So I think I've discovered my "center of balance", and it's skewed to the right. I'm sure you noticed that I have a penchant for leaning/tilting to the side. I think my body feels more at balanced/normal that way. Weird I know.
Anyway, I'll address something a little more obvious. My name change, yes, again! I've been thinking about changing the title to Fashion FEM for awhile, since before my disappearance (and it might have had a hand in my absence to be honest).
As before the content will not change, although it will more closely follow my fashion and inspirations. I'll still do OOTDs, FOTDs, Trends etc. My current location doesn't allow me to properly execute some of my ideas, but once that changes I'll add those as well. Get EXCITED!
Here's my YouTube channel (click me), check it out too, Thanks again!
I thought I'd look back and make a list of some of my favorite things from 2012.
Some of these items jumped right out at me, and other I had to think about. You'll notice a couple repeat offenders, I am an addict, and also some more recent trends and addictions.
These are in no particular order, but I did organize them (or attempt to) by category.
Click on the links to read/see more about it.
Studs and spikes have had real staying power these last couple of seasons. And I love it, they really toughen up a look. You can stud pretty much anything, collars, shoes, shorts, you name it. Here's a tutorial on studding shorts.
My most frequent attempts at a monochromatic look usually involved all black, but this winter I want to try all whites and of course other colors, but especially white. This also applies to prints. I've been really into matching prints, like with suits. That's a really easy way to achieve the look too.
Beauty
Vampy lips (here, here and a majority of my OOTD)
Afro/curly hair (here, here and here)
Ombre hair (with or with out colored ends)
Revlon photo ready concealers
Mario Bedsecu Drying Lotion (here, review to come)
I LOVE dark vampy lips. It's become one of my go to looks no matter the occasion. I recently fell in love with Black Cherry by Revlon (see here) and I have a tutorial with it coming soon. Until then here's an ombre vampy lip.
Revlon's photo ready concealers (I'm a color 006) are amazing. This is one of the few concealers that actually match my skin and covers my dark marks and blemishes plus it's really affordable. I use it every time I put on make, or just by itself for a more natural look. I've started using a lighter color for under my eyes when I'm really getting glammed up. MB's drying lotion is amazing I just apply it to a new pimple at night and it has reduced in size by the next day and gone on the 2nd day. LOVE it!

Blogs have been a fabulous source of information and inspiration. I love networking and just meeting new people via blogs and who themselves blog. It is a great form of self expression. Here are some that I frequent (Circle of Squares, BGLH, Dulce Candy, Style Pantry and CurlyNikki, for a full list check out the blogs that I follow here or click on my profile).
This year was the first year I actually followed the election somewhat closely. I watched the debates, read up on the issues etc. I knew who I wanted to win, and who I'd vote for if I could (one day, SOON). Politics became interesting too, albeit stressing at times. But it's good to be informed, especially on the local and state level. Voting is not an every 4 year thing, you have governors, mayors, representatives etc. Make sure you guys are doing your part!
DIYs!! I love them. They are great ways to save money and an outfit. I think I'm more into DIYs now that I started sewing (which helps with some of the projects). But you guys should definitely check out places like YouTube and Pinterest for ideas.
Honorable mentions
The Mayans being wrong (Epic Fail)
Crop tops (here)
Stiletto nails
Avengers (the movie)
Glitter
I know I'm not the only one happy that the world didn't end the 21st. But the Mayans were smart, they predicted the world would end, but died before anyone could question them about it. Stiletto nails just look really cool to me, despite not appearing functional or practical, in my opinion. I'd never get them but I enjoy looking at them and seeing different nail design on them.
Hope you guys enjoyed this post, because I enjoyed writing it.
What were some of your favorites this past year? Any of them on this list?
Comment and let me know.
My bad it's been a while since I've posted anything. BUUUUUT school is my priority at the moment no worries though I'm still here.
I've been following this blog for a year or two now, not really sure why it's taken me this long to share it with you guys. But this post below touched on a lot of my feelings now, especially as a post grad, and more importantly as a post grad trying to get into professional school.
