The McNasty

8:39 PM Posted by JULIE


So on a whim today I purchased...clip on hair extensions!!!! They look surprising better that I expected. Back in college I found a black friend, she was tall and pretty, almost Beyonce-like. She came in every other week to Project Mgmt 420 with different hair that was extremely nice. So I said to her, "I wish I could change my hair every week, it's so boring having one hair style every 6-12 months". Beyonce told me, "Girl, just get a weave!". So I said to her, "That would be cool, but how would I do that?". Beyonce said, "Girl, my room mate can braid your hair. Just buy some hair she can braid in" I said, "Really? I'll pick some up and give you a call." So I got braided up and my hair was down to my boobies. I have to say it was one of the most uncomfortable things I've experienced. I only lasted 3 days with the braids. I had to keep patting my head to control the itch and then one night I had to have Charlie help me undo the crazy braids. Anywho, I'm happy with the clip in's but I think I have to buy another pack because my hair is so thin, I'll for sure pick up another pack before Kim's wedding. My recommendation....clip on hair extensions > weave. If you can stand the pain and forgo showering for over 24 hrs then get the weave.


Oh, another highlight of my day is that I convinced the worker at Sally's that I am a licenseDbeautician and I forgot my Sally Beautician Card at home, I saved $20 bucks! I also picked up some nail polish and some cheap mascara's at Walgreens (Wag as Kim and David would call it). Im uber excited to see what the rave about Mabelline Lash Stiletto and Lash Full and Soft is all about...I shall up date with a review later.

Ending my night is the halfpipe! Shaun White. The McNasty. He's god of the mountains. Truly changing the face of snowboarding. One day I'm going to buy a ticket to the Olympics. Until then I'll remained glued to the TV.

15 Shots

8:37 PM Posted by JULIE



Today James fuuuuuuugged me up. This was my first dentist visit since 2007. I got a deep tissue cleaning, 2 cavities filled, and custom fitted for a night guard. Those 15 shots to the gums numbed me up for 6 hours and I felt like I had the lips of the Joker. Even my nose was numb, I absolutely hated the feeling.

I found something out about myself that I had no idea about. Apparently, me getting a night guard has resulted from me incessantly grinding my teeth at night. The doc says its mostly caused by stress. I try not to stress myself out a lot, but I guess deep down inside I still am? Work, relationships, the future in general possibly. Well I hope this night guard thing will stop that and keep my jaw from popping all the time, it's become quite annoying.

I've been watching a lot of the 2010 olympics. I love it! Today I watched curling, men's biathlon, and men's figure skating. That curling makes me want to play some shuffleboard! It's so inspiring to watch, each person has so much heart. Tears of joy to tears of failure. In any case, I wonder how it feels to even be considered an olympian? Must be nice...


Goodnite and everyone watch the olympics!!!

Nervous. This is my First Time.

8:55 PM Posted by JULIE

My first real blog since....xanga days. I used to be so emo back then, if i could, I would go back in time and slap myself. I promise this blog will be different. So this should be at least a weekly thing, just to say how life is...


Work:
Today was the launch of Farmers new FA2 and Next Generation Home product. I was determined to hit 50 quotes but with so much to learn and so many other things to take care of during 8 hrs we only hit 25. I guess it evens out, Charlie and I each locked in 2 new homes. It's only been a day but my first impressions are good - much better price point and user friendly navigation. Hope from the shambles Farmers Texas County Mutual and Texas Family Home Policy left us in....2 years and 200 lost clients. No complaints though, just rolling with the punches. We are still so blessed to be able to still live comfortably despite the 2 yr downturn. We'll work hard no matter what. Treat others how we would want to be treated and God willing, He'll take care of us. Sounds religious huh? I am not the best Catholic, but I strongly believe in good deeds. Work Work Work. I'm devastated when clients leave me but like jayz says....on to the next one....anyone need an insurance quote?

New Year's Outlook:
"Year of the Tiger": I am supposed to have "bad luck" this year, hell I always thought I had bad luck most of my life. I think I always felt like everything I have I had to work so hard for, whether physically or emotionally. Nothing is free. Maybe that's why I am so possessive and materialistic. No, that IS why I am possessive and materialistic.

Shopping and Beauty Talk (contributing to my materialism):
I am an avid online shopper and youtube makeup and beauty tip watcher.

Louis Vuitton:
I only own one Louis Vuitton bag (Louis Vuitton Speedy in Demin), but I always watch to see what new products are out, I think ever since Marc Jacobs started to design for them I started to latch on. I love Louis Vuitton, but the fact that everyone and their mom has one make me puke. So I still stalk Louis Vuitton to one day find the bag I fall in love with with no qualms of what others my have, think or say about it. I love my denim speedy. These last two new pieces caught my eye.
1. Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Zippy in Vert Impression (looks like the color of puke online but, gorgeous in person, i fell in love): I love it bc of it doubles as a clutch and the pop of mute yellow just boosts me in to Spring. Since I just got my Chanel I cannot afford another pricey item. Maybe one day i'll find you on ebay.

2. Monogram Artsy GM: cute handle on the bag, but a rip off of the Gucci Horsebit Hobo. I used to love the Hosebit Hobo's but I realized it was never for me bc the bag just swallows me up. If you are tall this bag will work for you.

MAC:
1. Paint Pot in Quite Natural: great for filling in eye brows, I know for us asian ladies most of our brows are black right? Well Ive been using Clinique Brow Shaper in Charcoal for as long as i've been wearing makeup and I am realizing that its my brow looks too defined. For a soft shape I love this paint pot color, good for summer. Highly recommend since it can double as an eye shadow was well.

2. Viva La Glam Lipstick in GaGa: heard lots of online buzz about how every girl should have this in her train case. Meh not for me, its basically a barbie pink color. You could find this barbie pink color anywhere else in my opinion, but for a good cause with 100% of proceeds benebiting aids awareness.

Hm I've talked a lot.
