christmas.

2011-12-08T22:13:00.000-08:00

As christmas is coming so quickly this month i have been busy helping with decorations, finding clothes for parties, buying gifts, stressing about money, and trying to stay busy at work...i found this quote online and it made me realize i need to chill out, and stop thinking about myself and what i need to get done and put others first...that is the true meaning of the season. so glad i found this.

"This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again. Christmas is a celebration, and there is no celebration that compares with the realization of its true meaning—with the sudden stirring of the heart that has extended itself unselfishly in the things that matter most." - Howard W. Hunter

my theme for this week.

2011-11-27T23:28:00.000-08:00

just what i needed to hear.

wow. in love. im crying.

2011-11-23T14:12:00.000-08:00

update.

2011-11-13T00:56:00.000-08:00

first of all...whyyyy does this necklace have to be so pricy??? tiffany's needs to re-evaluate. ;) i'm in love. this rose gold obsession is not quitting anytime soon.

second order of business....how cute is he?? i mean really.

we were down on fremont street tonight and got this. i think it's pretty funny...

one of my best friends ashley got married on friday. 11-11-11. aren't they the cutest?? sooo crazy about each other. it was a perfect day.

and lastly...i love my little lincoln man. can't believe he'll be 1 in a month! hes a sweetheart. i held him for an hour in costco while my mom and i shopped around. my arms almost fell off but i didnt wanna trade her for the cart. he was just so cuddly. is it bad that i secretly liked everyone coming up and commenting on his cuteness assuming i was his mom? i didn't mind...went right along with it. ;)

this girl,

2011-09-27T14:11:00.000-07:00

fathers day shout-out.

2011-06-19T09:51:00.000-07:00

happy happy fathers day to all the amazing men in my life from uncles, brothers, grandparents, bishops, seminary teachers, and home teachers.

i gotta post a shout out to my favorite guy in the whole world:

thanks for supporting me, coaching me, encouraging me, holding me when I'm heartbroken, calling me just to say what's up, hooking me up with new tires for my car, telling me to chill out when i panic, giving the best advice, steak dinners, the sweet handwritten letters i find when i need them the most, and working so hard for our family. thanks for being the best missionary, and the best example. thanks for loving mom the way you do and holding our family together. love you forever.

happy girl.

2011-06-06T00:12:00.000-07:00

Life punches you in the face sometimes. this last month it happened kind of a lot. may...please be good to me.

"Your light is seen, your heart is known, your soul is cherished by more people than you might imagine. If you knew how many others have been touched in wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished. If you knew how many people feel so much for you, you would be shocked…You are far more wonderful than you think you are. Rest with that. Rest easy with that. Breathe again. You are doing fine. More than fine. Better than fine. You’re doing great. So relax, and love yourself today.”
-Neale Donald Walsch

dangerously cute.

2011-04-27T23:35:00.000-07:00

just for kicks...

how cute is my lil guy?? :)

pro dog-sitter.

2011-04-22T01:17:00.000-07:00

meet Harley.

I've been dog-sitting for my neighbor for the past week and lemme just tell you...I'm in love. I'm gonna have the worst separation anxiety when they come back and I can't sleep with her every night! She's perfect for the following reasons...
-NEVER barks (that's one reason I usually don't love little dogs)
-does exactly what I tell her, sit, stay, come, go potty.
-LOVES to cuddle. She's cuddling next to me alll the time.
-Plays fetch like a champ! She loves her ball! She could play for hours.
-Does't piddle on the floor...ever...

maybe its time for me to buy a cute puppy! I'll just have my neighbor Shari train her to be just like Harley! :)

and just because...here's Linc planting a wet one on my nose while he was swinging in the backyard. ha, he's a doll.

advice puhhlease.

2011-04-10T23:04:00.001-07:00

ive been wanting to cut my hair foreverrrr. really though. it was so hard not to chop it off in hair school like everyone else. but its like my security or something...and I can't let go. I've lost 10 lbs recently and am still losing so i finally feel like maybe getting brave.

