I am struggling with trying to get all my cosmetology kit just perfect. I carry a lot of stuff in my kit. Trying to fit everything is sometimes really hard. I like my kit to be clean and perfect. Sometimes it is not always like that. My kit is super heavy. Between my kit, my doll head, my books, lunch and my purse there is a lot to carry. This is why I am thinking about getting a cross over purse from target. I thought the one above would be perfect!

I love the color and I LOVE croc. So it works for me well. Its pretty and I am able to keep my hands free to hold other stuff. My purse wont go no where and I don’t have to worry about losing it or someone stealing it. It is also not expensive too. So if it should get dirty, I can just get a new one and not have to worry that I ruined a good bag.

Ever since I started school, I decided that I wanted to video blog. I bought myself a really nice video camera to take blogs about life and school. I thought it would be awesome to start making vlogs about it. I like to document what I have been doing. I can always go back and look at what I did. It is really neat to do that. I cant wait to do other things with it too.

I have been thinking about bringing it to school while I am doing certain things to my doll hair. I would have one of my friends hold the camera while I do what I need to my doll hair. I am also planning on doing my friends foils on Tuesday, so maybe I could set up the camera so that I can video tape what I am doing. Not only is this good for me to review, I would hope it would help others too.

When I go to places that I do not know, I always take my GPS with me. I do not want to get stuck somewhere I do not know where I am going. So this is why having a GPS is a good thing. I do not travel very far, but sometimes I do go to places where I have never been before. It is a good feeling to know that I know where I am going or at least the GPS will get home without being nervous and scared that I have no idea where I am.

Having a GPS is not a bad idea. I also have a GPS app on my iPhone as well. It reads out where I am going. The only bad thing about the app is if my phone is dead or my phone will act up, you cant use it. Or if for some reason the app wont work, this is where the GPS system comes in. Having a map on hand is always helpful too.

When I take long trips with my nephew, I usually take my portable DVD player with me. Kids get bored easily and it good to keep them busy. This is why I got my nephew a portable DVD player for his birthday along with his favorite DVDS for car trips that are far. This way he will get distracted and he wont grumpy and whine that the car trip is taking to long. Kids do this because there bored. They are tired of sitting. It is good to take them to area where they can run around a little and walk.

It is important if you buy a case, you should make sure that you protect your DVD player and your DVDS by having some sort of storage bag or case. So that it doesn’t get ruined or the DVDs don’t get broken. Then you will hear someone cry and you don’t want that!! Get yourself a nice storage case.

I have been getting more into fitness lately. It is hard because I am in school and my hours crazy. So any time that I can find to get my fitness in, I will. So I went over to Target and found this awesome watch. I find that it helps me with my fitness. I am able to track a lot of stuff. This is good for my busy lifestyle. Between work and school I have no time. It really sucks, but I have to do it.

I want to loose my weight for good. Once I get to my goal, I will always be watching my weight. It will always be a issue. I will always be working out and watching what I am eating. This is something that I will have to do for the rest of my life. If I want to keep my weight off, you have to watch what you eat and work out.

I love animal print! I am crazy for animal print. Zebra, leopard and other animal print. In my beauty case, I never got a straight iron in my case. So I wanted to get a small little iron. I like that this iron is super small. It fits in my purse too. So if I go to my boyfriend’s house and I want to straighter my hair, I can just throw my straighter in my purse and be out the door. My boyfriend has a hair dryer and tons of hair products. He is super obsessed with his hair!

I know that there are other straighter out there, but I really like this one for the size. It also fits nice in my beauty kit too. It is also reasonable in price. Some of them can be really pricey, but I dont need anything high ended right now.

Every makeup artist needs a really good brush set to create a beautiful canvas. As a beauty student, they didn’t give us a really nice makeup brush set. So I am asking for a really nice makeup brush set for my birthday. I already have a nice set of makeup brushes for my personal use. I just need a better pair for my clients. I hate brushes that are rough and pull. That is what those brushes I got from school do. I know that my clients would not want that. So it is important that I start looking for a new set.

The good thing about brushes is that they can be used and reused. There are certain thing you can use such as mascara. I would not use mascara wand on other peoples eyes. That is how you create infection. This is why disposable wands work well.

This blog post is for all you makeup lovers out there!! The Urban Decay Naked 2 pallet is out! According to Sephora.Com the pallet offers “dozen pigment-rich taupe and gray-beige neutrals, plus five exclusive, new shades”. I am a huge makeup fan, especially eye shadow. I must have a billion eye shadows all in different colors. Blues, greens, yellows and many more. I usually depot them and place in either a home made pallet or a regular pallet already made for circle eye shadows such as the MAC Cosmetics makeup eye shadow pallet.

The Sephora.Com details of this product shares that this pallet (only from Sephora) offers a travel-size Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked and a double-ended, cruelty-free Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush. How cool is that? I havent had a chance to get this pallet yet, but I do plan on getting it once I get paid. I just hope it is not sold out at my local Sephora!

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for awhile. It was only until recent that I let the cat out of the bag about us dating. I really didn’t want to say anything because we met while I was still married but during that time we were friends. My divorce was final three weeks later and I was free. But I guess according to my ex husband he was free long time ago. Oh well! Life goes on!

So because I didnt want to rock the boat while still “married” I kept our love for each other secret. I didnt say anything. Only a few people knew about us. Somehow news always seems to travel back. Not that I really care, I just want to be happy and I can say I really am!

Last year durning Christmas time, the mister and I went to see the tree in New York City. He gave me the most beautiful promise ring ever! I was so happy, over joyed and speechless. I didn’t know what to say. So in return, I have been looking at some mens titanium rings for him. There are so many. I don’t want it to look like a wedding band (because we both agreed that we were not going to rush things). I want to get him something sleek yet fashionable.

Do you have a iPhone, iPad, iTouch or any other apple product? iTunes cards make great gifts. They even have great packaging that you are able to get 3 $10 dollar gift cards. There great for stocking stuffers or just to put in a birthday or get well card. I think that it really neat how they did that. Very clever!

I have a iPhone and I use iTunes all the time. I love finding new games, videos and music on iTunes. I love seeing new items on there. They update stuff a lot. I always check on it before I go to bed. There is cheap, semi cheap, expensive and super expensive apps, movies and music. It all depends on what your looking for.

For example, for my beauty school we have a app on the iTunes app store to help us study for the New Jersey state board test. I would find this super helpful even thought this app is $35 dollars plus tax.
