Pink Hair

I keep changing my hair. I just can’t keep one color for too long, it just bothers me.  And so I decided to go pink…. Again. XD it took a while because I wanted to bleach it slowly do I wouldn’t damage it but it came out awesome! I took Pictures of each color my hair was on the way to pink. It looks pretty cool XD

I used my favorite pink dye, “Pink Fetish” from Splat. I also bought the new Splat Ombre kit in “Rain” which comes with new pink and purple shades called "Pink Mist" and "Violet Storm".

I plan to ask if my friend Tori from school could go back and fix my roots for me because I missed a few places with the bleach so the pink didn’t take to those parts and can’t really see the back of my head so I’ll need the help. =/ but overall I am super happy with the results. I might change it up a bit when its time to touch it up. Maybe use the ombre kit to throw in some under color or a slight ombre or streaks.

I haven’t decided yet. Tori says I should just use the purple on my roots now so it covers the places I missed and it gives it an ombre effect going from purple at the roots for an inch or so and blending into the pink on the rest. I guess time will tell. Who knows? I might just do it all!

Well there is one thing for sure though, it feels good being pink again. Crazy as it sounds it actually feels natural for me. Its good to be back =)

Every Day Makeup For School

As a cosmetology student, my class and I are required to work on our professional image as we go to school to we are prepared when we start our lives after. For us, this includes wearing makeup every day. 

Considering that I have to wear makeup every day for school, I figured might as well go the little extra mile right? So I played with a few looks before I settled on a nice soft neutral look. This is the makeup I put on when I don’t want to deal with liquid liner. That’s a whole nother ball game. lol

This is what I used:

 -L.A. Colors 12 color Pallet - Trendy

-NYC IndividualEyes  Pallet - Centeral Park for Green eyes

-CoverGirl Clean pressed powder Compact - Ivory

-Revlon LashPotion mascara - Black

-Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick – Blushing Nude

-CoverGirl TruConceal Concealer – Fair

- Jordana Eyeliner pencil - Black

Transformation Journey Series Launch

Oh Yeah, My Hair Is Black Now

Sooooooooooo, I dyed my hair black. My roots were so dark and there was about two inches of growth. I decided I should just cover it up rather than bleach my roots to be blonde. It was at such a healthy state and I didn't want to fry my hair again so black seemed like the better option. Dark brown would have just looked muddy on me.

I like how the black looks on me. I HATE  the dye we used though. Milissa did it for me and we used L'oreal Preference Mousse Absolute color #100 Deep Black. The shtick for this particular line is that there is a special applicator that mixes the step one and step two compounds together as you dispense so when you are done, none is wasted. Than and there is even extra,

enough for two applications for those with short hair, and an application and a touch up for longer hair. yeah well that's bull. There wasn't even enough to cover all of my hair and its not even long. the parts that didn't get color ended up looking kind of like highlights but I'm probably going to go back and fix it later.

I give it 4/10.

Comic Con Cosplay

I am super excited for Thursday and Friday to roll around. Why? BECAUSE I AM GOING TO TAMPA BAY COMIC CON!!!! YAY!!!!!

I am going with Chris, Katelynn, Tabitha, and maybe Chris’s little sister. Milissa was going to go but for family reasons that I don’t feel it is my place to talk about, can’t anymore. Chris’s sister will get her ticket if all works out. We have a room for the night before the con. Since we areonly going for the first day, we got the room for Thursday so we can be

well rested before we get in the lines early Friday morning. It is my first con and I am ecstatic!!!

Originally I was going to do something simple for my cosplay for the con. I was going to be hipster ariel. I had these cute green pants and a purple top with my red wig and hipster glasses. Just so I would be wearing something but not too complicated. I want to be able to move around and I don’t know what to really expect because this is my first con after all.

But I have always wanted to cosplay female InuYasha and I wanted it to be the first thing I ever cosplay at a con….. so of course now that’s its crunch time I decided to sew together a kimono and complete the cosplay, last second, with only basically 4 days to complete it with a nonexistent budget. I managed to get my hands on a good amount of fabric and I already have the wig and ears. I can make claws from my acrylic nail kits and I saw a tutorial on YouTube on how to make fangs with plastic nails as well. I can probably manage it. Hopefully.

