BEDA 2013 #26: Lush-oholic!

Today I officially became a Lush-oholic!

I went in there and all of the employees were super awesome and friendly, and it was probably the best customer service I have ever had (Thank you Rebecca and Sammy)!  All of the things smelled so good, and felt great on my skin.  Rebecca gave me a hand massage and let me try a bunch of the body and hand lotions, and Sammy gave me a facial.  All of the things made my skin feel great.  I am the kind of person who will put on lotion every once in a while.  I will start seeing that my legs or arms are ashy, and then start to use lotion, but I quickly remember why I never get on a lotion routine.  The lotions I try all are either too heavy, or too oily, and after a couple of days I quickly just don't like using it because it feels like it just doesn't work.  There are also times where I feel like the smell is too much for my senses, and I start getting a headache.  The smells are also never what they claim to be either.  The lotions that Rebecca let me use made my skin feel so amazing!!!  They absorbed into my skin really quickly, they didn't leave an oily residue, and they left a pleasant scent, and it smelled like it was suppose to!!!  She put this strawberry massage lotion on my arm, and it smelled of strawberries, and it made me think of picking strawberries (Which I am excited for strawberry season!!!).  She also put this rose body conditioner (which I will have to come back and get sometime in the near future), and it smelled like a rose garden, and felt so good.  I tried a body salt scrub and it made my skin soft.

Sammy gave me a facial, and she used a face wash, a facial mask and some facial lotion, and my skin feels so amazing, and looked brighter and healthy!  I have never seen my face look that healthy in a long time.

I might be speaking too soon (But I have a feeling I am going to be right), but I might not go back to any other type of face wash.  I got myself a hunk of the face wash she used, and I am going to try it out.  I might make a video on the stuff I use in the future.  I know that it takes a while for stuff to take its course and actually work, but I feel like I have found my cosmetic best friend.  I do wish there were a closer Lush store though.  I might request one, and if we do get one, I will work for it!!!  I would love to work there.  I can see why my friend Lena loved working for them!  I spent almost two hours in there, and one hundred dollars in there.  I have never spent that much on any cosmetic product before, and I feel foolish for doing so, but I love the way this stuff feels on my skin.  It feels way better than anything I have ever used, so to be honest, I do not regret it one bit.

I feel really bad for being bitchy about having to take Eric to his Wing Chun seminar.  It was really worth it.  I smell nice, and my face and hands feel amazing!

Anyways.  I am sitting right now outside of the Starbucks because they had tables and wi-fi.  haha  I have a couple of more hours to kill, and then I need to start heading back to where Eric is.  They are going out to eat after the seminar.  I hope we go somewhere good.  I love going to a city that is nowhere near where I live and eating someplace that is unique to that area.  It is really cool.  It makes me feel like I am expanding my horizons!  :)

Well.  I am tired of sitting, and I still have a whole mall to explore.  I would love to go back to lush, but I would be really tempted to buy more stuff.  I just need to get away from the food court as well.  I might be tempted to eat something before dinner.

Today's song is one of the songs that were playing while I was getting my facial.  It is No Doubt's "Don't Speak"  I do really love this song.  It is a sad song, and I don't know if I have mentioned this before on my blog, but I hate sad and slow songs.  There are a few exceptions to that rule, and this song is one of them!  I love the music video!  The song and the video expressions the feelings that were going on in the band at that time in their career.  It was at that time that No Doubt was starting to get big, but instead of magazines and media wanting to showcase the band as a whole, they really only wanted to push Gwen out into the spotlight, and that almost caused the band to break up.  Thank goodness they didn't break up!  They are still one of my favorite bands, and I am glad they are still around!  I was super happy when they released their new album!  So here is the song, and I hope you all love like I do!

So I did get to post after all.  I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to!

Tomorrow, I am going to be participating (until I go to work) a 24 hour read-a-thon.  I just found out about it this morning, but it looks like fun, and I need to catch up on my reading anyway by a LOT!  Here is the link to that!  http://24hourreadathon.com/

Alright Love you all, and until tomorrow!

BEDA 2013 #25: All Is Well.

I needed to rant yesterday because right after I posted my blog yesterday, I felt twenty times better.  I felt like a weight was lifted, and Patrick was able to cheer me up to my normal happy self.  I have figured out a couple of things to do in the four hours I will be alone, so everything is perfectly fine.  The good thing about posting blogs is that it is kind of therapeutic.  It allows you to get negative feelings and thought out of you, and you can heal from there.  It might not be great to read, but you can also tell who is real with their writing.  I really do put my heart out there for the world to see, and sometimes it is pretty and sometimes it isn't.  That's just one of the things about being a human, you go through rough patches, but it is how you go through it and how you turn out in the end that really matter.  You will either come out of it not learning a thing and falling back into that kind of situation, or you come out a better person learning from your mistakes, and avoid those triggers.  I like to think I am the latter, but I know I sometimes don't learn everything that needs to be learned.

Onto what I will be up to while I am in the Atlanta area.  It is kind of boring, but I am taking the opportunity to do these.  I am going to two different malls (I looked it up, and apparently the area is chalk full of malls.  It is rather weird how many there are in just one small area.), and I will be going to both of the sephora's (Hopefully I will find what I need in the first one) to look for a Soap and Glory face wash that I recently have fallen in love with, and one of the malls I am going to has a lush store, so I am definitely going there!  I have always wanted to go to a lush store especially since I found out about them when I went to infinitus and they had a booth set up.  I wish I could have gotten something when I was there, but I was flat broke, and only could afford the bare essentials.  Luckily I get paid tomorrow, so I will be able to buy a couple of things.  I won't be able to go crazy because I still have Misti-Con coming up in two weeks (God time has gone by too quickly), and I still have my insurance on my car to pay for next month and I have to pay my taxes on the car as well.  It sucks how quickly money can deplete.  It's insane!

