Sorry, but do we know each other?

Been months and months hasn't it? Well my internet isn't cooperating plus I don't have too much free time to myself these days. So, no pictures and pretty things to look at, just text. Let's give you a short update.

I am currently working as a receptionist about two days a week and the rest of the week I am in retail (I think I just got promoted to keyholder... we'll see when the next pay cheque is in). Which leaves about zero time for makeup. But hey, the bills need to be paid, and I need to save up some money.

I'm burnt out. Take today for instance, it is my first day off that I did not request off (to work elsewhere) in as long as I can remember. But I was hurting so bad last night I took lyrica. I know what it does to me the next day, but it's for that bit of relief. I haven't been feeling all that well lately.

At times I feel guilty, I should take the time to do things. I think I suck the fun out of everything. If I'm not working, I just want to lay in bed and depcompress. Which isn't something that I feel good about. I should go out more, but I feel exhausted and hopeless. I owe Andi an email that I sent a few days ago only to find that some text was missing? My luck is tops. There should be more days in the week.. or more hours in a day. My only hope is that this is for a short period of time in my life. The money will be steady soon and I will have a bit more time to do makeup and spend time with people I care about.

On the upside....(Gotta look up right?) My family is doing well. I saw my brother and his wife last week. Then I saw my parents. I also went to my sister's, the boys are growing up so fast. They are so cute. I miss them dearly. I guess my fur bebe is doing well, growing quite round from the pic my cousin just sent me. The personal life is good. I mean. I'll be getting some more ink soon.. probably before June. Another flower to add to the garden. In July, Sabrina and I are going to see Gaga at the ACC. It will be my third time seeing her!!

Anyway... I just want to crawl back in bed. Who am I kidding.. I'm in bed right now lol. I mean, I want to lay down. So.. til next time dolls.

XOXO

It's been a while hasn't it?

First off, happy holidays.

I probably have stuff to write about. But as always, I'm drawing a blankola.

It's so cold out! I just want to crawl back into bed and hibernate! Packing needs to be done.. but it's hard when I have no idea what I'll be wearing the next few days. I like to have options, yanno?

My days are filled with no definite plans, yet I am always busy. How can that be? Time needs to open up for me soon!

2010 will be an exciting/scary time for me. Living out of the nest. AH! But I'm very happy to be moving in with Sab. She has the cutest kitties ever! They're so sweet. I also have to jump.. head first, into getting gigs, even if its TFP.

Mmmmmm.. What else? Iono.

It's so cold, I just want to go back to sleep!!!!

I went shopping?

Yesterday I went to Oakville Place. Not a fan of that mall. It's very small and has a strange layout. BUT it does have a Style Sense!

I originally went because I needed to find a Baptism present for Daniel. I was completely clueless on what to get him. It felt wrong to buy one of those ceramic figurines that said BAPTISM on it. So I went with a book. I also picked up a book for myself... A book written by one of my classmates! How cool is that?

After walking around the entire mall (in less than a half hour) I wandered into Claire's and bought a sequined mask. Meh, I could wear it for Halloween! On my way out, I thought, "Why not just peek into Style Sense? It couldn't hurt!".

I walked up and down the aisles of shoes and only tried on one pair!!! They were agonizingly tight so I perused the purse and toiletries. As I was about to leave I saw.... COSMETICS, right by the check out. There was Urban Decay! Calvin Klein! Bliss! The Balm! And... China Glaze! I picked up one eyeshadow and a box set of SIX China Glaze nail polishes!


(Clockwise from the top)

Shirt from Joe Fresh, Bahama Blues nail polish set, sequined mask, Inner City Girl Like Me By Sabrina Bernardo (=D), and Urban Decay eyeshadow in Chains

I also got my bangs trimmed! Yay!



I'm going to go get adjusted now. My back is still "all kinds of messed up".

Prints!

GOT 'EM!!

I'm not happy with one, but I like the other three a lot. I guess it can't always be a perfect fit. Overall, I think it's a good start. It was a lot of fun and I loved watching the photos being taken... may have to learn a teeny bit about photography now!







Yay! =D

New Chapter

The Fashion and Photography Makeup Course finished on Friday. =(
I miss that class so much! I walked into school today and had to fight the urge to go into that room. I did knock on the window and wave to Barb though.... and went to say hi to her at lunch.

I was so excited to see our pictures today, but *wah wah waaaaaah* they weren't ready yet. I had my portfolio all ready and everything!

Hair is a bit of a challenge. Something as basic as a ponytail was pretty difficult. Working from a different angle.. and not on yourself is strange. I must have yanked out 100 hairs from this mannequins head. I called her many names and whacked her to secure her to the stand. Can you imagine how hot a room can get with 10 blow dryers going at the same time? I was boiling. Oh, and something must have gotten sucked up into my dryer since... a wonderful burning smell was coming from it and the motor started clicking.

But all in all, not a bad start. I'm doing okaaaay!

Mandy and I had lasagna for lunch. Lasagna = awesome.

This is all I can manage for now.

Question for you to think about and answer if you want to : Why do people make things more complicated than they really are?

I can't even hear myself think!

Right now, I am in Ethan's play room. He has a toy saxophone playing and he's banging a set of chimes off of it. His nanny is alternating between school girl giggles and yelling gibberish. I am ready to rip my hair out.

Remember those boots I wanted? I got them yesterday =). On Thursday I went to the mall to visit them, but found out that there were only two in my size left. So I put the order in and now they are MINE! I can't wait to wear them!!!!



Last week was my brother's wedding. We all went to Chicago and I learned that I HATE flying. I left like crap the entire weekend. But the wedding was nice and the food was awesome!

Monday will be the last week of Fashion Makeup for me. =(
It went by way too quickly! I felt like there is so much more to learn! I'm not ready to move on!!! Our photo shoots are Monday and Tuesday. I am quite stressed about it. This entire week I was conflicted. I love to do dark and dramatic looks, but I also want to be able to use my images in my portfolio. I needed to incorporate more pretty looks into my work. I now have my looks in order, I guess I just have to do some practicing....

Here are my charted looks

For black and white


Dramatic


Period

or


Pretty


Ahhh.. Monday freak out!

LOL of the day

I was at Chapters scoping out every single fashion magazine to find some "monochromatic" makeup pics.. and couldn't find any. =(

As I was SQUATTING by the magazine display a Starbucks worker offers me a sample. I look up and say no thanks. She goes,

"Wow! I love your makeup! Are you a model????"

I laugh. Bahahahaha... That made my day.

Then I went to Sherway Gardens to hit up the bank. I had no intention of looking at shoes and somehow ended up at Browns. Why oh why did I go in??? There is a pair of Miss Sixty's thigh high boots that I.. WANT. NEED.

*Sigh.

Oh, and I got my hair cut yesterday. Six inches and bangs!


(EDIT ... My hair colour is gross.. time to dye!)

Ahhh.. and applying my own makeup! I'm wearing my brand new grease paint stick, and youngpunk mineralize eyeshadow over it. I LOVE glitter.

My birthday is next Sunday! .... Gift certificates to Browns Shoes would be awesome... I'm just sayin' =p
