new makeup~ ^OO^

today, i went shopping.
such a wonderful thing, shopping is.
c:

i went to Macy's, at the Woodland Mall. and stopped at the MAC counter, my favorite makeup brand next to Ben Nye[but this is a stage makeup brand. my brushes are Ben Nye]

my bangs kind of hide the makeup.
so i moved them.
sorry my eyebrows aren't perfect, i fucked them up so i'm letting them re-grow then i'll shape them again.
[or Becky, my hairdresser, will~]

this is the final outcome, i bought four different colors of shadow, and one "base". it's like primer on a wall went you paint it. it makes everything stay in place.

i may or may not upload a tutorial on how to. i got the idea of this from Michelle Phan's Glamorous Birthday Makeup video, i didn't too good matching hers. but idc i like it how it is.

i bought -
Sketch Velvet
Swish Frost
Hepcat Frost
Phloof Froat
and the base is Bare Study

as well i got Dazzle Gloss Baby Sparks
it's a nudy color on me, but it really makes them shiny. i love it.

this all totaled in over 90$, but i think it was totally worth it.
i really like how i look with this, much more than just liner.
:3

but i am rethinking how my bangs are, i want new bangs.
what will i do with them?



my grandparents are not here, yet.
we're picking them up at the airport at 11pm.
so until then, i'm bored.

i am taking the GED next week.
it's all planned out.
hurray!

hair dye - blonde to red purple

today i got my hair dyed.
c:
it is a joyous occasion that i get my hair dyed.
and more so that i got my puppy groomed the same day!

i was not so cute going in- i don't think so at least.
don't do your hair before you go to get your hair done. it's a waste, you have to shampoo your hair before they dye it then. that's another like 10-30 minutes on top of a two-six hour process.
[six hours only if you're like bleaching and blahblah or mess up or something]
anyway.
this was me before~

[that's Anna's butt in the background c:]

the dye looked like the goo from Power Rangers, the movie.

it made me laugh.
c:


Becky never makes my hair cute when she dyes it, doesn't smooth it. it's just all thrown up there. Dx so no face pix. i have an ugly forehead.


rinsed out and wet~

and finally

all done.
c:

i really like the color and style, the bangs are a little short for what i normally do. but w/e still cute.
:3


i took another pix when i got home to show hold,
i live 30 minutes from where Becky is.
but we stopped to get Wendy's
sooooo this shows it holds for at least 30-50 minutes.
it's still up at 12pm, it was finished at like 8pm?
product is such goodness.

want to know what products i use?
ask.
how do i style?
magic.

and yes, i styled it.
Becky tried but i am too picky.




AND
Ejote's grooming adventure.
she is fluffy and wonderful.
they trimmed her up a little and shaved her ears down.
i don't like them short, or long, so maybe i'll find somewhere as they grow out that i like.
i like them short better than long though.

[go to ejotesnewlife.blogspot.com for a hilarious story about the groomers!]
she is my baby.
; w ;


i am going to the mall tomorrow to get a makeup make over, as well i am baking a cake for my mother.
she is accepting an award for being an awesome lawyer or something.
my grandparents are coming to Michigan to spend the rest of the week with us/her too!

back to the wig store

today i went to try and find Sally's, i couldn't, so i went back to the wig store because i knew where it was. and knew they had what i wanted.

i got black, red, white, and silver nail design polish. three nail files in pink and purple and blue maybe? as well as black, white, and pink nail gems for 13$
they are really inexpensive there, and they were really nice to me.
c:

if i do my own nail design three times i will have paid for the products already.

i am going to do nails for my friends this weekend, because i want to start doing them myself instead of paying. since i have been watching them be done for 4 years.
they wont be as high quality- but i don't much care since i will be working with my hands in school.
but i want to practice on my friends before me.
^OO^

WARNING
DO NOT JUST DO YOUR OWN ACRYLIC NAILS
i basically was an apprentice- i always watch them do my nails like a hawk because i wanted to do nails professionally, plus i think it's very neat.
it is VERY dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.


tomorrow i am taking Ejote to the groomers,
and getting my hair done.
lots of pix i swear~

between week 7 and 8 - i always worry

i posted this in my Underdog to Wonderdog blog, but i only know of one person [plus] my mom that reads that.
and i wanted this here because it's actually something besides just my doggy.
but you should all go read the other blog, too.
because she is adorable.
Ejotesnewlife.blogspot.com

okay, this is- a selfish of me.
DO NOT THINK I DON'T LOVE M DOGGIE
i do.
she's amazing.
and i wouldn't ask for another dogs personality.