I thought it was kind of an encouraging post in a round about way. I felt that I wasn't the only one feeling the way I did about school (and life), being able to see others struggle and still know its going to eventually be worth it. Especially if I had an outlet in the mean time, creativity (in my case sewing, designing and art in general).
Life after graduation has taught me a few things…namely:
1. Job Searching Sucks.
I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago (insert link). It’s
actually pretty damn tedious and it makes me upset. I’ve said it before
and I’ll say it again, after I receive my first job I have no intentions
on ever applying for another job again. Every subsequent needs to come
by way of recommendation.
2. Financial Aid Gives False Hope.
I started college when I was 17. I graduated from law school at 26.
In those nine years, I only spent TWO years outside of school. It’s such
an odd feeling to realize five digit sums of money will not be hitting
my bank account three weeks after school starts. There should be a
weening process. You can’t just cut me off the titty like that.
3. Staying Home Is Awesome…
As long as you can afford to. The one month after bar prep and the
exam where I stayed home and did nothing was the most relaxing month of
my life. I slept all day. Played video games all night. Money was always
an issue, but I bought myself some time. You know what staying home
proved? I really need to make sure I save money so I can do that more
often.
4. Nobody Does This Alone.
I don’t think I fully understood the purpose of networking until I
finished with school. Networking has always been a dirty word to me.
Whenever I hear network, I think “people I don’t really want to be
friends with who I need something from who will only talk to me because
they need something from me.” I learned a network can be filled with
family. Friends. Supervisors. And more importantly, it can be filled
with people you respect and have a relationship with OUTSIDE of just the
situation I just listed before.
5. Life Will Break You If You Let It.
This is an old lesson, but becoming more relevant by the day. Bad
things will happen at the worst possible times. And just when it seems
like you’re getting ready to climb out of the hole, quicksand will rain
from the sky and you’ll fall even farther than you did before. Not to
be overly optimistic, but Finding Nemo’s “just keep swimming” has this
nailed perfectly. All you can do is move forward and tackle one problem
at a time.
6. There’s No Such Thing As “Regular” Qualified.
This, is a bit harder to swallow. My education is both a gift and a
curse. I can’t work at certain places anymore because, well, they know
I’d leave the first time I got a better opportunity. Conversely, the
places where my degree DOES qualify me for the job, the lack of
experience kills me.
It’s an odd position to be in. I’ll never be qualified if I don’t get
the opportunity to work. I’ll never get the opportunity to work, if I’m
not qualified. And I can’t even support myself with a lesser position
until I CAN get an opportunity to work, because…they’d rather hire
someone who isn’t as qualified as I am to work there. Insane.
7. Failure Is Not An Option…It’s Mandatory.
Successful people will tell you they learned far more in failure than
they did in success. I see this mentality a lot…failure “not being an
option.” I’ve learned to treat failure as a necessary part of my growth.
In order to learn things I must do, it’s only fitting to learn about
the things I shouldn’t do. Success breeds safety, stale ideas, and
stagnation. Failure is where all the fun is. I no longer perceive
failure as me losing something. I just look at it as another opportunity
to learn.
8. Life Doesn’t Stop.
Another obvious one, but also relevant to my current situation. In my
mind, I always go back in time and think about what I could’ve done
differently. The networking events I could’ve gone to. The ass-kissing
that probably would’ve served me some good. How good life was BEFORE I
came to law school.
Pointless thoughts. My mind is living in the past, but my body is in
the present. No matter how much I lament for not making different
decisions in the past, life keeps moving forward
9. My Life Is A Movie. I’m the Producer/(Casting) Director/and Starring Actor.
I’m 26. I’ve been in school for 19 years. Eliminate the first four
years of my life (when I wasn’t school age), the two year break in
between FSU and NCCU, and I’ve spent my whole life planned around
school. Finally being out of it was a bit of a shock. I’m finally
holding the paintbrush to my life and I can paint this picture in
whichever manner I’d like. I can go anywhere. Do anything. Be whoever I
want. School no longer defines my life.
