Wish List in my dreams!!! hahaha

Everyone keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and honestly I don't care if I get anything! That's the truth! The older I get the more I appreciate the value of a dollar!!! haha Just for fun though I thought I would put together a little wish list of mine I create as I'm surfin the net! Who doesn't do that?! hahaha Things I would LOVE but would never want anyone to actually spend on me!!!

Ha yes I would trade my Chi for one of these bad boys!!! I have heard nothing but good things about this straightner and have wanted one for a while! I just have a perfectly good Chi-tah that my good Army friend gave me for my birthday a couple years ago so I didn't want to replace something that wasn't broken! This runs about $165ish! I'm saying that because it's apparently on some kind of sale at Sephora and that's what the price is right now from $185! 

The Canon Rebel Xs <3 <3 <3 I have wanted one of these cameras FOREVER!!!!! This is my Passion next to film editing!!! These can run you around $500 or less depending on where you buy it I have found many different prices and I am shocked at that price because I thought it was closer to $1000

Buckle Miss me Studded Jeans!!! I have wanted a pair of these forever but can't bring myself to spend nearly a $100 a pair!!!!! I buy my jeans at Rue 21 for $!9.99!!! haha These are exceptionally cute though and maybe one day I will splurge on a pair for myself...or I'll just buy a bedazzler and make my own! hahaha

I want these for my Jeep!!! They run a few $100's so I'm not exactly sure on the exact amount or even round about but yea more than my pocket change! haha They would look sooo cute on my Jeep tho and I have wanted some ever since I got my Jeep! :D

This is a little different than what most people would ask for prolly but I love these glasses by Baby Phat! They run about $117 I believe!!! I think they are just adorable! I don't think these are the exact ones they had at the store but I found these and I like them too because of the croc design and of course the big bling on the side! haha Whenever I decide to get a very needed check-up at the eye doctor I will hopefully get these!!! :D 

*Sigh* Isn't she beautiful?! I'mn otusually your typical gotta have it Coach Purse kinda girl but I love the Poppy collection and I LOVE this purse!!! I love shiny!!! It's all sequins and plaid is a plus! It's the POPPY SEQUIN TARTAN XL SPOTLIGHT!!! It runs about $585 on the website! One day...One day...:) *sigh*

Que the angel music!!! Ahhhh!!! hahaha The Orange and Black Polaris RZR!!! I want this SOOOO BAD!!!!! You have NO IDEA!!!!! These Dudes run about $14,000!!! YIKES!!! I will own one on day!!! Hopefully!!! hahaha

I want a treadmill soo bad too!!! I have wanted one for a while!!! This is just a random one I picked off of Walmart's website because it has one of the best star rating haha I just want any kind or brand tho as long as it's a good one! 

This Jacket is HOT! I have wanted a Biker Chick jacket for a while ever since I started riding on the back of my boyfriends bike! I just love it! I love the quilted design at the top and how it comes together at the neck! It's just all around a hott jacket! :D

This jacket it just awesome! I found it on Victoria Secret's website and it's a 4-in-1 Cargo Jacket!!! 

Here is one of the styles it can change into!!! :D It's more of a vest look! :)

This is a more cropped vest! Very cute!!! :)

This is a cropped jacket look! This is sooo cute! This jacket runs about $78!!!

 Well there you have it! That is my Wish List IN MY DREAMS!!! hahaha Maybe I'll get some of those eventually but not anytime soon!!! haha I hope anyone who read this had fun and I encourage you to make your own Wishlist IN YOUR DREAMS! You may not actually get any of the things you wish for but it's fun to window shop and try and make out some kind of goal to maybe eventually try and get the things you want! :D If anyone wants to share there wishlist please feel free to tell me yours!!! :D 

