Earlier today, the engaged friend decided she wasn’t ready for marriage. 2 minutes ago, my other friend who has been with her bf for 2 years went snooping (bad i know) on his computer and found out the bf had cheated on her 5 months into the relationship and is pretty upset. Now, everyone is single. Those that arent in relationships but are dating are mad at the guys? Me, im not mad at anyone. Im just having problems and i made a mistake by getting in touch with the ex and i regret it. i should have waited until it was truely necessary before getting in touch with him. There really is no reason to stay in contact with him. That’s the way i feel about exes. Its over, it’s done with and you’re like a stranger to me now and it felt strange talking to him on the phone.

Is there something in the freaking water? I will try and be there for my friends but i have my own shit to get together.

Also, i have good news. The guy at nordies called to offer me the job this morning and im going in tomorrow to fill out paperwork.

So everyone knows 99% of members of MUA are guys. Well, this guy signed up to ask the cafe advice about stuff. He’s a cross dresses and was married for 8 years and the wife had no clue. So we advised him to tell her. He came back tonight to tell us that he told her and she has packed her stuff. umm what did you expect? Now he’s thinking about cross dressing full time. Umm….wait…are you gay or straight? Cos if he’s cross dressing FT, then only guys would hit on him. It is really weird. Holy shit…i don’t think i
want to get married.

Too many problems and psychos running all over the place. How come the woman
didnt have a clue tho?


Miscellanous, Hair 4:32 am

Well, here’s the comparison:


Granted my hair in the first pic was straightened and the 2nd one wasnt, i was expecting to see OBVIOUS growth difference. UGH

Here’s some shiny ones just for shiny sake…..this one looks like those stupid flip up wigs. euwwww:



What? I had on BP treatment on my face!!


Do you see any bald spots? i dont. I guess it was just shed hair that was falling out. I really thot i was going bald. Yep, i’ve been up taking hair pics. I feel asleep earlier tonight and woke up feeling restless.

Here’s a token pic:


I just bought Nioxin smoothing protectives moisturizing shampoo to use as my gentle shampoo since i cant find my baby bees bar. So umm yeah i know i’ve been buying stuff lately and i guess i will blame it upon being stressed out over certain things. Shopping is definitely good therapy :) ....well, not reallyemoticon

So I cant sleep cos i had a migraine since this morning. I took 1 cafergot and 2 excedrin migraine. Im like wide awake. I was busy talking to some guy too. he seems cool. Lives in decatur but im leaning toward a LDR. I’m going to work on the guy that lives in Philly. I need someone i can see 4 times a year. That would be the perfect
 relationship. I look back and It seemed i was more comfortable in LDRs. 
Less maintenance too.

NSFW pics in the pdf document

HEFNERLAND


I got this from a friend. She instructed me to start from page 170 or was it 171. I cant believe that wrinkly old man has sex with so many women and doesnt use protection. And he has a round thing on his penis. That is just gross. A lot of people say the only one he sleeps with is Holly. I guess thats not true. And i think the whole idea is just silly. GROSS

Miscellanous 12:06 am

Well, i stumbled upon this gorgeous chi pink flatiron on target.com and i uh…bought it. It was 129 but i used a coupon and got it for 130 shipping and tax included. Its comes with chi silk infusion (how weird) and chi iron guard. I LOVE my maxiglide but i need something slim to get to the roots.

I cant wait to give it a try.

Well, i just discovered a band. They were on SNL last night. People said they sucked but i liked their performance. So i uh…got 2 of their songs. "Rebellion" and "Wake up" and i fell in love. Im now d/loading the rest of their songs. I still dont know the names of the ones that were performed on SNL. Well, thats 4 of their songs i like.
So far, my fav is "rebellion"

Miscellanous 3:30 pm

1. Maxesse moisturising shampoo
This product is made by the same company that makes the maxiglide. It came with my maxiglide when i ordered it off HSN. Ive had it for about 6 months and never bothered to use until a few days ago. I cannot find my Burt’s bees baby bees shampoo bar and this was laying around so i picked it up. It smelled good and once i applied it on my hair, can we say hard, tangled hair? It was a bad idea. Instead of giving it away, i threw it in the trash. I wouldnt want my enemy to use this shampoo. Well, not really :D

2. Kiehl’s leave in conditioner
I’ve used it twice. I like it. The first time, i didnt trust it so i applied my staple leave in after applying this one. The second time which was yesterday, i applied it and my hair feels soft today. The consistency is very thick so if i get it, i will mix with ashas silk rose leave in. Ashas is liquid and i found it hard to apply to my hair so ill mix both and see how they work together on my hair. I did ordered the full size 14.2 oz from saks.com last night and cant wait to receive it.

3. Kiehl’s heat protectant straightening cream
I used it for the first time last night and its definitely a keeper. Im not wearing my hair down so i dont know if its light weight. I still have a few more samples so i’ll use those before buying the bigger size.

