Time to catch up...

Although I really should, I haven't quit blogging. I've been drafting posts and none of them seem to get the job done. I feel so far behind on just about everything. So if you're still sticking around I'll fill you in super quick on some of the things that have been happening in life. 

 I don't start school until the end of September because I have quarters (10 week classes) opposed to semesters (15 week classes). I've been working pretty much 7 days a week at both jobs. Exhausted? Beyond!

 I took one of those wine painting classes with my mom a few weeks ago.. I think it's obviously that I'm not an artist..

I've been single for a few months and honestly, I'm sick of dating. I'm considering just worrying about my own schedule and my own happiness. Maybe I should make a post this week about how much dating sucks.

I did meet a guy. Our first date was absolutely perfect and I laughed and smiled more than ever. We talk every day and I was finally feeling really happy. However, I don't know that I can deal with his job. I've been trying, but it's hard. Go figure. 

The dude I dated for 3 years came over one night a few weeks ago to drop off beer. That turned into a few hours of catching up and me realizing why I deserve better. I haven't talked to him since, except when he tries to brag about things I don't care about. 

I finally changed my hair color! I've been wanting to go red, but always did a temporary brown with a red tint. When it faded it'd be super noticeable. So I finally had the courage to go permeant. Here's a before and after...


It might be hard to tell from the picture, but it's more of the color that Chelsea from Teem Mom has. 

I've been so busy lately and really lacking motivation to do anything when I have a little bit of free time. I promise I want to be back on here more regularly, I've been saying that forever. But, I've had some time to think of blog ideas and I really want to get the ball rolling.

As always, thanks for sticking around!

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

How To Be A Fashion Blogger

From a non-fashion blogger. First. You’re going to find pants, a few shirts and any jewelry you can manage to find. Anything goes. Second. You must make your hair look like a character Dr. Seuss would create. Third. Get all awkward, set up your camera and be a little fashion trend setter! Make sure to include a tiny bit of your face. It adds to the overall quality of the photo. You also want to edit your photo, a LOT. This is not for Facebook. It’s for your FASHION BLOG.   Hold your waist to make it look like you’re so skinny you’re going to break… … Or whatever the reason that they do that pose..   A photo like this will show off a different angle of your outfit. You can tell your readers it was an accidental photo as you were leaving the house. Make them believe that this is what you wear to take the kids to school/walk the dog.   When wearing designer clothing ALWAYS show a proof picture of the label. Also, if you wear a size XS you also have to show a pi...
