I’ve been taking random pictures with my camera phone lately. These are pictures I usually Tweet out (Twitter). Some are posted, some I had too much to say for Twitter’s character limit.
Don’t expect great photos. All my pictures on here and my entire blog is from my Nokia N79 & Google Nexus One.
Thought I share with ya. ^^
All pictures clickable.

I am the perminator!! Did this a while ago. Spiral perms are soooo much fun! He he ugh…Took me forever! I didn’t even finish this one. If you didn’t already know, in beauty school, there are a certain amount of credits you need in each service (pretty much one credit per each service). Like mani & pedis, I need 20 (breeze). Hair coloring I need 20. Hair bleaching, 20. Perming & Relaxing…65. Ugh…
I thought to myself, maybe I should get one but with way bigger rods. My hair is so straight and bodyless. But I know if I were to get it, I would get sick of it after a week.

An updo I did yesterday. I think I’m okay at it…better than I thought I was. Wish I could do it to myself. I’m not good like that.

Color and partial foil application I did a week or two ago? Usually in school, we use deep conditioner to mimic bleach and gel to mimic color. It was fun using the real stuff. I did the color and highlights at the same time. The foils were alternated between bleach and color. I liked the technique my instructor, Brian showed. Applied color to a section of hair, put a foil on top of that with no folding of the sides, then weaved out a section of hair..applied bleach to that, slapped on foil..no folding of the sides, then applied color, foil, weave…apply bleach, foil, etc. I hate folding the sides in for highlighting, makes it a hassle to check if the lighting process if done.

Random pics of myself.

Car ride to further south of Naples. =)
My favorite pair of sunglasses. Got them from Urban Outfitters. My second pair of them. First pair broke, lost a screw in the sand on the Venice Beach, CA last year. Had to get other one. Like 15 bucks. Aviators are my favorite shape sunglasses. I think they work well with my face shape and I like the cushioning when it rest on my nose. Since the bridge of my nose is barely existence, I need thick/high/adjustable cushions.
What I wore to school for St. Patty’s day. The bow is actually Kiwi’s bow (my yorkie). Lol. I teased the crap out of my hair. You can’t really tell because I didn’t leave it all crazy high. (Pet Peeve: seeing girls with teased hair so high and poufy that the actual teased parts show. No Bueno!) After I was done, I felt like a teenagers. Lol. Texted my sister a picture and she thought I looked cute. I had my nails done too. Deleted the picture. I just had different purples on, five colors from dark purple to light.

Commander in Chic! My new favorite color to be obsessed with. It’s from Sally Hansen, Salon Complete collection. Gray + Beige = Greige. It’s a trendy color. I love it!!!!
Similar colors (lighter & darker): Essie in Mink Muffs, Chinchilly, and Jazz. OPI in You Don’t Know Jacques & Over the Taupe

Kiwi not liking car rides.

Only recently did Kiwi start panting because it’s getting warmer. She’s soo fricking cute when she pants. Her tongue cups. ^^ When she’s not panting, she looks like a mean, stuck up bitch. Lol. When she does pant, she looks innocent, sweet, and playful.
Agh…she makes my heart melt.

I don’t see these flowers in MI too much at all. Just outside my apartment door.

Bad Kiwi. She had a little accident on a rug in the bathroom. I was pissed! And she knew it! So she tried to hide in the closet. Lol. I was soo angry, but smiled inside. Damn her and her cuteness!

Random nail designs I wore for like an hour and was tired of it. I was going to make a tutorial, but didn’t think it was worth it.

Kratos is badass! You may not hear from me for a while after this post. :P I am loving this game! Didn’t finish beating God of War 1 and 2 but after playing this…I don’t think I want to. the graphics are sweet and the fighting is awesome as always. The finishing moves are bloody and fun. Game is frustrating a lot of times, which makes is worth it. The weapons are great. The fighting sequences are better. The movie scene fighting is blended with the freestyle fighting more. There is alot more boobie action. I don’t mind it, but not a plus for me. Lol. I think the story line is good too. Kratos doesn’t show any mercy. If you betray him once, he’ll slice your throat if you ask for forgiveness. Lol.
After you beat the game, you can play it with armor collected from all the Gods you’ve beaten. There’s different levels of difficulty of course.
Definitely a game worth getting!

Got a new toy for Coop. He started playing with it for a few minutes and the back started to tear. Whoever sewed it, didn’t do so well. I never took any sewing classes (In junior high school, we had Tech Ed [learned about pulleys and levers type stuff] and Home Ec), but I can sew a button on or fix a tear. So I sewed the back up. Then I decided to sew a heart on it. :P Cute huh? I’m quite proud of it for not having any real sewing skills. Got the idea that maybe I could make dog toys. Maybe…

There’s so much I want to do…*sigh.

School work: clipper cut (which I really like), fingerwaves & pin curls (pain in the ass), and one of the many updos I did this week (fishtail braid, chignon, knot).

At the beginning of beauty school, I didn’t have any confidence on my skills of doing hair. Today I did a gradual cut with a razor (the bob that’s stacked in the back & longer in the front and sides). It came out really good. =] Who knows, maybe I’ll want to do hair after I’m done with school. I’ll be the go to girl! Lol. You could get your nails, hair, and makeup done by me. Chang-ching.

