(apology for the cheesy title, Forrest Gump is on the TV in the background and I am inspired- LOL) 1st off, I love my life. I love my friends that are my family that are my life. Growing up a single child with a single mother made me always crave lots of friends and family around me. Too bad I was such a...

my hair needs it's own facebook page

box dye Tuesday, July 27, 2010
After my recent highlighting experiment gone wrong (went and used a new dye - BAD IDEA), I wanted to go back at old hair colors/styles to see what I liked the best for my face. I swear, my hair has a life of it's own! I love it though, my hair is such an important part of my 'look'. I've had a bob...

flashback | April 2007

let's hug the haters

Thursday, July 22, 2010
I wonder what it is that makes one person mean to another. I know when I'm in a cranky mood, I tend to add a grumble or rolled eye to the poor girl at the bank drivethrough or the cashier at Target because I'm having a shitty day and poor me thinks the world hates me, which stings when you're a people-pleaser like...

You all know I'm a bargin shopper and love a clearance sale, so my picks are usually very reasonably priced with one piece that is a little bit more expensive,...

For me... it was Jessica = 0, Team Fug = 29. It's a tragedy really. Hopefully my trip to Torrid and Macy's will fair better. In effort of full...
