Pixie hair, FTW!

So most people who know me in person, know me for my amazingly BIG hair.  It's long, its curly, and its BIG! And i love it to be quite honest! but since i have been on this new fitness kick its been decided that i want cute short, extremely short, pixie hair!

Now, I've been growing it out for about two years, maybe more, and it breaks my heart to do it because i love being able to scrunch it up with my hands, pin my crazy fringe back and head out the door! But its also for a good cause.  You see i am planning on donating it, to which organization I'm not sure yet and I'm not going to do it for another 4 or 5 months... but you see i want to lose a good amount of weight so that i don't look like a fat chick with short hair.  Cause then the hair just isn't as cute =[.  And since my birthday just happens to be coming up in about 5 months i figured it would be perfect to do it around then!

Here are some examples of how i MIGHT cut my hair!

 This one might be a bit much but I'm just daydreaming right now anyways!

 Love the long front of this one! but since my hair is indeed curly i don't thing the long front and short back would go so well.

 Just simply adore this one! wish i was blond!

this is more than likely what i will end up getting since it will go well with the curl in my hair!

I love front bangs and was thinking of throwing those in.. also i like how long the layers are in this cut.



Well, i guess we will have to wait and see! Still gotta look up the organizations and all that jazz.... but till then I'm more than excited!!

Life's little pleasures.

Sunday morning I woke up extra early to drive all the way to the Mall to attend a meeting at my (a few times a month) job at Bath & Body Works.  It was our "spring" meeting and the whole staff needed to attend.  We learned a few new things and watched some impossibly low volume videos on the correct and incorrect ways to do certain things in the store. 

Once the meeting was over then they handed out a small shopping back to everyone and then let us pick as many items we wanted out of four big boxes.  Then once we had filled up our bags we only had to pay 5 bucks for the WHOLE thing.  And they gave us a few new things from the newer line as well! I calculated over 200 dollars worth of items in my small shopping bag >.<!!!

I was so excited i decided to take pictures and blog about it, so, here we go!

Let's hear it for life's little pleasures!

Chester.

Chester is my 8 month old Mini Schnauzer.  He is wonderful! he's terrified of men and when hears ones voice starts barking like crazy, he eats whatever he can find, and he learned how to give five with Cheetos.

I got him in early November to keep my Luna my Yorkie company.  Actually no, my ex asked me to watch him because he was the runt of the litter and the other puppies wouldn't let him eat.  You see he intended on keeping him so as soon as he found the others homes he would take him back.  Well, i broke up with him early December and he never came back for him and when i asked if he would he replied no, that he was moving to Kansas and that i would have to find him a home elsewhere.  Cough... douche-bag cough.  

Anyways i love Chester and today he turned 8 months, he snores, loves being held and collapses as soon as we come home from a walk.  I love my puppies and wouldn't give them up for the entire world in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Pocket.

Heres to you stinkyton! 

Endurance, endurance, Pride and Prejudice.

Today is Friday! and I'm in love! Well... not really but id much rather have it this way to be honest.  Being in love means worrying about the other person more than you do about yourself and i am not down for that right now. 

Anyways, this morning has been an eventful one! I've already cleaned the kitchen, living room, my bed room, started on my laundry AND I've washed my car.  Take that dad! And i still plan on giving my dogs baths, doing my toes/nails and doing the reading assignment for class tonight. I'm feeling good about keeping myself so busy lately.

I also said that i wanted to begin working on my fitness and so far Ive been doing amazingly! I drink nothing but water (except for past Sunday when i had a soda =[ ) and i try walking 2 miles at least 3 times a week and then i do a little bit of aerobics and such every other night.  I'm already fitting into my "skinny" jeans.  Since Ive been doing so well, i reward myself by watching or reading Pride and Prejudice to my hearts desire!

That reminds me, last week, on that dreadful Sunday actually, i received a package in the mail from one of my cousins, she had told me before that she purchased a used copy of Persuasion for me so i figured that's what it was.  Well, indeed it was but it was not alone in that snug package! she included a Pride and Prejudice DVD! Ive been wanting it for years and years and Ive just never seen it anywhere when i have the money or i just cant afford it when i do see it somewhere.  Anyways, now i have it! and I'm so excited! I'm working on a thank you gift now and I'm hoping she likes it! >.<

Well, I'm off as my sister has finished her shower and left the bathroom open for operation UN-stink puppies.

Always truly yours.

5 of my favorite things of the moment.

Every girl has certain "Go-To" items that keep smiles on their faces.  Some are simple and everyday things and others are more complicated and special to their unique personalities, mine just happen to be a mixture of both. 

Here are 5 of my most favorite things of the moment.

1. Bath & Body Works, Black Raspberry Vanilla body cream.  When i was flying back from a Alabama last January, the girl that was sitting next to me smelled amazing! we chatted the whole way back home to California and when i asked her what scent she was wearing she pulled out this. 

 2. One of my most favorite magazines ever! filled with great articles about music, books, art, fashion and more!

3. Something else that i cant stop going back to is this wonderful online shop called Etsy.  It features amazing handmade items as well as one of a kind vintage finds! I highly recommend it! http://www.etsy.com/

4.  Johnson's & Johnson's makes baby lotions and soaps right? well I'm no baby but I am addicted to their Melt Away Stress Lavender Lotion!!! it works miracles! I love taking a nice long shower, putting some of this lotion on and then slipping into romance filled dreams.

5.  Since we are now in October, my favorite month of the year! its appropriate to adore all things Halloween! Well.. i feel a need to confess, i love Halloween things ALL  YEAR ROUND! they are present in my home and heart always but this  year i got this great Halloween Fleece blanket from my sister for my birthday! i don't have a picture of it but its adorable! anyways, here is to Halloween!. 

Well, here they are! my five favorite things of the moment! what are some of yours?

One of a Kind Fall.

Today is October the fourth, the air is crisp and beckoning to swoop long strands of dark hair into  your pale face.  Yes, fall has returned! and with it it has brought smiling frosty faces and warm embraces.

In the part of California I live in, its been nothing but hot and sticky, needless to say this cool weather is very welcomed from my behalf.  All I have been able to think of is how within a matter of weeks.. maybe days.. i will be able to wear scarfs, coats, hoodies, boots, beanies, gloves pretty much every warm comfy accessory you could imagine.

I predict that this Fall we will see a lot of heavy coats in dark warm colors like browns and maybe some different variations of reds and blues. Long dramatic coats and over sized, off the shoulder sweaters with feminine cuts and shapes as well as warm comfy tights and leggings is a must.  

Now, all of these items can be found on wonderful www.Etsy.com, I highly recommend Etsy for shopping for one of  a kind items! I myself am a Etsy Addict!
