Summer Quickie

-.-'
I keep doing this. Not updating. Well lets do a quick one full of info, some pictures, and love. :D

So officially I'm 18 and have graduated High School with an advanced diploma. (Even though I was 4 credits short of actually getting an advanced they gave it to me anyway haha. )
I had an amazing birthday/graduation party. Bunches of friends came. Just made my day.

It was full of my friends ;D We are some crazy people!

And of course amazing designed (Heather and I) cake!!
So That's the summer quickie. I'll start doing more. PROMISE!

Time.

Wow. It's been forever since I've been on my Blogger.
I suppose it's not really that surprising or anything. I don't have any followers either so I don't have to worry about much. My own self-disappointment is enough. D:

Sitting here realizing that I haven't uploaded pictures on my camera in a month is enough of a reality check that I've been neglecting things. All 118 of them are screaming to be edited and loved. I scream back that my hearts not big enough to love them all. God help me, but I can't!

I've finally finished High School! Done. Gone. Bye. William Fleming has never been so empty. Our graduating class is HUGE. All 320 or so of us are probably going to do the same thing in the future. Become mothers/fathers, have issues, get a job we hate, have more issues, live happy for a while, and then die. Pretty standard process for everyone involved if you ask me! I'm not graduating with honors which is kinda upsetting but I'm not going to let it get me down! NEVER!!!

Graduation is my 18th birthday and will probably be the largest crowd to hear me sing a solo in my entire life! 5000 or so people! Scary and exciting all at the same time.

Well I think for now I'm just going to post some random pictures from the past month where I haven't updated!

:D


On a daily basis I look like this!


Or this.

For our little groups prom. We went bowling. I did my hair and make up to look like a whore. Good job? lol

Another shot in different lighting.


Urinetown: The Musical! I'm about 40 shades darker from stage make up as well as Dylan. I've known this boy since 3rd grade! Wow~! Um, I'm playing Josephine Strong. Dylan is playing Cladwell B. Caldwell. Or is it the other way around? @_@ No one really knows!


Now onto pin up style.
I've been obsessed lately with pin up girl style! The very 40-50's sort of looks. Red lips. Defined eyes. Natural shades and pink cheeks. Gosh those girls are just sooo pretty! So I did a more modern look.
This has more cat eyes than pin up. I have very round eyes so just doing the normal pin up style doesn't really give me the same effect as the original girls. I think I used like three different lines for my eyes. Pencil to do an outline, liquid to darken and make it blunt, and then gel to soften the edges and make smooth lines. The lips are done in a Halloween lipstick that's supposed to be for vampires. What better suits a living vampire than that? Haha. I actually lightened my skin a shade to get a glowing look with some Ben Nye show make up in a pinky-white. My cheeks are done in a pink from the Hello Kitty meets MAC line with a bronzey color under to define my cheek bones a little. :D




Her skin the the color of pure cocaine, no flaws or marks. Pure.
Innocence has a color and for her it's not white.
Sapphire-sea eyes and ruby lips. She is worth more than you have.
If you can pay you can take her home for the night.

Chow ;D

Hair

Gossssh. I haven't blogged in for-ev-ar. Sorry!
I'm not sure if anyone but me reads this though! Ha!

So, this post is dedicated to HAIR. :]
I get asked a million and infinity times,
"What do you color your hair with?"
"What do you use in your hair?"
"What kind of straightener do you use?"
"What kind of curling iron do you use?"
"What do you wash your hair with?"
...And the list goes on...
Some times the questions are completely annoying. I feel like shouting, "I DON'T KNOW YOU!" But I don't. I just answer each one, over and over and over. Till I'm puking the word babble from memory. D:
Soo I will try and answer most of the questions I get here and now.

Background: I come from a dirty-blond and a red head. My hair ranges back and forth between those colors all year. In the summer it's usually red to strawberry-blond. In the spring and fall it's usually strawberry-blond to blond. Then from the end of fall into winter it takes on blond to dirty-blond to light brown. My red head genes make my hair thick and strong. The blond make it resistant to constant abuse, coloring and straightening, etc.

Routine: My hair routine consists of:
1. Washing it daily or every other day.
2. Using both washout conditioner and leave in conditioner.
3. Anti-frizz creme
4. Letting it air dry.
5. Straightening or Shaking out curls.

Things I NEVER do:
1. I do not ever wash my hair without conditioner.
2. I never use a hair dryer.
3. I do not straighten my hair without a protection spray.
4. I do not color my hair often.
5. I never bleach my hair
6. I never perm my hair


I am a GIANT believer in treating your hair right! I hate it when I see high school and middle school girls frying their hair and straightening it to the point it's crispy. Ew. It's like they are screaming "HELP MEEEE." Their hair anyways, Haha. I own a straightener, two curling irons, and a blow dryer. I never use the blow dryer but it's good to have on trips with multiple people. I rarely to never use the curling irons just because my hair spirals on its own. The straightener, on the other hand I use daily. I use it mostly to flat iron my bangs. My hair does many different looks just but little changes.

This is a natural with a curl spray to make sure my curls don't frizz.

This is right after I got my hair cut. It is flat ironed. Heat protecter. Wax.

This is natural, right out of the shower and air dry goodness. No products.

On average I use about two to three products on my hair.

Curly Look: While my hair is still wet I use the 24/7 Anti-Poof Creme and Captivating Curls from Sunsilk. As my hair starts to dry routienely I will spray my Curl Booster from Special Effects.
Straight Look: While my hair is still wet I will use the 24/7 Anti-Poof creme more heavily through my hair. After it Air Drys I flat Iron it and then use my Molding Wax from Special Effects on my bangs and roots to take care of fly aways. It's nice to style with also.

For shampoo and condidioner I user Herbal Essences Color Me Happy. It's just a new version of thier old Rose Hips shampoo and conditioner. Love it. For leave in conditioner I use Aussie Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner. It smells like yummy sunscreen. :]
I color my hair in winter to go back to a color kinda like summer or spring. I don't like dirty blond on me personally but anyone can do whatever.

Hope anyone who reads this likes it!
