Life Changes and New Directions

Turning this blog into a new direction! My life has changed a lot in a little over a year since I've last been on here and by the header of my page you can guess in what way! I had a baby girl December 19, 2012 whom we named Willow! She is the light of our lives and just an absolute joy to be around! I'm not just saying this because I'm her Mom but she really is amazing! The more I post the more you'll see!  The purpose of my newly changed blog is that I wanna share any tips and finds I have as a Mother! I wanna share any kind of makeup tips/hair tips for the busy Moms who don't have time to even sit for a second and if I find a good deal on anything from food to baby stuff I wanna help a fellow Mom out as well! Follow me on our journey of new parenting and all the fun and thrills along the way! :)

The medicine profiles the line.

Paid Per Tweet dot com!

So I just ran across this website called Paidpertweet.com and what it does is pay you for the advertisements you tweet on your page! I haven't gotten to far along in it but the first thing it asks you to do it post this link!



I'll keep y'all posted on how this goes! lol I keep hearing good things about it so let's hope it's worth it! lol :)

Later!

Whenever, Whatever

I AM SOOO BORED!!! I didn't know how else to start this blog then with that! haha I am just sitting at work obviously and bored out of my mind because I literally have nothing to do! Ok well I could file somethings but that can wait until the last 5 or 10 minutes before I leave! haha Anyway It's been a while since I have written a blog so where do I start...I never know what to talk about here because I am wanting to make this a beauty blog/semi-personal blog as well and well I have been too broke to buy anything recently so I can't update on anything like that! How about one of Summer's famous rambles?! That sounds fun! haha Tonight I am very excited because my best friend Kirsten is coming over for a sleepover!!! :) I love how I call her up to vent and the next words out of her mouth are..."I'll come over tonight and cook you dinner and we'll make a girls night out of it and paint our nails and watch movies! :)" Ummm Friend of the year award or what?! I think so! haha :D So that's my plans for the night and I can not wait! For those of you who don't know I have another website (No way Summer has another website?!...haha) with Justin.tv that's called Justin.tv/summytv :) We will prolly be on there sometime tonight broadcasting live some of our night if anyone is interested in checking that out! :) Anyway besides all that guess what?! I can not believe it but I am actually getting the hair dye itch again...I just went red and I am wanting to dye it brunette!!! I can never keep a color for that long...I have to admit I was blonde for a good while tho last time! haha Idk I am liking the red I just get bored so easily! I think if I added highlights to it I might like it even more! I might actually do that soon! :) Then maybe I can get to a nice strawberry blonde color! Oohhh I'm getting ideas now! hahaha Omg on another topic I think I have something wrong with me! This is gonna sound sooo conceited but I'm serious! I have been eating like a maniac lately it seems but at the same time just recently tho I feel like I'm losing weight?!!! Is that weird?! Maybe it's stress but at the same time with what I eat that shouldn't matter! haha I'm not too terribly concerned about it because I mean what girl would complain if they are losing weight and eating what they wanted right?! I don't know it's more than that tho because I am tired a lot and I always feel hungry so that's annoying...I don't know we'll see! I am gonna start working out here pretty soon and start tanning again hopefully so maybe if I get on this healthy kick (not that tanning is healthy lol) this will balance itself out! I am determined to get into shape and be tan this Summer (well hopefully by Spring even! haha) I'm breakin the rules and gonna be a tan redhead! haha Omg this whole blog is nothing but random and all over the place! I'm sorry if none of this makes any sense! I keep getting distracted by phone calls and people coming in the office! I should just call this The Blog of an ADD Person! hahaha Then at least I'd have an excuse for this mess! lol I think I am just going to stop this right here and saying bye see ya later's hahaha

Girls night and randomness

XOXO

Wish List in my dreams!!! hahaha

Everyone keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and honestly I don't care if I get anything! That's the truth! The older I get the more I appreciate the value of a dollar!!! haha Just for fun though I thought I would put together a little wish list of mine I create as I'm surfin the net! Who doesn't do that?! hahaha Things I would LOVE but would never want anyone to actually spend on me!!!

