colored hair

I am always so torn with I want colored hair, but I want people to take me seriously, and I want a job, and I don't want my mom to be mad at me, and I don't want my poor hair to hate me....

 BUUUUUT 

my mom always tells me nows the time to wear the crazy shit you want cause one day you just wont be able to pull it off, 

she's brutally honest. 

so Im like fugggs it I'm 25 I want purple hair damn it.

 Unfortunately my hair is still recovering from the magenta hair of 2013.

(btdubs- this magenta hair was dyed over my brown hair, with special effects dye, that shit is the realness, it didn't wash out in one wash like other colored dyes and IT WAS VIBRANT.)

now I really want purpz hair

with the dark roots uggh I love so much.

arg, lusting so hard, but my hair wont strip to anything lighter than like a pinkish weird orange color and I really don't want to fall apart like it did last time I bleached it. 

for now I will lust from a far until my hair grows a little and gets healthier. 

(sobbing over pinterest pictures)

pom pom rug

I saw this pom pom rug on pinterest and pinned it in my MAKE THIS board along with the 10000000 other crafts I want to make.

Since I already have a HUGE yarn collection and I had this rug liner that I could cut and use as the perfect piece to make this project on my days while I'm snowed in my apartment on the -3 degree Chicago days.

I'm a simple girl really

I love bed, beer, veggie burgers, taco bell at 3 am, yarn, hello kitty and pumpkin flavored anything.

-I made a rice and veggie dish with pumpkin butter

-ohmygod, I made pasta and alfredo sauce and added the pumpkin butter to the alfredo sauce it was AMAZING, were making it for thanksgiving!

-pumpkin milkshake with ice, ice cream, coconut milk and a spoon full of PB

and my personal favorite a fall twist on some cocktails

I got a little fancy and got some vanilla vodka, mixed in some cream soda and some PB- holy sweetness that was delish.

mani monday

Ive seen this picture all over tumblr and pinterest

I tried to do the chevron once before but it turned out terribly! 

about a week ago i found myself looking at the dainty squids blog

her nail art game is ON POINT.

she showed me something I would have never thought of

CRAFT SCISSORS 

her tutorial here

so I saw the picture above on a friends pinterest and thought OMG I can finally DO THIS!

colors are

Orly-Beach Cruiser

Nails Inc-chelsea embankment (best glitter polish ever, isn't like the other that are more polish than glitter. it comes out how to looks on my nail I normally only use ONE coat! sold at Sephora)

Nina Ultra Pro-Black (such an orignal name)

&Spoiled by wet & wild- Correction Tape

(by the way I really love this spoiled nail polish, its shiny most of the time I dont use a top coat, it dries really fast, and the red one is a really great color oh and its like 2 bucks!)

so I painted them all and LET THEM DRY (seriously)

so I did the left hand by cutting the clear tape and putting it on my nail but when I ripped the tape off it ruined the straight lines 

so for my right hand I decided to paint the tape first,

then cut it and place it on the nail

WORKED WAYYYYY BETTER.

What do you think of the craft scissor idea?

if you try it let me see!