Anyways.  I probably need to get some rest so I am not tired when I am driving tomorrow.

Today's song is a good one.  It is Cherri Bomb's cover of "Pretender" by the Foo Fighter's.  It is really great cover, and it just shows that women can rock just as hard as men.  Another great thing about Cherri Bomb is that they are all under seventeen!  They kick so much ass, and sound way better than a good number of bands that have been out on the music scene for years and decades even!  It just shows that you can do anything if you put you mind to it, and that age is but just a number, and should not keep you from doing what you really want to do in life!  I know that Julia is no longer in the band, and that they had creative differences, but things happen, and they are still growing up, so they still have a lot to learn about the music industry.  All of the members will be great musicians, and regardless of if Nia, Miranda, and Rena  are still Cherri Bomb in the next couple of years, I have a feeling they will all go really far, and be magnificent.  I wish them all the best, and at least I got to see them at Warped Tour.  They were by far my favorite band of the day.

 

I hope you all have a great night, and I love you all!  I am not sure if I will have a blog tomorrow due to being in atlanta a good majority of the day.  If I can find a place that has wi-fi, I will definitely post something.  We will see what happens as it happens.

Good night, and until next time

BEDA 2013 #24?: Bi-Polar blog is Bi-Polar!

These first two paragraphs are rather depressing, so if you want to skip them, go ahead.  I would not blame you at all.  I just need to vent about how I feel today, and how I will be feeling about tomorrow.

You ever have those days where you just want to be void of all human contact.  Except for two people, those being my mom and Patrick, if I didn't talk to anybody else, I would be perfectly fine.

I have always been one of those people who could be a real people person, and love to make friends, then have my days where I am introverted like crazy, and not want any human interaction at all and be fine with it.  It really is a toss up when I am like that.  One thing that always causes my introversion was when certain people make me frustrated, push my buttons, or just use me basically.  I felt like yesterday, and it was not fun at all.  Yesterday was my day off too, so it just made it even more frustrating.  The next day off I have coming up (Which is Friday) is going to be filled with me taking my brother to Atlanta, and I am basically going to be driving for 2 or more hours, sitting in my car for the four hours he is going to be doing his Wing Chun stuff (Probably bored out of my mind, and with no internet.  I just have a feeling), and then driving home for another 2 or more hours.  That's a fantastic way to spend your day off isn't it?  Could you feel the sarcasm seeping from that sentence?  I hope so.  It would be fine if I had somebody with me that could drive as well, and if needed take over driving if I got too sleepy, or just to keep me company while Eric is doing Wing Chun.  I am hoping to find something to do for the time he is going to be doing his Lessons with a grand master, but I have little hope that I will find something that will catch my interest for four hours.  If any of you who live in the Atlanta area know of something that is free to do and can entertain for hours, please let me know.  I am very desperate to not be bored.

Yeah.  This is a pretty depressing blog so far.  I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't make it this far in my blog.  I will hope to be happier in the rest of this blog.

I finally found myself a dress to wear at the masquerade ball at Misti-Con, and I am super excited!  I feel so incredibly happy when I am at Potter cons.  I just ooze with joy, and it is the one environment where I want to be around people all the time.  My mom and I are going, and we are super excited, but I feel like the time for us to go has just crept up on us.  It just felt like yesterday that we had a couple of months to prepare.  Now we have a little over two weeks.  I still have a couple of things I want to do cleaning wise around the house and in my car, and I still have a few make-up and costume things I need to figure out for my cosplay.  I also have to create a to-pack list, and I feel like I am not prepared at all.  It is coming too quickly, and I am excited, but it could slow down a little bit.  Well at least until I have everything I need at least it can slow down, but after come as quickly as possible!

I want to play a happy song today for you all, so I am going to go back to the early 90's for R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People".  Even though this song is meant to be ironic, and was kind of rebelling against the poppy music that was coming out at that time, but I can't help but smile and be happy every time I hear it.  I just want to dance and sing along every time it comes on.  Here it is.  I hope you all enjoy it, and that it makes you smile as it makes me smile when I need it most!

This was a rather long, and almost bi-polar post.  Happy here, and depression there.  Here is to hoping tomorrow is a happier post, and until Tomorrow.

I have been bad these past two days when it came to blogging.  Sunday, I only wrote a couple of sentences, and yesterday I didn't even write a blog.  Every time I have done Blog Every day in April or August or National Novel Writing Month (Or NaNoWriMo), I always find out exactly where my creative limits are.  It is always either the second to last week or the last week that I get extremely burnt out on writing.  Whether I want to or not though I always try and finish no matter what.  I like to write, and doing these month long writing sprees, it helps my writing more and more.  I love doing them, and even though I always get a little tired of writing, it makes me better.

Today I am hanging out with my friend who is leaving us on Thursday to move to Florida.  I am very sad about it, but I know that it is the best thing for her, and her future.  She is excited that she will get to go to school while she is there, and pursue the career that she has told me she has been wanting to do for a long time.  I am very proud of her for taking this leap because it is hard to leave a place you have gotten comfortable with for years, but I think she will do great things.  She won't be alone down there.  She has family to stay with, and if I get the chance, I will be visiting her as much as I possibly can.

I am going to end this blog now because I want to post how I am frustrated at my brother for this week in general, and how one of Patrick's friends just keep using him yet he continues to give them money, but I would probably get even more pissed off.

On that note, I am going to go.

Today's music video is "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit.  I am in one of those moods where I want to break everything, and not feel bad about it.  I think this song conveys my frustrations right now.

Until Tomorrow

Today's blog...

...has been cancelled.  my head is hurting way to much for me to even think straight.  Good night everyone.