Ha yes I would trade my Chi for one of these bad boys!!! I have heard nothing but good things about this straightner and have wanted one for a while! I just have a perfectly good Chi-tah that my good Army friend gave me for my birthday a couple years ago so I didn't want to replace something that wasn't broken! This runs about $165ish! I'm saying that because it's apparently on some kind of sale at Sephora and that's what the price is right now from $185! 

The Canon Rebel Xs <3 <3 <3 I have wanted one of these cameras FOREVER!!!!! This is my Passion next to film editing!!! These can run you around $500 or less depending on where you buy it I have found many different prices and I am shocked at that price because I thought it was closer to $1000

Buckle Miss me Studded Jeans!!! I have wanted a pair of these forever but can't bring myself to spend nearly a $100 a pair!!!!! I buy my jeans at Rue 21 for $!9.99!!! haha These are exceptionally cute though and maybe one day I will splurge on a pair for myself...or I'll just buy a bedazzler and make my own! hahaha

I want these for my Jeep!!! They run a few $100's so I'm not exactly sure on the exact amount or even round about but yea more than my pocket change! haha They would look sooo cute on my Jeep tho and I have wanted some ever since I got my Jeep! :D

This is a little different than what most people would ask for prolly but I love these glasses by Baby Phat! They run about $117 I believe!!! I think they are just adorable! I don't think these are the exact ones they had at the store but I found these and I like them too because of the croc design and of course the big bling on the side! haha Whenever I decide to get a very needed check-up at the eye doctor I will hopefully get these!!! :D 

*Sigh* Isn't she beautiful?! I'mn otusually your typical gotta have it Coach Purse kinda girl but I love the Poppy collection and I LOVE this purse!!! I love shiny!!! It's all sequins and plaid is a plus! It's the POPPY SEQUIN TARTAN XL SPOTLIGHT!!! It runs about $585 on the website! One day...One day...:) *sigh*

Que the angel music!!! Ahhhh!!! hahaha The Orange and Black Polaris RZR!!! I want this SOOOO BAD!!!!! You have NO IDEA!!!!! These Dudes run about $14,000!!! YIKES!!! I will own one on day!!! Hopefully!!! hahaha

I want a treadmill soo bad too!!! I have wanted one for a while!!! This is just a random one I picked off of Walmart's website because it has one of the best star rating haha I just want any kind or brand tho as long as it's a good one! 

This Jacket is HOT! I have wanted a Biker Chick jacket for a while ever since I started riding on the back of my boyfriends bike! I just love it! I love the quilted design at the top and how it comes together at the neck! It's just all around a hott jacket! :D

This jacket it just awesome! I found it on Victoria Secret's website and it's a 4-in-1 Cargo Jacket!!! 

Here is one of the styles it can change into!!! :D It's more of a vest look! :)

This is a more cropped vest! Very cute!!! :)

This is a cropped jacket look! This is sooo cute! This jacket runs about $78!!!

 Well there you have it! That is my Wish List IN MY DREAMS!!! hahaha Maybe I'll get some of those eventually but not anytime soon!!! haha I hope anyone who read this had fun and I encourage you to make your own Wishlist IN YOUR DREAMS! You may not actually get any of the things you wish for but it's fun to window shop and try and make out some kind of goal to maybe eventually try and get the things you want! :D If anyone wants to share there wishlist please feel free to tell me yours!!! :D 

