NEW HAIR!!

I did it! I actually did it!! My hair is darker (SUPER dark in parts) The bottom is a few shades darker and richer than my natural light brown and the top has super light highlights and lowlights that match the bottom. It's like the black and white of neutral tones and it sounds emo, but it's really not. Definitely more edgy, but that just fits well with my style ; ) What do you think??

Rockin' the deer eyes too <3

Hairy Mess

Well lovies, I think it's about time I found a more natural hair color. I love this bleach blonde, in fact, I am completely attached to it for the fact that I've spent the past year making my hair lighter and lighter as a result of various mental breakdowns. I've left it unchanged for the past 3 months and it's about time for a fresh cut and new color. Soooo, I was thinking LC blonde? It's still beachy and light, but natural enough to look better than the bleach blonde and easy enough that I might be able to do upkeep with a box dye. Thoughts please!

Eeeeek it's soooo DARK!! 

Crazy Sunglasses + Crazy Faces

to throw it out there, I'm a special person. And I do mean to use the term 'special'. By this I mean that I'm slightly crazy (in a good way) and am not scared to portray that in every day life. So here we have a modified collection of my favorite sunglasses. A lot of them wouldn't be considered 'stylish', but they're fun, and fashion should be fun, right? Enjoy!

Had to throw the first crazy face in there.

 

Casual Class

Every single day take a little bit of time for yourself and enjoy the things you love. <3

For me it's an evening espresso. 

I make it fresh in these hand painted cups. 

Then I enjoy some time with these gorgeous puppies. <3

Skin Health from the Inside

Are you dealing with adult acne? I know how you feel, it's annoying, painful and embarrassing and there's not much you can do about it. Here is a trick I've tried in the past and recently started using again.

Take Burdock root and Evening Primrose oil supplements. This is an old Middle Eastern treatment that my mom learned from her coworker. Warning: these pills are giant, not so much fun to take, but it's so worth it. Take 2 Burdock and 1 Evening Primrose every morning and night for the first week. Then cut down to 1 Burdock and 1 Evening Primrose every morning and night. This is hard to keep up with, which is why I stopped taking these supplements for a while, and it takes about 2 weeks to see a change in your skin but KEEP UP WITH IT. Burdock is like a natural antibiotic and it kills the bacteria in your pores, allowing pimples to clear up and Evening Primrose brightens and moisturizes your skin. In addition to the supplements, wash your face twice a day, use an oil free moisturizer and drink LOTS OF WATER!

If you try this, let me know how it works!

Forever loves,

Summer day in SEATTLE

Kati and I hung out downtown today. I picked up my work schedule, we met Sara for a snack and walked around Pike Place, among the tourists. At least we were dressed like the locals we are =)

Important things to think about BEFORE tucking in your shirt: 1. Is the shirt tight? If it is, leave it untucked. 2. What bottoms are you wearing? It should be something to accentuate your legs, since you are creating a shorter looking torso, your legs need to look as long as Highway 26 between Othello and Washtucna (WSU/Idaho kids will get that one) Shorts should be short, skirt should be higher waisted and short and pants should be long, slimming and worn with heels. 3. Are you planning on wearing a belt? If not, please reconsider.

Bag and Butt!! Cross body bags are BACK and better than ever! Get one that is a neutral color, light enough for summer but warm enough for all year use. These are greaaaaaaat for chilling out downtown, going to class and heading to work. Nothing is better than having free hands and arms while downtown--it's so freeing!!! Forever 21, $24

I've already posted a picture of these today, but they are soooo PRETTY, I just couldn't resist. Forever 21, $18

Bachelorette Nights

So me and my friends always watch the Bachelorette on Monday nights. I love it. I will be on the show someday if I don't find a good man soon. I'm kind of joking, but only kind of. It might happen. ANYWAY, Monday I wore a decently cute outfit. It doesn't take much creativity to make a tshirt and jeans super cute so here is the trick yo: ACCESSORIES AND CUTE SHOES!! This is when being cheap accessory and shoe obsessed is the greatest thing in the entire world.

BAM! Headband (Nordstrom $10) belt (Love Culture, it came on a dress) orrrrrr...just find a piece of rope?? and flats from a store in Snohomish. So freaking easy, you have no excuse to every wear just jeans and a tshirt again. Happy Styling!