I've been obsessing over jen's hair since she cut it like this. its sooo cute. im thinking i would want to do this, but maybe just a tad longer to start out so i don't get too freaked out. and keep my same color...red with a little brighter blonde pieces on the ends...

people be brutally honest here. I'm in a crisis.

auntie leah.

2011-04-06T00:12:00.000-07:00

being an aunt is my most favorite thing ever. i love these 3 so much, its hard for me to imagine loving them more!!
i hope one day i can be lucky enough to be a mom, and share my kids with my mom and dad.
my mom is so amazing. she watches my nieces and nephews twice a week so my sister-in-laws can work and save by not having to pay for day care. im glad they are at my house so much!

alexis.
this beautiful girl will be 15 in 1 week. i can hardly believe it. i don't even feel like im her aunt...she's my little sister. i was 6 when she was born. she's grown up in our house, and spent so much time with us. goes on vacation with us. shes my girl. she is an awesome dancer...a good listener/advice giver, and a great daughter and big sister. she is so patient and positive. :)

zoe.
this peanut cracks me up. i love her curly blonde hair. zoe loves dancing, and lemme tell you she can break it down. lol she also loves make up and gardening. oh and going to the park. i love that i have wednesdays off because i get to kick it all day with her. :)

lincoln danger.
this little guy has made me so baby hungry its redic. he is so happy and fun. if my boys are half as cute as him ill be the happiest. :) he is 4 months and it has been so fun watching his cute little personality come through these past few weeks. i love him to pieces.

check out this ADORABLE video of him and my mom...

my march must haves.

2011-03-30T00:47:00.000-07:00

i invested in these this month and i had to share...

i know im so annoying with my bare minerals obsession but i just cant help it. all their products are so great. i just bought the new bare minerals skincare line...and im seriously in love. my skin feels amazing...and i love the moisturizer for dry skin. its really thick and hydrating. i love it.

i know i sound like the commercial or something.

and one more thing...if you're complexion sucks, and you get blackheads and acne and stuff...this will change you're life...its like a big sonic-care toothbrush for your face. it is amazing. so worth the $$$.

my only wish...

2011-03-25T00:58:00.000-07:00

is that this guy would ask me to marry him, and then sing this to me.
that'd be perfect.

hope.

2011-03-12T01:51:00.000-08:00

forgive yourself. breath. and enjoy the ride.

2011-03-08T00:13:00.000-08:00

i need to chill out. stop stressing. and be happy. im 21, single, have a great career, and bill free living at home. life is good.

on an entirely different note...im in love. this pic and the movie "the fighter" speak for themselves.

little gems.

2011-02-13T21:50:00.000-08:00

in honor of valentines day, i present....
my cute great grandparents! aren't these pics great?????? they were so in love!! i cant wait to have that!

and one random...these are my great great grandparents straight from Italy. this pic was taken in central park, NYC.

crazy right? lets just say its a good thing my dad married my mom so we could have some good genes. my grams is gnarley! and i mean that in the nicest most loving way. :) im greatful for her!

happy love day all you heartbreakers. go get em.

foolish.

2011-02-12T00:52:00.000-08:00

So i've come to the conclusion...ive been battling: should i? shouldn't i? do i have time? will i practice? am i too old?

but its decided.

im starting piano lessons again. im a FOOL for quitting. fool. i was like 13 and decided i was too cool or something like that. now i regret it big time.
i've been looking into Family Music, and a few other places. They are decent priced and i only want lessons once a week...maybe twice sometimes...
then i figured i should ask around because i know there are a lot of talented piano players out there, and maybe they are lookin for a few extra 20$ dolla bills a week?
if you know of anyone interested could you shoot em my way?

thanks. :)

twenty. one.

2011-02-04T01:08:00.000-08:00

im so obsessed with this whole rose gold trend.
i browse these pretties all the time.

so my birthday was so awesome. i like being 21. its one birthday where i actually feel different. i guess i just feel older, and smarter, and more responsible or something. i like it. hahaha

my favorite part of the day was going shopping with my mom and niece at nordys. i need to take my niece shopping with me more often...
"oh thats so cute", "you look good leah" hahahah, she's the best.
and i loved dinner with all my fam at outback. i have the best family! :)

recent discoveries.