With love and window shopping wishes xoxo,

Summer <3

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey

Oh life...How it keeps going and changing everyday...It waits for no one and you just gotta keep up and keep goin along with it no matter what gets thrown your way in your path...(my vanilla chai tea latte I made this morning and put into my Buc-ee's mug just started crackling...is that weird?! Because I think yes!) Oh hey, I have ADD I just haven't been properly diagnosed...anyway as I was saying about my in depth thought about life...oh eff it I lost it...haha I originally planned for this blog to be about shopping and good deals and makeup and it still will!!! Don't run away yet if anyway actually cared...haha I still will add those here and there because trust me I have found some good ones lately and just never posted them...I don't know what good that does any of you but I'm just sayin HEY I still shop! haha Woo BIG surprise! haha I want this to be sort of a blog as well! Something to get my thought and randomness out here and there! Wow I know you can't see this but it says "chai" is misspelled but "randomness" is spelled correctly...odd. I wasn't aware that was actually a word! haha Another thing I want to do with this blog is express new ideas I have on upcoming projects I wanna do!  As most of my close friends know I am a complete video editing nerd and love making silly videos!!! I have one I am hoping to film tonight with my sister or brother whom ever comes over tonight if they can so someone can help me film it(...and borrow their laptop top...)! I don't wanna give away what it is but I think it's gonna be good!!! :D Yea I need a laptop BAD!!! Mine finally crapped out on me! It just up and decided it wasn't going to go to the log in page at all so it'll just stay on and do nothing!!! Just a blank screen! Don't call me impatient because I waited 2 hours (I watched tv it wasn't like I sat there and stared at the screen for 2 hours haha) for it to come on!!! Anyway I need a laptop...lol I prefer a Mac book pro now just for the editing program it has! Enough about that though it's making me sad I don't have a  computer...On another note if anyone has not gotten the new Taylor Swift Cd you totally should OMG it is AMAZING!!! One song I LOVE is "Better Than Revenge" it's supposedly suppose to be about Camilla Belle because of the whole Joe Jonas thing and if you listen to the song you'll believe it's about her as well! I haven't gotten to listen to the cd very much since I got it because right after Branden gave it to me as a late anniversary gift :) my radio went out mysteriously!!! It worked all weekend before the weekend of Halloween and then I didn't drive it Monday then Tuesday it didn't come on when I turned on my car!!! YES we checked the fuse box!!! That's was the very first thing we checked!!! Id on't know it's either a wire or it just up and died!!! On top of that note I still need to get my car to the shop and get it fixed from when someone decided it would be ok not to look where you're going when backing out of someone's dark driveway and back right into my Jeep!!! Oh if it's not one thing it's another!!! I hope tomorrow will be a good day! We were suppose to go to Renfest on Sunday but this morning I was informed by Branden that he looked at his schedule wrong and so now we won't be going like planned! On a brighter note tho my Mom and 3 youngest siblings are going tomorrow so I will be going with them! :D I am still going to be wearing my pirate costume as well! I just hope this weather warms up a tad bit!!! here's a picture of it so you know why!!! haha

 See what I mean!!! haha It is a little short in the back so I am in the process of trying to find something to go under it that matches and so that I'm comfortable!!! lol I can't wait to wear it!!! I'll post a pic on the next blog with the whole thing together along with pics from Renfest!!! :D Lunch time is here so I have to get going!!! I will not wait as long to update this next time!!! haha Bye guys :D

Forever 21 Grand Re-Opening!!!

August 7, 2010 was the Grand Re-Opening for the Forever 21 in the Woodlands Mall!!! The first 400 customers get a randomly selected gift card ranging from $10, $20, $50, $100, $210!!! I went with my Mom, sister and 2 brothers. We all got a $10 except my Mom who got a $20!!! It was a blast! Here's me and my sister and brother waiting in line haha you can tell how excited they were about posing for a picture!!! hahaha

Me and Zoe were soo excited! The Line finally stared moving!!! ahhhh! (Omg my chest is red because of me pressing on it constantly cause it kept hurting! I kept complaining of a heart attack, it was seriously hurting! I think it was all the excitment! haha)

 Here's a picture of the store! It's two freakin stories!!! :D

   Sooo freakin cool right?! I can't wait to go shopping in there again! I was crazy! The employees were all standing on the inside entrance in two lines and as you walk in they started cheering and clapping!!! It was really cool! Here's are a couple outfits I got while I was there! :D

I absolutely LOVE this shirt!!! I don't usually buy tube tops like EVER but I loved the colors on this one it was just soo pretty! This one was actually a medium and I ended up getting a large because it was more flowy! haha it's $17 I think I forgot..could of been $14 but I'm pretty sure it was $17 lol

I LOVE this dress! It was $22! it is sooo comfy! So comfy I didn't realize I had it on backwards when we went tot he movies yesterday! haha I noticedd once we sat down and I felt the tag haha I ran to the bathroom and fixed it right away! Anyway Another shirt I got was at wetseal! I LOVE it and am actually wearing it right now! here's a pic of it!

