So I had yet another nail art night!!!! This time I went all out. 4 polishes.
-O. P. I. "Got the Blues for Red"
-Cult Nails "Ay Poppy"
-Essie "Mint Candy Apple"
-Butter of London "Slapper"
Now when I said I went all out, I mean ALL out. Too much time on Pinterest, shaky left hand, and way past my bedtime...what do you get?! Lovely nails, that's what!
So on my pinky I have two kitties
On my ring finger some scalloped layers
On my "road rage" finger ;) roses
On my pointer, my personal favorite, a Peter Pan collar blouse
And lastly, my thumb, with some adorable daisies!
Okay lovelies! I spent all my energy on my nails so off to bed for me! Sweet dreams!
My nails of course! Essie "Snap Happy" red and Essie "Bikini So Teeny" blue with a white bow and a rhinestone! Nail art is awesome. I have to buy some tools and then I will start posting my nail art with pictures throughout the process! I'm very into nail art right now and I'm obsessed with biking! I desperately want a mint green cruiser!!!!!
Okay friends! It was a short one today so hopefully I get hit with some inspiration here soon!
Good morning all! It is extremely early and I happen to have a few minutes of spare time (I'm at work!) I am glad to announce that my hair is officially long enough to wear in a high ponytail/bun! The vintagey kind of course! I seem to have a love-hate relationship with ponytails because they can be cute, but it's very easy to slip from cute to trashy. If my hair goes up, the ends are curled! I also think very highly of ribbons and clips to jazz up an otherwise quite dull hairstyle!
I'm not big into product because I don't like feeling as though my hair isn't clean and my hair gets oily after one day. So, therefore, products are only used on freshly washed hair and only certain products, yes I'm particular! I love, love, love John Frieda Frizz Ease Finishing Creme! It is my go to hair product! It smooths frizz and separates soft curls for that oh so romantic look you were totally aiming for! Hair spray is a different story. I only use hairspray if my hair is up and my bangs won't stay down. I spray from a good distance and only enough to get the job done. Here's a tip ladies, if your hair is shiny with hair spray you have used too much! It shouldn't look like the top of your head has water in it all day and the rest does not! Another good product is Lush R & B Hair Moisturizer. I only use it on curled hair and only on the ends. It gives my curls an extra little bounce and smells divine!
Alrighty, that covers my favorites when it comes to hair products, so until next time, au revoir!
Hello dears! I once again have slacked in the blog department, but oh well! I'm back! I made a mint chocolate torte today! Can you say delish?! Yesterday I went to the farmers market and got some lovely flowers! Sweet dreams lovelies!
Oh how difficult it is to be a lady!!! This morning I woke up and got ready just the same as I always do and I look horrible! My makeup looks disgusting, my shirt won't hold an iron, my outfit is cute, but looks terrible on today, wtflip?! I hate when I look terrible! I do not understand. Okay. There's my little rant!
So, my bad habit of not posting has gotten the best of me once again! Forgive and forget right? Sure, why not!
Thanks to Miss Victoria I have a huge problem. What's the problem, you may ask. Well she has gotten me extremely obsessed with Scandal. Like way too obsessed. Like stalk Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn obsessed. Why, Victoria, why???!!!! Because you love me and we are at our most awesome when we have some awesome tv show to obsess over, so thank you best friend!!!!
Speaking of Victoria...drumroll please! SHE'S GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right! To Mr. Shane! Yay!!!!!
How comforting is it to know that after the worlds longest day of work you can curl up in a comfy chair, in an adorable pair of flannels, with a glass of milk and a piece of chocolate on hand, whilst watching "You've Got Mail?" Well I will tell you now...Very comforting. Life is exhausting! Why does it seem so incredibly difficult to enjoy such simple pleasures, like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks falling in love on more than one occasion? I, for example, wake up before the crack of dawn, I work until past dinner time, and get up and do it all over again! And yet, when the work day is over and I can do what I please, my mind will not shut the heck up! So, here I sit, enjoying my pajamas, my milk, my chocolate, and my movie. I refuse to let all the concerns of the day spill into my night! I refuse to let 2014 suck! I refuse to listen to any ones crap and let it encroach into my already complicated life! Suck on that life. Happy New Year everyone!
I received a brand new television (yes I could say TV, but television sounds far more vintage and dapper) for Christmas and have not yet hooked up the cable box, so all I have currently is a cheap DVD player with a stop, pause, and play button. I recently finished watching Julie & Julia, which I've seen before, but now all I want to do is cook and look like Amy Adams. Now I can cook, but the odds of me ever resembling Amy Adams is less than none. Oh well, screw it!
Okay, until I get another wind of inspiration, so long blogesphere.
So if I were to write all of the things I find less than proper and classy then this post would go on for days, but I'll pick a few and maybe add some more later! This was inspired by something I saw at Safeway yesterday. First on the list is what occurred in the supermarket to my dismay!
1. Drinking a beer and yelling "which ice cream should we get him?!" Whilst doing your grocery shopping. Let me tell you right now, if you are drinking beer at the grocery store than you have a serious etiquette problem and most likely a drinking problem...yes I'm judging you.