EDIT: The bracelets were made! Not from Urban Outfitters. Wow, makes me love them even more!!!!!

Don’t worry…I’m not going to blog about every single day of beauty school. School is never boring, but I don’t want to bore you so much with just beauty talk. Lol.

Today in school, we continued on doing manicures and pedicures to each other. I received a pedicure. Did two manicures and 6 people’s nail designs. I love nail art. I got credit for the nail designs as manicures. =) Really happy about that. I brought all my nail goods to class; it was cute seeing everyone doing designs on each other. I got to know more about everyone. All the girls are really cool.

Tomorrow, working with hair. Yess. I wanna learn some more!

After school, came to some packages my BF and I received from a very special person. ^-^

I love them! I love these colors. I’m guessing these are from Urban Outfitters? Came in those boxes. My favorite store!
I also received a book, “It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be,” by Paul Arden.  It’s funny because I already had this book. But I lost it a year ago. Lol.
Thank you Beckie!!!!!!!!!
Muah!

I just watched the movie, Hangover. Yeah, I know. I’m a little late on watching it. Another movie I haven’t seen yet…Slumdog Millionaire. I’m stubborn sometimes when it comes to movies. Usually when a movie comes out, and people tell you it’s a great movie, you’ll go see…even if didn’t look like a great movie in your perspective. Me, when I see a trailer, and it doesn’t catch me, I simple don’t watch it. And the fact people say, “OMG, you just have to go watch _____!” I still don’t. I’ll wait until it’s on video at Blockbuster. I still don’t watch it until there’s nothing else to watch over “that” movie. I know. I’m weird, stubborn, blah blah. The movie, The Hangover, wasn’t a movie I just had to watch at the theatre. It was a real funny though. Lol. The cast was hilarious! Especially Zach Galifianakis, who played Alan in the movie.

Nom nom nom nom nom. Eating Sour Patch Kids right now. >.<

Today was a slow day. All day we did manicures and pedicures for each other. I only did two manicures today because I was used as a hand model for three other girls. Since I did nails, they wanted me to be the model so I can correct them.
I did some sweet abstract nail designs on a few girls.
I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be a little crazy. I’m bringing my nail polishes (48 colors) and striping paints (25) to class. I have like five people that called dibs on me to do their nails. I might as well do a quick manicure for them to get credit for it. We have to do 20 services of either manicures, pedicures, or nail extensions. That will be real easy since we don’t have to nip cuticles. Maybe I can do my 18 manicure/pedicures credits all by tomorrow. Lol. I wanna get it over with.
I really want to get into the fun stuff…hair coloring, makeup, facials…anything but nails. Lol.
I don’t mind doing nail art though. Love it.

Our instructor has his computer hooked up to a projector screen. I got to show the class and other students on the floor this blog. In my gallery I have some nail designs I’ve done on clients and for myself. Everyone was amazed and told me I should go to nail shows. I’m not good enough yet to go there. Maybe one day. I want to learn 3D nail art and Japanese style nail art. That would be hot. :]

I’ll have more tutorials on nail designs soon. In the meantime, check out this site: Nail Art Vending Machine. The BF showed it to me from CrunchGear. Pretty neat.

Beauty School: Cozmo, The School. Bonita Springs, FL

Today was the first day of beauty school. It was totally not what I expected. I thought we were just going to get our books, have an introduction to the school, introduced ourselves to the other classmates, and talk about sanitation and the boring, yet vital stuff like that. Well, we did all of that and so much more.
Right when I got into the school, I got my kit. Then the newbies [just me and two other girls] joined another group of people. Most were newbies a couple weeks ago and the rest were close to graduating. While they were learning the man haircut, we went through our kit to make sure everything was there.

The kit was like Christmas morning. Our stuff was in a big booty duffel bag. Our official kit box is on backorder. I bet this is one of the most exciting parts of beauty school for most people[receiving your kit]. There is sooo much stuff. Three model heads with human hair in three different textures [they're a little scary]. Cutting shears, all kinds of combs, hair dryer, two clippers, straightener, curling iron, clips, etc.

Meet Debbie, Michelle, and Ms. Suzzi-Kin. When I got home, I showed Cooper [our dog] the ladies. LOL. He would not stop barking at Michelle. Lol. And he kept a safe distance from them.

Right after we were done, the instructor [he's really cool] told us to grab “Debbie”, cutting shears, and comb. We learned to do the blunt cut. I thought, “Wow, we get to cut hair on our first day? Sweet!” So the first half of the day, the newbies and I learned about sectioning, shear & comb placement, elevation, apex, etc. It was actually pretty easy.

The next half of the day, we learned about manicures. Easy for me since I already know how to do nails. I just don’t know the terms for a lot of stuff anymore, like bacteria and nerves. I have a pretty sweet nail design right now. The instructor really liked it and had to tell everyone in class about ‘em. I felt my face get hot and red. Lol. The last half an hour, everyone got to know the newbies. We each spoke about why we want be in the field, our hobbies, blah blah. And we also got to learn about the girls already there. Everyone was pretty cool. :]

These are the nails I’m rocking how. Abstract Purple. I love this look!
Tutorial later. Very very easy. No use of striping paints. I gotta study now :]

Tomorrow, doing manicures.
Oh yeah…got my thousand dollar off my tuition. Aww yeah.

I’m already loving this school.
^-^