With love and window shopping wishes xoxo,

Summer <3

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey

Oh life...How it keeps going and changing everyday...It waits for no one and you just gotta keep up and keep goin along with it no matter what gets thrown your way in your path...(my vanilla chai tea latte I made this morning and put into my Buc-ee's mug just started crackling...is that weird?! Because I think yes!) Oh hey, I have ADD I just haven't been properly diagnosed...anyway as I was saying about my in depth thought about life...oh eff it I lost it...haha I originally planned for this blog to be about shopping and good deals and makeup and it still will!!! Don't run away yet if anyway actually cared...haha I still will add those here and there because trust me I have found some good ones lately and just never posted them...I don't know what good that does any of you but I'm just sayin HEY I still shop! haha Woo BIG surprise! haha I want this to be sort of a blog as well! Something to get my thought and randomness out here and there! Wow I know you can't see this but it says "chai" is misspelled but "randomness" is spelled correctly...odd. I wasn't aware that was actually a word! haha Another thing I want to do with this blog is express new ideas I have on upcoming projects I wanna do!  As most of my close friends know I am a complete video editing nerd and love making silly videos!!! I have one I am hoping to film tonight with my sister or brother whom ever comes over tonight if they can so someone can help me film it(...and borrow their laptop top...)! I don't wanna give away what it is but I think it's gonna be good!!! :D Yea I need a laptop BAD!!! Mine finally crapped out on me! It just up and decided it wasn't going to go to the log in page at all so it'll just stay on and do nothing!!! Just a blank screen! Don't call me impatient because I waited 2 hours (I watched tv it wasn't like I sat there and stared at the screen for 2 hours haha) for it to come on!!! Anyway I need a laptop...lol I prefer a Mac book pro now just for the editing program it has! Enough about that though it's making me sad I don't have a  computer...On another note if anyone has not gotten the new Taylor Swift Cd you totally should OMG it is AMAZING!!! One song I LOVE is "Better Than Revenge" it's supposedly suppose to be about Camilla Belle because of the whole Joe Jonas thing and if you listen to the song you'll believe it's about her as well! I haven't gotten to listen to the cd very much since I got it because right after Branden gave it to me as a late anniversary gift :) my radio went out mysteriously!!! It worked all weekend before the weekend of Halloween and then I didn't drive it Monday then Tuesday it didn't come on when I turned on my car!!! YES we checked the fuse box!!! That's was the very first thing we checked!!! Id on't know it's either a wire or it just up and died!!! On top of that note I still need to get my car to the shop and get it fixed from when someone decided it would be ok not to look where you're going when backing out of someone's dark driveway and back right into my Jeep!!! Oh if it's not one thing it's another!!! I hope tomorrow will be a good day! We were suppose to go to Renfest on Sunday but this morning I was informed by Branden that he looked at his schedule wrong and so now we won't be going like planned! On a brighter note tho my Mom and 3 youngest siblings are going tomorrow so I will be going with them! :D I am still going to be wearing my pirate costume as well! I just hope this weather warms up a tad bit!!! here's a picture of it so you know why!!! haha

 See what I mean!!! haha It is a little short in the back so I am in the process of trying to find something to go under it that matches and so that I'm comfortable!!! lol I can't wait to wear it!!! I'll post a pic on the next blog with the whole thing together along with pics from Renfest!!! :D Lunch time is here so I have to get going!!! I will not wait as long to update this next time!!! haha Bye guys :D

I LOVE this dress! It was $22! it is sooo comfy! So comfy I didn't realize I had it on backwards when we went tot he movies yesterday! haha I noticedd once we sat down and I felt the tag haha I ran to the bathroom and fixed it right away! Anyway Another shirt I got was at wetseal! I LOVE it and am actually wearing it right now! here's a pic of it!

p.s. Happy Shopping :)

My Blonde Adventure!!!

I recently went BLONDE! THe Journey to get there was not the funnest trip I had ever been on either but was it worth it?! YES!!! I'm going to tell you just how I got there and show you my steps along the way...WARNING: It is not pretty!!!! First off I was a very highlighted brunette when I started

So I wasn't just going from Dark Brunette to BLONDE! lol It still wasn't an easy process tho! This picture is about maybe less than a week after I got my hair last highlighted! a week or so after that is when I decided to go BLONDE! I do my research and go and buy my materials I am going to need! I went to Sally's for all my supplies. The first things I bought were: 

Quick Blue by Loreal

The next thing I bought was Salon Care 30 volume creme developer

The next the I bought was Clairol Professional Creme Toner in I think Champagne Beige 

The tools I used were Bleach bowl, a tint brush and black latex gloves

 

Here is the process step after step

First This is me with the bleach in my hair

 

Next is the result after...

