Christmas Gift Cards

        I’m finally using my gift cards that I got for Christmas. I went on Sephora and got myself a contour kit. I went to American Eagle Outfitters and got myself jeans and cardigans. It was good to buy more clothes, or just get new things. I had to get cardigans because I never take my jackets off because I'm always cold. The unfortunate thing about me wearing my jacket all the time is my jackets are all black. Now I’m waiting for all of my things to come in, the waiting game.

Uggs

        Winter finally came for a short visit, I hope, and I’ve been wearing my Uggs. They got wet from all the snow and now they look ugly. So I looked on Pinterest to see if there was a better way to clean the boot, and make it look and feel better. The first thing you want to do is brush the boots with a stiff brush to wipe away the dirt. Next, with a damp towel gently wipe the boots all over. Then stuff the boots with something to hold the shape of the boots. Finally, put the boots in a in a cool place to dry for about 24-48hrs. You don’t want to wear the boots until they are dry because the boot can lose the shape. I will try this later, and let you know how it worked out! www.pinterest.com/

Postponed Senior Pictures

        Senior pictures got postponed because our gowns and the green screen weren’t ready. Thank goodness because I can dye my hair before we take pictures. But the person who usually does my makeup may not be here when we take pictures, so I might have to do it myself. I don’t feel too great about that because I’m not confident enough in myself to do my own makeup. I’m going to have these pictures for a long time. Anyways, my gown is black; if you have any suggestions on how I should do my makeup, please leave a comment!

Wedding News

        The wedding went well! The bride was absolutely gorgeous! The bridesmaids wore messy fishtails and a neutral smoky eye. We all had an amazing time. The night was filled with excitement and joy! I know the bride and groom are happy; they are currently on their honeymoon. I wish her and her husband a happy and long life together!

Blonde or No?

           My hair is orange, again. I am so tempted to go to the store and get blonde hair dye and dye my hair. I’m sure my hair will take the color; I mean it is already bleached. I’m sure it cannot turn out any worst than it is now. I probably won’t do it by myself though; I need someone else to be there with me. If I mess this up, what am I going to do? I don’t want to fry my hair. The struggle of being a girl is frustrating. Wish me luck!

Maple Bars

        I’m going to go a little off the topic of hair and beauty and talk about the time I made maple bars. Over Christmas break I had a really bad craving for maple bars so I went on Pinterest and looked up a recipe. I went to the store and bought all the ingredients. Did I mention this was my first time making maple bars. I made the dough, which was the easiest. When I was making the maple topping the store didn’t have the ingredients, so I had to improvise. I called a friend who likes to bake, and she told me to just used regular syrup, powdered sugar, vanilla and maple extract; it worked out well. After I let the dough rise for an hour I started rolling it out and cutting into “bar” shapes. I started to fry them and they wouldn’t puff up like the picture. I realized that I killed the yeast in the dough. I was so embarrassed because I got everyone excited to have maple bars and messed them up.

Game Day

        I am the manager of the high school basketball team at my school. Today is game day! We are going to have tournament here at the school for the first time in years, so we are going to start to dress formally on game days. I love it because it gives me an excuse to dress nicely. Another the plus about game day is the whole community comes together to cheer on team!