I do.
10. Writing Is the Most Important Thing In The World to Me.
I won’t tell you that I couldn’t care less about passing the bar. It
just doesn’t matter as much as writing does. Writing is what I do.
It’s who I am.
It’s how I live.
It’s what defines me.
It occupies the most space in my mind.
I express myself with written word in a way I don’t think I’ll ever
be able to express myself verbally. It consumes. It drives me. I’d love
to get paid to do this, but I’d do it for free for the rest of my life.
Writing is what God put me on this Earth to do. It’s my gift to the
world. And I’d be a fool not to share it.
Peace.
Thanks for stopping by and definitely check out RGR's blog. LOTS of pearls of wisdom to be gleaned.
It's nights like these that I wish I made YouTube videos (makeup tutorials). BUT since I don't I'll just watch a couple (...hundred, literally).
I really want to try BLUE lipstick...or some other random/"crazy" color. But I'm the proverbial "all dressed up and no where to do go" girl. So that probably won't happen anytime soon.
In the mean time check out these lovely ladies and their looks.
Tymetheinfamus- HIGHLY REQUESTED Rainbow Makeup Tutorial w Half Lashes!
I am an official graduate of the U. WOOT! wish they had a card you can carry in your wallet to show that you are a graduate.
It feels so good to be DONE! DONE! DONE!
No I did NOT throw my cap.
I took NO pictures of my graduation outfit [what I wore under the cap and gown]. I feel bad, I could have saved the dress and just gone naked. Just kidding. But I was surprised as the lack of care some people had for there appearance and dress on such an important day. To each his own I guess.
Side note: my hide your hair challenge is over! I'm facing a new issue, and that's getting back in sync with styling my hair. I might just carry out the wig wearing lol.
I've been super busy these past few weeks, seeing as this is my LAST SEMESTER IN COLLEGE!!! I've been finishing up classes, studying for finals etc etc so much in fact I've neglected the blog :(. I also had a friend over for the weekend a few weeks ago. There so much to update ya'll on but for now I'm gonna try and finish up school then I'll direct my focus this way, PROMISE.
This is like a rambling rant...but in my OOTD post I said that i wasn't gonna wear my leather jacket cuz of the cold/snow...turns out ALL of it melted!
Can you believe that, this place is so...I don't even know. If I hadn't seen snow on some cars I wouldn't have believed people that said it had snowed. Lets not forget the fact that it's the MIDDLE OF APRIL. I guess global warming isn't taking a back seat this year.
coming soon: Top 5 -Aholics & Hate is a Strong Word
My first set of "-aholics" this year, and they are
Netflix
Say Yes to the Dress
Natural Hair Blogs
Thrift Stores
Carmex
The first was a no brainer, I went from 1 Month Free Trial to subscriber. I've always loved Netflix, because my family has been members since forever ago, when the packages were better and cheaper. But my boyfriend and I a couple months ago decided to sign-up for our own account.
I have watched countless movies and TV shows, discovered new faves and reconnected with old ones. All in all a GREAT investment, esp since I can watch it on my TV and on whatever mobile [Wi-fi enabled] device I'm on. I'd definitely recommend it, at least the free trial.
Two thumbs WAAAAAAAAY up.
Say Yes to the Dress, for those who don't know, is a TLC show about a high-end Bridal boutique in NY [Kleinfelds, where I've officially decided I will buy my wedding dress from]. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show, I've come to the conclusion that I love everything wedding related.
This show is so addicting, I used to watch it on TV and get mad when I missed an episode or if a re-run came on. But now that I have Netflix I can watch all the seasons instantly AMAZING!
Natural Hair Blogs, well I'm natural so obviously reading them is a benefit to me. I can refer to these blogger for info on products, hair styles etc. all without have to inconvenience myself with the whole "trial and error" thing. It's fantastic, plus I meet a lot of new people on the blogs and interacting and learning about other peoples hair journeys is great.