2011-01-25T19:30:00.000-08:00

so i there is this app called Square that i am pretty sure will be my new best friend. it is SO cool. I have a little "square" that plugs into my iphone and it is a credit/debit card swipe. it has no monthly charges, no service fees, just 2.75% percent of all the transactions i make. baller right? so now instead of being charged like 5 bucks to use my salons machine...i have my very own merchant account on my phone and the amount is automatically deposited into my checking account at the end of the day. im so excited! the things people come up with these days. so crazy. i have a feeling it is gonna change the way people use craigslist and ebay...but also for small business owners, hair dressers, really anybody selling products. its sooo cool.

also im not much of an Aveda freak, but this stuff is soooo good. "beautifying composition oil". I use it on dry scalp, hair skin everything. and it doesn't make it oily, it absorbs right into you're scalp hair or skin. and it smells SO good. i love it.

bahama mama.

2011-01-22T01:34:00.000-08:00

im gonna make this short and sweet. because well, my trip to the Bahamas was unfortunately short...but very sweet. i wish it could have been a week instead of 3 days. but i cant complain. ill take what i can get. about a month ago me and some friends talking and decided we should get serious about going on a cruise because we had been talking about it for a while. we got a pretty sweet deal i think.
basically we chilled on the beach. ate fancy dinners, rode jet skis, discovered the beautiful Atlantis resort, drank coco locos (minus the loco part i guess), watched movies, napped, and giggled a lot.

i have really cute friends. i mean its pretty obvious that they are cute, but they are so fun, and whitty, and happy, and silly, and i love em.

so on a side note....
look how cute my nephew is in this pic...i think he looks like E.T. he's a keeper. :)

2011-01-05T15:48:00.000-08:00

i've made a discovery im kind of excited about so i had to share...

birchbox.com

its a membership that charges you $10 a month and sends you a box full of samples at the beguinning of each month from many different brands like, Benefit, NARS, Kiel's, Laura Mercier and more...

genius right?

2011-01-04T23:38:00.000-08:00

I feel like we're all so far away from eachother, and we are all at different stages...some are getting married, some are going on missions, and some like me are just hangin out...lol. i love them and their sweet spirits, and that we can always be there for eachother through boyfriends, loss, sadness, heartbreak, and celebrations. their the best.

confession.

2010-11-12T01:20:00.000-08:00

Taylor Swift's new album "Speak Now" has been playing nonstop in my car, in my room, on my ipod. I can't stop. I honestly haven't listened to anything else since the day it came out. This new album seriously feels like it was written just for me...sometimes it freaks me out how right on some of the songs are.

On the way to Overton last week my dad and i rocked out to the new CD. he is a pretty big Taylor Swift fan...for the reason being that he is an english major...and he thinks she is an awesome poet. i agree. im glad he appreciates. :)

SO maybe you think this post is dumb because im kind of confessing my love for Taylor Swift...but i don't care. its my blog right?
Her music is inspiring, and honest, and forgiving, and simple, and hopeful. so thanks Taylor...for inspiring me to trust, let go, and love. see you on tour next year. im. so. there.

Pomegranate Harvest 2010

2010-11-02T00:46:00.000-07:00

My grandpa and grandma live out in Overton Nv, and have a ton of pomegranate trees. every october all the family gets together for a big feast and pomegranate picking. this year we also had my sister in law's baby shower. it was a ton of fun!

this is where we had the shower...inside the fig tree! isn't that the coolest?

i think the baby's name has officially been decided... Lincoln Danger Davis. haha, dont ask. that's my brother for ya! personally i love it!

after we started the picking!
last year we decided to prune back the branches a bit to help get rid of all dead stuff, and this year we could really tell in our numbers we didn't have quite as many but, we were still happy to have what we did.

i love my family. im so glad we are all so close and get together so many times a year. :) I feel really blessed! i love this time of year.