but i am very image based and i wanted a cute dog.
Ejote is cute, she's darling, my darling, and i love her. don't forget that.
but i wanted a pom for a dog.
and i worry- is her fur ever going to grow out?
it's been almost 8 weeks since i bought her, and i think there was another two before that that i knew her?
idk.
but i look at picture of Pom/Bichon mixes and they are fluffy like Poms,
and i look at shaved Poms and- their fur looks more smooth than hers?
maybe it's because she does need to be groomed- or the fact that she's just growing out so it's a little ratty looking.
but i just wonder if the people at the society lied to me about how her fur would be.

her tail and ears are obvi pom length, but some breeds have fluffier ears/tails than body fur.
idk.

i just expected more hair by this time.
looking at her old pictures makes me go "shit, she was BALD"

she's still really cute, just not fluffy like the pom puppies i held at the fair.
only time will tell~

these are all images found on Google.com
these first two are pomeranian bichon frise mixes- puppies



and this is a shaved down pomeranian

looks just like Ejote did before she got all scruffy


P.S.
she has grooming on Tuesday at 4pm,
i have my hair at 6:15pm,
and we have no update on when photos will be.

Cirque du Freak

this is my final post and then i'm going to bed.
it's 5am and i really should sleep.

i got maybe- 15 minutes into this movie before i couldn't take it anymore.
the acting was awful, the costuming and casting was bad, it was just.... bad.
and so cheesy.
uhg

this was the first book i ever read by choice other than anime.
and i am boycotting this film and series.

the film is light and funny- the book is dark and very serious.
:|
i am, in a word, angry.
the only reason they even made it was because of the fact that there are vampires in it.
and vampires are in right now.

how do i know?
i started reading this series in 5th grade.
i should be a senior now.

worth watching? no
will i ever watch it? not that i can imagine
am i re-reading the books? oh yes~

GOOD NIGHT

Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity - Paranormal Activity... what can i even say about it?
wonderful is a good word to describe it.

this is what i wrote right after i saw it

"just watched Paranormal Activity [pm me for a link with HQ video]
and i must say- it was very good.

it was not "scary",
and no point did i scream, flinch, jump, or want to stop watching,
but when i went outside to let my dog out i had that feeling left inside me.
fear.
being alone in the quiet.
wondering what else there could be.

that is what makes a good horror movie.
is if when you turn off the lights- you think you might not know what's in the dark."

a very short explanation, but it is most def how i feel about it.

it has a VERY slow beginning and never gets faster than a jog really. do not go in looking to be on the edge of your seat.
you are in for a nice, sit back and relax show that slowly turns into wide eyed sitting in the back of your chair thinking "what is this?"

and honestly, that's the best there is.

i- however- do not believe this is real.
i don't believe that it is at all possible for that to be shown, you cannot make profit off a criminal case.
there was a MURDER in this film, you cannot release evidence like that. even if both parties[the accused and the murdered] are dead.
can you? you better not be able to.
that would be fucked up.
:|

that is my strongest point that it is not real.
based on a real story, sure.
but i still don't believe it's real.

my second point, the ouija[is that even the right word? it's said WII-GEE] board scene, it did NOT glide smoothly over the board and looked like it was taken picture, moved, taken picture, moved, taken picture, moved. like claymation. cheap claymation.
though that could have been because i was watching online, i'm NOT sure, it did not look real to me. the plants in the background also moved from one position to another for NO reason. why would a ghost move the plants?
idk

also, the scene where the female lead says she wants to stay in the house in her little girl voice is so clearly forced acting. i hated it, almost painful to listen to. but it was over quickly.

did it say it was fake at the beginning of the movie? i don't remember it saying that. but if it did this makes me sound like a total dumbass.
just looked it up.
it is fake.
ROFL i am so funny i don't pay attention.
c:

but those points i made- they are still valid reasons [except the murder scene] that make it less good.

worth watching?
yes.
worthing watching in a theater instead of on your computer illegally?
hell yes.
am i going to it in theaters?
you're damn right~

V-rock festival 09

http://v-rockfes.com/content2/?category=&pg=0

here is a link of all the artists playing.
if you wanted to watch it you most likely already are- if not- i don't have the live link.
it doesn't work for me, and i'm too lazy to make it.
i really only care to see Moi dix Mois live, and they're done so i'm watching it on youtube.

i can't even look at Seth, do you see his hair? fuck, Mana, what is he thinking?

