Now how many people do you know that would drive two hours just to get a good haircut? Well now you can say that you know one of those crazy people. Last week, I took the trek two hours away just to get my hair done because in approximately 8 days I will be attending a HUGE event (to which is still nameless to you) that I absolutely had to look glamorous for.
Paula, my hairstylist, is amazing and can work her magic on just about anyones hair. I’m sure many of you remember the first time I went to see her to get my ubber cool, punk rock haircut. Well this time I walked in there without a picture and she was able to shorten it up, since it had been 2 months since I last got it cut, exactly how I had it cut originally. I was very impressed. She is such a fun lady and super easy to talk to. I was telling her about the “HUGE event” coming up in a couple of weeks, and she acted really excited for me. I told her that when not if I become famous that she can be my traveling hairstylist.
Paula you rock my socks, and I am more than happy to drive 2 hours just to have you snip my ends!!! 
Do you have a loyal hairstylist that you just have to see? Do you refuse to go see anyone else?
I am a huge beauty junky and any new products that I get to try involving Beauty gets me excited. I am so glad I found this Clean & Clear Soft In Shower Facial. Its like a mini facial in a bottle.
In your shower, you apply the cream on your face and leave on for a minimum of one minute. I typically put the stuff on my face then wash my body before I rinse it off allowing the steam of the shower to activate the product and deep clean my pores.
Honestly when I first tried this product I was skeptical that it would work, but after the first try you will see that this is not your ordinary in shower facial. This stuff works! It deep cleaned my pores and actually moisturized my skin. It was great!
I love this stuff and will probably add it to my daily skin regimen.
Who is that punk rock chick? Oh wait that is me! I don’t know what possessed me to get such a sassy, punky haircut but I wanted a change…big surprise I know. I actually love my haircut though. My hairstylist did such a good job! This is perhaps the best haircut I’ve had my whole entire life.
Each time I walk by mirrors I give myself double takes. I can’t believe I’m rockin’ such an awesome ‘do. Oh and believe me people are noticing this swank hairstyle. I have had complete strangers stop me and compliment on how much they love my hair. When I went for a quick grocery run the other night, I was blown away at how people reacted to my hair. People would do double takes, completely turn around in their places, and just down right stare at me. I was like jeez its just a haircut…ROFL. I suppose this small town isn’t used to people thinking outside of the normal box. I love to be different and if it gets this small town looking and gossiping then so be it. I’m already known as that weird girl that video tapes herself pumping gas. Why not be the girl that video tapes herself pumping gas with a totally awesome punk rock hairdo. I just wish hubs still had his mo-hawk. Then we would be a cute punk rock family…hee hee.
Here are few more photos [different views]…

Ferro Cosmetics is a great online makeup company that sells fabulous mineral makeup. I’ve talked a lot about how much I prefer mineral makeup over the traditional liquid in the past and yet here is another company that I have found to be completely in love with.
The mineral foundation is fabulous. It covers just enough and doesn’t leave you looking shiny at all. I hate that some mineral foundations have a sheen to them. This one doesn’t and makes your face look absolutely flawless. If you are looking for a healthy glow you can try out the radiance foundation. It offers a nice “glow” to the skin, think pregnancy glow without having to be pregnant. The crystal minerals veil is a great powder to set your mineral foundation. It tames oil so you won’t look shiny, it sort of gives you an airbrushed look that I love. Glows is Ferro’s bronzer of sorts. It is also a mineral product and gives you a nice warming of the skin without having to get burned by the sun. Blush x3 is the product that needs to be in every girls purse. This mineral blush not only works on cheeks but eyes and lips as well. Blush x3 unifies the face by offering the same color palette on your 3 most important features. The mineral eyeshadows called Eye Candy are absolutely amazing. I have never tried mineral eyeshadow before but now I am addicted. I am throwing out all of my pressed eyeshadows and going strictly mineral now. It offers so much more versatility as well as make it super easy to create whatever look you are trying to achieve.
The best thing about mineral makeup is that it last virtually forever because you only have to use just a little bit of it. Mineral makeup may be a lot more of an investment than picking up some drugstore makeup but really it is worth it in the long run because it lasts you so much longer.
Real beauty is on the inside. That is what we have all heard growing up but in today’s soceity a woman can’t help but seem insecure about herself with all of the images of “beauty” being shoved our way via magazines, television, and movies. Personally, I am sick of this stick thin, “fake” look that the media is trying to push woman into being. The unrealistic image they are portraying isn’t an image that just affect women but it affects men as well, although many of them won’t admit it.
Girls growing up in today’s soceity shouldn’t be subjected to this torture any longer. It is time for us as mothers to take a stand and remind our girls that this isn’t real beauty. The beauty portrayed on television is with hours of make up and hair, photoshop techniques, and unsafe plastic surgeries. Beauty is who you are naturally without all the bells and whistles.
You can take a stand against this unhealthy, unnaturally look of beauty by joining the Campaign for Real Beauty. You can also get involved by joining the Dove Self-Esteem Fund.
All Natural Shaving Oil - “Mighty 2-ouncer” really packs a punch in such a little bottle. You can get up to 100 shaves in a small half ounce bottle. This product is made for both men and women. Ladies, I can attest that this product does grave for shaving legs. Very good stuff! I can only imagine how great a man’s shave would be after using this shaving oil.
This Shaving Oil reduces nicks and razor burn with a calming moisturized layer. The results are amazing!!! The best part is that this product is 100% all natural. We love natural!
Great stocking stuffer for that hard to buy man in your life.

AquaTan is the best sunless tanner, in my opinion, on the market today. AquaTan is virtually effortless to apply and get results that you can actually see with no harsh orange tone.
Just like you would apply a lotion, spray your body with the Aquatan then rub in with your palm evenly all over your body. AquaTan works with you natural skin tone so you get results that look natural to you. Not artificial orange like the leading self tanners on the market today.
The Best part about Aquatan is that is has tons of antioxidants like green tea extract to help your skin look and feel its best which ultimately makes your tan look even better.
Everyone loves to have that back from the beach look all year round, now even when it is cold outside you can have that fabulous beach glow with one squirt of AquaTan.

So I decided to do a little change to my appearance. Hubby suggested that I go for red hair since I am so pale. The last time I colored my hair I did a brown with a hint of red and he said that it wasn’t red enough. So I decided to go all out. I mean it is just hair and you can always dye it back to the original color if you don’t like it. Anyway. I found the deepest red that I could possibly find at my local hole in the wall drugstore. The color I chose was LOreal Feria Shimmering Hair Color, in Cinnamon (Bright Auburn Brown)
I tried to take a photo in natural light since that is when it looks the most red. And yes, I know how pale I am please do not point that out to me.
