OH!

One other quick little tidbit.

I SAW TRON LAST NIGHT :D
I thought it was really quite good! Especially in 3D...and IMAX. Kay it was awesome :3
And if you're a nerd like the guy I was with (snuggle buddy) you'll love it!

THE END

2 day meltdown

2 days until Christmas~! Craziness? Well I think so anyways.
I feel almost like a child. It's not as though I'm losing sleep or anything but... well, I am excited for Christmas. However, a big part of that may have something with my not being home for awhile and it'll be nice to just have a few days to relax and eat terribly (and in excessive amounts) :)

So I leave today after work...not that I'm at work now...ya (>.<)
ANYWAYS -- I'm definitely looking forward to it all (:

I was meaning to get on here before now but I've been a busy little bird! First off, I've been going on dates! Haha. You're probably thinking what the heck...you? Because well I don't think I ever really talk about dudes because I never go on dates! I talk to guys quite a bit, but ya...don't date really. I don't know what it is as of lately but *shrugs* I'll run with it for now ;P Anyways...one consisted of watching Emporer's New Groove - 'Nuff said...awesome. Another guy we went out for hot beverages (he had tea, I had hot chocolate [duh]) then we went and made some granola bars at his house. And they're so good! Seriously haha. If you're interested in making some - ask me for the recipe! Then another guy I've just been hanging out with the most - we've done a few random things, and overall he's my snuggle buddy (it just happened, ok?). But that's all the details you're getting from me - for now at least.
Another thing I've been busy with... trying to find a place to live! My sister is coming back soon (December 29th?) and I think they were wanting me out by then. But I haven't found a place yet :( WHAT TO DO?!? *sigh* I guess I'll figure it out and cross that bridge when it's completely necessary. So Along with my sister coming back I've been organizing the place more and cleaning and such.
So between work, the gym, boys, and looking for a place. I have been busy.

I was going to do round 2 of the yogurt masks this week... but ALAS I didn't find the time. So I'll do it sometime next week probably. Really though, you should try it! Does this ----->
look like the face of someone who would lie to you? YES! And I'm not making that face - so really...try it.

OH! One thing I really dislike about Christmas... malls. Seriously, I think they're annoying on a regular day with all the people...But around Christmas - INSANITY!

I'm going to throw another couple of Christmas songs in here for ya. The first is a classic song but a different kind of cool version - All I Want For Christmas Is You ^.^
And the second, is one of my favorites... Merry Christmas Baby :3 (suffer through the first 30 or so seconds... GIVE IT A CHANCE [though you probably don't want to listen to the whole thing, it starts weird and ends weird and just...ya])

And I'll end here, because I actually don't have anything very useful to say haha.

Toodles for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I don't wake up easily. I sometimes listen to the alarm go off for an hour before I get up. Many times I have hit it so long that it just shuts off OR sometimes I accidentally dismiss the alarm instead of pressing snooze (crap).

I TRIED IT!

OK, so first off...this is obscene how many bloggies I've got up for December already. It's more than I've got up in pretty much the last...3 months combined. Wow.

ANYWAYS -- I TRIED THE YOGURT LAST NIGHT! (If you don't know what I'm talking about... look at my last blog)

I went to the gym (which was fun if you're wondering haha), and then afterwards I went to the grocery store and thought to myself..."Hey, I'm gonna look for some yogurt!" And it was quite easy to find really haha. There was a few options - but the one I ended up choosing was Olympic brand, no fat (0%), Organic, Natural, Probiotic (plain obviously) haha.
So what I did was I showered first and washed my face and shampoo'd my hair quick. Then I got out and turned off the fan (to keep the steam in there) and put the mixture of olive oil and yogurt on my hair. One suggestion is to towel off your hair decently well so it isn't dripping - I did it alright, but it did end up dripping a bit (in the back). So I'm not sure if you want to do this yourselves or if you have someone that can help you it might be easier. So I started in my roots and put it all over my scalp and then started running it through the ends.
*TIP* Don't put so much that it drips - just enough to coat your hair.
I then put it up in a bun to keep it back and to keep it from dripping as much.
THEN... it was face time
*TIP* Don't use the leftover from the hair mixture - I don't imagine Olive oil being the best for your face?
So I started with one layer and gradually built it up to basically as thick as I could get it. (You'll realize when you try it...if you try it).
Then I put a robe on and just meandered about for half an hour or so. The yogurt on your face does dry after a bit, thus making your face feel kind of tight and constricted from emotion showing. But it's bearable.
The nice thing about doing them both at the same time was...when you do the face mask, you don't have to worry about getting the yogurt in the hair.
The bad thing about all of this - it's kind of a pain putting it in your hair...because you're trying not to get yogurt everywhere and also trying to move your hair around to coat the scalp completely. (and also I think plain yogurt just smells plain awful :P)
SO after half an hour, I just got back in the shower....rinsed it all off. I didn't wash my face again, but I did shampoo and condition my hair after.
I then moisturized my face as usual. My pores felt so clean and refreshed. Seriously. Haha. And I felt like my face was glowing and looked so squeaky clean. And my skin felt - plump? So to speak. haha. Sounds weird - but I liked it! If you don't want to try the hair mask - I would at least recommend it for the face.
When I was shampooing and conditioning my hair - the pores on my scalp also felt very refreshed and open. Really - it felt so nice.
I'm sure results vary from person to person and also depending on which yogurt you use. But I have tried it and I found that my hair is so smooth and even very shiny today. I would definitely recommend that you try it (if you're willing)! So try it! And let me know what you think!