Sam and i decided Mana realized Seth was prettier than him so he made Seth look like a drag queen.

ROFLROFLROFL
how Mana of him.
there are a few other bands i want to see, i don't listen to a wide rang of artists. since the site i used to download J-rock got hacked and links to porn now.
they [MdM] played a song i didn't know and i almost died inside. he's coming up with new music and i am completely in the dark.
so if anyone has a site to download Jrock i'd love some help.
c:

ANYWAY~
if you're there you're a lucky bastard.


i have a question, though, why is Manson playing? gross.
:|

[how many times will i posts today, i'm just on a roll of new information]

Where the Wild Things Are

i cannot, for the life of me, remember the book. i know i read it as a child, but it did not speak to me like this movie did.

i was not a well behaved child, i literally would scream and bite and kick and punch. run away, steal, throw things, cause problems.
i was just so imaginative.
^OO^

the memories that stick out the most to me- from my childhood- was~
when i bit a girl and my tooth fell out in her arm.
when my mom had to grab me and hold me for maybe an hour as i kicked and screamed.
when i was being pelted with wood-chips by girls as i was stuck on a jungle-jim. [i was up there for the entire class period, they forgot i was up there]
when i chucked wood-chips at girls on the jungle jim because i wasn't going to get stuck again.
and when my mom followed me all the way from our house to the YMCA, i was barefoot.

i was a fun loving child, really.
^OO^~

BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT.
well it kind of it, that is why i liked it so much. because i related.
i realized, the same as Max, that you can cause problems or you can try and help.



the costuming, first of all, was amazing. the scenery, the special effects. it was all just so nicely done. which is something that can really make or break a movie for me.
the plot line was cute, the beginning made me really angry though.
Max builds a fort in the snow and his big sisters friends destroy it, leaving him crying with a dead fort. i get angry when siblings don't stick up for each other, even when i don't like my brother i love him, and i always watch out for him.
i was going to beat the kids up at his summer camp for making fun of him- but my mom wouldn't let me.
jerk.
and the ending made me cry, i don't cry often over things other than physical pain, emotional frustration, and that's it.
i don't cry over movies, i don't remember ever crying over a movie at this mental age level? does that make sense?
i didn't ball or anything, but a tear fell. it was really cute that way.

i am not even talking about the movie, just me.
rofl i am so good that way.

my brother said he didn't like it, i don't know why, i really did. it wasn't "entertaining" or "exciting" but it really brought me a nostalgic feeling. and not many things do that.
so i liked it.

i heard people calling it "trippy" not in a psychedelic way- idk how else there is trippy. but it seemed normal to me, i have always been imaginative though. i guess.
> u >

i really liked the scenery. i can't get over it.
i want to play on that set.

i say go see it.

OKAY
let me explain what's going down,
first off these are my nails.

this is my own personal design, i design all my nail designs. and have for almost 8 months now.
they are fully black with silver lines in an X with a pink gem under the X on the ring finger if the pic is unclear. bad lighting in my room leads to that often.

secondly~
my mom was cleaning today.
she was cleaning a lot.
so i wanted to clean- because i like cleaning sometimes. and i was in the mood. i was going to do it before but shit got in my way so i didn't but i did it today!

i vacuumed the basement, then my room- then i went insane.

i stripped the pillow cases from my pillows and threw it on the floor- my stuffed animals and pillows.


then i got the first mattress off.


and i made a mountain with my pillows and mattress for funny.




then i pulled the box mattress off.
i almost died it was so hard~
but i did it.



it was disgusting under there.

not able to get it back on- i begged my mom for help.
she did.
c:


and ta-da! mattress flipped and back on.
c:
and i re-vaccumed my room.



then i made my bed with my new comforter.
the bright pink pillow will be black- so will the small bit of kitty pillow under the stuffed animals.
i have black pillow cases in the wash still.
and the white pillows behind the princess ones will be black too~



this is my desk, i rarely use it.
yes i have two laptops, the one on my desk is only used to play The Sims 2



this is my closet, and my extra hanger stuff.
c:
it hides my Malice Mizer poster, though. thankfully it doesn't hide Mana.
that bag is filled with shoes, i have to fix that soon.
i will later- or tomorrow.