The biggest thing is figuring out the design. I have been contemplating the design for years now and I have to decide RIGHT NOW. There is the design where its just inuyasha’s kimono but longer so it’s a short dress. Theres the design I found on tumblr that is more girly with orange accents. Then there is battle InuYasha where I would be wearing hakama pants and

I would wrap my torso with bandages and fake blood. I had decided on the longer original design but with some personal additions and accents. I am just making the basic kimono now. I made his necklace yesterday out of a leather cord, wood beads and baking clay. I just have to paint it now.

 The kimono is rather plain but I am considering stitching random lines in yellow and orange on the obi which is red. This way it kind of pays homage to a lot of fan art where grown up InuYasha has armor and flame printed sashes.

Its till a work in progress but I have gotten a lot done already. I worked for over 12 hours straight since 5 something yesterday and just stopped about 2 hours ago x.x

I will keep posting updates XD

OOTD 7/27/14

I think this outfit is super cute with the stripes and platform flip flops. I ended up painting my nails to match my shoes but of course it was after I took the pictures. I feel that the curly hair really ties the summer look together.

My Cosmetology Kit

When I got back home to Chris’s dads, I opened up the box and took out all the pieces that were in there and took inventory. There was A LOT in there. Including three heads. They have really wide eyes and its super creepy and they came with names. There is Zoey with plain longer brown hair, Naomi with an afro, and Tammie who has her hair separated into four sections and each section is a different color for color treatment training. Chris and I hid them around the house to scare his parents. Tammie was in the fridge, Naomi was in their bed and Zoey was in their bathroom. When Kim came home she came in the door and went right to their room to go to sleep and we didn’t hear anything and she hasn’t come out yet so I don’t think we scared her. We got his dad with Tammie though.

There was so much in the kit; my only complaint was the kit was a duffle bag. My friend Milissa had a hard plastic rolling case for hers when she was in school. Mine is too bulky and too easy to be smushed with all my new electricals inside. The kit came with a new hair dryer, a curling iron, a flat iron, a set of electric clippers, a clamp for the heads, a scissor set, a few capes, a bunch of brushes, combs, clips, piks, dying tools and tools for mani and pedi classes. 

School Shopping

Today I met with Mama Boots at IRSC to get all of my school supplies and my uniform. We ended up getting the supplies, the scrubs, the polo, my parking decal, my ID and I got a free IRSC shirt (GO PIONEERS!!!)

When I was on my way to meet mom at the school, the sky was clear here in Port St. Lucie. But between here and Fort Pierce, I hit a wall of rain on I95. I happened to be wearing flats today so I was supper happy that I always keep a pair of boots in my car for those rainy days that take you by surprise. Being a Floridian, it’s a good idea to be prepared for sudden rain considering how insane the weather patterns are here. "If you don’t like the weather, just wait five minutes" is practically the state's motto lol. Most people keep sneakers in their car if anything but why not be fashionable about it? My only real complaint about having to change shoes is that I didn’t have any socks so it felt icky sticky wearing the boots.  But seriously rain, what do?

After me and mom got to the school, I had to try on different size uniforms for half an hour just so Mama

Boots could rest easy knowing everything fit properly. For the Cosmetology department at IRSC, students are required to wear black scrub pants with either a black school scrub top with the Cosmetology logo on

the left side of the chest or a black polo with the same thing and a giant logo in the back. The polo made me feel like I was wearing a bowling shirt with the collar and design on the back. I’m just not used to collared shirts like that, but I love it still. =) and the whole time we were there we were entertaining the school store cashier with our usual back and forth and with mom making a mess of the place. And before we left the store, we picked up the incredible expensive Cosmetology kit. The box was huge and a pain to carry around.

After we left the book store I wanted to stop at the school merch shop next door and price check for a school hoodie. I have two shirts and a lanyard from AI and it’s depressing to have merch from a school I can’t attend anymore so I want merch from my new school. I saw a nice $20 hoodie and a cute pink $10 bag that I want but I have no money DX And while we were in there I found a section of imported makeup and such

from Boots! I know it sounds stupid but I’m just exited that I have access to it because I see bloggers like Zoe from Zoella and Rhiannon from Fashion Rocks My Socks talk about shopping there. I know it’s just the equivalent of our Walgreens here but still XD

And before we left the merch shop the cashier told us I could pick up my student ID and we were off to student services from there. They took a few pictures before I settled for one to use on my ID. The lighting wasn’t exactly flattering in there but I made do and I am rather happy now that I have my ID hanging from my rear view mirror in my car. And while we were there, I got my parking sticker and noticed a flyer for a free school shirt for students to pick up at the merch store if you have paid for your classes… WHICH MOM HAD. I was soooo happy to be able to walk away with merch from my school. Now I have my new shirt, my Cosmetology polo, and my Cosmetology scrub shirt. YAY!!!

