It's what I do....

So.... Since Hair is what I do best, why not share it? As you all know, I go to Toni & Guy currently for my operators license, then starting in September, I am thinking about starting the teachers program that is an additional 4-6 months.

Spring is here! Praise GOD! And I would just like to share with you the new spring lines of color and cuts from both TIGI (Toni & Guy) and Loreal Paris, Not just the 'generic' Loreal line that is sold at stores or used in platform artistry.

Cuts:

The Cropped bob
The Pixie Crop
Long Hair
The Bob


The cropped bob, is also know as the graduated bob to us TIGI girls.

The pixie crop, IT is a classic bob but slightly stacked in the back. most ladies are calling it the Victoria Beckham bump or the katie holmes style.

Long hair, however generic, is ofter thought of in the wrong light. Long hair is about to the shoulder blades when your head is up right and all the hair is behind your shoulders.

The bob, I have the bob! ( yay, I'm in this season!) IT is (generally) an all one length round cut that hits right below the chin.

Also this spring season, 'milkman braids' are everywhere! A single braid in the front hair line.

I will post pictures of some of my cuts and some examples of this season cuts and colors.

HAIR HAIR HAIR!!!

As you all know, I am currently a student at Toni & Guy hair dressing academy, and i love it!!! March 18 was our annual hair show. It is out on as a runway fashion hair show. The students (me) select a model and you have to do thier hair, make up and wardrobe, basically everything about them and down to every detail. You can choose to enter one of five catagories: Cut, Colour, Texture, Avante Garde or Modern Man. I was entered in the texture catagory. Essetially, for texture you have to show the maximum texture of the models hair, ie: curls, crimps, perms, wraps and so forth. I chose to do a route tonging curl all over my models head. It took about 5 hours to completely finish her hair, but as you see in the pictures, I only used her natual hair there is no weave or extensions used, amazingly!

I ended up taking first place in my catagory!!!!! Now, I get to head down to Dallas texas in April to compete again in anouther runway show as well have my work published and have a portfolio put together by a paid for professional phtotgrapher!....PINCH ME!

This show was amazing, so much fun and I learned so much about the industry I want to head into!...keep me in your prayers!

Also, thinking about everything just even 6 months ago I would have never in my life thought I would be where I am right now. God is always surprising me! But I love what i am doing and I cant wait to see where I can go next!

Its been too long...

It has been way too long since I have posted! I am busy, but not too busy, we have lives. I don't really know where to start, but recently, Casey and I went down to Lee to visit Jeremiah! It was amazing! I miss him so very badly, and all of his friends are great! Casey will be calling Lee her home in the future so that's just another reason to love it! The drive home was terrible, not because of the drive, just because that we knew we were heading back to, snow, cold, life, and no Jeremiah! But we both made some very good friends and cannot wait for our next trip down!

School is awesome! I absolutely love what I am doing! It challenges me everyday and my hair and nails looks good at the same time, so why would I not like it! haha, lol! Also, I go an 119% on my latest final exam at TIGI, Praise God! Yes, I got the bonus questions!

Speaking of praising God, lately, It really the only thing that makes me feel better. There is just nothing like praising God, jumping around, being undignified and feel completely fulfilled! Ill tell you what, charismatic is where it at y'all! Also, being in the face of the secular world all day everyday is trying, but, praising God, it is honestly the only thing that has kept me sane! LOL!

Sigh.

lately my life has been so crazy, but that doesnt mean much because it seems that no matter my situation or level of business, I dont even compare to the rest of the world, which I must say, amazes me!

im going to Toni & Guy which a hair dressing school in Erie. I love it! I love hat i'm doing and the people I am surrounded by, which I have found out that if i dont have those two things, I am not only unhappy but fial misserably. I also feel like God has opened and closed many doors to get me to where i am right now and that is scary and amzing to me. I hate that no matter how sure you think you are about God's will there is always something more or a curve ball that come from no where! That is where I am right now, for now. We will see what happened in this next year, I feel like 2009 is going to be a huge year for me!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

Oh my word, there is just so much snow! The hot tub in my back year has disappeared and our drive is has become narrowed due to the overwhelming snow piling up! Also, tonight Shevel and I went to Ohio to pick up my new car, :) , it took us about two hours to get there then about three and a half to get home, lets just say, when we left it wasn't snowing! So anyways, I am now the owner of a 2002 Silver Ford Taurus!

Jeremiah is coming home for Thanksgiving, He will be home really late Monday night!!! YAY! Oh m it has been over three months since I have seen him, its about time he proves he a real person instead of a voice on the phone!I also start school back up December 2nd. I excited but a little upset I have to wake up in the morning now! but thats all that going on here up in this winter wonderland so far this week!

NEW!

They re are so many new things going on right now! I went to a new position in Wilmar, I work in infants, and I like it so much better than the front end and what I use to do. Also I have made a new discovery, I can fit/wear kids clothes size large, which is so cool, because over the summer I had gained some weight, and over the past month I lost it all plus some so I am very happy about this new discovery!

Also, tonight I went to a bible study and we were just chit-chatting and went off on a different subject than intended and i was very thought provoking. We were talking about why bad things happen to good people. Now the bible does say that all of sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; it also says, that none of us are 'good', not one. So isn't it much easier to look at that question (why do bad things happen good people?)if we ask, why do bad things happen to bad people? Also someone had asked hte question, what if someone dies at a young age, is that a test from God or a punishment? And the Scripture Hebrews 9:27 " Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement." I believe that scripture doesn't mean that anyone has a "time", or a "specific time" to die, I believe that that verse is just stating that all men will die, you cant avoid it! So, if you go and get drunk, then get behind the wheel, you are making a choice that you are responsible for, so if you die because you were driving drunk, you have to be responsible for that choice. It "wasn't your time", don't blame God for your sin, essentially. Please give me your thought on this one.

College...

I hate college. I know it will be over soon, I think that is the only reason that I am still hangin in there. Anatomy and physiology is very difficuly. The lab that goes with is ok, i do well in there, but this anatomy is kicking my butt. I am also taking statistics which is easy, I am aslo taking Contemporary Social Problems which gives an economic, political and social view on all sociology. I love that class!! And because im talking about it, i just remembered i do have homeowrk due for that class tomorrow. Anywho, I have also had the flu this week, ew. but its ok Im feeling better.