4. MUAC 40% Lactic acid peel
I just used it a few minutes ago. I left it for 2 minutes instead of 1. It did burn a bit but not too bad but my face has a pink tinge to it. Next time, i will use this product on my neck. Im not sure what to look for to know if it’s working. I’ll keep an eye on my face for the next few days. I will use again next week and will increase the time to 4 minutes. The sample goes a loooong way. When im done with it, im contemplating getting the TCA peel but first, i want to get a sample of the glycolic peel to see which i prefer. I can then order a bigger size of the one that works for me

5. Elasta QP neutralizing shampoo
I bought this from a forum member because i heard good reviews about it. It didnt dry out my hair and my hair felt soft. I have the full size bottle and this will replace isoplus neutralizing shampoo and my HG neutralizing poo

:)

HairFebruary 24, 2007 10:24 pm

So yeah i did it. I was too scared to try silk elements so i used an old faithful. ORS no-lye. A few minutes into applying, it started burning but i waited the full 12 minutes. I then rinsed and used Elasta QP neutralizing shampoo. I used it 3 times. I had put a conditioner mixture aside. Kenra MC, Paul Mitchell the detangler, this cinnamon conditioner and castor oil. I saw a lot of my hair coming out so i quickly mixed joico k-pak with it, applied to my hair and put on a shower cap. I then rinsed out and moisturized. As i was combing, CLUMPS of hair kept coming and wouldnt stop. I was crying and shaking by then. It was awful. Im not sure if its just shed hair or if its breakage. Either way, i ordered a bottle of nexxus emergencee and will use it next week.
I wanted to air dry but i decided to blow dry. I used the Kiehl’s heat protectant cream and i think this will become a staple. We’ll see.

I have just a bit of shedding now. I’m not sure if it is due to the saheli cos i lot of people complained about that. I dont want to know. It doesnt matter because im no longer taking it.

I THINK my hair is a bit longer. Not sure and dont really want to know. My main focus at the moment is the health of my hair

Miscellanous 4:42 am

Much hatred…no?

Guess who’s myspace page i stumbled upon? I heard from the grapevines that he and "phone sex operator" were no longer together. Omgwtfbbq Werent you head over heels in love with her? And werent you shacking up with her? I guess that wasnt independent enough for you. And oh noez. Werent you head over heels in love with me too? You poor thing…..you need to think before talking shit. Umm i guess you need to find another girl that is bringing you lotsa money so you can quit your job and become a couch potato.
Unfortunately you dated me and guys that talk shit about me don’t always end up happy. Its just freaking Karma loser

This is really making me snicker every few seconds and of course i linked your page on the forums and uh yeah, you sound really bitter. I’ve now learned to stay away from guys that enjoy talking about afflicting pain to small animals. They’re always the fuck-tards. Learn from your mistakes Joey.

Much Love,

Miscellanous, Hair 4:10 am

Hmm, ill prob. relax tomorrow evening or sunday. Im confused on what relaxer
to get. I’m thinking silk elements. I would go to the hair salon but the lady seems
 to enjoy flat ironing my hair and im done with that. She uses those ones that they heat up. I prefer and trust my maxiglide!! And im not even a heat advocate in the first place.

Which reminds me….i wanted to get drunk tonight but i changed my mind.

Anyhoo, so yeah, i’ll go and get Silk elements relaxer and also get Nexxus
 emergencee. I’ve put off getting this product for YEARS and i think its 
time to see what the rave is all about? I was about to purchase a
replacement of my joico k-pak reconstructor but eh….i dunno.

I tried the sample of kiehl’s leave in coditioner that i got and i liked it so 
its a possibility that i will buy from saks.com.

So yep, i’ve already based my scalp and ends with lots of vaseline and will
add more when its time. Relax, use the elasta qp neutralizing shampoo and
mix up kenra MC with different oils, glycerin and lactic acid. leave in will be
Ashas silk rose elixir. I trust it…..I will definitely air dry and will report on
how much hair i lose. I didnt detangle fully. I know i should have but i get
very upset when i lose hairrrrrr. 

A board member is sending me silicon mix as RAOK. Im so happy and i cant
wait to receive and try it. I hope i see it in the mail sometime next week.
I’ve really missed my hair :)

Oh I also need to get Kenra clarifying. Im out and suave clarifying is good
but Kenra is the best! Im excited!

Miscellanous 3:55 am

For the past week, we’ve had like 5 spammer join 
the board. Then, we only had one psycho bitch
 banned. This was someone we knew that joined
 to bitch about nothing. Im wondering if it’s 
because i linked the forum to the blog? I went ahead and deleted the link and i’ll see if we get any more spammers telling us about viagra and penis enlargement. If things continue, i’ll might add the link back on monday.
Come to think of it…might it be the name of the forum that’s drawing them? But NC also has spammers too….weird

BTW, i had a wonderful time tonight. w00t!!

I ordered 4 samples of BPAL scents. It takes WEEKS for people to receive their order. Probably because of the high volume of orders and the mixing they have to do to make the oils. Im excited. I got:
dorian
Productville review
shanghai

tamora
Reviews
titania
No reviews

ETA: I didnt think to check out reviews on MUA. Not sure what i was thinking but these are some of the scents recommended to me by members on the BPAL forum for my allergies.
I also put in an offer for a RAM for my laptop. I hope its the right one and i hope he accepts the offer.

