Sunday Thoughts

First off, a photo update on what hair color I've finally decided on! PURPLE!!! 

Thank you Instagram for your fabulously addicting photo editing :)

Yay! My favorite tattoo even made it into this picture :) My cute little bow on my finger!

Hanging out on my back deck enjoy some sunshine!

So after a handful of colors, this is the one I am most in love with. Sadly it is only a semi-permanent hair dye, so who knows what color its going to be once I have to touch it up. Oh well, it's new and exciting. Can't seem to get enough of the weird looks my Baba gives me every time she sees just how purple it is ha ha. :)

As for my Sunday Thoughts.. well.. really all my thoughts from this past weekend:

For starters I spend my weekend completely sober and relaxed the entire time which for a fact has never happened yet this summer... and I wonder where all my money has gone.... yuck. Drinking & partying is so much fun but now that I look back, none of it was worth it. Besides sucking my bank account dry, my extracurricular activities has also sucked all my enthusiasm of completing a marathon this summer. Instead of spending my time training I drank tons of empty calories that lead to forgetting the best parts of summer with people I love. Lose-Lose. Which is why it's never too late to restart my training & saving money even if it is just for myself. 

After my first weekend I feel so much better then I have after many previous weekends of this summer. I'm not tired/hungover or rundown and instead I feel more energized and able to conquer my week... kind of.. I'm still a bit intimidated of the position I'll be covering for at work this week but in reality I am only a summer student, It's not like they can expect me to pull a big-time purchasing exec out of my ass. Right? Right! 

Now this all this extra time I decided to let my sister really kick my ass into gear. She has been working hard to get into tip-top shape and I must congratulate her on all her efforts because honestly, she looks super hot. In her mind she still has a lot to work on but even now she is my inspiration to work on my own body. So after a few day of working at her speed I'm verrrry stiff and sore but 5 pounds lighter and a hell of a lot stronger feeling. I'm nervous for what the rest of the summer will bring as she has promised to continue to kick me ass as long I am living at home with her ha ha. Who knows, maybe I'll find a marathon to run in the fall? 

Lots of positives this weekend but also a lot of negatives have landed on my plate. These details are usually the reason why I party so hard because it helps keep them off my mind until they resolve themselves (which they usually do since I worry about EVERYTHING and tend to blow small, easily fixable issues out of proportion until I completely freak myself out about them). Now that I had all weekend to think clearly about my issues I have freaked myself out pretty good, but I've also created plans and back up plans to figure them out. 

Sorry if this is coming off as more as a woe-is-me diary entry tonight but suck it up, this is my blog and I'll write what I want ha ha. 

ISSUES:

Paying for school:

Deadline on Tuesday, $_ _, _ _ _ ._ _ is an amount I do not currently have in my bank account and there is no way I'll be able make that amount on my own. I do have the money but it is currently tied up with my accountant who in the past two months has changed secretaries and in turn has lost my request information to have this money ready and waiting for this deadline. I was able to extend the deadline but only for one week and the money will probably take about two to get here. Soooo that leaves a big of a hiccup for me. The back up plans involve my sisters savings account or my Dedo's education fund that he had set aside for me which both come with HUGE strings attached. Neither of my grandparents agree with me going into the special effects makeup field and believe that I will end up being a homeless bum who begs for money. (Fingers crossed that doesn't ever happen because that would be a very painful "I told you so"conversation with them). 

Next issue is also money related. I have saved very little money this summer and I reallllly don't think I'll have enough to pay for this coming years expenses including gas. Yuck. Which doesn't leave me with very many options. I am going to be working a part-time job while going to school but I don't think even that will be enough to feed my Jeep enough gas to get me to school everyday. So.. reluctantly I've started thinking about selling my dream vehicle and opting for a smaller, more gas efficient car. Probably a Honda Civic since they're not too too ugly. I've never driven a small car before, I'm definitely more of a Jeep/SUV type chick so this option makes me cringe but at this point it doesn't seem like a choice, rather a must if I want to driving to school rather then peddling a bike to school... although that would be the best choice for the environment and my body.. hmm... looks like I'll have to take a closer look at this :) 

DONE! NO MORE WORRYING! I apologize to those of you who have actually read this far because wow, even I'm getting tired of listing to myself but there was good that came from publishing this post. At least for me. It always helps me to write things down. It relaxes me and settles my whirl-wind of thoughts. So now that my thoughts are settled time for some fun!