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- The only yogurt I really eat is Strawberry. Raspberry is alright...Peach - maybe. All the others don't appeal to me. I used to put plain yogurt in smoothies until I licked the spoon after once. I started gagging - it was awful. The end.

Last Christmas

Well I'm just kind of reminiscing on my last Christmas. (And I know... I'm proud of myself for getting another blog up this quick as well :P)
Last year at this time I wasn't even a blogger yet :o But I was going to school in Edmonton (at the U of A - didn't last very long apparently). I was in nutrition, but more accurately I was in general studies working towards getting in nutrition. Long story short (well not that long) - I liked the nutrition aspect of it all, but the chemistry was VERY HARD! Or maybe I didn't study enough...or at all. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't be talking about this.
So at this time last year I was also pretty sure that I'd be going home right after. And I was very much looking forward to that because I missed all my family and friends. The thing about being in Edmonton was I didn't really get to visit much because it was too far. And so now here I am - no further it knowing what I want to do with my life. And I know you're all probably tired of hearing me talk about it - but I'm hoping talking about it and thinking about it will get me further along. Then again...it hasn't really worked so far *sigh*. I'll keep trying!
So I don't remember everything about last Christmas (Christmas Eve rather)...but I'll tell you what I do remember. We didn't have a very big family gathering because lots of the sub family units were either doing their own thing or were taking a turn on the other side of the family. But it was still a nice gathering...we ate plenty, spent a nice relaxing evening chatting, we always seem to share musical talents on Christmas. So we sang a bit and read the Christmas story from the Bible, exchanged our little gifts and all went our separate ways. Christmas morning, my parents and I did our little gift opening and then went to visit some more family and I'm sure had a nice feasty feast.
Nothing too exciting - but I've been listening to Last Christmas the whole time I was writing this blog...so really this was bound to happen. Last Christmas is one of my favorite songs and the version by Wham is one of the classics...so to listen to it click :) (do not judge it by the music video - yes it's cheesy, deal with it) OR if you watch glee and want to hear that version (I think it's good!) click :D. Or I guess if you don't want to listen to it...suit yourself (fun sponge).

Quick Health and Beauty Section
-As the weather is reasonably cold and dry, make sure you moisturize not only your body but also your face! It's very important - too oily of skin causes breakouts but too dry of skin will do the same thing. (Drink water too - even though it's not hot, even if you're not thirsty... stay balanced). Another good thing is to keep your hair moisturized. Maybe you need to condition your hair more than wash it (varies from person to person). Also...I've heard of a do-it-yourself mask for both the face and hair - I haven't done this yet but I will and then I'll let you know (if I find the product). So this product is... yogurt! (Plain, natural yogurt). Start with a cleansed face and put the yogurt on. Start with a thin layer and build it up - this can either be done with a foundation brush or your fingers or whatever you want really. Leave it on for about 20/25 minutes and apparently it helps your skin feel super moisturized after. As for putting it on your hair - it's optional to add some olive oil into the yogurt as well. So take some yogurt (however much you think you need) and add about a tbsp of olive oil. Put it all over the hair and let it sit for a good half an hour. Then rinse it out - and you can shampoo and condition your hair afterwards if you so choose. It supposedly leaves your hair not only softer but more smooth as well. I will look for the plain/natural yogurt and try this. But don't be scared to try it yourself - I mean what's the worst thing that can happen with yogurt? So do it - or don't, really I just thought it sounded kind of cool.

