Riding The Elephants

So today i was supposed to have a Birthday outfit post but when your having too much fun you forget to take pictures. So today i am going to tell you about one of my favorite memories riding a elephant!

So if you know me really well you will know that I'm in love with elephants. I have room decor of them i have shirts and scarfs i just love them ! Well lets jump into the story.One year me and my sister Samantha took a trip to go and visit my dad in California  We had all decided to go to the big fair that was around them we rode rides and got some awesome food and just had a great time.

At the end we were just about to leave and i realized that you could ride elephants.I hurried over to where they were and instantly got in line for a ticket. I didn't really care how much it cost all i knew was i wanted to ride that elephant. Now some of you may think this is cruel and that they treat there animals wrong. I have seen that and i WILL not ride those. This one looked really good and the people seemed genuine. Anyways so me and my sister got up and it and we rode the elephant, i was super excited and pet it the entire time i was on it. I still  say that i want to ride in on a elephant to my wedding but don't think that it will really happen. So this is just a little memory of mine that i wanted to share with you all and i hope you enjoyed it. 

The 4 Best Things About Fall

So i would like to think that the fall  is here and that it is officaly fall even if the first day is on the 23rd. I love everything about fall  from the smells to the activities fall is the best season. so i wanted to tell you guys the 4 things i love the most about the fall season. 

1. The fashion, i love to wear all of falls fashions. scarfs, big sweaters, boots and all that fun stuff.  there is just something about being cozied up in a over sized sweater and uggs or boots and going to a camp fire or pumpkin picking. 

2. The next thing that i like about the fall time is the activities . I love doing anything fall related, i love to go apple picking and on hay rides and its around that time that we go out and tag our Christmas tree. I look forward to going apple picking this year and to making new traditions for the fall. 

3.Next would have to be the fall scents. I love all of the musky and fall smelling perfumes and candles  I love to get my candles from two different places bath and body works and Yankee candle. I also like to get my fall body sprays from bath and body works as well. 

 

That pecan waffle one looks like it will smell so good and i may have to see if i can purchase it like right away. 

4. The final thing that i love and may be my favorite thing about fall is the food. I love the pumpkin and apple and pecan pies. As well as any warm dish i can get my hands on but i think my favorite dinner might be some sweet potato enchiladas.

What led me to Cosmetology ?

Hello everyone so i am sorry that i didn't post anything in the last week. Coming home from vacation i  jumped right into my normal schedule and just needed a little break. But i am back and at it and planning some awesome and fun post for you all ! so lets get on started on why i choose to become a hair dresser !

The Beginning : 

So i think everything  started when i was in middle school, i had three different things i wanted to be when i got older. A writer, a model, and a hairdresser.As i got older i just knew that this was what i was meant to do, making people feel beautiful and creating a self confidence in them. In my senior year of high school i struggled with well i want to do missions and do what God is calling me to do with homeless but at the same time i still really want to become a hairdresser. I didn't know how to use both of the talents i was given and put them together and i am honestly just starting to figure all that out.

Cosmo School:
Have you ever thought that you were going to be really good at something but didn't get it right away and wanted to give up ? Well i have and that is what i felt like my first couple weeks in beauty school. I thought i was awful at what i was doing i was never going to get it right and i just sucked at cutting hair. I am glad that i stuck with it though because i LOVE my job and what i was made to do. Though school was hard at first i finally got into the grove of things. I had my moments where it was tough and i wanted to just give up but i stuck with it and i am sure glad that i did.

Could i see myself anywhere else? 
I think  about being in a different job a ton. I wonder what it would be like and what type of person i would be. but in the end i know for a fact that God made me to be a hairstylist. Not just for it to be my job but to be able to help and serve others and to build there confidence and teach them about Jesus Christ.

What was your dream job growing up? Are you doing what you thought you would be? leave a comment bellow and let me know.

4 Ways To Give Back This Fall

Hello my beautiful friends so today we are going to be talking about 4 different ways to give back this fall ! I love giving  back to my community in todays post some of these things will be things I've done or some will be the things that I want to do. So lets jump right in.

