Before & After

---

About 5 inches later and I felt like a whole new girl! My hair is super basic now, which does kind of such, but it looks cute straightened and my boyfriend like it so that all that really matters! Over summer I successfully lightened my ends, true they were fried and dead by the time I got into the salon, I still enjoyed my make-shift ombre hair for the short time I had it. If I had all the money in the world you bet yourself a week ago I would have spent 7 hours in the salon chair getting my hair ombred again. Having my hair ombred was literally was probably the best part of my life thus far. I had so much fun, was so confident and just felt so… independent. I was different, it was new, and best of all… it was what I wanted.  I got a lot of refreshingly good attention and it was a great conversation started at parties and in class. But I don’t have the time and I for sure do not have the money to get it done anytime soon.

Anyways, this is the new hair, plain and simple… you could even say boring. And it is not me at all. I am hoping and it grows in maybe I will like it more. I is just so clean cut and simple… I hate that word. I like my life simple, I like my classes simple and I like my drinks simple, my hair? I like it complex, fun, even a little daring. Keep your eyes peeled! Maybe a color highlight will make an appearance in the next couple weeks 🙂

 

Birthday Boys & Vacation Rant

1 stud, 2 studs
buff studs, tough studs

Oh my goodness these two studs turn 21 in a week! How freakin’ exciting! I really love birthdays, well mostly just mine… I wont lie. But I am going a little over the top on gifts for my mans birthday because he expressed to me that he doesn’t get very excited about his birthday… Seeing as he is the type of guy who uses every little thing as a reason to be positive and upbeat I am slightly confused why he isn’t getting more excited! 21 is a big deal!

Anyways, Drew visited me this past weekend and stayed a night at my grandparents house. It was much-needed! I really miss all of my Monterey family, a lot. Mostly the ones who keep me sane.. and of course I am going to miss him, who wouldn’t miss their ‘Boo’? He came down and I treated him to Kai-Lana, a Sushi place, in my home town that is so freakin good. I really really enjoy sushi and so does he, so I figured what better thing to do, right? Right! Sushi where I live is a bit more expensive then Monterey (because we know all the low-key loc spots!), but I had no problem spoiling both of us a little! We got three amazing rolls and enjoyed good conversation. We then headed into San Luis Obispo to get some desert and go to the movies.

We saw 22 jump street… I highly recommend seeing it! I loooooovveee the new jump street movies and this one was no exception. Go see it!

In 5 days this stud will be picking me up for Palm Springs! I am so excited and so nervous I can’t even express. I am so excited to go on a real vacation. It has been 4 years since I went on a vacation with a friend (a.k.a without having to deal with the stress of my family) Of course, I love my summer and winter family vacations and I love seeing m family, but they still evoke so much added stress when in reality vacation is about getting away from stress. I was stressing a little about the idea of being on vacation with incredibly attractive people stuck in a bathing suit about 90% of the time, but when I was making small talk with my bosses and co-workers about my insecurities and they all made a great point… he already picked me. And I thought about it for a while, he has lived next door to me and been my best friend, to say he has seen me at my beauty lows is a understament. So my physical insecurities vanished.

But as excited as a I am I am also very very nervous! I have already met mom and dad so that’s not the part I am nervous about. I am nervous about the friends, that may sound weird to some. I am worried about trying impress or at least make some sort of splash with people whom I have never met before and that are really quit different from me. But none the less I am counting down the days to our min-road trip to begin our vacation. I am counting down the days to his 21st. And I am counting down the days till I can go on the vacation of Fall 2014 and move back to school. I think I am getting to old for coming home.