WELL
that's my insanity.
i suggest you clean your room too.
i bet it's filthy.

[am making at least one more post today, maybe two
the other post will be my review of Where the Wild Things Are]

and the photos should be on Wednesday but we're not sure yet.
we'll see.

this is the color

cleaning is an obsession

i have an obsession- an obsession with cleaning.
once i start i cannot stop- not until it's done or done to a point where i cannot make it better.

i started today with my bathroom, then worked a little with my bedroom, and i will do my car[which i am trying to sell kind of] later.
c:



this is my army, a broom, small broomy thing, trash bags, toilet bowl cleaner, scrubbing bubbles stuff, paper towels, a towel, and a ball to distract my dog with so she doesn't attack the trash.
^OO^

i have no before pictures, because to be honest- i don't want anyone to know how gross i let it get before i clean it.
Dx


this is all the trash from my bathroom, most of it is period stuff. since i just got off.
good to know, huh?

from the door


from the back


from the sink, a side corner thingy


let me explain something- i adore storage. even though my sick and shower use all the space instead of keeping it stored.
i just have so much stuff and not enough room.
i need to quit buying shit i wont use.

this is my sick,

from left to right front to back~

a comb, a brush, my hair cutting wonderful snippies.
[the dark on my comb and shiny on my brush are pig tail holders, all my hair brushing things have them on the handle. and my wrist]

blue box - eye makeup remover.
pink bottle - really good eye makeup remover. i put it on a q-tip and remove a little bit under my eyes to make the lines perfect when i use pencil. i don't like smudge lines.
tall white bottle - contact solution
orange tube - acne stuff
clear bottle with green top - heat protection stuff
white bottle with red label - idk... body lotion? my mommy got it for me for my birthday.
orange bottles [both] - hand soap, the first one is plain the second is massaging.
pink soap - hand soap. some people like bar soap plus it's pink~
clear bottle - perfume
purple bottle - perfume
wooden thing - nail cleaner
cups - to rinse when i brush my teeth. it has a candle on top.
box - makeup cleaner kit, top has space for tissue, under has space for cotton balls and q-tips c:
toothpaste/brush - this is my harsher tooth paste, i rarely use it. because it hurts my mouth. i brush my teeth in the shower. but when i really can't stand my teeth i use this.


this is the mess under my sink.
it's completely unorganized and just stores shit.


this has my teeth whitening stuff and floss in it. that is basically my teeth bag.
candles, pain killers, tums, and some acne stuff i didn't like are also in there.


and them something every girl i know has- a tampon drawer~


this is my shower/bath. i have a two in one thing. i hate it. i want a shower again. but i'm used to it now so w/e.
left to right again~
razor - obvi it is a razor
clear bottle with label - hand soap, for my ears and eyes. i use to get rid of eye makeup when i don't want to use the pads and for ear piercing cleaning.
bottle - shower lotion stuff i don't use. birthday gift, it smells so good.
pink bottles - shampoo and conditioner
smaller pink bottle - dog shampoo
silver tube - toothpaste, for sensitive teeth
pink bottle - face wash
purple ball - luffa
toothbrush - electric toothbrush~


this is the lower part, i keep my body wash, extra strength conditioner and a luffa that quiets the dripping shower head here.
c:

how i shower - wash face with soap, shampoo, rinse, extra strength conditioner, wash face with face wash, brush teeth, wash ears, wash body, rinse extra strength conditioner.
takes 30-60 minutes depending on what needs shaving. usually just the pits.
O w O


this is my amazing shower curtain.
i have an obsession with them, Bell is best.


and this is my tower, next to my sink.
bottom has my hair extensions and hair tools. flat irons, curlers, and blow drier.

middle has rubber gloves, extra shampoo[like different brands, and for my extensions], and shoe polish.

and then the top has a bunch of hair stuffs, headbands and whatnot, then hair product, hairspray-moose-blahblahblah


and this is my toilet.
it's the most boring part of my bathroom.
the toilet paper holder doesn't work- it breaks and falls off all the time.
so it all stays on the back thingy.