2010-10-27T01:03:00.000-07:00

Melinda and I got to go to New York this past weekend to take a color certification test for Redken. It was really awesome, and scary, and exciting, and overwhelming all at the same time. i get my results in like 6 weeks...so we'll see. luckily there are retakes if you don't pass a portion. lol

Anyway, after we got all our testing out of the way we hit the town. on saturday night we went and saw West Side Story which was awesome! i really liked it. we got pretty cheap seats that were kind of far away but hey...its all about the music right?

On sunday we went and saw Mary Poppins...it was by far the best show i have ever seen. dare i say, i liked it better than Wicked. Im a sucker for Disney. It was so great. Then we walked around a little street fair...ate bomb italian sausages, then we walked like a billion blocks...lol, (my feet were tired) to Washington park and shopped around a bit and then went on a haunted tour. it was pretty fun. not as scary as i hoped...but there were some interesting stories...haha.

On Monday we shopped around some more, had lunch at a cute little place and then headed for the airport. it was a pretty quick trip...but we got everything we wanted accomplished. :)

Traveling buddies that work well together are hard to find. but i must say melinda and i are a pretty good match. we like to do all the same things. She's adorable.

baby boy.

2010-10-18T22:18:00.000-07:00

This is my sister in law Krista...and my soon to be nephew. Isn't she adorable? She is due December 4th! I hope i'm at least half as cute as she is when i'm prego. She wanted a few pics of her belly so we made our own little studio. :) My digital camera did a decent job i think.

We can't wait to meet you baby boy! hurry up!

yogi bear.

2010-10-12T11:38:00.000-07:00

this little girl makes my heart melt. this is my 15 year old half golden retriever, half german shepherd...Yogi. She is the sweetest!
she is struggling these days...her legs don't work like they used to, her eyes are getting cloudy, and she doesn't quite hear the way she did. she is always happy and still gets so excited to get the mail with me though!
I don't really know how to handle this situation...i know she wont be here much longer. :/
whats a girl to do?!?!?

i love you yogs.

2010-10-12T02:39:00.000-07:00

my two best friends from utah came to visit me the past weekend!! Amber and Katelin. it was such a blast!!!
we went out to breakfast, shopped till we dropped, went down to fremont street, rode the stratoshere, hit up ciao ciao's...and they came to church with me on sunday! it was so fun to see them again, and i had SO much fun shopping! i got some new fall goodies i'm really excited about. no more shopping for me till christmas now!!
here's a few pics. these girls are so beautiful! inside and out. i don't know how i got so lucky. they are one good thing that came out of me living in utah. ;)

katelin-jane.

2010-09-29T12:06:00.000-07:00

so i need to give a shout out to my best frannnn katelin-jane. we met at byu summer term right after we graduated and have stayed friends since! she is so fun and smart and beautiful! she has always been there for me and i've tried to be there for her. we've been through a lot and i wish i would have listened to her more when it comes to things in my life. some of my best memories with her are, coke runs, hot springs, drives through provo canyon, sharing a 5x5 room at liberty square, borrowing eachother's clothes, dressing up as donna and jackie from that 70's show for halloween. hahah, taking a ride on my collapsing bed, vegas trips, watching tv alllll day, cooking yummy new dishes. fondue night, boooooobs, john mayer concert, standing up to bitchy girls, hahahah, and so many more.
Katelin just got called to serve a mission in RUSSIA. she leaves jan. 12th. and im so excited for her. she is going to be amazing! not to mention the most fashionable, beautiful missionary there. she has an amazing testimony and im so excited she has taken chances and is going for it.
she is amazing and im so greatful she's been in my life.
not to mention she knows exactly how to cure my problems...

genius right? and yes...that is my bed. hahaha

love you katelin-jane.

oops.

girls night.

