some of my hair history

I am a hairdresser... but even before I professionally became one, I had many different hair styles and colors. As exciting as that sounds, I only captured a few on film. I thought it would be fun to post a few and see everyone's reactions. Also, if you happen to have a weird/unique hair picture of me please send it my way via email. Thanks and enjoy!

My 26th birthday at Park City

So I decided for my birthday I wanted a getaway. Neither John or I had been to Park City, so that's where we went! We woke up Thursday morning and chose to go to a good breakfast. John had seen a special on the show, Diners Drive Ins and Dives about a place in Salt Lake called, the Blue Plate Diner. It was pretty good.

Then we drove to Park City and when we got there, it was pouring rain. So, our plans were delayed and we tried to kill time wandering around. I was feeling pretty disappointed.. so we thought we'd try to check in to our hotel early which thankfully they were fine with. We get to our room and see a kitchen and a living room...and that's it. No bedroom... there is a door that probably led to the bedroom but it was locked. So we call the front desk and explain that we wanted a place to sleep, hello! They said the bed was a pull out from the couch, uh... I guess there is a lot of mix ups when you buy online and not over the phone or whatever. Anyway, they were able to put us in a different room but told us we would only be getting the bedroom and not the kitchen/living room area. We didn't care about that as long as we had a place to sleep! So we get into the room and that door that connects the two rooms is open so we had access to the kitchen/living room after all though we really didn't use it.

Once that was all figured out we went to a movie, Inception. WOW!!! Go see it people, it was really good! After we left the theater it was sunny and beautiful outside so we went to the rides and rode the zipline. I rather enjoyed it! Here is a picture of us on the lift

We didn't have time to ride the other rides so we agreed to do that Friday morning before we left. So we head to dinner at a very good restaurant called, Ciseros. The service was good but kinda slow...we were getting bored waiting for them to check on us and we left a good half hour later than we wanted to. But here's a shot of us enjoying ourselves anyway.

Well we finally made it back to our hotel. We were anxious to try out the jetted tub in the bathroom. This was the main reason for booking this hotel. (John's main reason) Well it took forever filling up and once it was, we were out of hot water. So, there we were trying to enjoy a cool tub of water with each other. Eventually we gave up and I took a warm shower in the other room's bathroom. By this time we're both so tired and annoyed with our plans not working out how we expected we just turned on the TV to end then night. But, we get sucked into a VH1 special on one hit wonders of the 80's. That ended at 1am and for some reason neither of us could fall asleep til about 6am. Check out was at 10 so we get up unwillingly and go to check out. There is no one at the front desk. All there is is a sign that says the desk opens at 1pm. Uh, John and I are now thinking we should have just slept in because I guess they don't care to make sure you are checked out on time.

Well, we head over to the rides and go on the Alpine Coaster. That was a lot of fun but I was a little nervous so I braked a lot. Afterwards I wish I would have just let it go! We then attempted to ride the Alpine Slide however they said it was closed until the slide dried out. We didn't want to wait because it could have taken hours for all we knew so we headed home.

Once home we both crashed and took a nap for at least a good hour. Later that night I had some friends over for an 80's movie night. We watched Teen Wolf and E.T. It was fun and I want to say thanks to everyone who showed up!

Overall my birthday was fun and John and I had a good time. It's frustrating when plans don't go as planned but all you can do is laugh and enjoy what you do get to do! I was told that those times are the more memorable ones. That's good right?

Couches for sale!

We are selling these couches for $25 a piece. Need them gone ASAP. If anyone can take them before Monday you can have them for free! Please let me know if you're interested!

help the needy....me!

I am in desperate need of a new flat iron for work. The one I have keeps shorting out and I can't do my job properly without a good flat iron. My region is offering a free CHI flat iron if I can sell 50 products by the end of July. So, I'm asking everyone for help. Even blogging about it... which is kind of lame, I know. But I'm desperate. Please come by Fantastic Sams in North Orem and buy something from me! I'll even offer to cut your hair for free if you buy product! Thanks people!
here's a picture for some encouragement...

You Knew It Was Coming...

That's right, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is out and I've seen it twice already! Everyone is saying it is the best one yet and I think I agree. I think anyone can enjoy this movie, not just the fans. Now we just have to wait for FOREVER for the last movie, Breaking Dawn. It's supposed to be 2 movies and the first one is scheduled to come out November 2011 and the second Summer 2012. I really don't want to wait that long but I can see why they are doing this to us. So it better be amazing! Ok now time for a picture

but my lips hurt real bad!

Since about junior high I have not been able to live without my chapstick. (lip balm as john would say) I grew up using this weird stuff that NO ONE else has ever heard of let alone used. It's called Menthol Camphor and its awesome. I have a large tin about 4 ounces and a travel size that I keep in my pants pocket. Well a few months ago I lost my little one! Didn't know how didn't know when. It was awful. I was forced to lug around the large one in my purse until I could get a new travel version one. So after about 2 long weeks the new one arrived and I couldn't believe my eyes! I had really worn out my old one you see by refilling it over and over. This new one is just beautiful. Take a look for yourself, (old one on left if you couldn't tell)



About a month after I got the new one, my amazing husband found the old one deep in the hide-a-bed part of our couch. I'm not attached to the old one, it's his now!

kind of a funny coincidence.. remember the scene in Napoleon Dynamite when he calls home from school asking if some one can bring him his chapstick?? yeah, i did that...junior year... way before the movie and before cell phones and yea... I told you I can't live without it! My mother, who knows the tragedy of being without Camphor, kindly brought it to me in my second period class. Thanks again mom!

My love and fascination with SUPER HEROES

I'm not sure when this all started but the first memory I have of loving supers was my days of 8th grade. My best friend, Katy and I took upon ourselves the identities of characters from the Batman legacy. Katy was Catwoman, obviously, she had many pet cats and just loved cats in general. Me, being kind of a goof and well a blonde at the time, took on the persona of Harley Quinn, the Joker's side kick chick. I love reflecting on the good old days but I wonder if any of my readers out there didn't know I was an obsessed super hero fan! So, now ya know! Well anyhow, I really loved watching the Batman cartoon and I love the movies.


When I was 18 I got into Superman from watching the show, Smallville. I still watch the show unfortunately. It's pretty much butchered now but I fell in love with the super special effects. It's amazing watching someone run fast, punch through walls, use heat vision, and super hearing and so on. I think I just love the idea of having abilities, super powers! I'd give anything to be able to fly!!

I also got hooked into the show Heroes. It's really good too but again I feel like they shouldn't draw it out because after a while it'll end up butchered too. Anyway, personal feelings.

I do also love Spiderman and I enjoy Iron Man and Hulk and many others. I think its pretty awesome there are so many super hero movies made today because I never get tired of them!! I really want to be in one someday!
