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 =(