One little update from my life - I went and saw the movie Tangled last night. Yes it's animated, yes it's Disney...if you like either of those or both then see it! I thought it was pretty cute with some pretty funny parts. I quite enjoyed the horse and the little chameleon (and of course now I wish I had a cute little animated chameleon to play hide and seek with). But I didn't think there was anything special about the music in it. It was pretty dry in my opinion - but that could just be me! I still think it's worth seeing :)


OH! And I don't know if people don't read my blog anymore or if they just don't feel it necessary to respond - but I haven't heard from many of you! I want comments (and questions) and YES I'm pushy :l
Hope all is going well and don't worry - Christmas break is in sight! Just get through those finals (for those who this applies to).
Miss you W.

Toodles for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I love hot chocolate - a lot. If you like mint chocolate...try adding either a mint tea bag to your chocolatey delight or sticking a candy cane in there!

HAPPY DECEMBER!

Sure it's been December for well...a week. But I'm here! I'm hoping to get a few blogs in for this month - because I may not like the cold but I LOVE the Christmas season!
I love hot chocolate, I love fireplaces and most of all I love caroling :)!

Well I'll start with what's been going on in my life and then give a little rant about Christmas (and no the beginning was not even close enough to covering it).
Alrighty! So last I left off was - well you look if you want to know :P
I'm still living here in the big city and I'm still living alone in my sister's place (while she's on vacay) Still talking to that sister (through emails and calls) and another sister (who moved to Baku). Anywho...for the most part life is pretty good! I enjoy the city and I like my job for now. I'm still trying to decide what I should do with my life for forever - but I still have time (I guess). I like my ward (church for those who don't know) and I'm involved with choir and music within that. It's actually been pretty busy lately with choir and being asked to sing for another thing. So I've been practicing and such. But I'm not complaining! I love music and ESPECIALLY Christmas music :)
BUT one bit of eventfulness - however unnecessary it was...A BUS HIT ME! A city bus... ran into my back right corner. It wasn't very bad by any means but it was still a pain! I stopped at a red light and there were apparently going to get behind me - and YES, you can use your imagination. So that was not so pleasant. And I had to make a claim and all that jazz. After the bus hit me - all I could think was really? Again? Is this a sign? Should I not be living here? Should I give up the keys? Throw in the towel? Call it a day? (Yes I'm sure you get the point) But all this was running through my mind and I eventually just said well you know what - it wasn't my fault and things happen. SO MOVING ON WITH LIFE - hopefully there's no more accidents in the near (or distant) future.

OH! AND that night I went home and the fireplace didn't work! And it hasn't worked since then - and it depresses me slightly but what can I do? (Get it fixed?? Meh.)

Alright...well Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of the year. We would always have a huge get-together - the whole fam damily. There would be tons of food - probably slight weight gain, and we would act out the Nativity and well...it was always a disaster.
Sheep would be running free (and Shepherds too likely), Angels missing, Mary falling off the donkey and well - I think you get the drift. But for me - I wouldn't have it any other way! I loved those days and I hold those memories dear. Christmas (and also being away from them more) makes me appreciate my family - especially my parents - so much more. Sometimes I used to think what it would like if I would have been born into a different family, but honestly...now, I can't imagine that at all. I love my family so much and I'm grateful for my parents and the example they are and all they've done for me throughout my life.
But anyways - Christmas is full of delicious bevys, and scrumptious goodies.
And Christmas music - I love it. Enough said.

OH! Another thing - I've also gotten out my guitar! I hadn't played in - pretty much a year! pretty crazy eh? The first day was utterly painful, but I think my finger callouses are coming along pretty good again. :)

I think that's pretty much it....I haven't been home for a few weeks now, can't wait til Christmas! Miss everyone. Haven't been able to go to the gym as much as I used to because I usually work kind of late and don't feel up to it at 7ish. But I still try and go when I can!
Still need to get a few more Christmas gifts and keep practicing - one of my performances is this Sunday! Wish me luck!! :)

Tell me some of your Christmas memories/traditions! (message or comment)

Also! Looking for some questions of any sort - leave me a comment, text me, messsage, facebook... question me!

Hope all is well in your lives :D

BYE FOR MEOW :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I got W and I some special advent calendars this year (yes, where you eat a chocolate everyday - it's behind a special little window/door and it's awesome~!) - anyways...this awesome advent calendar is KINDER! It has little eggs, and shoko bons and yes just amazing. For Christmas it's a Kinder Surprise! I'm excited (and easily amused yes). But that is beside the point - just thought I'd let you know.

Happy Holidays Everyone~!