2. Playing with toys at the store if you are over the age of 10...I am specifically referring to those giant bouncy balls in the huge metal bins. If you are 15 and playing with them you are a loser...if you are 40 then you are a loser and trash.
3. All fashion trends of young girls. No, believe it or not I don't want to see your derrière hanging out of your shorts/skirt/dress and no I don't want to see ninety percent of your boobs sticking out from your top. Cover it up ladies.
3. Different colored roots and or multi colored hair. If your natural color is starting to come back through your roots it's time to dye it again. Yes, we notice. If you have blonde hair with brown and black streaks or any version of such you automatically look like a druggie. Pick a color people.
4. Smoking. I don't even think it needs explanation.
5. Using *cough, cough* choice words. You sound disgusting! Buy yourself some soap and wash out that mouth of yours!
Okay, there's five, I have plenty more, but this shall do for now! Tata for now my friends!
So my mama really needed a pedicure and I'm never one to pass up a pedi! We always go to this junkie little place ran by some really rude Asians...I'm Asian so it's all good, but oh my gosh these people pretty much bark at you to pick a color and then they proceed to ignore you while talking (yelling) to their family members in a different language!!!!! Wtflip?! On the flip side, they do a pretty good job for cheap! Good enough for me! I may spend a fortune on my hair, but my nasty toes don't deserve such treatment! Au revoir lovely's!
So I got bangs...yay? No. Not yay. The complete and total opposite of yay in fact...
I went to my favorite salon ready for an amazing haircut because if I'm going to pay forty bucks plus a tip I expect amazingness. They always do a good job...ALWAYS!!!! So what the flip happened?! I got a newer hair stylist, my usual one moved. So I really wanted Zooey Deschanel bangs! I have basically the same hair type, just not as long! Plus, my hair is about as close as I'm going to get to looking anything like Zooey Deschanel because I am well Asian. So basically I have very few options in looking like Miss Deschanel.
I showed my stylist, who was very nice and did a fantastic job on my trim, a picture:
I then said I wanted long bangs, below my eyebrows, full, and not blunt. I told her I want them to be very flirty rather than modern looking fringe crap (not in that exact context, I swear I wasn't rude!) and I wanted pieces on the sides that are shorter than my actual hair, but quite a bit longer than the bangs. So she said "okay no problem, I'll cut them at your eyes and then you can show me how much shorter you want from there!" Perfect, I think, great plan.
Well apparently we just screwed the plan because she did no such thing. She just went for it. The results?
Short, man, mullet bangs. MULLET BANGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wtflip?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate them!!!! I almost cried! What to do, what to do??!!! She cut too much on the sides to pin them up, too short to put a headband over, too short and weird to leave down, I have no options. These are no where near Zooey Deschanel bangs. I am thouroughly upset about my hair!!! I suppose I'll have to wait until they grow. Joy. Perfect for the girl who's hair grows at a slugs pace. Oy with the poodles already.
Well, in honor of my hair idol, for our song of the day:
I love this song and learned it on the ukulele, so at the very least I can play the same instrument as her.
So, as far as my hair goes, it's pretty good. It's thick and healthy, however, I am so bored with it!!!! Why don't you get it cut then Kayla?? Well because, my hair grows at the pace of a snail. I have been trying to grow it out for years!!! I get bored with my hair and cut it and then I wish it were long!! I also have a habit of getting bangs, which I'm debating right now, and then I end up hating them...and why shouldn't I?! Bangs are so much work and 8 out of 10 times you have to pin them back because of how crappy they look!!! Does this rant at all change my mind?? Nope. I still think I need bangs! Why? Because I am a girl and girls get bad haircuts that don't seem bad until after you get them. Oh well...I suppose I shall put up a picture if I end up getting bangs, otherwise so long for now!
So I can't put a video on here from my blogger app so a picture will have to take place of the song I wanted to put up!!
So I made another blog! Yahoo! It is called Cupcakes! & Cookies! & Cakes! Oh My! Which is my blog solely devoted to my baking obsession!! Check it out my dears! cupcakescookiescakesohmy.blogspot.com
So...it's been a while, surprise, surprise! We have been in the process of moving house which took two months!!! That's right two months of suitcases and hotels my friends!! We are finally in the new house and I am so glad! I have my own bathroom, hoorah for that!! Trying to unpack, but I've got a lot of crap so... My mom and I are making a trip to Sacramento for some good old Ikea awesomeness!!!!! Yes please! So once I get a bookshelf, I got rid of mine, then unpacking will be much easier!! Anywho! I'm typing this on my phone so until these hands can get to a normal size keyboard, ta ta for now my dears!
Okay so I realize that I had previously said that I was committed to writing on my blog regularly, but you must realize something: I lead and incredibly boring life. I work and sleep and that is literaly it! I talk on the phone with Victoria for like three hours! That is a ridicuously unhealthy amount of time to talk to one person...my response to anyone who may think that: Suck it. Anyways, the point is that if I did write on my blog regularly than it would be so dull that even I would fall asleep and that takes a lot!