2010-09-22T01:14:00.000-07:00

we had a girls night last weekend and can i just say...i have some really cute friends. seriously, i love them! everyone needs a little girl time, right? i sure did.
limo rides, margaritaville, dancing, pictures, getting dressed up, eating smokies, pretzels and m&m's. make up, girl talk, laughs, pj's, and sleepovers.

i can't say it enough...

2010-09-14T01:07:00.001-07:00

my dad is amazing. he gives the best advice. he loves me no matter what. he challenges my ideas and pushes me to do better and learn more. he really is the smartest person i know. i can go to him anytime for a father's blessing, and he'll have a white shirt and tie on within mins to "rescue" me. he is so silly! he holds me when i cry. he comes into the salon to have me cut his hair. he fills my tank with gas when its low. he reads the newspaper everyday and reads all the important things i should know out loud. he hates my red hair and wants me to be his little blondie. he spoils me. we watch golf on sunday afternoons and has forgiven me for still cheering for tiger. he's a keeper. i love him.

Today I was thinking about how much i'm gonna miss being in Utah this fall. I've been there for the past 2 falls and really loved it...until the snow came. It is so beautiful there with all the colorful leaves, and the crunching under you're feet. :/ I really am bummed about it. I guess I'm just gonna have to go visit lots.

Vegas, please cool down a little bit...i have boots calling my name from the plastic bin out in the garage.

look at these beauties...i think i need them...

muhh girl.

T-Swift knows whats up...

"To me, “FEARLESS” is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say “you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’sFEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS." - Taylor Swift

sassy much??

New Hampshire 2010

2010-08-07T01:32:00.000-07:00

Our family trip to New Hampshire this year was SO much fun!! even more fun then last year! My uncle bought a house about 2 years ago in New Hampshire at Rye Beach, and it is just beautiful! We had a wonderful little reunion with about 25-30 people there!! aunts, uncles, cousins, and grammy! We went to the beach everyday, caught a Red Sox game at the famous Fenway Park (SO FUN), went on some nice jogs, ate tons of seafood, had our very own lobster feast, and just hung out around the house and watched movies.
I took loads of pictures but here are a few favorites...

while there i cut my cousin jack's hair and can i just tell you how cute this little boy is? he runs around the house barefoot and his feet slap against the floor. you can here him coming from across the house. haha, he calls himself "jackjack", he has an obsession with shoes. he'll try on all the shoes by the door and walk around in them! and he's a sweet heart, and loves to give kisses. Anyway! We gave him a popsicle to distract him while i was cutting his hair...worked like a charm. but after a while he was covered in it, sticky and hairy!! im thinking about framing this pic and putting it on my station...lol, "cutest client ever award"

i went for a little jog one day when it was cloudy and we didn't go to the beach and all of a sudden it started pouring rain. It was such a blast. i've never been in rain like it. it was huge drops, and just pouring. i was soaked. while i was running, i just was laughing...it was so fun. haha

fun right?? can't wait till next year already!

my theme song lately...

2010-07-25T20:23:00.000-07:00

Live like you Believe

You have felt the warmth of the fire
You have seen a glimmer of light
Its someing that you have been missing inside
Something that you have been longing to find
Hold on to the yearning
And wherever you are on your journey

Live like you believe
Live like you know
It's one sure way
Your faith will grow
Listen to your heart
Search in your soul
And you'll find
The strength that you need
His light, the gift of His peace
When you live like you believe

There are things you'll have to let go
And you might feel, you're just hanging on
When you find yourself alone and afraid
Questioning all the choices you've made
Hold on the burning
He's leading you thru the journey

Live like you believe
Live like you know
It's one sure way
Your faith will grow
Listen to your heart
Search in your soul
And you'll find
The strength that you need
His light, the gift of His peace
When you live like you believe

Hold on to the yearning
And wherever you are on the journey

Live like you believe
Live like you know
It's one sure way
Your faith will grow
Listen to your heart
Search in your soul
And you'll find
The strength that you need
His light, the gift of His peace
When you live like you believe

2. Can i just say that i work for the coolest girl ever! hands down. I love being able to hang out with Melinda all day. She is such an awesome stylist! I'm learning so many cool things. I love her clients, and i love that she is so willing to teach me what she knows.
In October we are going to NYC to take the test to become Redken certified colorists. I'm pretty stoked. If you would have asked me 4 months ago if i thought i could actually do it, i would have said heck no. But, im actually getting really excited. i feel like i've learned so much, and like its actually possible! the test is pretty intense, its about 8 hours long and consists of a multiple choice, essay, and practical. We are gonna be crazy studying the next few months but it will be so worth it!

