Summer agenda #1 COMPLETED

I committed to getting my hair dyed professionally by buying a new eyebrow pencil (NYX Auto eyebrow pencil in #EP06 Taupe) and did the deed last Thursday @ Salon Classy since they were the only salon who seemed to provide hair extensions within my price range too. Honestly though, you get what you pay for. I just snipped them all out a few minutes ago because they were ridiculously irritating.

Pro:
  • Did what it was supposed to do and added a significant amount of length and some volume to my hair
Cons:
  • Quality of the extensions was terrible ~ I had numerous split ends even though I used 3 different types of leave in conditioners and it didn't look very natural unless I kept brushing my hair otherwise they'd remain in their straggly bundles
  • Maintenance was a b ~ Blow drying is a no-no and air drying is nearly impossible. The stylist said I'd be able to curl or straighten it as long as I kept everything on low heat, but there was no effect whatsoever
Next time I'll be sticking to clip-ins or at least consult with the other two reputable salons that provide extension services once I save up again -__- And I definitely won't ever get them done in the middle of summer especially when it's so effing humid. I'm really satisfied with the color though! Might even go lighter in a month or so, but will probably buy a home kit instead just to save money and time.

Too happy for words

A couple of weeks ago, mi novio stopped by at the office to give me this in celebration of our one month! ^__^ I'm one of those sentimental celebratory suckers so I like to recognize even the smallest things in life! Thank goodness I found someone who feels the same way!

We also went on a breakfast date to Cafe Kaila later in the week ~ couldn't have been happier when I saw that they served lox & bagels!! I was craving them for over a year now and they were dericious! So sad that there's less than a month of summer left ;__; It's definitely been the best one as of yet full of surprise visits, shnuggling, and yummy food!

Favorite Vitamin Water flavor!
We kinda have this competition going on based on our memory and it all started when he got sick shortly after he asked me out. I went to Don Quijote and made him a small care package with cough drops and other things. While I was standing in line, I saw a pack of apple & pineapple flavor Trident Layers and remembered how I had offered some to him while we were in the same psych class and I couldn't stop laughing at his response. ^__^ So ever since then, we've been reminiscing about our little encounters and somewhat testing each other on how well we remember favorites and what not!

Summer agenda #7

GET FIT! ..In effort to complete SA #3 @__@

So I've been making excuses and putting off losing weight for too long, but today is the day! I started the Fit Test for Insanity and quit halfway through because it's just too ridiculous for my weak self. I'm so out of shape..I'll try again once I settle into my newb routine ;___;

And to improve my body in general, I finally bought Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy and a cell body roller from Don Quijote. Just started using both and of course, no visible results, but hopefully it'll be somewhat noticeable by the end of the month? ..If not, there's always Rodial Tummy Tuck & FatGirlSlim.