So...since my last post I have gotten my hair cut
Gotten a Kate Spade purse and wallet
And joined the iPhone group...I resisted, but I mostly wanted to use my Kate Spade iPhone case!
Anywho, I promise to give a good update on the everchanging, odd life of Kayla in the near future!
Okay, let the rant begin. Why is it that every time an overweight person, a homeless person, or someone who isn't particularly pretty auditions for competition shows (i.e. The X Factor or America's Got Talent, both stupid shows might I add) the judges and audience acts so shocked, I mean incredibly wowed by their talent? I don't watch these shows, but every so often a video will show up on Yahoo or Comcast that captions "Inspirational Video!!" Let me tell you, it is not any more amazing to me to see a 400 pound person sing any more than it does to see a 100 pound person sing! Last time I checked, one's level of beauty does not measure one's ability to sing, or dance, or oh I don't know, succeed!!! Geez. People are idiots.
Alright, on a lighter note, Song of the Day:
It was on How I Met Your Mother so obviously I'm putting it up here! Granted it was on when Ted and Robin break up, which is like the worst because, let's face it, we all secretly wanted her to be the "mother" Don't pretend you weren't wishing it too!
I did it! I finished the bathroom! It only took me three weeks, but hey, I got it done! It is soooooo cute! Why should you trust me?? I have pictures!
The sink, with my Cranberry Harvest foam soap in honor of Fall!!
The shelves above the toilet with all my bath products lined up like a little boutique...and yes that box is filled with Lush products!
Little fleur de lis on every gray stripe!
My adorable pink ribbon flower towels!
Above the shower it says LE BAIN...
A closer look...
And the final product!
I am simply amazing.
Okay so Victoria and I are going on this fabulous trip to Ashland! We are staying in the cutest little bed and breakfast ever-the Historic Ashland Oregon Country Inn...the Ashland Mountain House!! It is so pretty...especially in the Fall...which is when we are going!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
Okie dokie...Song of the Day:
Victoria and I love this song. However, we unfortunately discovered it in the movie Hope Springs. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!! If you do see it you will understand my warning and you will have my annoying "I told you so," ringing in your ear. What you think is a heart attack is not. And what you think is an invasion of personal space, apparently, is not! Beware people of a world where old people doing gross things is considered a romantic comedy...beware.
Alright so when I made this blog I swore to myself that I would totally commit to it. I lied. I have, on several accounts, failed. So, in said case, I shall catch everything up.
Let's see...where did I leave off...Victoria-Utah, me-Western Oregon University, me-poor, blah, blah, blah...
Well...since my last post Victoria went to Utah, came back from Utah, I laughed, I cried, I became even more poor, I decided not to go to WOU, I moved back home, I got a job, I started painting the bathroom, I spent a large amount of money on candles that smell like bread, and have planned a fantastic trip to Ashland, where I will be meeting up with Victoria. Phew. If there were ever a time to quote Forrest Gump it would be now.
I am totally redoing our bathroom, which was brown...ugly tannish, brown...I am painting it gray and white stripes, with gold and pink accents...suck it HGTV. I will post pictures! Maybe. Give me a year. That's how long it should take me to take the pictures, load them into the computer, and put them up here. Hey. Don't judge.
Oh. I also got super obsessed with How I Met Your Mother. Which is awesome and sucky. Awesome because, well, it's an amazing show. The perfect Kayla-Victoria TV series. Why is it sucky, you ask...Well because...Victoria had this friend, let's call her...Todd Packer...no that's not it...I know: a cross breed between Todd Packer and Stanley Hudson...Stanley Packer. Yes. Anyways, so she had this friend, Stanley Packer, who also loves How I Met Your Mother...not a big deal, right? Wrong. Now if Victoria were ever to watch this amazing creation all she would think about would be "No Stanley! Barack is President! You are black!"...Oops. I meant, all she would think about is all the things Stanley Packer had previously said about How I Met Your Mother and it would put a complete downer on the amazingly funny awesomeness of it. So now I watch it and think about how much she would love it and telepathically scream at Stanley Packer for being such a...a...TOBY FLENDERSON!!! There I said it. Can't take it back. Stanley Packer is a big, stupid, idiotic, TV show ruiner, Toby Flenderson. I think that Michael Scott would understand. Okay. I'm done complaining. Maybe. Get back to me in about ten minutes.
Song of the day:
It was played during an episode of How I Met Your Mother and now I am required to buy the piano music for it. Oh, and in case Victoria is reading this right now, it was being played while Ted and a girl are dancing. Why is this important, you may be wondering...Well because. The girl is Emma, from Once Upon A Time. I hate Toby Flenderson. Toot-a-loo...
Yes I realize that I haven't written anything in forever, but what can I say?! I have some other priorities...
Now I am very "melancholy" (learned it in middle school and I thought I would reminisce) My very dear, wonderful friend Victoria is going away to Utah in two weeks and I want to cry!!!! It is awful! And not to mention the gift I am making her is very depressing and makes me want to cry!!!! It is really bad! Now we lived without each other when I moved so I am not worried, but it still makes me want to cry...sigh...
