Pixie Dust!

No this post has nothing to do with winged miniature woman.It does have to do with my new pixie haircut! I love it! I was a bit unsure at first but I wasn't very happy with my grown out (forgive me for saying this) "mullet" haircut so I decided its time for something new. I remember seeing a very beautiful girl named Emma Watson get her hair cropped so I thought if she can look absolutely gorgeous with boy hair so can I! So I went off to Great Clips (never going there again by the way) and got it cut. When I first saw it I hated it with a crazy passion and wanted to sue the hairdresser for not making me look as beautiful as Emma Watson but I think its grown a bit on me. So that's that!

Ready for RED!

Red hair has become so popular lately and I love! The color is so vibrant and warm that I think I'm going to dye my hair soon. It's quite a big step for me, well not really. I've dyed many a times but never anything as vibrant and this time instead of the box i think i'm going to sacrifice my money to actually get it salon dyed! Wish me luck!!! Oh and an update I actually did the shaved haircut i was in love a few months back. See? Taking risk is a  good thing.

What beauty risk are you ready to take? xoxo

Addiction #1: Relaxation Videos

Hey guys! Well I have trouble sleeping sometimes just like anyone else mostly because I wake up at 5:50 and don't hit the hay till 11 or 12! Awhile ago I stumbled upon something interesting on YouTube.com quite a bit of people make these videos called "whisper videos" where people record themselves whispering about really random things like makeup, video games, favorite foods some are even scripted as relaxation videos. So I've actually made it a habit of taking daily naps while listening to these videos, sometimes I'm not even sleepy and they'll knock me out! My favorite whisperer is a Turkish woman located in England called WhisperCrystal. She has a very relaxing voice and accent plus I like the style of her videos. She has videos where she whispers relaxing things and "softly spoken" videos that are kind of role play style where she plays as a yoga instructor, flight attendant, massage therapists etc. Which are very relaxing and put me in that situation which is amazing! So kudos to her! If you guys ever have trouble sleeping check out her videos or any other whisperers like Sound Coma, CrisperWhisper, WhisperPrincess. I know it sounds weird but check it out regardless! :)

What's your favorite thing to do on YouTube?

Chant#5: I Shaved My Head

This title is a bit deceiving because I only shaved half my head ;) Well on someone else's blog post I saw that she had posted how much she wanted a certain half shaved hairstyle but she didn't think it would look well. So be the "dare devil" that I am (sarcasm is being used heavily!) I said to myself that since I thought the hairstyle was pretty darn cool that I'll take the plung and go to the hair salon tomorrow and ask them to shave my head! Now here is the funny thing I walked into Great Clips a little uneasy therefore I didn't bring up the whole shaving thing up too early into my cut but when I did all hell broke loose! The nice young blonde hairdresser I had scrunched her face and quickly left me to "ask about it" to another blonde hairdresser ,who was very forward, looked at the photo and said "Are you serious?" and lectured me about how its half of my head, I'm losing a lot of hair and all the cons I suppose which made me rethink my whole idea. When it came down to the shaving part I had four hairdressers surrounding me giving the girl chopping my locks all kinds of advice but she managed to do it all by herself and now I have a shaved head that I love!!! Yup I said it. Its edgy and fresh. Great for a new school year in my opinion!
Here's the photo that left the Great Clips employees baffled!

And some other photos of some beautiful models with this cut :D

So share with me any crazy hairstyles you've had! Did you hate it or love it?
I dare you to go out and do something like this! Haha.

Chant #4: Plans for New School Year!

I've gone through eleven school years before in my life but this new School Year is going to be quite different. I have been planning since last year to start taking college classes at the community college near my high school so I can graduate by junior year :D So this fall I'm taking college level English. I've always been pretty skilled at language arts so it'll be a piece of cake (I hope).
Something else that's new is the schedule change. The dreaded schedule change... I was used to having four and hour and a half long classes in one day. I liked it because it gave me a chance to do homework and the such but now according to my counselor because of low tests scores the schedule is now 7 fifty minute classes!!! Hell no! That means MORE homework and LESS time to work on it in class. Which also means less time for sports, free time, hanging out and excersice. :(
Speaking of sports guess who's is trying out for cross country this year? This gal! Or cheerleading...but then again that sport seems more challenging therefore if I do a bad job the others on my team might become bitches. I used to run all the time! Almost everyday! But alas I've lost that habit so I'm hoping this helps me getting my running feet back :) Truthfully I'm really nervous for it. Teenagers are so mean! I hope they don't make fun of me for not being so great. I REALLY hope I do well.
Another change this year is something that I've noticed for awhile but haven't dubbed as a serious problem till after my trip to the doctor two weeks ago. My weight has gone from 130lbs to 155lbs since I relocated. :( So a new goal for this year is to lose weight. My goal is 130 again. I've changed to a vegetarian diet and try to excersice everyday. So soon I might see results.
My last big change is I'm trying to expand my friend circle! I NEED to! Desperately! I haven't made many because I'm a pretty shy person and my personality around new people comes off as detached but I'm really trying to change that! This year I'm going to be someday :)

So those were my "new school year goals" ha! Wish me luck with all these!!!
Do you have any goals? Share with me!

