TiLt

Sorry I've been absent lately. I feel like I haven't slept in 3 weeks because I have been studying so much! BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! I got 3 A's out of 4 exams (one was a B) so I went out and bought extensions. I'll post pics when they get layered in correctly.
Anyway! Here is this weeks TiLt:
1. Cupcakes from Coldstone. They blow my mind
2. Making my own cupcakes.
3. My mom's new oven. I want to run over there and bake RIGHT NOW!
4. Seeing hard work pay off in the form of grades and feeling justified in buying something nice for myself
5. Searching for the perfect songs to put on a mixed CD for the lil' bro for his birthday - which is today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANNER!
6. Hanging out with friends and family I don't get to see much
7. Getting back to an old and comfortable job and place in life.

Break a habit.
Do something that makes you feel insecure.
Carry out an action with complete attention and
intensity, as if it were your last.”

My hurr!

Here it be. None are really close to the ones I had asked if u liked them or not; but they would have required chopping a lot of hair off. That is not my favorite option since I am trying to grow out my hair. So I picked one that I liked the color the most. So there it is!

The joys of insomnia

Insomnia is really AWESOME!
As I write it is 2:34 AM. I need to be up about 8 AM and as you can clearly see I am very pleased about this. The reason for my insomnia?
The little red and white bumps on my arms. Also known as HIVES. As they are hives from stress and not allergies; Benadryl or other antihistamines do not work and I do not have any anti-itch cream in the house. Joy of joys!
I really need the power of positive thinking right now. How do you deal with/feel better about insomnia?

Notes to Self

This will be a recurring post. I am really trying to stick to a budget so these pics are proof to myself that I have everything I need to look fabulous already in my closet!
This is how I do Androgony:





Accessories (besides crown broach) from Icing
Broach and Pants from Charlotte
Tops from Connie (hand me downs from my aunt!)
Glasses by Bebe
Herringbone tights from Target
P.s. I apologize for not posting any hair pics yet! I have gotten my hair done but I haven't had time to style it really cute to take pics of and show you! SOON!