3. I seriously have the cutest friends. they are so funny, happy, and i just love them. this summer has been a blast. one thing...i wish amber lived in vegas. provo is much too far.

4. My fam and I are going to New Hampshire in like 2 weeks. My uncle has a beach house there and its gorgeous! i love the beach there...its very different than cali, but its beautiful. :) im excited to get together with all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. we will be having a lobster feast every night!

5. Im almost halfway to my new years resolution. im feelin good!!

2010-07-18T22:42:00.000-07:00

my week in texas...

2010-07-14T21:41:00.000-07:00

Went to San Antonio, Texas this past week for my cousin Emily's wedding...sorry for the poor quality of my photos...my camera died, so i had to use my phone.
It was a beautiful wedding and it was so fun getting to spend time with my family and my little cousins.
I did Emily's hair, and Lindy did her make up. we should start a wedding business right??? lol
The reception was BEAUTIFUL. there was even a guy making crepes and milkshakes. oh i forgot to mention it was 100% humidity the day of the wedding...we we're all so grumpy while taking pics!! haha

my pretty friends...

2010-07-05T01:16:00.000-07:00

This weekend i went up to Provo to go to stadium of fire with my friend Amber! It was a blast.
Amber and i met at hair school and honestly, i don't think its a coincidence that we enrolled in the same class. I think angels knew that we would need each other this past year and a half. We instantly became best friends and we always watched out for each other. We've been through many laughs, and probably just as many tears. Amber is the sweetest girl i have ever met. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She makes me want to be better. She is just giving, hardworking, friendly, happy and not to mention gorgeous. Even when things are not going her way, she makes the best of it. She's a great example to me and i hope one day i can be as amazing of a girl as she is. :)
Im so glad we could spend a weekend of shopping, laying out, and singing along with Carrie Underwood together!!

On my way home today i stopped in St. George and visited Alex. :)
I miss Alex so much! I cant wait till we live closer again one day!! Im so proud of her for working hard up in Tuacahn and i know she is gonna be an amazing stylist for some huge show one day!
miss you ALI!

3.) i need more comfortable shoes.
4.) learned how to cut curly hair. (you'd think i'd learn that in school.)

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

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. :)

amethyst

2010-04-20T01:36:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-04-14T22:28:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-04-14T13:03:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-04-07T17:04:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-04-03T22:24:00.000-07:00

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!!!!

Mr. John Mayer...ahhhh...

2010-03-28T19:13:00.000-07:00

I love him. with my whole soul.

his concert was AMAZING!

Katelin came down from Provo and we enjoyed a fun filled weekend laying in the sun, Ciao Ciao's italian, shopping, and of course the concert!!

John Mayer played the gutiar with a drum stick, played it while it was laying on the ground and he was over it, and started singing Journey's "don't stop believing" right in the middle of his song "half of my heart". (my fav song of his) CRAZY! he's crazy. I've heard from people that he's kinda a tool...but he seemed way humble and down to earth at the show. i looooooved it!! one of the top 3 best concerts i've been to! :)

hahah, he blew our minds!!!

Isn't he sexy?

2010-02-22T21:30:00.000-08:00

shopittome.com

its genius.

this website finds sales, on your favorite brands (you pick them all when you sign up), and then your sizes, and updates you weekly on all the deals they find. It's like a little personal shopper.

genuis...but also quite deadly...beware.

can't wait to be done with school and finally start getting paid! :-)

3 weeks!!

feelin SO good.