Some that I read and follow faithfully
Number four, what more can I say. I love bargains, and some of the best places to find bargains are at Thrift stores. You can find great things from 80's jewelry, over-sized men's sweaters, vintage wedding dresses and REAL fur coats [sorry PETA] just to name a few. Check out my next haul post for some stuff I picked up recently. You can try:
GoodWill
Salvation Army
St Vincent de Paul [my personal fav]
Garage sales
and others
Seeing as it's winter, well sort of, dry lips are a problem for me. I hate having dry lips, I can never focus if my lips are chapped and Carmex has been my savior these past couple of weeks [I lost my Cherry Chapstick].
My lab partner told me that the reason Carmex was so addicting was because they put glass fibers into the chapstick preventing other lip balms from working. I'm a little skeptical but you never know these days.
What are some of your latest addictions? What do you think of mine?
To say it's been a while would be an understatement. But I am back, and that's all I think matters, right? Right.
Any who I have LOTS to say and do so I'll jump right in...in the NEXT post. Lol, promise I'll be back though.
I'm looking to revamp my page [layout]. But it's been so long I don't know if I even still know how to do all of that.
Regardless, its good being back. Next post will be a haul [Target and Thrift store, which I might return too today].
Have you ever Googled it before, the word love? I was bored one day and did. There is a wealth of info online. Man it’s so easy to find stuff out. But anyway…This is what I found.
/lÊŒv/ Show Spelled [luhv] Show IPA noun, verb, loved, lov·ing. –noun
1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. sexual passion or desire.
4. a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.
5. (used in direct address as a term of endearment, affection, or the like): Would you like to see a movie, love?
[there was more, as expected, but here’s the link dictionary.com]
i think two is enough, but in my search i stumbled upon a wikiHow to on LOVE…man the internet is such a useful resource, was gonna give examples of love…but i think i’ll just include the how too [and a link at the end]. ok ok i’ll include a couple examples.
How to love
Love is both an action and a feeling. The action of love generates a blissful feeling called by the same name. When the action stops, the blissful feeling is replaced with pain. Every person is capable of great love (and its opposite, fear, which generates all painful emotions such as hate, greed and jealousy).
While there are many different ways to define love and there are many different ways to love someone (or even yourself), here is a general guide to loving.
Steps
Say it. When you say the words "I Love You", they should carry with them the desire to show someone that you love them, not what you simply want to feel. When you say it, make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person.
Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Rather than impose your own expectations or attempt to control them, to understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well.
Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others). If your interest is not in the other person as such, but rather in how that person can enhance your experience of life, then it is not unconditional. If you have no intention of improving that person’s life, or allowing that person to be themselves and accepting them as they are, and not who you want them to be, then you are not striving to love them unconditionally.
Expect nothing in return. That doesn't mean you should allow someone to mistreat or undervalue you. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Try loving just for the sake of love. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you; do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have. Think how lucky you are to have someone to love. Don't make an idol of the person you love. This will place them under undue pressure and will likely result in you losing them.
Never stop loving. Even if you have been hurt before you should not stop giving love.
my thoughts on all this…love is fricken complicated, and i hope i don’t fuck it up :/ [the internet provided very little help in practice, but research wise it was]
E as in excitement, not empty or ecstasy (although that doesn’t sound to bad, not the drug, but the feeling, i don’t do drugs).
I was shopping with my mother today. Had fun and literally bought a truck load of stuff for my room & bathroom. My color scheme is red/burgundy, cream and brown-y-black. Think Parisian/flapper themed posters etc. I haven’t gotten any paintings and knick-knacks to tie in the room, but I will once I’m settled. I’ll probably stray from the theme, just cuz that’s how I am, but that’s ok.
