and by then...it's like seven fifteen

Via.

Once upon a time I got really sick and had to move back home to be babied for a while... like eight months.

 Now I am mostly better, but find myself with no job, and basically no life until I get to move back to school later this month. 

So in the meantime 

 I'll read a book

Or maybe two or three

I'll add a few new paintings

To my gallery

I'll play guitar and knit and cook

And basically

Just wonder, when will my life begin..

and ... watch Disney movies in Spanish to try to pretend those three years taught me something

 I could basically be Rapunzel.. except you know the whole having hair and Zachary Levi thing . dang.

Via.

Instead

Change yourself, they said.

People will like you better.

But I liked myself

So I dyed my hair red.

Promises of jobs and men,

A life of ordinary days.

But I have my own ordinary

So I dyed my hair crimson.

You and I may not have met,

Just glances across the room

But I have my own eyes

So I dyed my hair scarlet.

Dollar Store Spoils

I took a trip to my local dollar store today, this one in particular is my favorite, its kinda more like a surplus store type deal rather than a cheap toy place. 

 Overly large lacy Hair bow. Love.

New eye shadow pallets

Fun new nail polish colors

Those sunglasses that clip on glasses

My last pair got lost.. and I spent ten bucks on them. these are the exact same ones.. a dollar. happy girl

and..a fanny pack. Hey now. They are very functional don't mock. I have been wishing for one for my walks etc.

Yay for Thrifty new stuff!

Childhood Dreams.

You know. I have always wanted stop sign red hair. Based off this lady:

I may have been a little obsessed. I still am. Really truly. That hair is superb.
Anyways. Now that I am a big girl I have the opportunity to do an Ariel.
Red goes the hair.

This face is extremely awkward. Excuse it.

Yay for childhood dreams coming true. If only I can figure out a way to pause time, become a mermaid and ice skate, then my childhood will be complete.

Keira Knightly Milkmaid Braid

My hair is at a super awkward stage of life, as I am trying to decide to chop it into a pixie again or grow it. So I got really excited when I came across pictures of this gorgeous milkmaid updo. My hair is totally long enough for that! 

Super duper easy, and really cute! It can be altered slightly to work for almost all lengths of hair, and would be a fabulous second day hair style.

Nifty Little Things: CHI Silk Infusion

CHI
Silk Infusion

This is my favorite hair product of all time! My hair is naturally curly and I strongly dislike it, so my hair is no stranger to the flat iron and hair damage. But this product has made all the difference!

The Benefits:

• Protects your hair from heat damage.
• The smell is unbelievable. No joke, people have caught me smelling my hair after using this product.
• You hair is incredibly soft after using.
• It creates that silky shine that every girl loves without making the hair look greasy.
• Reduces the frizz! 

Warnings:

• Don't use too much (a dime size will do) or else your hair will look greasy.
• It's a little pricey but it actually works and it is worth the little extra.

I use CHI Silk Infusion anytime I apply heat to my hair. Even if I use heat products on my hair twice a day (like a blow dryer and a flat iron) I use it both times. The 2nd time is a little less, but doing that insures protection. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to have their hair be healthier this summer and the seasons that follow.  

Brave: A movie review.

I went to an early showing of Disney and Pixars Brave on Wednesday. 

It was a way cute show. I loved the short at the beginning, and the movie itself definitely had it's moments. 

It was very funny, however it was fairly predictable. Ok it's a fairy tale so we are all supposed to know how it ends anyway I guess.

All in All, Cutes show, and Merida's hair is fabulous. Really. there should be a fan club. 

Check it out! it comes to theaters this Friday