Chant #3: Summer Fashion

Hello! So I took the time to throw a couple of pieces of clothing that I don't really wear anymore together into great summer outfits that I would enjoying wearing in the midst of this heat. I only came up with 3 outfits since my clothes may not suit other individuals very well but I think I did a good job making outfits that can be pleasing to your eyes as well. So here we go!

Outfit #1
Okay so the first look is kind of an artsy throwback of the 1950s. A high waisted ruffled black and beige polka dot skirt paired with a denim vest buttoned up as a top and crocodile heeled shoes. I like this for summer because it looks really fun and free. I imagine and artistic sort of person to wear something like this. The denim vest has this worn in edgy look thats softened by the girlish skirt and proper like shoes. I love it because since the vest hits at the waist it makes it look nice and tiny and I'm not showing off too much skin because the skirt goes up to right where the vest ends. Since the shoes are a neutral color I thought it blends in quite well with the rest and it adds a touch more sweetness. As for accessories a straw fedora pulls all the pieces together.

 Very artsy.

 Edgy and worn in.

 Brown and crocodile.

Simple heel.

Perfect accessory. 

Outfit #2
This outfit is a bit more sophisticated. A ruffled top with beige cargo shorts and red wedge heels. I imagine this outfit to be worn for an evening out on the town when you don't want to dress up intensely but still want some sophistication and comfort. I kept it on the sweeter side with the white ruffle top it has a tiny bit of detail that didn't catch on the photos though, the cargo shorts are really simple they bring more casualness to the outfit and look a lot fresher than black shorts plus the tie when made into s bow (as shown) keeps it sweet. The red heels though are what make it ready for a night on the town. Wedges when in a solid color all over look very modern and fun. Plus with another red accent put the outfit in place.

 Evening worthy?

 Sweet ruffles.

 Modern wedge.

 Fun bright color.

 Necklace wrapped into a bracelet. 

Crisp cargo shorts.

Outfit #3

This is more of a beach cover up outfit. It happens to be more on the laid back urban side. I thought that the best way to wear a swimsuit a revealing cut out swimsuit out of the water would be to pair it with some baggy (but not too baggy) rolled up sweats and some shiny sandals so it's not so hobo-ish :-) The sweats in the photo are cotton but I suggest using ones made of sweat resistant material so its not so hot. I think the sweats and the swimsuit balance each other out quite well and the sandals keep them from clashing too much.

 How peculiar?

 Colorful swimsuit with soft grey sweats.

Some bling for this outfit. 

Not entirely flat.

So thats it you guys! I hope this inspires some cool outfit of your own. This was pretty fun, I might make more of these kinds of posts. So stay tuned! Leave a comment below of which outfit you liked (or disliked) the most. Your opinions are greatly appreciated. Xoxo  

Chan t#2: My Day At The Zoo

           I went to the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary today! It was my first time getting to see wild animals that close up before and it was great. The weather was warm but not too hot especially because I was wearing a breezy dress. Plus the place wasn't packed with people either! I really enjoyed myself too. The first animals I saw were two medium sized monkeys (not sure about the type) and then I traveled on towards a cage of four feral cats which made me squeals! I ♥ cats. I saw more animals like foxes, hybrid wolves (I didn't know those existed!), bobcats (one only had 3 legs), golden eagles, black bears, raccoons, coyotes, wolves, squirrels, owls, deer, mountain lions and tigers. Unfortunately I didn't get to take pictures of all of the animals I saw but I got it all up in my brain which is the most important. My favorite animals were the foxes because they were so energetic and look really happy even though they were sharing a cage. I really wanted to see tigers before I got there but the two tigers at the sanctuary, Pouncer and Misty, were very sleepy tigers. They didn't let anyone wake them from their slumber. Lazy cats. ^_^ Lucky for us they woke up a bit before we decided to leave. The place looked very clean and I think all the animals looked taken care of. I did a lot of walking around too. I loved seeing all those animals. It was so cute seeing the animals sleep and be cozy. I hope I get to go see a bigger zoo with more animals someday but I'm grateful for this visit. What animals would you like to see at a zoo? Leave a comment! xoxo