Today is my mother’s birthday she’s in her late 40’s and I baked her a cake. I’m so sweet, just like the cake was mmm. It’s sad that the ONLY baking I did all summer was the night before I left. I LOVE baking. I’m not really a cook, if you give me a recipe I can follow it and it’ll turn out great, but I can’t cook from memory yet. Just a week or two ago my mom taught me how to make stew and jellof rice [Nigerian cuisine] so that I could make it when I got to school. Can you image, I’ve been eating this stuff since I was a baby and I’m JUST now learning to make it. But it’s a good thing I don’t only intend on marrying a Nigerian man, cuz he’ll be sorely mistaken if he thinks I’m the only one going to be cooking.
But yeah, we shopped till we dropped, mostly from hunger. Then got our nails done. Two of my nails are chipping from all the hard labor that I’ve done since I got home :( [I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS].
Just got off the phone with my bf, and while I was talking to him I googled this light bulb that I need for my lamp. SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I SHOULD PAY $30 FOR A FRICKEN LIGHT BULB! I can buy a whole NEW lamp for that much, GEEZ! If I don’t get a new lamp, I’ll just make my dad pay for the bulb since HE bought me the lamp. MAN!
I’m leaving at 5:30pm and won’t get to the cities till around 8pm…then there’s a party my friends and I want to go to at 11pm…WOW I have no time to do what I need to do.
Anyway I’m going to go start my laundry and trudge through the mess I call a room…
Next post…Top 5 AHOLICs (hopefully, I have the list just have to detail it…to lazy)
So finally, after having had a FULL basket this whole summer on forever21.com I actually ordered some of the stuff I wanted. I’d waited so long that a lot of the stuff that was originally there went out of stock :( but I totally love what I got. I already have a lot of clothes and as I’m getting older, I want to acquire clothes that will reflect that maturity [for the most part anyway, because I LOVE sneakers and tees]. I also want things that will work with items I already have and that are still MY style.
Basically I LOVE Forever 21.
LOVE it, (cuz I actually would)- SALE $6.99
Imagine with royal blue or mustard colored leggings & jewelry- $19.80
Love button downs over skinnies or leggins- $10.50
What can I say, if these don’t make my butt bigger then I don’t know what will [my butts not all that small]- $17.80
I do think he’s lovely, and HOT, I’d DEFINALTY baROCK Obama’s world (LMAO I’m a mess)- $19.00
***My opinions on President Obama’s attractiveness have nothing to do with my political affiliation. I don’t “affiliate” with any party, mostly because I can not vote [I am 20, BUT only a permanent resident of this country and not yet a citizen] so don’t misinterpret my statement above.***
LOVE the color and the print- SALE $8.99
adore the safety pin detail, grey is such a pretty color- $17.80
So cute, <3 ruffles- SALE $14.99
Total=$115.87 [thank you F21 for free shipping!]
That’s not bad compared to what it started out as at the beginning of summer [over $400!].
To bad that’s not all the shopping I'll be doing…still need to order those Creative Recs [below]!!!
And I WANT these next…
Mmm…off to bed. Shop till I drop! And I have another day of apartment shopping with my Mom to look forward to tomorrow. YAY!
Retail Therapy works wonders, even if you don’t have any problems at the moment.
“…so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night…”
Went to the fair today with a hometown buddy. I had fun. We won a goldfish and named him Sexpot [after me ;)]. He’s of mix decent, cuz she’s white and I'm black, but he’s a trooper and he’ll adjust well to his new environment. He already has to brothers Spike and Silver, so he won’t be lonely. I love that I’m talking about him, not even sure the gender, like he is really actually thinking these things.
Anyway fair food is amazing [-ly overpriced], I had funnel cake [YUM], freshly cut fries and gyros [first time].
Me and Lil Saint [my friend] got heckled by the carnival workers to play the games. At THOSE prices [naw], plus i didn’t bring that much cash because I didn’t want to waste it at the fair [that and I dropped nearly $125 on clothes from forever21.com earlier today]
food is great [though expensive]
games are ok
stay away from rides [I”m afraid of heights]
carnies are kinda scary
Over all I had an a good time. Looked good and bonded wit my girl Lil Saint and G-Baby [me] 4 life. <= If you’ve seen Hardball and You Got Served you’ll know who those people are.
