Yay Updates!!

Soooo, I've been absent. Busy with moves, work, life in general.

But I am back and I will hopefully be posting every other day.

I want to start posting on a schedule.

Like, every monday, an OOTD/FOTD,

wednesday, life update,

friday, tutorial,

and sundays will be fun stuff around the net.

From now on, it's schedule time, mkay?

Back to your regular programming.

Today, I was supposed to go and hang out with some work friends,

but all plans were cancelled. Went to Red Robin, instead with my sister.

We got chicken sandwhiches. I forgot pictures. Oh well...

I also curled my hair as seen as above. And I did these as well.

Tutorial coming soon..

See y'all tomorrow.

Fall Hair Ideas

UGGH!

I am so tired of my look nowadays. I'm trying to grow out my hair. It's at that stage where it's staying at shoulder length. I'm also sick of my color too.

Here's a few ideas!

I want a burnt caramel color like her.

Or maybe a honey color like this.

Ooh or maybe chocolate color like this.

And a cut like this, which I already

have.

I have really curly hair, but it behaves. I am so happy for that, because it always used to be really dry and unmanageable. I'm freakin' grateful that it changed for the better.

I eventually want my hair to end up like this. So long and pretty. Hopefully my curls will loosen up as it gets longer.

Or this.

So next payday I'm going to buy all my hair color for makeup. Oh and hot rollers. I want to loosen my curls as they grow out. Oh and buy fall makeup.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

Sooo, my birthday was suppossed to be all fun and wonderful, but instead it was just plain awful. I got food poisoning from dinner and today got extremely stressed during my shopping trip. And top of the that, I acted like a real brat to my mum and now I feel horribly about it. Ugh, it's like my brain was all swollen or something. Let me dish the dirt.

On Thursday, my real day of birth, I had no means to do anything except dinner. So we went to the local steakhouse. My sis and I got the most disgusting ribs, which was swimming in fat, we had to wait an hour for our food, and our waitress gave terrible service. Normally, I'd totally understand if she were busy. I mean, I've worked in food service before and sometimes, customers would have to wait. This would be fine with me, except for ONE THING! She only had us and 1 other table. The place was totally barren. So there was no reason for her not to offer us drinks after we just sat down. We had to wait 15 min. for a drink. And then the food made me really sick. So she took that off our bill, which is probably the only decent thing about her. Oh and offered me a sprite for my stomach.

Afterwards, we went and got pie from Marie Callendar's. I love the lemon cream cheese. Later, as I ate it, I noticed that the crust was really dry and the filling tasted off. Which means that it was old and they didn't want throw it out. Lovely...... All in all a pretty shit-tastic day. I had been a crappy mood all day and the evening really brought me down...

So today, mum and I went to the mall, where I proceeded to bitch and complain about everything and everyone. It was a hatefest alright. I'm just sorry she had to hear all that. I had a panic attack when I couldn't find a coupon for Bath and Body Works. I was super stressed out today. And then mum had to comment that because of my "scene", I wouldn't get hired there. Listen, everyone has their off days and if you can't accept that, go fuck yourself. I'm human, so there. Everyone I've ever worked for knows that I'm a dream to work with and customers love me. It's not like I'd get stressed over a scent. And whenever a company doesn't hire, I tell myself that it wasn't meant to be and move on. It's easier that way.

So as I sit here writing this and reflecting on my day, I realized that I'm dog tired, have a headache and can't smell anything. I'll be going to bed after this, because tomorrow, I have to search for jobs.

Good night,

Ashley

Updates and a bit of sadness

source: justawildthought

Finally updated my blog. Sorry for the whole M.I.A. This month has been all topsy-turvy. First one my family members passed away. Then, my sister's horse passed away. It's all just so sad. I'm proud to say that I've been holding down the fort and haven't fallen apart. I'm really really really trying to see the positive in both of these situations, and to help my sis and mum through it too. Hopefully it will be calmer in a few weeks time.

Anyways, on a happier note, I'm turning 20 on the 30th. I really want to do something to takes my family's mind of this emotional uproar. Maybe a movie marathon and at-home pedis and manis. I love to order in food and stay in on my birthday. It's low-key, low-stress, and low maintenance. I also want to hit the Bath and Body Works sale and get all my fall and holiday candles and wallflowers. If there's anything that would cheer me up, it would be anything fall and winter scented. Oh, and pumpkin pie instead of cake. Yum!

Tomorrow, I'll put up a list of fall things, I am dying to do. I feel that more than ever, I should keep myself busy and do lots of fun things. It just makes me realize, that you should live every day to the fullest.

Yesterday, it was chilly for the first time in 4 months.

And today, it truly feels like fall.

So tomorrow, I'll put out an article related to the greatly appreciated season.

That is all.

Summer Time Updates

God, payday seems to be soooo far away.

And of course, Ideeli had a Betsey Johnson sale, of course.

I can't find enough batteries for my camera.

So no pictures for the past month.

However,

We finally moved into a wonderful house in CA.

Back to one of my old hometowns.

Except for my nose constantly dripping, I love it here!!!

So much sun and NO HUMIDITY!

I even have my own patio. I still don't know what to do with it.

I would show you pictures, but alas no batteries have been spotted for the camera.

I haven't really done anything makeup wise.

I got a haircut and finally got my roots done too.

So it's light brown with really subtle highlights.

It used to be 3 in. past my shoulders, now my hair skims my jaw.

It's so comfortable.

I will try to find batteries and take pictures of it.

Off to clean.