and ta-da that's my bathroom~





a sneak peek of cleaning my room

all the trash i got from what little i did today


i redid the crayons, because they were all just thrown in there.
Dx

i worked for over an hour on the cleaning.
it was super fun.
i can't wait to do more~



oh and the best thing about cleaning is finding old things-

this is a doodle i did of Aoi, my BFF, when i was in the mental hospital. i drew it through teary eyes. i missed him so much and was so upset. it was such a happy doodle though.
^OO^

Halloween Stores/wig stores

i found a store today- my mom found a store today- and i am in love.

but let's start with what i meant to do today.
last year i found a Halloween store that was so amazing, it had professional wigs and costumes worth 100$s it was so amazing. platform shoes and petticoats, vampire teeth and demon horns. so nice.
but i couldn't find it this year.

so we went to a all year long costume shop, thinking it wouldn't be as cheap.
it was.

it was messy and gross, the people who worked there were creepy and hit on me a little bit. i did not like.
they had one wig that i liked, but it didn't come in a color that i liked- so we left.

they did have some masquerade masks that i liked- as well as vampire teeth that had two teeth. so it'd be on your k-9 and the tooth next to it. i thought that was very nice. but i didn't want to spend any of my money- so i didn't.

i don't like halloween stores, they're cheap and dirty and just gross.
all year ftw, but not this one. it was cheap and dirty too.
:|

on our way back we drove down 28th, the street that takes you everywhere, and saw a wig store. well, mom saw it, and said something, so i said we should stop. and really, we were so close to not that i would say it was insane that we actually stopped.

they had only african american models on the outside of the store. the model posters. so me, being a skinny white girl, was a little worried. but when we went it they were all Asian. i feel very comfortable around asians, seeing as i buy from them more than anyone else.

wigs upon wigs, walls of hair extensions, fake eyelashes, nails, and ever circle lenses, i was in love.
i am almost upset about leaving GR now that i know that is there. but i know there will be that in LA, more than one i'm sure.
so many wigs, i didn't bring my phone in because i didn't think it would be anything amazing but oh was i wrong.
no more buying lenses offline for me~
okay i most like will still.
i love pretty&cute

anyway~

i found a wig i liked, and just had to cut the bangs.

i need another head for it, idk where i'll get one.
i'll find one, though.

LoTR

a few days ago i went to the theater for a movie/concert. what does that mean exactly? well it means i watched a movie while listening to the choir/orchestra. the movies soundtrack was taken out- so only the actors voices and sound effects were heard. no music. and it was very-very neat.
the movie i went to was The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring. or the first of the series. it was full. so crowded. i hate crowds.







and wouldn't you know it? i was in the very middle of the theater. best seat in the house for a movie- and i could see the entire on stage performance. a few of the singers heads were cut off but not bad.
my brothers flute instructor played the fife[sp?]. which is the main instrument in the hobbit sounding music.

i was angry because mom made me sit next to my brother, who was slightly ill. he fell asleep about 3/4 of the way through, which also pissed me off. how rude.

there was a woman behind us [or more so a teen] who was wearing the elf woman's necklace, she bitched so much. i wanted to smack her.

i hate people who bitch about the performance, elitist assholes~

it got 4/4 stars, btw.

i really enjoyed it, i really enjoy the entire series. for whatever reason, whenever there is a series, i see the 1st more often than anything else.
maybe it's because it's around the longest?

i have also been to the LoTR play, which took all three movies and squished it into a single play. and let me tell you- it was beautiful. they used stilts for the tree people[oml i can't think of anything right now, names, races, etc, forgive me], the stage actually rose in different sections to make mountains, and it was really amazing, i saw it in either London or New York city so unless you live there i wouldn't expect it to come any time soon.

whitening trays

as you all know, if you have read my blog that is, i had my teeth whitened awhile ago. as well i was given whitening trays.
and today~ i decided to try the trays.
first of all- the trays themselves are awful. i would suggest brushing them so that they don't smell/taste funny. i didn't. -dying-
secondly- read the instructions before you start. i thought i had the overnight kind, i don't. so i have to stay up an extra hour waiting for this shit to be done.
third- just brush your teeth so you never have to do this.
:|

okay, so you take a siring and place a drop about o the inside of that o large in each tooth. i put less in the smaller teeth and more in the bigger. and i didn't do the back teeth because no one can see those. it's best to save it so i can use more later.
you then place the trays in your mouth, don't push them down to fast of all the gel will just come out and not be on your teeth.
then you wipe away the excess and wait.

after an hour you take them off and rinse the trays and brush them to get gel that wont come out out.

i will update with anything i learn/if i can tell a difference after one use when this is done.

going halloween shopping tomorrow, and i'm going to upload pix i took a few nights ago from a play/movie i went to.
so sorry i've been really lazy.