The time has come...

...For me to get another post up. So as you know I have moved to the bigger city and am working for my brother. My sister has gone on vacation to Indonesia until the end of the year, so now I'm all on my lonesome at her place. And it's kind of amazing how I crave PEOPLE. Really...it's kind of sad. I hardly know anyone up here, and I haven't made any friends in the new ward(church for those who didn't know). They're all in their groups already so - I'll admit to it...I'm a LONER.
My day goes as follows:
-wake up and do my 30 push ups (no real reason...just cause)
-contacts in, brush teeth, dress self
-drive to the office (which is also a reasonably easy and repetitive job but at least I talk to people on the phone?? *shrugs*)
-work for usually 10+ hours
-homeward bound
-exercise, eat, shower, watch a bit of tv (or something of this sort)
-go to bed, sleep, and start all over again

Thrilling eh? Not really...
But I still love life. (:

It's amazing all the time one has to think when they're on their own....though I don't think about anything productive (fail). I still don't know what to do with my life - it saddens me. Why can't it be all laid out on a platter what I should do with my life?

OH! I don't really want to share this....but what the hey - since moving here I've already gotten in a car accident. Pathetic. I was talking on the phone (can I get arrested for saying this? :X ) and I was lane changing and I don't know if I just didn't see the car or if it came from behind and raced up (but I suppose it doesn't really matter as I am sadly at fault) and my front/side bumper made a small dent in her car and the main thing was my mirror slightly dragged along the side of her car and there's a black mark along almost half her car and...well it's just sad. So I have to pay for the damage (obviously) and well...lets just say it's a surprisingly large amount for what seemingly wasn't a big deal (well it didn't appear to be anyways). So, this kind of depresses me as I have to come up with this money. SO this is where all you loyals show how much you care :D Click here to donate :3 Just kidding...settle yourself :P

Hmm... health and beauty segment.
Water. Drink lots of it. It keeps everything in your body regulated and equalized. It also keeps your skin hydrated and youthful looking, longer. Also it's just tasty (I think so anyways) and it helps remove wastes from your body (yay waste removal!). Also, it can help suppress hunger for a short period of time.

So now I will end for this time.

Ciao for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Christmas oranges (meaning those chinese ones or whatever) are utterly SCRUMPTIOUS...and I'm quite certain I could eat an unending amount of them. The end (fin)

Here's a song I enjoy for anyone who wants to check it out ... Aimee Mann - Today's The Day. I find it pretty and just relaxing.

Phewf... life is exhausting!

Hey everyone! It has been awhile and I have been meaning to get on here (I swears it to you) I've just been busy busy! Anyways, here I am :)

What's new.... well I'm no longer at Wal Mart and I've now moved! Sunday night was my last day at Wally and I'm not gonna lie, I'll definitely miss some of the people there and HECK I'll even miss the easy repetitiveness of the job. But it's ok, I think it was time to leave that behind (at least for now). SO! I've moved and I'm living with a sister of mine and working for a brother haha. (Oh all my family connections eh?) So I'm working in the office and all is going well so far! It's pretty easy there was just a lot of information for me to learn in a short period of time. BUT ALAS it is all crammed in there (I think?), whether I can recall it or not is a different story however...meh. So I get to sit at a computer with an earpiece to answer phones, do invoicing, play with the work cell (new htc... kind of cool) and schedule appointments. The phones get pretty busy sometimes, but for the most part... it's not too shabby :)

So yes, for those of you who didn't know I had moved...surprise! haha.

AH yes, I was considering doing a Health/Beauty blog..and I'll still do that when I have time :)

To start that off, I'll just say...I'm presently eating french fries - YAY! haha. I do think it's important to eat from all the food groups but I do think it's also important to just relax and enjoy yourself every now and then. If one refrains themselves for too long...it's just unnecessary, then you either begin to crave things or you just have a binge fest all at once. It's better to just let loose every now and then. And honestly a little physical activity every day is not only a) really great for you, but b) not hard to do! Even if it's just a short walk...something is better than nothing. So if you ever think...nah it's not worth it. It is worth it! So defy your brain and just do it! That is my rant of the day. It was very quick and pretty straight forward. BUT MEH! :D

ANYWAYS. Hope all is well and whatnot in your lives.

Byeah for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Generally I always have nail polish on my toesies...HOWEVER I actually haven't painted my toes since I got back from California. Yep that's how lazy I've been. And now I want to! So I'll probably do it this weekend, I'll let you know if I'm successful or not :) haha. Also, I never paint my finger nails... ever.