 

I wasn't too thrilled with how it turned out obviously...hahaha

After I toned it and blow dried it this is what it looked like

 

This is me trying to make the best of the situation hahaha

 

being in denial about the orangness hahaha After that I had it toned again and slept in SHimmer Lights Purple Shampoo which looks like this

 

Sleeping in this probably wasn't the best idea ever (it left a purple stain on my head for a little bit until I went to the salon and they were able to get it out! *phew* haha) but it did take 80% of the Brassiness out and orange out!!!

After that I had an appointment at On Stage where they did an amazing job at fixing all the left over brassiness and making it look great!!! Here's a picture of me getting it done and a close up on the color after it was done... 

 

You can still see my hair that was not in the foil and how much lighter and non-brassy it was after I slept in the purple shampoo!

 

sooooo much better!!! It is a still a tad brassy but nothing a little purple shampoo won't fix :D After a couple more washes or maybe just one I can't remember this is my hair after that

 

TADA!!! It was a long road to get it this way but worth the hassel!!! (Ha you can see the dent on my left eyelid) Thank you to my friends Kirsten and Afton for helping me with the dying process!!! haha and Thanks to My Meme and Mom for helping me get an appointment so fast and helping out with the expenses of getting done at the salon! haha :D All in all The hair products I bought at Sally's were about $40 I think maybe a little more and the salon was $120 (yes I needed help with that part!) haha 

So if your planning on doing this yourself my advice is make sure your off work for the next couple days just in case and don't give your hopes up on it turning out exactly how you want the first time and if it is messed up call first thing in the morning to find a salon you want to go to! I wouldn't pay anything over what I paid for a stylist! That was actaully a pretty good deal for what she did! She re-bleached the orange strands and toned it down with a beige blonde toner. Other advice is it's easier if you  have somone help you so you don't miss any spots while dying your hair. Also important: Make sure and keep babies and animals away from the area where your dying/bleaching your hair the fumes are not good for them! We had to keep our chihuahua and pug out while doing mine! haha Goodluck to anyone deciding to do this!!! :D It can always be fixed! Even if that means going back dark! lol Also I have very thick hair too so if you have thin hair I would be careful and maybe ask a stylist or a professional on their opinion about bleaching your hair due to possible hair loss. Again Goodluck Guys! :D

 

Be safe and Have fun!!! :D

Early Early Birthday Present From Mom!!! :D

Yesterday my mom told me she had gotten something for me she is counting as an early birthday present that I am just going to flip over! I am soo excited by this point and just ask "what is it?!!!" haha She said "Was there anything at TJ Maxx that you might have wanted but didn't get?!" I then thought about it and I replied "Well I want a lot of things when I go there but nothing I can think of in particular! haha" When I got to her house she said again "Are you sure there wasn't anything particular you wanted and you didn't tell me?" I said "Not that I can htink of no! haha" She then gave me this gorgeous little thing!!!

I am absolutely in LOVE! This little purse/clutch is perfect for either everyday use or taking to a club and wearing it around your wrist to carry all those little things like lipgloss, your phone ect... All while being completely adorable!!! Also I have recently become obsessed with Betsey Johnson!!! This little piece of amazing was only $19.99!!! Originally $58 I think it said! That's a deal!!! Thank you sooooo much Mom!!! I Love You!!! :D

P.S. My Birthday is August 31 :D

My Favorite Items to wear Everyday!!! (at a CHEAP price!!!)

I Love cheap makeup! I also Love cute and everyday makeup! I'm a "stick to one thing and never branch out often" kind of girl when it comes to makeup! hahaha If I do try something new it's usually similar to things I already use just amped up a tad or my favorite CHEAPER! Here are just a few of my newly favorite things I have found to LOVE and are very wearable for day and night!