2010-02-12T17:08:00.000-08:00

So I had my state practical and written tests this week and passed them both!! flying colors!! Im so relieved. Now all I need to do is get my last 150 hours, and ill be officially be a licensed cosmetologist!!! AND i'll be moving home!!! :) I'm a happy girl.

looking for some luck this week.

2010-02-08T09:47:00.000-08:00

So I'm taking both my written and practical state board exams this week to get my license...and I'm kinda freaking out. I know what I need to do, and I know how to do it...but I'm still worried that ill forget a step or something. So nervous! Wish me luck!!!!!

Anyways, yesterday after church my friend McKenzie who is an amazing photography major here at BYU took some awesome pictures of me!! It was a lot of fun! We just went to random places while driving around and found some cool spots. I tried to make some dry fingerwaves in my hair, and it worked out pretty good...they looked even cooler once they relaxed a little.

no longer a teenager. bittersweet!!

2010-02-03T20:46:00.000-08:00

So I celebrated my 20th birthday this week. :-) It was a ton of fun! I got to go on a trip to california with my school and went to a hair show and disneyland! I bought tons of fun stuff at the show and went to some cool classes! On my birthday I got to take a wonderful nap, and went out to dinner at pizza factory with some friends!!!

I don't know how I feel about turning 2o. I'm excited for what is coming my way...I'm almost done with school, and i'll be moving back home, and hopefully land a killer job! At the same time I'm kinda sad to be letting go of my "teens". Oh Well!! It's called the roaring 20's for a reason right?!

Bring it!

pizza factory made this!

Me and Amber in front of the Long Beach expo center for the show!

It was Mickey's birthday at Disneyland too. I don't mind sharing with him! btw...my sash says "birthday princess" haha

LOVED seeing these beautiful flowers on my kitchen table when I walked in from the airport. :-)

It was a great day, and weekend!

This machine my roomates and I have discovered is called a COCOMOTION. It's probably the best invention ever. All you do is pour milk and a scoop of your favorite Hot Cocoa mix in it, and as it heats it to the perfect temperature, it whips it. It has been a lifesaver in this rediculous, cold, snowy place. :)

if you needed a christmas gift idea...there you go!

6 days till I'm home for break!! can. not. wait.

who can say they hate cats after watching this???

thanksgiving break.

2009-12-01T21:50:00.000-08:00

Being home for Thanksgiving was a blast. I love everything about home and vegas. Our Thanksgiving was pretty quiet because my brothers went to their dad's, but still so good. :) My week home consisted of...

-lots of movies...(The Blind Side, New Moon, The Proposal)

-pedicure :)

-hanging out with my cute nieces, and going to the park.

-Sonic stops. enough to kill me.

-sushi with my dad

-BYU vs. UTE game. that was intense.

-haircuts galore. I cut mom's, dad's, both nieces, brother's, and sis in law's.

-got my own hair done by wonderful Emily.

-DSW. :)

-family time!!!!

I loved it!

3 weeks till christmas break.

oh and 460 something hours till I'm done with school!

Thanks MOM!

So, here are some pics of my new room. No more little girl bedspread. :) My mom is so talented...she made the big valance over the window. I cant wait to move into it in February.

P.S. before the transformation my walls were baby blue, and my bedspread was blue, purple and cream. haha

I love this picture. I'm on the left and my sis is on the right. It's crazy how we're only 11 months apart. 3 more days till I go home for Thanksgiving. :)

Happy Birthday Dad!

2009-11-08T18:05:00.001-08:00

Luckily I have an awesome brother who calls and gives me the play by play when birthdays occur while I'm away. I will always love him for that!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!

10 reasons why I love my dad...

1.) He gives the best advice. It's his Job ;)

2.) When he calls me his baby. I am and will always be his baby. (I love being the youngest)

3.) He is the most accepting and caring man I know!

4.) I love when he makes peanut butter/honey and banana sandwiches and then dips it in milk.

I'ts so disgusting!! haha, but its funny watching him eat it!!

5.) Going on family trips to the beach are my favorite! He is a professional wave rider.

