Another New Journey

So, I posted on my Facebook a few days ago looking for a friend to help me learn how to do my hair and makeup. Well, the problem is that I now live on the other side of the country from all my friends. A little hard to learn makeup and hair from people that are at least 1,000 miles away... Some even more. A bunch of them are more than willing to help because I have super awesome friends but like I said... There is A LOT of country between us. :) 

The #1 tip I have gotten from them is to look online at videos and tutorials. Should be easy enough right? :) I am so lost when it comes to all of this. I have never been great at hair and only decently passable at makeup so it will be a long journey.  

I started with going to the best place to find anything you want to find on the internet anymore... PINTEREST! Where else would I go???? So, I have a board for hair and a board for makeup. I found a bunch of great looking things that I want to try. Awesome right??? Well, now my problem is that I don't really understand how to do the things the videos say... I need to find tutorials that start at the VERY basic for this whole makeup thing... how sad is it that I am 26 years old and know pretty much nothing about this. :) Oh well, Its never to late to start right???

This is one look I want to try... Looks like maybe it should be simple enough??? Right??? YIKES!

As for my hair, I am really hopeless there too... I blame my hair for that. :) It is really difficult to do anything with. AND yes people who do hair have told me that. NOW, I said difficult, not impossible. I really think that I might be able to train it to do some things and it will also take lots of practice for me to learn so I am going to try. 

I love this look! Nice and simple for every day but still looks like she tried to do something with it.

So, my plan is to pick a new makeup look and hair style and try it every so often. I think everyday would be a bit much so I am going to try maybe 3 new looks a week to begin with. :) I will post pictures and keep you all updated along the journey. :) 

Fast and Furious Weekend!

So, as some of you know I recently moved. I now live in Ohio (I know completely random) and last week was the Brown County Fair. I LOVE FAIRS and it was such a blast to be there. To hear more about the fair and our experience check out my other blog. 

I also ordered some new Washi tape this weekend. Well, I ordered it last week but she is closing out the orders and stuff like that. I can't wait to get it in! :) If you read my last post you know that I am falling head first into an addiction with this amazing decorative tape. :) So, here is a sneak peak of what I ordered this weekend. 

                                       

I am so excited to get these kits in and start decorating with them! :)

I also ordered a few of these sets of thin washi that I can't wait to get! :) I am using this kind of wash to color code my bills in my planner so I needed more of it so it was fate when I found this lady that sells this washi! :) 

Don't worry! Like I said I didn't order ALL of these, even though I wanted too!!!

She is AMAZING! I just met here though her group on Facebook which you can find HERE but I have talked to her a bunch on Facebook and she is tons of fun! :) Go over and check out her page! :) 

Thank you Saundra for all you do and I may have to go into a 12 step program for Washi addicts... Anyone know of any such thing???

How do you spend your spare time?

So, I am working on coming up with some hobbies I am interested in. Now that I am here in Ohio I have more room in my house and lots of things I have wanted to do... One of them is learn to sew. I have my sewing machine out and I have messed with it a little bit. I need to get some scrap fabric to practice with just haven't had the time or been anywhere to get any.  I have perused the lovely Pinterest and found LOTS of projects I want to try. First I have to get used to using my machine. The problem right now is I am pretty much terrified of my machine. :)  That and I am pretty much allergic to straight lines... :) I'll learn eventually though. 

This is the beginning of my craft area... I have the sewing table set up and we got the shelves to keep other craft stuff on. I can't wait to get the rest of the storage stuff that I want to put in there and really bring the whole room together. 

I want to order some bins from Thirty One to put on the shelves to keep some of the little things in. This is one of the bins I want to get.

Another one of the hobbies I am working on is planning and decorating my planner. I don't have many things to plan right now but I plan on changing that with my Thirty One business and having more parties. I am building up quite the collection of Washi tape so I am hoping to get this bin soon to keep it all more organized... Well, at least all in one place.  Interested in the bins??? Just click on the picture and it will take you directly to my website. 

So, share with me... What are your hobbies??

Are there any new things you are wanting to try???