UPDATE
my teeth do in fact look whiter.
and after about 10 minutes i got over the terrible feeling so it was only slightly annoying.
as well i got a "zinger" which hurt more than the ones i remember when i got my actual teeth whitening. it lasted longer, but it's gone now.
i'm glad i did it, but i don't think i will again for awhile.
Dx

i would much rather get my teeth whitened then do the trays, if you're deciding between the two.
but the trays are about 200$ less expensive.
so~
if you have the money spend it,
but don't take a loan out if you don't.
there are other inpatient options, too. but we never talked about them so ask your dentist not me!

math homework

today, i, Charlotte, helped my brother, Henry, with his math homework.
Henry is a 12 year old 6th grader.
he is in algebra.
which was my 9th grade class.
i never passed.
Henry also got all the questions write on his math meep test.
the meep is a the Michigan standardize test.

and, i, Charlotte, knew something about math that my brother, Henry, did not.
so take that.

i know how to do math with letters better than he does.
^OO^

that's all i wanted to say.

leg waxing

today i got my legs waxed for the first time, i plan on making this a regular routine for me. [money allowed] no more razors for my legs~
it's not a very painful experience, just time consuming and a little costly.
55$ is a cheap rate for leg waxing, 15$ per leg up to the knee, then 30$ for a full leg is what most salons charge.
or that's what i've seen.

anyway, the room was very nice. just a bed, like a massage table. so it's high enough for her to get to me- there were scented candles in the room as well as a waterfall. the waterfall to me made it sound like it was raining. i was like "how would you know if it is raining?!"
her whole house was nice, though. candles everywhere, a spiral stair case, a trampoline outside, and an RV[i want one, so does my mommy~] it was a beautiful house. even though it was in construction mode right them. redoing the fireplace.

oh! how do you know it's safe to go to a persons HOUSE? well she's Becky's friend. she does Becky's bikini line. so they're close. Becky is my hair dresser, if you forgot. love her~

okay, anyway, next up~
we went down to her little spa room and she explained how it's very rare to have dark AND thin hair. which is what i have. i was like, yup, thin hair, thin thin thin -hate- i hate that i have thin hair. but apparently it's better for waxing. i don't know what thick hair does when waxed, it didn't apply to me. so i can't help you if you have thick or course leg hair. but she said "if you have thick or course leg hair you wont get the result you want"
she put a small patch of wax on my leg and my anxiety flipped, she said it wouldn't be bad if my eyebrows/lip weren't a problem.
she ripped it off and ta-da hairless.
i didn't even flinch.

she continued to do the rest of my legs, what most people do will be the lower leg, then the knee, and the thigh. only the front. the "front" is more the actual front then both sides. leaving a strip in the back.
she moved on to the other leg, and it wasn't awkward at all. granted, she moved my skirt around, moved my panties so she wouldn't get wax on them, it was a little weird. but she was really friendly and not... weird.
[leg wax goes up the bikini line]

we talked about a lot of things, her daughter who is going into 7th grade waxed her own legs! she didn't apply the wax herself, but she pulled out all her own hair. i can't imagine doing that. because it doesn't hurt /that/ bad but it does hurt. i plan on doing it "myself" when i move in with my friend. he can wax my legs, much less expensive.
as well she used to work at a salon that did man brazillian waxes, and hair backs, and all gross stuff! she hated it so she quit and works out of her basement and as a home cleaner.
she does massage, all types of waxing[women only~] and i think she does facials too.

the process of waxing is simple, you lie on your back and are waxed.
she'll tilt your leg to get to everything, and then do the other leg, ankle up.
then she rubs you with a lotion that removes any excess wax so that you wont get stuck-
funny story that she told me about this. a woman tried to wax her own Brazilian and got... stuck together. if you catch my drift~ she then went into the bath to try to get it off and got stuck to the tub.
she had to pick the wax off, basically ripping the hair out slowly and painfully and rubbing the de-wax lotion all over her cootch.
wonderful huh?
okay anyway, she waxes the back of your legs and ta-da all done.
it takes about one hour.