So the new house is a done deal. I noticed that my mum is already changing addresses and stuff. Tope was complaining that the place was far so i gave her the new address and the old adress and its only 2 minutes farther from atlanta. I guess from the current place, its about 15 minutes cos we dont go from the highways.

Umm why on earth am i just discovering google’s satellite mapping. Coooooool.

Im not sure if i should be excited or what not. I have other things to look forward to. :P

Yep, the break up happened last night. Im really not upset over it. I deleted the ONLY pic of us ever and his phone number and blocked him on IM. Uh i also threw the valentine’s day card in the trash. It was not progressing and the smoking got to me. I saw this coming last night and let him know. Jeez….i love my feminine intuition. It never fails me. LOL
He "says" he’s moving to FL for his job but i don’t believe him and it’s really none of my business. I’m not trying to place ALL the blame on him but as far as I know, I was an amazing gf. hehe. I don’t see a reconciliation or any kind of friendship in the future. Not for a particular reason. 

This break up was a breeze. Thanks Thomas for not going psycho on me :)

Well, i don’t need saheli anymore so im going to get off it. I don’t think it had any advantages except from BC but we’ll see. If i notice anything different, i’ll get back on it.

I found something else to spend my money on. BPAL. They make scents and im hoping i will find something that wont cause headaches.

I’m looking to buy a new phone. If i dont see anything i like, i might get the white BB but im really rooting for a sony ericsson.

Last night’s grey’s anatomy was AMAZING. They kinda stretched it for a while but i loved the ending. Am i the only one that was finally happy when they killed Meredith’s mom. Ugh

I received my lactid acid peel yesterday and i might use it this weekend. But i think i have a date. I might not go cos im not in the mood. I need to catch up on school stuff. he’s been asking me out and "waiting" for while. Might as well do it and get it over with.

I’ll keep on adding as i rediscover more. these are tried and true…as in ive tried em and they’ve worked for me!

-To apply eyeshadow wet (mineral or normal) spray mix fix + spray on the brush. If its a powder, pick up whatever amount you need with your brush and spray the fix + on it.
-ALWAYS apply moisturiser before applying foundation. Makes application smoother and easier
-Use eyelash curler before applying mascara and heating it(if its metal) helps
-Apply eyeshadow before foundation. So that you can clean up spillage from the eyeshadow
-Drugstore makeup doesnt have staying power and are not highly pigmented compared to mid and high end brands. A good drugstore brand for eyeshadows is milani. They are highly pigmented but dont have an abundance of colors.
-If you break out easily from foundation, try mineral foundation. Unfortunately, they tend to make me look pastey so if you’re dark skinned, might as well forget it!
-when applying makeup, start with a small amount. and then build up to get what you need. Its better than applying too much and then having to clean up and start again

I was browsing reviews for fyrinnae eyeshadows when someone mentioned this one. Well, their samples and full sizes are cheaper. The full size is 5g and its like 3 bucks while fyrinnae’s full size products are 3g for like 5 bucks. They ship samples for free Im going to browse and get a few samples. I noticed that most of the fyrinnae samples i got are mostly green. I have too many MAC purple eyeshadows so my next purchases might be blue and other colors that are different from what i currently have. I love discovering stuff like this :)

So i got these sample baggies:

Iris
Impact
Crush
Sunflower
Eleanor

-I received the camellia oil in the mail and i cant wait to try it!

Hi Renee,
Thanks for your kind note.
40% lactic acid is your absolute-best-choice as a first time "peeler." This is a gentle peel that doesn’t produce visible peeling, but rather beautifully exfoliate the skins, deep cleanses the pores, evens-out skin tones, and provides a generally more-refined texture and tone for your skin. It’s perfect for your current skin care needs.
Here a link to that page for your ready-reference:

Best regards,
The Team @ Makeup Artist’s Choice

So i ordered the lactic acid peel. FYI, i gave them info about my skin condition, problems and my age. If anyone wants to do the same thing, send them an email at the "contact us" link on their website. HTH

So yesterday, we had our valentine’s day lunch/dinner 
at the melting pot. The food was good and
 the service was excellent. We drove around for 
a while, went to Phipps but i didnt buy anything
 unfortunately which is good cos i’ve found something
 else to spend my money on. LOL
We then went to meet his friends at some hotel cos
one of them was celebrating his b’day. The guys
were cool but the girls were being…..girls. Me
and a drunk girl went to the bar and got 1 glass
or wine and some drink called "french whore" each.
The drink was really strong and i drank it really fast.
ugh. i think i was a little tipsy cos we had already
drank one huge glass one yin & yang at the MP
so i guess that made things worse. So i woke up  
this afternoon with a HUGE headache and now i
need to stuff myself with painkillers so that i can
study for my test tomorrow!! I really need to stop
drinking alcoholic drinks so much. ugh
