...ramblings...

I know most of time ppl never read the really mushy stuff about ppl's feeling and what have you... But I need an outlet... I just feel myself feeling less like myself.. I'm slipping away... This is not way I planned life to be like... This is not what I wanted... It just sucks... And the more it sucks the more unmotivated and sad I become... I really need to work on this... Nothing seems to be working tho... :(

I decided to actually take my life into my hands and make some necessary changes... the first change being weight loss... I realize it is something I actually have to work at... SO I joined LiveStrong.com to help me with that...  track my food and help me actually see what I'm eating... Therefore helping me keep a handle on me... How are you guys?

So summer is coming... which makes  me think of the beach and cool things, awesome clothes and shoes, and wonderful bright, crazy jewelry... So over the last couple of day I've been making bangle out of "gimp" or Plastic Lace... I've even revamped old bangles that I didn't wear anymore into fresh new bangles for the summer... here are pics... bangles before... just plain plastic bangles... I also made a simple circle knot bracelet.... to show texture and detail... all the bangle I made.... Square Knot Bracelet, Cobra Knot Bracelet, Cobra Knot Bangle, Chinese Stairwell Bangle, & Circle Knot Bracelet... add a cute clasp....

I've been doing a couple of DIY projects like making bracelets out of Plastic Lace or "gimp" as I know it... And I'm going to make a conscious effort to do more looks, hauls and tuts... Also I'm coming up on 400 subbies on YT and nearly 200 on here... so I may be having a giveaway soon... just got to find some things to give away...

So, twitter is funny.... cause in a way i makes you like people you've never meant cause they're funny and intellectual.... But it also makes you have ppl, you already know... cause you start to really see people for who/what they are... Hmmph...

So... whilst browsing my blogs I saw that Sugar Rock Cat Walk made and awesome bracelet out of rope and Hex Nuts.... The original (pictured above) is by Giles & Brother ... they have awesome jewelry btw... She got the idea from Honestly...WTF , an awesome blog for Fashion Frills and D.I.Y's.... So I went over to wal-mart, grabbed some micro suede cord, and some hex nuts and tried my hand... It is easy to do... even tho it is a little hard to get the full idea of it... at first ... For full instructions----->  Honestly...WTF ... Here's mine... I added a little circle clasp at the end... I'm still deciding if I like it... and some feather charms for a little flair... for detail I hope you guys try this DIY... I love it...

So, It's official... I have enough lashes to last me forever.... So my Madame Madeline package arrived today... And my all my lashes are here... YAY!  I got Red Cherry Lashes from Madame Madeline... I got... all in black... #107 , #213, #412, #113, #110, #523 As you know I my package from Elegant Eyelash on Wednesday... So here is the complete haul in picture form... from Elegant eyelash and Madame Madeline... That's a lot of lashes....

Thinking about trying again... Yep...  Probably will...

So...  I ordered quite a few pairs of eyelashes from EEyelash and Madame Madeline on Monday morning... and I got the first set of lashes from EEyelash today... I bought 4 sets of lashes..which is 12 pairs... and some dark duo glue (since I'd been meaning to try that...) For the shipping and handling all together I spent 37 dollars... which I think is good considering the Ardell & Andrea brand in Wal-Mart are something like 4 dollars a pair.... So far after looking at the lashes they look really good... The hairs are a little thin compared to brands like Ardell, but for the price 3p @5.95... I really can't complain... They also have a thinner band on the lash which may or may not be a good thing for me... We'll see... Oh and they run long, the "short" lashes are the same length or longer then my dramatic lashes from Ardell... The medium are gorgeous and just extra... LOVE! So, extra short is normal. short are semi-long, medium are long, and long are re...

Eyelashes... I threw out all of my old worn eyelashes... And know I only have two pair... And for some reason I'm too cheap to buy more.... I know I'm probably being some kind of way- cheap ... But I don't remember them being 4 dollars a pair... GRRR!!!! Accepting Eyelash Donations!

Revamped the blog a little... What do you think?

I'll be doing a haul post soon.... cause I've acquired quite a bit of stuff since Christmas... actually before... So yeah...  Mostly I'm going to talk about my Coastal Scents things, my new brushes, facial stuff that I love but can't afford, and my NYX eyeshadow base...

So... I joined twitter... I said I wouldn't... And I don't know how to feel about it... Yet... Anywho... @VivaLaLuminary

I got a few things from Coastal Scents and Jesse's Girl... I must say I love, Love, LOVE... everything I got... Like LOVE! Here are a couple pics... I'll definitely be working these into my tuts... This is swatches from the Creative Me #1 palette... LOVE! What I got: Creative Me Palette #1 & #2 Jesse's Girl Eye Lites in Lavender, Sea Green, Salmon Pink, Glitzy and Starburst Coastal Scents 36 Smokey Palette Jesse's Girl Mini Cream Shadow Palettes 1 & 2 Jesse's Girl Cream Shadow in After Midnight Jesse's Girl Eye Dust in Rouge Flambe and Jesse's Girl sent me a butt load of samples... as they tend to do... as well as a free tube of shadow primer... well I guess it was free...

I know... I suck... I have done nothing with my life but work... Ugh... the life I live...

Been a long time... I haven't blogged in over a month... Shame on me... Anyways... Just stopping by to let y'all know I is still living...

I'm sure you already could tell... But yeah... I'm making it even more known... SO......here are my stats... I am 24... I am 5ft 2ins tall...and I weigh (give or take) 255lbs... Yes... I know that's huge... Here is why I eat... I'm stressed... I'm depressed... I'm bored... Occasionally I'm actually hungry... I'm Unhappy... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been recently thinking a lot about my weight, and what challenges it may put on my life, health, and overall well-being... Now I'm not going to sit here and say I hate being fat, because honestly that's just not the case for me...I mean I guess it should if I use others as a guideline of what I should and shouldn't look like... I've just come to the realization that I should lose some of this... I mean as far a doctor sees it... I am morbidly..... morbidly obese... I am 100+lbs over what they think I should be... And I g...

Just an update.... I relaxed my hair on Sept. 11 2010.. Here are some pics... I am APL....  Hopefully my sides will catch up and I'll be able to claim full APL in 2011... The back mostly like will be in the BSL area by then.... My next relax is set for January/ February... Happy Growing!

Generally, I like to stay out of the huge issues... My opinions are my own... and I like that... I tend not argue ppl down... trying to get them to agree with me because we as human beings are all entitled to think they way we want... So today I stumbled across this video...   A Warning To White Women And basically she is "warning" white women against the dangers of a certain group of black men to which she has named the "BBD Crew" which stands for Broke Busted and Disgusted... No while watching this video I couldn't help but find some of her points interesting....and dare I say valid... But I wouldn't dareas to go as far as to limit this "BBD Crew" to the black race... I KNOW there are plenty of men who just are no good... Now let's pretend like lots of men read my blog for a minute... I know that the "BBD Crew" can and does refer to women as well... of all races.... So after watching that video... I was led to other video disc...

Remeber I said I was going to be stretching my relaxers to 6 months... Well...yeah... that's not going to happen... Maybe thats a venture for the winter months when my hair isn't growing like crazy... So yeah...I'm not even going to wait the three weeks I had planned... My hair probably will be relaxed in the next two weeks at 15/16 weeks post... I was supposed to wait until October 1st... but it looks highly unlikely...seeing as I can't comb my hair... So yeah... My last relax was May 31st... and it's been 3.5 months... And my naps/kinks/coils...are out of control... I'll try my extended stretch in the fall... maybe that'll work... Progress pics...or the lack there off... Will be up soon... Watch Me Grow!
