One More Splurge

I spend recklessly, I'm ashamed to admit that majority of my money goes to cosmetics. It's that one really girly thing that I love.Nothing makes me happier then to walk through a sephora, ulta or the cosmetic isle at target. The past few months I have cut back (sort of) I thought buying all of my makeup from places like walmart, target and avon, would help me save but it's been just the opposite. Because everything is way more affordable, I end up buying a whole bunch of junk that I don't need (L'oreal bb cream of example, it was trash) I came to realization that I will have to cut out buying makeup all together. I have all kinds of products collecting dust on my desk, some barely used and some never used at all except to swatch them. Then I heard Urban Decay was releasing a new palette and then I saw the colors and fell in love. Theres a blue and green in the palette and their so pigmented, watching the video above and my mind is creating all kinds of looks. This will be my last makeup splurge, the palette retails at $59.99 and comes with 20 shadows. Gorgeous

30 by 30 # 1: Weight Lost

My weight has been a problem for over 5 years.  I've noticed that I'm not as healthy, I get colds more frequently as with before It was once a year or not at all. Im getting older and its getting harder to drop the lbs. In high school and in my early 20's it was nothing for me to lose 10 lbs, now its damn near impossible. I decided to make a change earlier this year and bought the p90x program to get in shape once and for all. What I failed to realize is p90x is not a weight loss program but is really just a way to build muscle.  I made it to 60 days and then started to slack off, I was disappointed in myself. I did lose a few lbs but nothing major and I wanted major. My eating habits had alot to do with me not seeing major results. I would work my ass off and then eat pizza or something else greasy and bad for me. I am promising myself that I  am going to lose weight and keep it off. I realize that I have to make lifestyle changes and it is not going to be easy but I have to do something because my health is starting to get effected so now its not only about vanity. Yes I do want to look good but I also want to feel good and right now I don't.

30 By 30

I was on one of my favorites blogs betsyj.com and she to is turning 30 next year and like me felt some kind of way about it, but to change all those ill feelings about turning 30 she wrote a list of things she wants to do before then. I'm copying her idea and making a list, I was having a little trouble coming up with things so every time an idea pops into my head I will post it here

Video: Frank Ocean "Pyramids"

When I first heard the album this was the song that stuck out to me and quickly became one of my favorites, so I was super excited when a video was released. Frank ocean on a bike+big booty strippers + john mayer =my favorite new video

Stretching

I decided to stretch earlier this month. I had lost the ball on my septum ring and as much as I hate buying body jewelry  at the mall (online has better prices and selection) I didn't feel comfortable leaving my ring without a ball and risk it falling out and my piercing closing ( If it closed I wouldn't re pierce it, the shit hurt). So I went to a kiosk at the mall, the cashier was creepy but he gave me a discount on a new septum ring and on 14 gauge tapers. A few days later I greased up the tapers with olive oil and slid  those bad boys in. It went in pretty easy, probably because of the olive oil, but they stung like a bitch after inserting. I wash them whenever I take a shower but I'm afraid to take the tapers out because I don't want to risk the hole shrinking (thats what she said). Next month I go up to 12 gauge's, then 10, 8,6,4,2 and finally a 0 gauge. I don't want to go any bigger then that, maybe a 00 but I will cross that bridge when I get there. I've been doing alot of research and so far a "blow out" is something I should very much avoid. It happens when you "stretch" to fast and cause scar tissue and your ear lobes start looking like chewed up meat, it also is painful. I'm taking my time with this to avoid such things from happening, so if it takes me a year or more to reach my goal then thats fine. Healthy ears is key. Here are some video's I found on youtube that has been alot of help

Killing 2 birds with one stone

?

Lost and confused about a lot right now. I've just been feeling down and I dont know why. I decided to make an adult decision (finally) about my career and being a medical coder seems to make sense right now. Being a writer would be lovely but I've been uninspired. I have to make some more decisions. It sucks to be a adult

Fuchsia Hair

I finally did it! And I like it. I was a bit nervous but I got over it in a few minutes. I do miss blonde and my biggest fear is my hair turning orange if I were to bleach again. Time will tell, for now I'm really liking my new fall color

p.s. This is going to look great with the Azalea Banks lipstick from mac. I will get mines on monday to test it out.