After that Mama Boots and I just went to a nice lunch in down town Fort Pierce at Rinelli’s Yellow Tail Restaurant. It was nice besides the fact the speaker that was filling the restaurant with music was on its way out. It kept going mute and it was really annoying but the food was good and the laughs were great as always with Mama Boots. It was a great day.

THANK YOU MAMA BOOTS FOR THE SUPPLYS, LUNCH AND FOR THE GREAT DAY!

Simple

"There is beauty in simplicity."
What a wonderful phrase. And in the spirit of my fortune cookie, I am enjoying the simple things tonight and I'm going to just blog and catch up on some manga and fanfiction rather than work tonight as I enjoy my chicken pot pie and sweet iced tea. =)

Lazy I know, but I feel I deserve it . X3

Beach Hair

So I tried a new product today. "Not Your Mother's" brand "Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray". And so far I am absolutely loving it. It is infused with real dead sea salt and sea kelp. The spray is easy to use, smells great, and can be used on wet or dry hair, with or without a blow dryer. My hair hasn't fallen flat all day and is still touchable soft, even with the visible piecey texture. I give it a 10/10

(Ignore my icky face and just look at my hair please)

School Costs

Got my letter today that I was officially accepted into the cosmetology program at IRSC.... The letter came with a list of things I will need. The price of the text book is $75 from the school bookstore x.x I found a cheaper one online and I found one I can rent. Looks like there is no ebook. And then I need black scrubs and a school cosmetology program polo. And the biggest thing I will need is a cosmetology kit. You know, the box full of styling and cutting supplies? I couldn't find a price from the school but online it can break $300 DX
 My mom is going to have a heart attack x.x

MOVED!!!!!!!

Chris and I moved yesterday. We have moved into his dads house for the next few months until we can save enough for our own place and for Chris to get a new car. It was tough, especially considering that I am still technically recovering from my surgery back in April. I did not have a speedy recovery and because of the time it took to heal, I haven’t done much moving around and it made moving really hard to do. We rented a van and Chris’s father helped us. Chris and I filled our cars up and took two trips each between the apartment and his dads house. We still have a crap ton at the old apartment but we will be all moved in soon. =) Oliver is staying with us until Friday or Saturday, and then he will be staying with my mom until we get our own place. He has to stay on the patio for now and comes in with us at night. he has been taking it well so far but I don’t like it much =(

Packing X.x

My boyfriend Chris and I are moving to the next town over to stay with his family for a while until we can get our own apartment. We WERE going to move next weekend but now we are moving Tuesday..... and we havent started packing yet. I just packed a tiny bit but we have alot of work to do. If there is one thing I learned when moving from home, it is that what may seem like not that much stuff, turns into mountains to pack. We are going to need more boxes x.x

Slurpee Day!!!! XD

Today is July 11th which is 7/11 day!!! YAY!!! FREE SLERPEES!!! From 11am to 7pm, You can come in and get a free small Slurpee. I told my mom about it and before I left her house for home we made sure to get a cup. She got Wild Cherry while I tried the Pina Colada. Absolutely delicious. Living in Florida where the summer gets hot as balls, its nice to have a yummyful Slurpee to beat the heat. =P

Blue Wig

Milissa sent me selfies she took wearing my blue wig the other day. She looks fabulous and its the exact color she always wanted XD Just look at this lovely lady X3

Milissa's Birthday

Soooooooo, Milissa's birthday was on Sunday the 6th. I got her Maybelline Eye Studio Master Drama Eyeliner and she loved it XD She also put on my blue wig but sadly I didn’t think to snap a photo of her wearing it DX

(from the left: Milissa, Milissa's Mommy, Katelynn, Tabitha, Me, and David in the back)

Our friend Katelynn was there too when I got there and the three of us and Milissa’s mommy chatted till we went to go get pizza and by the time we got back Tabitha was there. Soon after David showed up and brought Milissa her “present” which we immediately cracked open! 

The 6 of us danced and drank and goofed off in the kitchen all night. 

After dinner Milissa’s sister drove us to go get snacks then we lit off a few smoke bombs and sparklers I brought that were left over from the 4th.  

Everyone left but I slept We were exhausted because it was a super fun night. Ended up falling asleep to The Nanny XD
