learn something

 Father daughter(s) time rocks ! and so does prepping for flower potting

Silly:

dodge ball is way fun !!

symphony bars are evil and i love them

gardening is not and old lady hobby

when making sconces remember to read the recipe correctly and not add 2 tablespoons of salt instead of teaspoons ekkk

Serious:

being healthy should be a goal

doing nice things for other people makes your soul smile

how much i have been missing out on by being inactive

date night

shoes bakers
dress Charlotte's Russe on sale 14.99
cardi forever 21


 
My friend and i went to the coolest little hole in the wall restaurant the other night
Los Reyes de la Torta... if the name alone doesn't convince you maybe the fact that they were featured on the show Man vs Food will do the trick.
these tortas are scrumbtiolicious i tell you
i could only eat half of mine and he couldn't finish his either so food definitely won

gel nails

what am i loving rigth now ??
ill tell ya
this awesome shellac gel manicure
the lady at the salon said they are good for 2 weeks
no chipping yet and i got them on Monday 
i think they are holding up pretty good: i have played dodge ball, went to the gym, baked and still not a sign of chipping. I file my nails square which makes for more accidents but so far so good!

deals n steals


Earlier this week i went on a lil shopping trip with my sister. We went to superstition mall and gap was having a sale ! i found this cardi for 29.99 yay for sales

topic change: so im almost done with the book The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, i gotta say its a good suspenseful book and a well written one at that ...but i just don't like all the gory sexual violence it comes with. I wish books had ratings (this one is an R) like movies. That way you would know what your getting into. It sucks that once you start reading and your into the book and all this gross stuff happens your scared for life ...

hair timeline

I was inspired by Gertrude from Bows and Pearls to do this post.
She did her hair Chronicles here .
Since one of my new year resolution was to try to grow out my hair i thought id show you guys my hair in my younger years ... it was long and i miss it dearly ...some days more than others

It's so fun to see how many different hairstyles you have sported thru the years. let face it in some of these pics i ask myself what was i thinking...
wether its by a cut, the color, the texture. or the lenght hair makes such a deference in adding personality to your look .. hair is like a signature to your style and I'm so glad i can always change "fonts" so to speak
my motto when it comes to hair : go all out its just hair its gonna grow back !!




Top to left: Senior year i was rockin the natural hair color with a tiny bit of highlights my hair was middle of back length
top right: went blond after graduation it was a dramatic change for me 
bottom left curls and more blond ... 
beach blond this was my fried stage. I don't know how my hair still stayed on my head at this point but the length was a lil shorter by now... Sooo high maintenance... so much of my money was wasted spend on touch ups uggghhh i get stressed just thinking about it. I'm not gonna lie i had way too much fun being a blond




the mullet cut... after all the dead fried hair from the bleach was cut i was left with this mess. gotta admit one of my worst looks
pixie cut i loved how easy short hair is to style cuz wake up and go lol no really
rocking the bangs! switches up the face frame but too much work having to get them trim so often was not my fav...
present day lenght... natural hair color it grew so much since last year i promised myself no more cuts just regular trims crossing my fingers hopefully i get to shoulder length by the summer :)


Dear hair: please hurry up and grow !!

Dressed in Sunday's best


This is what i wore Sunday for church 
shoes: Betsy Johnson $15 at last chance best deal 
dress: Dillard's
cardi: gap only 19.00 on sale used to be 69.99 wooo hooo for sales

this outfit was a smash hit with the ladies. Everyone kept complimenting me on my "skirt" only i knew its true identity a dress ! haha

A couple of nights ago i was having the worst day ever. As always when having a bad day, i lit my little  scentsy candle to try to relax and i prayed... when i was done praying i layed down in bed and just tried to go to sleep ... i could not... so i opened my eyes and there it was



lol i could not stop smiling ! god has such a way when answering prayers ...i mean i know its silly but this little heart made my night in so many ways it still makes me smile now as I'm writing this blog ... i guess its god's and i inside joke :)

Pink n yellow


someone is having writers block right now
i wanna tell you guys all about this awesome top that i found on sale at Charlotte's Russe for only 14.99
that i love how lightweight and summery it makes me feel....
that these shoes have nothing to do with pink but i thought gold and yellow are kinda in the same family so i thought i'd pair them together
also that these pants rock my world because they are bell bottoms and I'm falling in love with calf freedom
but its Friday morning and I'm a lil lot tired ...
