Life Update

So its been like a year since ive been on here. I know thats horrible. But i wanted to do a life update and im hopeing to start writing on here more. So I am at a new salon yay!! I love it...Alot of unpleasant things happened at the other place and the move was a great choice...I work with women that have been doing this for years and are just mature and dont have drama. I am also looking for a second job.. I just really want to pay off some bills and quickly.. I would like to find a waitressing job because ive already got the experience and it would work best with my schedule..Im also currently taking a class online at the jr college.. its intro to sociology. Its been tough for me to stay focussed though and ive decided that this next semester i want to take classes on campus. I think it just helps me to stay focused... so thats my basic life update lol...im keeping my fngers crossed that i can keep up with writing on here :-)

New Tattoo!!!

Getting the tat done...

the final Result...

I got a new tattoo a few days ago...Its a rose and I wanted it to look as real as possible...the guy did an amazing job and I love it...it took 5 hours though so it was pretty painful...this is tattoo number six but all my others can be covered really easily and this will be my most vi sable one..i love it though!!!

I Finished My Room!!!!

Yay!! I have pretty much finished my room...there are still a few things that need to be done but overall its finished...it took a lot of work but I am in love with it and I feel so relaxed in here now.. In the first picture is an a ball that I got after Christmas on clearance at Target....I paid $.83 cents...

my parents made this shelf when I was little and it was just plain wood...i love it put wanted to give it a different look so I painted it the same brown as my trim and painted the pegs and braces with silver paint to make them look metal...then I taped craft paper to the backs of the hearts

this hutch holds my TV and laptop....

I found this chair at an antique store for fifteen dollars...The material has pinapples on it...its very differnt but i like it...i got the curtin at Ross for six dollars and behind it is shelves that hold my clothes since I don't have a closet

This is my wall of closets...I love how this turned out...i wanted to put paris stuff everywhere...Its my dream to go there someday....

The color on the walls is called timeless by the way...I hope you all like it...

I'm very happy with the way it turned out... XOXO Mandy

Getting Started on my room redo...

...so I have started to prime my walls in my room and it is a slow process cause I can't really move anything out of my room I have to just move stuff room wall to wall...But it is getting there...It was weird waking up and not seeing bright orange everywhere....i am going to try to finish priming today and then I will go buy paint for the walls....my mom ordered this really cool paint brush online and so I want to wait for it to get here before I start on the color...here are a few pictures mid priming...

Christmas Party....

...my moms Christmas work party was last night and she took me as her guest...we had fun there was a really good dinner and a band...and there was also karaoke...we always like to watch people sing and every now and then I will get up there and do it too....my step dad was also there as the photographer and so part of the time we sat in that room and it was pretty funny watching people get their picture taken once they were drunk...lol...i am still trying to work on my room and i think I have the paint colors picked out....so once i do some more work on it I will start posting pictures.....Here are some pics from last night.....xoxo

My Room Redo...

...so I have decided to redo my room...when i was in high school I painted my walls a deep burnt orange and decorated it with a budah, middle eastern theme and it was great...but now I just feel this strong need for change...my room if full of too many memories...not all bad but i feel like I need something different a fresh start....so the other day I took everything off my walls and now I am going to prep them for paint...i am thinking about a baby blue....I want to do baby blue and dark chocolate brown...anyway i will keep posting updates on my room renovations....I am putting up a pic of my sweet little puppy....his name is Mac Dre and he is like my child...whenever I am stressed he always makes me smile....xoxo

Thansksgiving weekend was nice....

...We had my grandma and my aunt and uncle and their kids over....we had a ton of food and it was all really good....we did some fun food too like my mom made a Chinese salad instead of regular green salad and my aunt made cream cheese poppers with bacon around them...Me and my mom also decided to make name plates for everyone this year...we used apples to hold up the cards....I hope everyone had a nice day too....Me and my mom also went Christmas shopping the next day and it was nice....we felt really tired but we got a ton of shopping done...it felt good to get a lot of it out of the way...i still have to get a few things but I really want to be able to enjoy Christmas this year and not stress about buying last minute....i have been overly stressed lately...My mom said I need to start doing yoga or something...lol...I have tried before and I love doing it but I am out of shape right now so I'm sure I will have some trouble doing yoga well....That's all for today...xoxo