Top 5 highlights from this weekend!!

5.) Saving $1.00 on my Mio (liquid water enhancer) and every time I use it I reply the stupid-funny commercial in my head. Mmmm the strawberry watermelon flavor is soooo yummy! Especially in club soda!

4.) Having sleep conversations with my sister about our weird dreams and snoring half way through.

3.) Spending time at the beach in the sun with my sister. "Make me brown sun!" - pleas from a white girl (me).

2.) Taking a video-worthy tumble while longboarding behind my jogging sister because of a hilarious joke she told me. All the while some car filled with young girls was driving by, saw the entire fall and were laughing their asses off because of how much of a retard I looked like lol. Then they made a U-turn to see if they could catch me looking like an even bigger goon! Ooooh small town drama. Still surprised that didn't end up on the Internet, I really would have enjoyed that ha ha.

1.) My amazing awkward attempt at working out with my sister. It never failed and didn't matter how hard I tried I just naturally make even the easiest tasks appear super awkward. lol. My sister even videoed us to show me just how awkward I am ha ha. 

Here is the Gem of this post!

There you have it! My amazing weekend!

I hope you all also had an amazing weekend no matter how you spend it :)

Thanks for reading!

Risk Worth Taking

After taking a dive into the whole "ombre" fashion hair trend for the last few months, I decided that it was high time to change it up a bit, add a little more color and shine. Soooo ... thanks again to Pinterest... Here's what I've decided on! :)



So my idea started as peek-a-boos and highlights....

...then I changed my mind and jumped on the idea of having a full head of purple hair!...

... and now after having my sister dye my hair purple over the previous ombre look I had, this is more how it looks! A few touch ups are in order, and with a color like this I'm expecting to be having to do touch ups verrrry often... but it's SO worth it! I just love it! :)

My goal is to achieve this color:

So hopefully by mixing in a bit more of the same purple I have in right now, with a touch of red and a tad of a darker plum purple I can be close to what I want and still save a ton of money by doing it myself!
(with help from my lovely sister of course!)

Battling the Blues

Everyone has those days where all you want to do is stay in bed, tucked away under the covers, in an attempt to escape the world and all its surprises. Since the world never stops spinning, the only thing you're really doing by hiding away is wasting a chance to turn things around.

"Everyday you wait is just another day wasted" - The Dirty Heads

So dammit get your butt out of bed and do something that makes you happy!

Top 5 Things That Would Make Me Happier Right Now:

1.) Swinging in a hammock, even it was tied in within the confined space of my office cubicle.

2.) Polka Dots & Floral Prints

3.) Hugs

4.) Bunnies/Lion Cat (tied)

5.) Daises... preferably the free wild ones that cover the sides of the highway.

Do what makes you happy :)

A Dreamers Dream

For years how I've fantasized about owning my own weird, tall & skinny home. From red doors to exposed brick walls I've contemplated it all. Each and every detail that you would normally think about when buying a home.. only now since I've been planning for roughly the past five years I'm well prepared to pick out the perfect place to call home.

Nothing fancy.
Or too big.

I want it to feel like a home with warm colors and worn out floors. A bright white attic for all my fun crafty moments and a fenced in back yard for my future fox-like puppy to play in. Yes, I cannot wait!

Pinterest has been more then just an amazing waste of time. It has given me an ever-expanding range of ideas starting from DIY projects to full on construction blueprints. Here are just a few images that I've enjoyed so far:

okay... so mayyybe a house in a tree is a bit ridiculous... but regardless it is still amazing, don't you think? :)

Welcome Inside :)

Living Room:

And Now Onto The Bedroom:

Don't Forget The Details!:

OOOh flooding with ideas right now!!

Anyways, Lunch break is over :( Back to work!