1. Make Blessing bags : I have done this before and let me say it was a huge hit ! I found this idea through someone on YouTube and I loved it! basically what it consists of is toiletry items in  a bag and you leave them in your car and when you see a homeless person you give them out. we did them a little differently we made about 100 of them and took them out to the city of providence and we handed them out to the homeless and just stopped and talked to them and go to know them. we ended up going back multiple times and just hanging out feeding them dinner and playing board games with them.
2. Bring pies to the fire and police department:  This is another thing that I have done with my family and its pretty cool. My little cousin wanted to do something for the people who were working during thanksgiving so we baked up some pies and brought them down. The fire fighters and police officers were so great full that someone would stop and do this for them.  
3. Put together a care package for a missionary or a military person: This is one that I have never done before but I am going to have to try. Go to your church or even ask on Facebook if anyone knows a military or missionary and explain that you want to send them a care package. Assemble up some goodies you think they will like or need and send it off there way. they will be so thrilled that someone took the time to do this and thought of them .
4. Bring toys to your local homeless shelter:  They tend to need more toys around Christmas time to give to kids. My local shelter has a little shop where the less fortunate can come and Christmas shop for there kids. so check into your shelters and see if they have this as well or if they have any need for old toys or clothes.

5 ways to love your self

Hello everyone so today I am going to be talking about 5 different ways to love on yourself. This is something that I think every girl and man should do. So lets jump right in and get started. ( if only you could hear me talking this out right now.)

1. Schedule time for you this is a big one just take at least 5 minuets to be with you. To regroup and just Be. I think this is important to do you don't have to go and have a entire spa day to yourself. You could sit in your room, go for a drive , or even go to the ocean and sit.

2. Listen to your compliments this is something I feel a lot of people struggle with I know I do a lot. Someone comes over and tells you "you are beautiful" or "you are a amazing person". You say thank you and move on but I think its a good thing to take that in and stop and say yes I am a beautiful or person or yeah I kind of am amazing. Take the compliment and realize it.


3. Know your limits and learn to say no this is something I feel like I struggled with for a long time. I remember this one time where I had just started working and was assisting in a salon I was there all day which I was not used to. I got a text message from a  friend of mine asking me to babysit her two kids and I battled in my break room if I should say yes or no. Finally I just said yes because I felt bad and didn't want her to not have a babysitter. That night I was so aggravated at everything because I was just simply tired. I should have said sorry no its been a long day for me I need to rest. So just stop and know what you can take and what you cant take and say NO if you have to.


4. Create a list of things you do well and read it often I love this idea. Make a list of 5 or 10 things that you do great that you are the best at. Take 20 minuets to just think about the things that your good at in every aspect of your life. This will defiantly be a confidence booster for you .

5.  Smile at everyone  this will do a lot to help you love yourself. For me when I am making others happy I make myself happy. You lift people up you lift yourself up as well. try this for a day and see what it can do for you.

Back to School outfits

Ciao my lovely readers so today we are going to be talking about back to school ! When I was in high school I always hated having to go back but the one thing I did love about going back was the shopping. I loved shopping for school clothes and putting together outfits and looking cute my first week ! So I have planned for you a week worth of outfit ideas for you all to try out. So lets get started.

Monday : Comfy But Cute

x

So its the First day and you want to look cute but you also want to look like your not trying too hard so a t-shirt dress is the perfect option. I love striped t-shirt dresses and I threw in the pink necklace to add that pop of color and to make it fun. I love love these shoes and think ankle boots are going to be awesome this fall ! And of course a back pack for all those papers you will be carrying around as well as books.

Tuesday: Boho Chic

I LOVE this outfit this is something I would wear like every day. I think that its kind of cute and casual but its still put together for school . I love the color of the shirt and the bagginess of the cardigan gives it a boho feel to the outfit. I also love the white ripped jeans and think you can defiantly wear them after labor day !

Wednesday: Comfy Casual

So I know that my the middle of the school week I am completely burnt out I am so tired and just want summer to be back. So I came up with a outfit that just lets you be comfy! leggings are my go to comfy pants. You also can never go wrong with a muscle tee just add a Bralette under and you will be good to go. I know some of you cant wear hats in school but if you can defiantly wear one it brings the outfit Together. And finish this look with a cute pair of white converse.

Thursday: Lace all the way

This outfit is so cute for a hot school day. With the lace shorts you are still put together. I love the blue necklace and that it adds color to this look. I have to say that this is one of my favorite outfits.

Friday : Dressed up Comfy

This is so cute to me! I love the color of the maxi skirt it makes the look POP. I also know sometimes you cant wear like small straps so I added in the jean vest and I think it gave this really casual vibe to look instead of being dressed up. I added the heel because I think its ok to wear a little heel to school and this one isn't that big. The thing I love about this outfit is after school you are ready to go and hang out with your friends or go on a date and you wont need to change !

So that is it for all of the first week of school outfits ! I enjoyed making these on polyvore and am definatly going to be making more fashion post with these outfit pictures ! What are some of your favorite school fashion staples ? Also which outfit was your favorite ?

I hope you all have awesome weekend and if you are going back to school or have already started school have a amazing year and make the best of it ! until next time !