So ya’ll are probably like DANG this girl is STILL up…yeah…I know!
Blogger is on my –AHOLICs list, same with Twitter and Facebook all of which are demanding my attention at 3AM.
But this is just a short post.
I didn’t want my only Sept posts so far to be so negative, not that the first one was. But I did complain a lot in it. [It’s Face from Nick Jr ==>]
Don’t expect a lot, if any more post like “I refuse to RIDE jocks…” that was just me reacting to various things I guess. I’m not “mad” at anyone or whatever. Just find the way things [often by the media] are perpetuated to be uncalled for and disheartening. Has anyone ever seen the movie Paparazzi? Watch it. Yeah it’s all very unfortunate.
There are more important things in life, and yeah, my blog might be right there with all other superficial things, but this is just for fun. I have other passions, concerns etc [I’ll do a blog about some eventually].
I don’t know. Thought I’d get that off my chest. I’ve been doing a lot of unloading (lmao).
I was going to include a picture of someone pooping, but it would be too vulgar and just plain GROSS. Then I thought about pix of the paparazzi, and I found it funny that there are so many pictures of the THEM, lol.
“dropping some brown friends off as sea” <= LMAO, not really, thought it was funny and appropriate for the situation (if you don’t get it means TAKING A DUMP, POOPING, TAKING A DOOKIE, SH*TING)
I'm not jumping on any kind of bandwagon thanks, you can go to the next stop with that one.
This is not to say that I don’t really like anyone/styles [Pink, Keri Hilson, lil Wayne, Beyonce, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, Marc Jacobs, 80’s etc etc] and obviously this is a blog about obsessions. BUT I am not obsessing over, addicted to, hating, loathing [or whatever] something just because everybody and they mama is doing the same thing. Not to say that some of my topics wont’ coincide wit fads, songs etc that are current BUT that’s not what it’s ALL going to be about. *I’m not saying it’s wrong to do jock or anything, it’s part of what people do, they see something and they react, and sometimes it the same reaction across the board. I’m just going to shy away from it, or keep it on the low.
My blog is going to be as chill and non controversial as it gets. WHY? Because that’s the kind of person that I am, i have my opinions on things, but I also like I spoke about in a previous blog refuse to shove my ideals onto others [see Urge to Regurge] . That ship doesn’t dock here, sorry. I’m not going to force anyone to like or dislike anything, just going to say how I feel about it and be done with it.
I’m not going to board the Rihanna loving, or Cassie hating train, thanks but no thanks. I didn’t like or dislike either of them and I'm still just as apathetic as I was before.
I will also NOT be carpooling with the Chris Brown haters. This might upset a lot of people. But, just un-FOLLOW this is my blog if it offends you that much. He is a human, just like the rest of us, he makes mistakes and isn’t perfect. He also apologized, which is good, so unless another body surfaces then people need to get off his neck.
Wasn’t Michael's molestation charges overlooked TWICE? Just asking, not that I believe or disbelieve [is that a word?] he did it the first or any other times.
Didn’t R. Kelly have a sex scandal with a 14 year old?
President Clinton…”I did not have sexual relations with that woman”.
Not to mention the NUMOUROUS sex tapes that LITTER the internet [Paris, Ray J, Kim Kardashian, Raven].
Not that those are all in the category as the beating, BUT they are all mistakes that these PEOPLE [they are people first THEN celebrities] made.
Chris has the misfortune of being in the spot light, what he did was wrong. there’s no if, ands, or buts about that. I won’t argue against that. Obviously, but he is not the ONLY person to do wrong, he just happens to be one of few who’s mistakes are broadcast across the world and has repercussions to a greater magnitude than say Joe Shomoe who raped and murdered Jane Doe.
