childhood celebrites

The celebrities that I thought were the "shiznit" as a kid! I was at one point or another obsessed with all of these!

Richard Geer - I still love him, what a man.


Leonardo Dicaprio- Titanic. nuff said.


Christina Aguilera- I ADORE her...big fan. I pretty much survived my entire teenage life with her music.


Mark Paul Gosselar- I've had a huge crush on him my entire life.


Aaron Carter- I was entirely too obsessed with him as a teenager...he is sooo not cute now!! its just not right.



Johnathon Taylor Thomas- I remember being crazy about him in kindergarten...


Shania Twain- I cannot stand her music now!


Celine Dion- I just don't know...I really can't listen to her anymore either


Fran Drescher- I always dreamed I would go on Opra and meet Fran. I identified with her nasal voice...haha. I also attribute my fashion sense to her...!

new years resolution

2011 is fast approaching and today I decided my resolution will to be to eat more fruits in place of junk food. My second resolution is to take time and breath every now and again. I know I seem like a laid back person but sometimes I am so on end I can't just relax and soak up what is going on around me. I really need to teach myself to do that this year because I have so many awesome things happening and I don't want them to all fly by before my eyes! So those are my resolutions, what are yours?

beauty blog

I figured I would give you an update on my olive oil skin care regimen. Well since this is only my 2nd week, so I am terribly reluctant to rant and rave over the olive oil right away but so far so good! As we all know throughout the month and every season our skin changes drastically so it is going to take a few months before I am really sold on this. So I have changed up what I am doing. I found that washing my skin with olive oil and then washing it off was really drying my skin out. The olive oil was clinging to my face oil and when I washed it off my face felt so dry. So I switched to washing my face with honey and using olive oil as the moisturizer at night and then during the day washing my face with olive oil and using regular face lotion as my moisturizer and spot moisturize with olive oil (mainly under my nose cause its so dry there). I have also used the same foundation everyday, which doesn't sound like a hard task but I switch between about 5. I have read that it is a good idea to not constantly switch your makeup as that could cause breakouts. I have yet to really see the logic behind that but I am trying it out. I also switched to a MAC powder foundation which is MUCH lighter than the MAC cream foundation I was using.

Old Regimen:
wash with cetaphil
moisturize with clinique
spot treat with clean and clear or burts bees

New Regimen:
heat honey in microwave for 6 seconds. smear on face and leave on for 20 minutes
moisturize with olive oil and leave it on. also smear in hair just for the hell of it haha
spot treat with a mixture of salt and water and leave salt on skin and dab with honey

Ok enough about my skin- seriously you would think I look like a freakin leper by reading this...

My second beauty rave is about this new lipstick I got. In fact I drove allll the way to bury today to buy it because I've been feaning for a new mac shade. seriously i have an illness. Anyhow, I love a great shade of red lipstick. I have in fact become one of those people who wears red lipstick during the daytime but I realize that sometimes its just too much depending on what I am wearing. This shade of red is just perfect. It is a very natural red but still has some pop. It goes on so nice and smooth too. I definitely recommend it for women (or men...whatever floats your boat) with a pale skin tone. It is lovely.




Lastly, I have yet to post a pic of my new hair. IT IS SO SHORT!!! I am really in love with it. And I think Alex is too believe it or not. I was convinced he was a long hair man after this last hair cut but I think he genuinely is digging me with the short hair. I haven't posted a pic of my hair because I have been so sick and every pic I take I just look like death- so of course I am waiting till I am back to good health and you shall see :]

So to some this up, buy some olive oil and honey and with all the money you save on facial care buy a great shade of lipstick to show off your new lovely skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rasc that little uptown cheapskate.

Today poor baby Rasc gets neutered. Sad day at my house for a few reasons- Rasc is the best dog I've ever had and I would be sooo upset if something happens to the little guy. Secondly, Rasc gets so nervous and I am truly the only person in the world that he feels safe around and I am worried once I take him to get his balls chopped he won't trust me :[. The fact of the matter is it must be done. It would be cruel to let Ruby have more puppies. Physically this has been a huge toll on her fragile little body.
Pray for baby Rasc.

Secondly, After Rasc comes back from ball surgery, I am going to bury to sell my clothes to uptown cheapskate. Its this new store in Salisbury and they sell secondhand clothes- my fav! I have taken my stuff there before and they give you alot. I am expecting to get atleast a $100 for the bag I am taking today. It has a $200 pair of true religion jeans in there that just don't fit anymore. Also bringing in some Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and pretty much my entire collection of Hollister. I can't stand Hollister's clothes! They are not made for a woman with a butt at all!! We actually studied them in one of my classes and their target age is like 12-20 or something ridiculous so thats another good reason to get rid of them haha. And lastly I am taking in five Vera Bradley bags that I bought cheap off ebay. I could probably sell them on ebay and get more but I like the instant cash factor at Uptown Cheapskate.

Well Have a lovely day!

PS. I AM DONE WITH ALL MY CLASSES AND EXAMMMMMMMS

ramblings

This has been such a weird week for me. I can't get over the fact I am done with school friday. Its just like, then what?! HIRE ME?! haha Well I do have a few prospects if nothing in my "field' (whatever the hell that is) doesn't line up. Nicole said she would hire me at her store if I feel like driving an hour...and Diane at Cato said if I didn't have a job by May I could potentially take a 2nd assistant position if hers leaves. I am worried about the Cato thing because I have been 2nd assistant there before and LOVED it. Like I would have stayed there for years if things lined up right. I got a good raise and was saving up tons of money. Definitely the most money I had ever had before. But, I really think I am worth more than a job at Cato.

When I first started college I was torn between fashion major and art. In the longrun I decided fashion would be more profitable and I was more passionate about that. Now in hindsight I wish I knew how much I loved housing and interior design. I totally would have picked something related to that- and my major actually does cover housing so I guess It wasn't a total loss. My degree is actually in "human ecology" those 2 words leave alot of room for guessing haha. Anyhow, quite frankly I don't even know what I am rambling about- I think my cold medicine is getting to me. Ok have a great day!

ah damn

I've been sick and haven't slept in 2 days! Its such a catch twenty two because I haven't been able to sleep because Im up every hour having to pee and im up every hour having to pee because I drink so much tea throughout the day trying to get rid of my sore throat! I went to walmart last night looking for some therapeutic bubble bath to help with my cold and I ran across this stuff that proved to be quite wonderful.

It was very foamy and smell fantastic. It has Eucalyptus, rosehips, and chamomile. Anyhow It is comparable to the line of therapeutic stuff at bath and body works and this bottle was only 5 bucks. Much better price than bath and body works.

Anyhow pray for me I am hoping to be better before my graduation and celebration festivities :]