It's a pinkish purpleish lace cami under a black lace t-shirt! So cute! The Cami was on sale for $5 and the top was $10! I wore this to a UFC party that night!

Oh I got some really pretty Jewerly too! Forever 21 has some cheap and orignal stuff! I got this really pretty Owl Necklace and some gorgeous tear drop shaped earrings with butterflies on them! I don't have pictures of them right now but I will post them on my next blog!

Hope everyone has a great day!

p.s. Happy Shopping :)

My Blonde Adventure!!!

I recently went BLONDE! THe Journey to get there was not the funnest trip I had ever been on either but was it worth it?! YES!!! I'm going to tell you just how I got there and show you my steps along the way...WARNING: It is not pretty!!!! First off I was a very highlighted brunette when I started

So I wasn't just going from Dark Brunette to BLONDE! lol It still wasn't an easy process tho! This picture is about maybe less than a week after I got my hair last highlighted! a week or so after that is when I decided to go BLONDE! I do my research and go and buy my materials I am going to need! I went to Sally's for all my supplies. The first things I bought were: 

Quick Blue by Loreal

The next thing I bought was Salon Care 30 volume creme developer

The next the I bought was Clairol Professional Creme Toner in I think Champagne Beige 

The tools I used were Bleach bowl, a tint brush and black latex gloves

 

Here is the process step after step

First This is me with the bleach in my hair

 

Next is the result after...

 

I wasn't too thrilled with how it turned out obviously...hahaha

After I toned it and blow dried it this is what it looked like

 

This is me trying to make the best of the situation hahaha

 

being in denial about the orangness hahaha After that I had it toned again and slept in SHimmer Lights Purple Shampoo which looks like this

 

Sleeping in this probably wasn't the best idea ever (it left a purple stain on my head for a little bit until I went to the salon and they were able to get it out! *phew* haha) but it did take 80% of the Brassiness out and orange out!!!

After that I had an appointment at On Stage where they did an amazing job at fixing all the left over brassiness and making it look great!!! Here's a picture of me getting it done and a close up on the color after it was done... 

 

You can still see my hair that was not in the foil and how much lighter and non-brassy it was after I slept in the purple shampoo!

 

sooooo much better!!! It is a still a tad brassy but nothing a little purple shampoo won't fix :D After a couple more washes or maybe just one I can't remember this is my hair after that

 

TADA!!! It was a long road to get it this way but worth the hassel!!! (Ha you can see the dent on my left eyelid) Thank you to my friends Kirsten and Afton for helping me with the dying process!!! haha and Thanks to My Meme and Mom for helping me get an appointment so fast and helping out with the expenses of getting done at the salon! haha :D All in all The hair products I bought at Sally's were about $40 I think maybe a little more and the salon was $120 (yes I needed help with that part!) haha 

So if your planning on doing this yourself my advice is make sure your off work for the next couple days just in case and don't give your hopes up on it turning out exactly how you want the first time and if it is messed up call first thing in the morning to find a salon you want to go to! I wouldn't pay anything over what I paid for a stylist! That was actaully a pretty good deal for what she did! She re-bleached the orange strands and toned it down with a beige blonde toner. Other advice is it's easier if you  have somone help you so you don't miss any spots while dying your hair. Also important: Make sure and keep babies and animals away from the area where your dying/bleaching your hair the fumes are not good for them! We had to keep our chihuahua and pug out while doing mine! haha Goodluck to anyone deciding to do this!!! :D It can always be fixed! Even if that means going back dark! lol Also I have very thick hair too so if you have thin hair I would be careful and maybe ask a stylist or a professional on their opinion about bleaching your hair due to possible hair loss. Again Goodluck Guys! :D

 

Be safe and Have fun!!! :D
