I'm ready 2010!!

Me and my hubby are going out with some friends tonight. we all rented a house and are just going to chill tonight and go snowboarding tomorrow!! should be a good time! I'm excited for the new year...lets hope this one doesn't go by as fast as 2009!!! Seriously, it just flew by!! I was trying to think of some new years resolutions, and this is what i came up with!

--EAT and STAY healthy. I don't want to lose weight just put healthier things into my body. and exercise more....when i can (I'm not going to make some ridiculous goal like "work out 3 times a week...because i KNOW that wont happen! haha)

--Pass out more business cards. Even if i feel stupid sometimes...I will do it anyways!

--That leads to...build a larger clientele! Now that I have switched salons, I have to work on this again!! its alot of work...I have an amount of $$ in my head that I want to make every month... so that is my goal!

that's about it. those are things I really do think iIcan do. I hate when I make really unrealistic goals for myself that wont happen.

I wouldn't say I'm the best at keeping my new years resolution though. I should just make a resolution NOT to make a resolution! but that would mean i didn't meet my resolution because i made one...and that would defeat the whole purpose, and again...I would be a failure! haha...deep!

snowMOboarding....

If you fallow my twitter you all know I went snowboarding today!! It was my first time ever on a mountain, and I have pretty much lived next door to one my whole life. Sad I know. It was alot of fun, but OMG my bum is SO freakin sore! I got it down pretty quickly, but as soon as I started to go fast I would get scared because I knew I would either crash....or kind of slow down then crash...so either way it would hurt. I need to get more confidence, especially in the slowing down, stopping, and turning department. LOL. Also, getting of the ski lifts was terrifying! I didn't know what to expect, and the first time I crashed so freakin hard, and I think that's why my tail bone hurts so bad! after that first fall off the lift i was scared every time, but I started to get it at the end, and I didn't even crash when I would get off! Snowboarding is definitely one of those confidence sports... where if you have any hesitation you will probably fall... you cant half ass it, you have to commit to any move you do. Whenever I try something new, I always want to be the best at it right away...and I get frustrated when I'm not. ugh.... poor husband...he was a good teacher though...not ONE fight! haha
I WILL get better, I just need practice....and a nice bath and massage! haha. Oh well, at least I had stylish gear and looked likeI knew what I was doing right? :-P

Christmas Goodies

First of all I hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
Christmas has come and gone SO fast this year, its just crazy to me!! I feel like I didn't get to do half the things i usually do this time of year! Part of it is because my grandma had a HUGE surgery 2 days before x-mas, which was a major stress on all of us! She gets to go home tomorrow!!! We pretty much couldn't focus on anything but getting her into and out of the hospital healthy and happy!
Any who... I decided to post a blog about some makeup/fashion related things I got for Christmas this year! I have such a wonderful family and wonderful husband, and I feel blessed every single day! Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday, I just love spending it with everyone I love. I cant believe it has passed already!

-white beaded beret
-coastal scents 88 warm palette

OOTD and blogging




Just wanted to do a little update on my outfit of the day! :) i will still do them on YouTube, but here and there i will also do them on here! :) I like this outfit, it was SUPER comfy, by made me look a little bit boxy and wider than i actually am! ha ha. oh well... :-P
Its been a very slow day today. I don't mind a slow day here and there...but switching salons recently, I have been waiting for my clients to make the switch. Also, being that I have never leased a station at a salon, its very new for me. I have only been living in this city for a little over a year, so I'm still building my clientele. Its always hard starting out in a new place...but it will be worth it soon! Although, soon I will be doing some free lance make up for a little makeup store called Dulce vita (similar to a small version of sephora)! Which makes me SO happy! i have always loved makeup...and living in Portland, i worked on so many different sets and runway shows, so moving here I had to give that part of me up. So hopefully that falls together, and things go smoothly there!
Other than that, I have been x-mas shopping my booty off! I'm finally done!! YAY! I'm so excited for Christmas...i just love buying things for people....sometimes i go a little over board on people. ha ha.
Alright ladies...
I'm out!
Love ya!

future makeup looks??

So, i have been thinking about some celeb make-up tutorials that i can do, and i freaking LOVE these looks!! especially Gwen Stefani's!! although i am a HUGE fan of Gwen stefani so anything she wears i love. ha ha...i think i am even in the no doubt international fan club, and everything. its my secret obsession! :) ha ha. so what do you guys think of these looks?? any of them catch your eye more than the others?

So you guys are probably wondering why a uploaded a pic of Stephanie Pratt! well....its not because of her...its because of her AMAZING shoes! i want them SO bad, but i cant figure out what brand they are. they look like converse, but they AREN'T...trust me, i e-mailed the company and everything. If anyone has a clue...please let me know! i saw Ellen page wearing a pair as well...but they were black! I'm praying they are at least reasonably priced and not hella $$! because i want them! :)


i posted a new make up look on my blog today! its a golden Christmas look...however...in this photo it looks golden orange...which is weird, cause it didn't look like that in person. either way though, its Gorg!
I'm going to upload a new years smoky eye video soon...so look out for that. i actually have a few good video ideas, but i want to wait until after x-mas because i know I'm getting some things that i will need to make them! my makeup tutorials are going to be so much better! Not only that...my husband MADE me open my x-mas present early saying "YOU HAVE to open it before x-mas...you are going to need it...its for snowboarding!!" and all these other untrue things. he is so bad, he can NEVER wait until x-mas...he gets SO excited. So of course i fell for it, and i opened the gift! surprise surprise! it was an HD video camera!! :) although i cant use it to make videos yet because i need to buy a new editing program...it doesn't work with my old one. but OMG, you are going to see every pimple on my face! ha ha..
any who.... thanks lovelies for reading and watching! xoxoxoxoxoxo
