things that make me happy...

1. what is it about being tan that makes you feel so good? i love it! although i am a little burnt from my weekend in san diego, im pretty darn tan.

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!

my week in texas...

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...

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!
