FUN!!!!

Here are my 3 Makeovers:

#3:

I had so much fun doing these??? Anyway, go check out this site: Instant Makeover.

On a side note: I used to work at this Mc —nope, nope, nope, not going to say the name! I used to work at this fast food restaurant, for like 2 weeks, something like 15 years ago. The thing about this fast food place, was that I was at an all time low place in my life back then, and I was DESPERATE for a job. Well, I got a position there, and the lady who was going to be my “trainer” had a real power thing going on about her – she would stand at the counter and watch me sweep the floors not 3 feet away from her, and if she wanted me to do another chore she wouldn’t call my name, she would pull this little bell out of her pocket and ring it at me. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? Well, we needed the money – like I said I was DESPERATE, so I just bit my cheek and tried to keep doing my job with as much dignity as I could muster! Well, after two weeks, I got a break, called my husband to come pick me up, and I left there never to go back.

I always hated that I left that place without telling the girl who was my “trainer” how demoralizing her and that damn bell were, and although I had let it go a long time ago – really I had, it kind of nagged at me a little every time I would drive past that fast food place.

Well, my point in telling you all that was when I drove by today I noticed that the whole building had been bulldozed down to the ground (yes, ok, it is probably just to build a new and bigger Mc – nope, almost let it slip – Fast food joint, but that’s not the point). Sometimes justice may have to come along 15 years later, but for some reason, I know that ever time I drive down that blasted road, I will be able to breathe a little easier knowing that there is some possibility that that damn little bell might have been crushed in the rubble. It really is the simple things in life that gives a girl pleasure!!!

*WINK*!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!
