wow...

So being in the salon for the past 3 weeks, i have learned so much! more then i ever learned in school...weird how that works!
just to name a few...
1.) Melinda is freaking talented, a way good teacher, and a great friend/secret keeper. :)
2.) massaging in the shampoo bowl is gonna be my golden ticket for some clients...haha
3.) i need more comfortable shoes.
4.) learned how to cut curly hair. (you'd think i'd learn that in school.)
5.) gray coverage= piece of cake.
6.) don't be surprised when clients tell you wayyy too much info. haha
7.) confidence
8.) some wedding parties are curazzzy.
9.) the gays are very entertaining, and do some awesome color/haircuts.
10.) don't refer your clients to another stylist who "you would never let them touch your own hair"...lol.
11.) don't be surprised when He is actually a She. haha
12.) kadus bleach is my new best friend.

okay i've learned way more then that but there's a few that are in my mind at the moment....but anyway, I'm lovin every minute of this!



This past weekend carlee, matt, tanner, and i went on a day trip to his cabin. SO FUN. went riding, got all muddy, ate pizza factory, napped with car. it was a good saturday all in all. :)





I really sucked at taking pics. matt got some good ones but of course he's never gonna upload them. so i gave in and decided to post mine.

amethyst

a little fact about me? i love antiques. i think my mom is the one who got me into it...she loves them even more then me. my vanity, dresser, head/foot board and night stands are all dark wood. and i love them. it must be the charm in the scratches and worn spots. and the detailed designs in the wood. I also collect old keys. they are way cool, and all so different.


I really want to find some cool old amethyst rings. its my birthstone and i've always wanted to find a steal on one. i think their sooo pretty!

Aren't these cool?

fab idea.

I stole this idea from a bare minerals counter i visited recently...
AND I found these cute little glass containers at tai pan trading for 1$. awesome right? i know.

this little girl.

my best friend. :)
when I leave for work, she always says..."do you have to go?? when will you be back? do you promise your coming back?"
haha, I think she thinks i'm gonna go back to utah and we wont see each other for a while. I have to reassure i'm never moving back there.



a few facts about zoe:
she loves, hot dogs, polly pockets, the park, dancing around my room with the radio on, gardening in the backyard, planting flowers and she loves her crazy curly hair...and i sure do too. oh and she's really good at making funny faces! lol

all smiles.

I am just loving being home!!
The past 2 weeks have had so much fun, laying out in the sun, hanging out with friends every night!! lol, and not having to be at school all day. or be in freezing utah.

I started assisting today. I love it! Im so glad I get to hang out and learn tons more before I jump right into renting my own chair. Im at Eaze salon and assisting for Melinda Wilcox. She's so great! Its fun being in a new place and getting to see how stylists do things so differently. SO FUN.

so i have a few new obsessions...

#1. i know i'm a bare minerals junkie, and its probably kinda annoying but everyone NEEDS this. changed my life. haha Bare Escentuals "faux tan" sunless tanner.



#2. i have an envelope on my magnetic board with my "iphone savings" in it. hahah, pathetic, i know. My contract is up with t-mobile soon though!! can't freaking wait.

easter bunny.

so I'm kind of obsessed with my grey Toms right now. they are just so cute, and crazy comfy!!! I wear them with everything. shorts, dresses, jeans, skirts. everything. ANYWAY...today the easter bunny brought me these beauties...haha, their kinda dorky but I LOVE them!!!!
