17. Holdays

I honestly can't believe it's been virtually a month since I last posted. This may be the longest break I've ever taken. Not that it matters. I've been having fun enjoying life ! That's what really matters, right?

Thanksgiving came and went, and now it's only 10 days till Christmas. 16 days till New Years Eve, and that also happens to be the day my Fiance proposed last year! Its hard to believe that any of this is even going on. Since we were always the couple who would never get married. I guess being together for 7 years changes things. ;) Thinking of doing a post looking back on that day before the end of the month. Not only to be able to try and live it a little again, but share it on the new blog as well!

I wanted to leave you guys with some pictures of what's been going on this past month since I'm short on words and time at the moment! Greg and I threw our first Holiday Party/Birthday Party! Went To San Fransisco for 2 concerts, and got our Christmas Tree! Add work and that was our month in a nut shell! Sorry for the cheap Instagram photo's, but my phone is always the best means of documentation since its always on me.

16. If the shoe fits

I'm not sure what all of you think about knockoffs out there... but being a girl on a HUGE budget, I'm down.  I recently came across a site called GoJane. I'm going to be honest and say that the clothes are more a long the lines of Wet Seal/Contempo Casuals kind of thing. On the other hand, most of the shoes are awesome. Awesome as in I can finally get myself a pair of 'Litas'. Probably the closest I will get while planning a wedding and figuring out how to get back into school when that's over! So for a girl like me, these are beyond perfect. Looking forward to maybe adding a pair of suede ones to these so my cute shoes don't get lonely. ;)Maybe I'll get a few pairs of cute socks to throw on during these cold Winter type days we have been having around my parts of California. Brrrrrr.

15. In My Baby's Arms...

Sometimes you have to let the songs do all the talking.... or blogging in this case. I know I will never ever ever be alone... 

This song goes out to the best man I know...

My Fiance.

14. 10 Months

Well, I can't say I've been doing a great job at blogging! Nothing wrong with that. Usually means I have been enjoying my life instead of filling it with internet time!

Speaking of time, its exactly 10 months away from my WEDDING! Those are words I never thought I would type, speak or write down. Ever! Needless to say I am getting more excited each day.. and more nervous! In a good way. Planning is quiet at the moment. Hopefully I can stock pile all my energy and save it for when things start to really get crazy around March! I'm guessing sleep will no longer be in the cards about 6 months out. I get a little to anxious in any exciting situation. This being my wedding, I'm sure my ever present anxiety will be in overdrive! 

The other day I finally treated myself to a 'real' haircut! I say 'real' because for the last  years I have been cutting my own hair. Not exactly ideal. Luckily, it never look horrible. Needless to say it was great going to a salon and being pampered a tad. Doesn't hurt that my hair is finally looking healthy and has more than one layer!

And a quick pic of my hair! 

P.S. Thanks again to everyone who helped vote in the contest.We didn't win... but there was a lot of effort put in by a lot of people! Thanks Again!

Change in plans....

I wasn't planning a post for today but I had to share this song. I really love She & Him... and I really love Christmas! So when I heard they were coming out with a Christmas album I just about died! I think this will be the #1 thing played at my house this Holiday Season!

Enjoy.

11. Hair Guacamole?

Yes, you read that correctly. Hair Guac! Okay, okay I fib. Well, I did use avocado in my hair... but I left out the other ingredients. ;) I did however make a nice little hair mask. I found the recipe on thebeautydepartment.com . There's only consisted of avocado and olive oil, but I thought I would try and amp it up a bit by adding a few other products. I threw in some honey for extra shine and argan oil that I mentioned in my diy leave in conditioner post last week. After blending it all up I jumped in the shower to wash my hair. After that I got out and applied all of what I had made. Took a blow drying to it for a little over a minute and left it in for a little over 30 minutes. 

After I finally had all the nasty green stuff out I just left my hair to air-dry. The product left my hair a bit limp due to the oils, but I should have only put it half way up my head, not on the scalp. I really liked the fact my hair was really soft and had a lot less frizz. The results only lasted about a day. after taking my next shower I had to wash because the oils built up REALLY fast. So less is more in this case! 

Next i'm going to do a home hand milk bath. I've always wanted to do that so I figured I would share that as well. 

Hope everyone is having a great week. Don't forget to go vote on the contest my fiance and I are in!