6.) I love sitting next to him in church when he plays with my hair. His favorite is when it's blonde.

7.) I love when he comes into my room on BYU game mornings and starts singing the fight song! "rise and shout the cougars are out, their on their way to fame and glory!"

8.) I also love watching him watch those BYU football games. The house is always filled with the LOUDEST commentary. He's either excited, or PIST. haha

9.) I love going with him to hit balls at Canyon Gate. He's a great golfer!

10.) I love christmas morning, going into their room with my sis and waking him and my mom

up. He is always so excited and ready with the video camera.

11.) He has never been one to judge anyone or their situation! I don't remember one homeless, or beggar ever being left empty handed.

I love you dad!

fancy shmancy.

Wishin... these beauties were not SO overpriced!! It's a bit out of hand.

I cant help but notice the advertisement though...

"Presenting Tiffany's Keys:

An Intriguing Invitation.

A Revealing Discovery.

A Promise of Adventure.

A Whispered Romance.

A Question Answered.

A Secret Kept."

That is one good Sales Pitch.

I wish I was creative enough to be in Business Advertising.

What a fun job!

halloween weekend. :)

My little "Bad Witch"

Being home in Vegas this weekend was SO fun. I got to spend Halloween with my nieces and family and it was so great! My mom made Chile and Carmel apples, and Zoe and I went trick or treating. Well at least attempted...haha. We got to the 3rd, house and she looked at me and said, "Leah, can we just go back home? I just wanna watch TV with Papa." I was shocked...haha, I told her that she would miss out on all the candy and that Papa was watching boring football, and she just replied, "that's okay, lets go watch football with Papa." haha, shes so funny.

On sunday they came over and brought their new little Kitty, "Tink". She's the sweetest. I love cats!

My mom also suprised me this weekend and re-decorated my whole room, I LOVE it. It's finally all grown up and pretty! Not like a 12 year olds room! haha, Secretly I think she re-decorated it so I don't leave home again anytime soon when I move back! :) I miss her!!

I love Taylor Andrews!

2009-10-27T17:56:00.000-07:00

I'm really starting to realize what a great school and family I belong to with Taylor Andrews! What other school has world renowned guest artists once a month!? This year we have had...Peter Mahoeny, Faatemah Ampey, Philip Wilson, Nicholas French, Geno Stampora, Yosh, Babek, Keith Bryce, Eric Fisher, Jake Garn, and others that I am forgetting! I have learned so much, and I'm so greatful I can learn from and watch such amazing artists! Today North American Hairstylist of the year and Vidal Sasson trained, PHILIP WILSON came to our school and announced he is joining forces with Larry, and is now part owner in Taylor Andrews!! I know this doesn't sound very exciting, but I'm so stoked!! He is amazing! He innovated the art of Free-form cutting, and he is so talented!!

Faatemah this morning

Phillip Wilson today :)

Amber was the model

I love Fall!!

Tonight was the best. I made my mom's Chili. it was DELISH, and then for FHE we carved pumpkins...Katelin and I carved Michael Jackson's face into ours...it didn't work out too well. You can see the idea though right?? hahahhh

Here are 2 reason's why i love my roomates...

4 months and counting...update...

2009-10-13T20:02:00.000-07:00

Im a bad blogger. I need to update.

I went home this weekend. I LOVE VISITING HOME! I guess I've been a little homesick...so that was nice. I had a "wonderful" 3 hour visit at the dentist, and got my hair done!!! :)

So I'm set to be done with school mid-February and I cant wait!!! School has been great lately. I'm finally starting to be more comfortable with color and I'm feeling pretty good about my cuts. I guess I wont be totally comfortable till I'm in the salon without my Instructors checking everything off. :) but hey, that will be the day.

Provo life is just grand. hah! Im trying to make the best of it!! It's COLD. already. thank goodness it has only snowed once. I guess it could be worse.

Me and my girlfrannnnns at school today...their cute, and happy ALL the time. I love it. How could I be a downer or grumpy with their cute faces around me all day?

Tomorrow's forecast in Provo, Utah.
