I recolored my hair again. I think I have a problem. But, my hair is all healthy again, and I can now let it grow back out! 

Can I just say how much I love the Urban Outfitters sale section? Only time I ever shop there. Walk in, and go straight for the sales in the back. I managed to get the jacket for half off, and the dress for only $10 when it was originally $80. Talk about a bargain! I'm obsessed with cut outs on dresses, so I couldn't pass it up. Plus I love the army green color of it. My friend, Megan Lane (who also took these photos), gave me the turquoise cuff I'm wearing. Her grandmother was getting rid of all her old jewelry, and Megan decided to pick up a couple of the pieces that she knew I would love. Thanks again Megan!

Sometimes, after it's been raining, you can see the mountains from here in the central valley. And, since it's been raining so often lately, I can quite often see them. Pure beauty. Every time I'm tempted to keep driving towards them. These photos were taken out near the foot hills, next to the Kings River. I swear, my wander lust will never cease. The travel bug has bitten me yet again.

Hallelujah! It has actually cooled off enough here in Fresno that we're not sweating our asses off when shooting outside (it's under 100 degrees.. This is huge). Always shooting on Mondays at the church where Kuppajoe is held, I swear. So, um, I styled my fringe differently, and it kind of makes my hair look longer than it is, so hooray for that? I just want it to grow out already! Also, apparently my feet have gotten bigger again, because when I was first sent these Dolce Vitas, they were way too big on me. Now they fit just fine. This excites me as these are my favorite pair of sandals EVER. Also, these sunglasses. Someone just left them sitting on the bar at Kuppajoe a few weeks ago. I let them sit there all night to see if the owner would claim them. No one did, so I claimed them for myself. Love!

I also went to the chiropractor yesterday and got beat up again. My shoulders have been terribly crooked for YEARS. So, (it will be a hell of a long process) my chiropractor is slowly trying to train my right shoulder to stay up where it's supposed to be. This could take who knows how long because it's been trained to sit way lower than it's supposed to over the years. At least it's finally being attended to. It's caused me so many back and neck problems, which is no good when you're working as a hairstylist. But other than that, I've been relaxing and enjoying my three day weekend! It's back to the grind tomorrow. 

Hope you've all started off your week grand!

So, the other day I decided to wander around Forever 21, and found myself in the sale section, all of which was buy one get one free. I came across a gorgeous tie dye dress (which you will see in another post), and then knew I had to bust a mission to find another piece for free. The sale sections there were so huge it nearly gave me an anxiety attack. I picked up a few pieces I thought could be possibilities to try on. Right as I was about to head to the fitting room, my eyes caught sight of these AMAZING bell bottoms. I saw them, and knew it was over. HAD. TO. HAVE. I have a slight obsession with bell bottoms. I immediately knew I'd have to pair it with a black band tee to add to the retro vibe, and this Pink Floyd fringed top was the perfect choice. And of course.. I HAD to pair this with my Dolce Vita platforms. Retro perfection! 

Taking these photos was not exactly the easiest task ever. I wanted to use more of the fence as a backdrop, but the neighbor's dogs would NOT SHUT UP. One of them kept poking it's head through a hole in the fence. Way to ruin it, dogs.

Anyway, I've been keeping pretty damn busy with school and volunteer work at Kuppajoe. Things are overall going well. I'm yet again disappointed in humanity though. Saturday, my mom came in to my school (Paul Mitchell, for those of you who don't already know) so I could cut her hair. Within the time I was cutting her hair, someone managed to steal my doll head stand. WHY?! It's sad that we can't even trust anyone within our own school with our belongings. This isn't the first time it's happened either. I've had friends get their stands, scissors, and other tools stolen. Why, people? It's rather sad. I just don't understand the mindset or lack of conscious of some people.

Sigh.

P.S. - Some of the girls at school have started calling me "Combat Barbie". I am ever so slightly tempted to change my blog name to this. What say you?