Well quite obviously I’m confused and tired. Slept late last night, around 3 or something I don’t really remember. This morning woke up at 5AM to drive to Minneapolis to help my lil bro move into his dorm, he’s a freshman at the U of M [where I go as well]. Man it was a long day, my mom and I pretty much set up his whole room while he had to go do some freshman stuff.
It wasn’t the set-up that got to me, it was the shopping afterwards. And I know you’re all probably gasping at those “blasphemous” words [esp as an –AHOLIC] but this wasn’t any kind of shopping, this was apartment shopping with my MOTHER. UGH. Not only was she being her usual nit-picky, thinks she knows what “kids” my age want self, I also had to deal with my FRICKEN period [somebody ripe out my WOMB please], lower back pains, sore feet and not to mention the tiredness. GEEZ. My friends and I like to joke about how OLD we are getting and feeling. But I honestly feel more than a little geriatric (aka old) sometimes. I was folding some clothes on the floor and both of my knees and my back cracked EXTRA loud and painfully just from the effort of getting up.
Well I’ll quite my belly-aching, no worries. Anyways I’m happy with the stuff that I picked up today, still need A LOT more stuff though. I’ll defiantly take pix of my room & bathroom once it’s set up, who knows when that’ll be though.
I’m blogging from my new laptop! I’m so happy. I’ve had my previous one since junior year in high school [Christmas gift 2006]. But it was definitely time for an upgrade [thank you Daddy].
I don’t really want this post to turn into a diary entry, but I just feel like telling ya’ll about every minute detail of my day. I’ll fortunately refrain. I got back home an hour ago [12:30AM] it’s a 3 hour drive to the Cities [Minneapolis & St Paul] from where I live in lil’ ol’ WissCANsen [where the REAL happy cows are from.] UGH won’t even go into the drive home, which luckily I was able to sleep the majority of, with a stiff neck to show for it.
But let me not bore you with my complaints.
I’m probably going to sleep now, or read till I fall asleep. [Reading is definitely on the –AHOLICs list, I’m an AVID reader, of romances, all things Janet Evanovich, mystery, anthropological, fashion, gossip etc etc].
“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
I'm a big fan of the Style network, Oxygen and channels like that. I love watching all the wedding oriented shows. It gets me excited for MY big day, although I'm no where near getting married yet. That doesn't stop me from getting ideas, and watching others on their special days.

For the most part everyone make a beautiful bride, but then you might run across some people that are truly unfortunate. Not really that they aren't attractive, but that doesn't help matters. I don't think I can properly describe what I mean without having you see a clip of the shows that I've seen. But either way, brides are beauties and the grooms aren't half bad themselves. There's just something about weddings that touches my heart. I guess despite being so "tough" and cold and unfeeling as I claim deep deep deep DEEP down I'm just a softie <3 [yeah right].
BEFORE [hott] AFTER [just as hott]
Weaves, I'm only going to touch lightly on this subject, only because you saw a little of my opinion on them in my previous post. I enjoy weaves. I just recently started getting them, I tend to favor braids and kinky twists, but one of my BEST friends does it for me so when I'm in between those styles she hooks me up. I've only really done straight and long weaves, but I want to try shorter ones and even curly.
So remember in my first "anti"-aholic list how I included lists with less than three items. Well walking was how I completed this list because otherwise it would've seriously bugged me, plus I enjoyed the alliteration I'd created in the title. I struggled to come up with a third "W" word that I had been recently enjoying. Luckily I had my brother on had for that one. As a college student walking is an essential to getting by, literally. To get to class, or even the bus if you detest bipedal motion, etc. Being a lazy bum the only [well one of the only ;)] form of exercise I get is from walk/jogging/speed walking to class or the bus. And I've actually come to miss it this past summer, where I've been more lazy than usually (hard to believe I know).
I love how a seemingly random choice of words can turn into a ridiculously long post...but it is the "RAMBLINGS of a self-profess -AHOLIC" and not the "short, sweet and concise musing of a brainiac"