From left to right:

The double lipgloss tube is put out by E.L.F called the Plumping Lip Glaze in Oasis it has a minty feel and it a bronzy time shine that can go over a lip color base. It's a $1!

The Foundation pot is Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Light Ivory in Light-0 I am very pale especially in the face and what I will say about this is they recently changed the pigments in there levels and the lightest used to be perfect and still sort of is but it has a more yellow type pigment now but if blended well it still looks like a nice matte blended finish! It's around $6!

The Blush pot is Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in 40 soft plum and it may seem dark but I have learned that darker in blush is sometimes better because once blended out it fades and with this shade of pink it leaves the perfect pink glow! with lighter pinks it doesn't even show up on pale skin like mine! It's around $6!

The Yellow tube is of course the Maybelline Collosal Mascara in Glam Black and works wonders on lashes! I absolutely Love it! I have tried multiple other mascaras and brands and always come back to this one! It makes your lashes look fuller and longer and just make all the difference! It's around $6!

The Pink tube is put out by E.L.F and is the Minty Lip Gloss in the color Los Angeles and is a shimmery pink color with jsut the right amout of pigment and look gorgeous over most any chosen lip color! The shimmery is not overdone and is just enough shine you need and would want in a pretty lipgloss! It's $3

The Tan tube is N.Y.C Liquid Lip Shine in the color 552 which is the Cafe Mocha I think it is technically called and at first it threw me off with the odd color because I am so used to buying light pinks such as the Pink Kiss by N.Y.C as well but with this tan color lipgloss it goes well with a more bronzed look and makes your lips look sunkissed and is a great color for the Summer for that beachy look! It's $1.94!
The other Tan tube below next to the Blush is put out by E.L.F as well which is an eyelid primer! It is used to prime the eyelids for chosen eyeshadow! It helps keep your eyeshadow from creasing and also makes it brighter in my opinion and helps keep it on all day! It's only $1!

The little black tube above the primer is Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in black! It's the kind where you twist and the crayon come out! It is very conveinent and really does stay all day with maybe a tiny fix if your picky like me! haha It's between $7-$10!

The Golden trimmed compact is The baked Bronzer by Urban Decay in the shade Gilded is has a golden shimmer and is the lightest of the shades technically! It gives off just the right amout of sunkissed glow for a bronzer! I absolutey LOVE this! It's $24! (I used a Giftcard!!! ;D)

The Lipstick above the Bronzer is N.Y.C and in the color Chiffon 312B it is a very light baby pink and gives off more color payoff the more you layer it on but even just a basic sweep give off enough color and looks good under the E.L.F and is the Minty Lip Gloss in the color Los Angeles! It goes on very smooth as well! It's a $1!
The eyeshadow above the bronzer is Maybelline 35 Tranquil Sands High Pearl it's a really pretty beige color with a hint of shimmer to highlight your eyes or use for the corner color to blend out with other shades it reall ybrightens up your look and eyes!!! It's around $6!

The eyeshadow Trio is Wet n Wild in the shade Walking on Eggshells 380B it is a perfect blend of neutral bronze colors that work very well with the Maybelline 35 Tranquil Sands High Pearl! They are very pigmented colors and it also is labeled for your conveinence for what color goes on browbone, crease, and eyelid! The Browbone is a light beige almost white with a little bit of shimmer! The Crease is a really pretty brown with what looks like a little hint of golden shimmer! The Eyelid Color is a rosey pinkish bronze kind of color! Very gorgeous! It's around $3!

The tube next to the trio eyeshadow is N.Y.C. Sparkle Eye Dust in the color Champagne 893A it is a very shimmery golden eyeshadow dust that looks very good with a bronzed summer look! It is also a very good eye brightener! It is about $3!

Those are my finds and favorites at a cheap prices!!!
Except the Bronzer but a good replacements for that is which is around $10 (less than half the price!!!)

I Hope you enjoyed my picks and favorites and got some good ideas!!! :D

Have fun!

xoxo
Summer :D
