That was before, but this is after

Ugh, what a fun week!

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a good Sunday thus far. I've actually been up since 6am, and besides the fact that I left alllll my make-up at my parents house, and had to run to Target and buy e.l.f replacements (just mascara and blush all you really need), I'm doing great!! I wish I had had time to take out my camera while I was in San Francisco, but I was having so much fun!! Sorry everyone! I'm a terrible blogger!

Anyways, As I told you last week, I got a hair cut!! Finally. Did you know that it's been almost 2 years since I got a hair cut? If you're bored or interested enough, you can tell through this blog the chronicles of trying to grow out a really super short pixie cut. It was short, even for a pixie cut! This is the before  & after shot. I cut off about 3 inches, and added some thickness to my bangs.

I don't know if you remember or care but, I had those pictures of the 3 girls, and silly me, none of them really pleased me. The one I ended up showing Megan, My AWESOME stylist, was a picture of Alexa Chung. Lets be honest. We all secret wish we could be her identical twin. At least I do. But back to my awesome Stylist, her name is Megan, and she is at Valez in Lincoln Center in Stockton. I tried to find someone in Sacramento, but when you find someone you love and trust you gotta stick with em! It's only an hour drive, and it was worth it! IF you live in the Stockton area, and you need a cut or a color (remember my Blondest Blonde from my wedding pics? That's allll Megan!) She's your girl!

Well... thats about it for me today. Very brief today. I got lots of fun stuff in San Francisco, so there will be outfit posts soon!!

Ice Cream For Breakfast

Hello Everyone!! I hope you're having a great week thus far. It's been pretty uneventful for us thus far. To be honest, thats exactly how I like it. However, I did magage to create a to-do list for my senior recital, and it did kind of spark a mini anxiety explosion, there's so much to do! I Just resolved to worrying about it when the time actually comes. No use in excessive worry! Also, to comfort myself in these last few days of winter break I had a nice huge bowl of ice cream for breakfast. Don't judge! Have you ever had the chocolate fudge and peanut butter ice cream from Target? It tastes exactly like the kind from B&R, which is my very favorite kind! Trust me, in tough times, you would do the same! Wow. I'm hilarious.

Anyways! this is what I decided to wear today! This little dress was screaming my name in the dressing room while I was trying it on. It's so cute! It's actually a racer back tank style, which really makes it sweater friendly. I hate when the 3/4 length sleeves of my dresses get all mushed up in the sleeves of my sweater. Nothing to be concered about with this little beauty. The only thing I'm kicking myself over now is, I now have to find something else to wear for Valentine's day! Wow.... bad planning. Guess I'm just gonna have to find something else :)

 This outfit is a 90's extravaganza with this cardigan and dress combo. I don't mind! I happen to love 90's extravaganzas! Any excuse to use the word extravaganza is also not so bad!

 Ummmm how fun are these crazy little booties! I found these at Buffalo on Haight during my San Francisco trip! There's no way I could wear these bad boys to work today, so I actually do have to change my shoes later today. They also kind of make me feel like I have horse hooves (hoofs?) when I walk.

Okay, and before I go, I have to share these pictures of our dear friend's little girl, June.  Her dad is always telling me to feature her on this blog, and I honestly don't know why she hasn't shown up on here. I mean... she's a million times more cute than me. She was bringing the metal after youth group on Sunday night. Her dad is the guy with glasses...on the left. Jordan and the guy on the far right, Sean, are also in Kingdom.

 Okay. Seriously?! Nathan said he just picked up the book and she just sat right down on his foot! Have you ever seen anything more cute in your whole freaking life? I definitely haven't. This was a very heart-melting moment for me. June and Nathan are best friends. Look at her little hand! ugh! so cute!

Well now that your hearts are all in puddles on the floor, thats about it for me today. I really need to get working on those things on my to-do list. Keep your eyes on the store, there are things added all the time! I hope you all have a great rest of your day! I'll see you soon!

East is East, and West is San Francisco

Hi Everyone! I hope you’re having a great day! It’s been kind of a crazy weekend for me. Work and Church make for some real busyness between Nathan and I.  Also, probably the cause of all my stress is always school in someway. If it’s not classes themselves, it’s stuff that relates with school, and right now, that’s financial aid. Probably the most stressful thing about school. I was really worried that I would have to pay a ton of money because my medical insurance situation is changing quite abit, but it turns out... I dont owe much at all.  Why do I freak out so much? Silly me. I always have to remember this: the Lord always provides in someway, if that’s in the form of a job or a random check in the mail, or my financial aid covering more than I thought, God always makes a way.

Anyways, enough of stressful talk, let me tell you about my day on Friday! I went with some girlfriends from school to the beautiful city of San Francisco. It really could not have been a more glorious day. Ask the girls, I actually said “This day is literally glorious.” It was so beautiful. The Sun was shining, it wasn’t cold or windy at all. It was perfect.

If you eat at Wipeouts, they give you a coupon for the coffee shop across the way, and the coffee shop gives you this little cookie with your coffee! It was delicious.

Now… I realize that the pier is totally a touristy joint, but you know what, how can you tell me that this isn’t a beautiful place? They still had the Christmas tree up even! It was huge! Gosh. So fun. Oh San Francisco, why are there two toll bridges, so I could visit you more? I know there’s actually a reason, but it was rhetorical, so please don’t tell me. I wish there was a way for this picture to not be so fuzzy, otherwise you would be able to better see the beautious women I spent my day with. It was so fun.

How glorious is this candy shop? It was full of awesomely beautiful candy.

Here’s a shameless GPOY. What did I tell you about this sweater? Im obsessed with it! I try to wear it as often as I can, and I'm not ashamed to tell the world!

Oh, I just wanna go back so bad and walk all over that beautiful city! Well you wonderful people. There’s my weekend update for you. I hope your weekend was awesome! I’m thinking about getting my bangs trimmed this week. What are your thoughts about blunt bangs? I like them. Who knows. I’ll see you soon.