it's now 9:15pm, i started my wax at 1pm[so finished at 2pm] and my legs are still a tiny bit red.
not like my skin is read, but my follicles are. it goes away completely in 24 hours but she said it should be less for me since my skin didn't get red from the wax.
so we'll see when i wake up.
it's almost gone already.

facts of waxing-
hair should be grown out for 6 weeks before waxing,
hair grows in three stages, you should to be in the third to wax
wax will not get all the air if it's not all grown out- hair in the 1st stage will not come out
you can't just go get waxed and walk out with perfect skin- your skin will be irritated after
you shouldn't put lotion on freshly waxed legs, or for 24 hours after. you don't want to clog your pours
don't get a pedicure after you wax your legs, the exfoliating scrub with BURN
don't shave off nair[not a waxing tip, just something she said she did when she was little and it ruined her idea of nair and hasn't used it since]
don't use strip wax on your bikini or brizillian, don't let someone use that on you, use cream wax

uhm
that's all i think
questions?
if you live in the Grand Rapids/Lowell/Charlotte area [there is a city called Charlotte near me x3] i can give you her number.

what to do when you spill something in your hair?

have you ever been out, at a club, with some friends, getting your legs waxed [lol] and you find you have something sticky in your hair?
spilled soda, food, something you don't know?
i have.
today i got soda in my hair from my sunglasses i haven't worn in months.
they had melted slurpee on them- and i didn't notice when i put them on.
when i noticed i had a spot of sticky in my hair.
i tried brushing it out, but no such luck.
so i tried something anyone can do in any bathroom.

step 1 isolate the sticky part of your hair, and lift it away from the rest
step 2 wet the area, but not the rest of your hair
step 3 using hand soap wash the sticky away, if it's a small spot it wont even look like you washed your hair with hand soap
step 4 rinse
step 5 comb hair and dry, use a hand dry blower like a blow drier if you have one

and ta-da, clean hair.
:3

will post leg waxing results soon.

Halloween

one thing that has always been a large part of my life is Halloween, from Nightmare Before Christmas to dressing up, all the way to trick-or-treating. i have never felt more happy than i do in the fall when the leaves are orange and the air is crisp.

and i am not the only one in this family who loves Halloween, my mother and i have always shared an obsession over this holiday, and if either of us had friends i'm sure we'd actually throw parties for it.
but since neither of us do- we decorate. not so much over the top for everyone else, but we spend a lot of money on simple things.

when i was a child i would watch Nightmare before Christmas about 3-7 times a week, i still do about once a week. but i show my love for it more through merchandise.
sweatshirts, pajama pants, dolls, snow globes, piano sheet music, kitchen set, plates, collectors DVDs and my new favorite- our town.
mom didn't know how many she ordered when she ordered them, but we have 13 pieces now.


the rest were in an area that was too dark to take pix, they are visible but my phone doesn't pick up on light very well.
they all light up, but none are plugged in right now. and they all come with one or two figures. as well those lights, the pumpkin ones that are standing like street lights, light up.
:3
it's so neat.
i plan to get a large glass table that is like a case so i can keep the town up always.
my snowglobes need a place to go as well.
:C

anyway, Halloween has always been my favorite. not only because of my sweet tooth, but because i get to wear whatever i like and no one looks at me strangely. no one cares. it's full acceptance and even some pride in being so well dressed.
i don't mind if people hate what i wear, i don't- but i adore being complimented on it. and i get more on Halloween than any other time in the year.
except cons...
^OO^

anyway, NBC is not my only Disney passion, i also have Disney Princess bath towels, shower curtain, calendar, tissues, boxes, coloring books, a bunch of things. but my new favorite is~

it's cheesy and made for PCs so some buttons don't have stickers. but it's cute.
c:

we have cheesy halloween decorations too.


we don't have many outdoor decorations, we look rather normal still. but idk why, i guess it's because we only spend big money on my NBC stuff. so no 40$ skeletons/gravestones for our yard.
when i have my own house <333

my mom and i had a coversation about what was scarier, ghosts of skeletons, we both decided ghosts were and that if i a skeleton attacked us we'd be more concerned with the smell.
^OO^
