Ready set...Goal

What an eventful week. All of my hard work on Etsy finally paid off. I am the proud owner of a brand spanking new Scion XB 2011. Yaaaay I did it:) one of the first new years resolutions I actually stuck to. The car has been great, gas is much better too so more money in my pocket. My friend Melissa already nicknamed the car...Perry the Platupus don't askK lol!


I have also made the decision its time to start getting healthy again. This means eating better and resuming a workout schedule. Today I went back to the gym for the first time since gettingmarried, over 2 years ago. I ran a mile in 18:46. Pretty pathetic seeing I used to be able to run one in ten minutes. We all need to start somewhere.

The point of this blog is to announce my newest goals for the end of 2010. Thus far its been a great year. I have been focused and have met all the goals I have set before myself, so now its time to make new ones. I plan on continuing to grow both of my etsy shops. Hair.Sew.Vintage will be launching a woodland series of hair combs perfect for fall and winter brides or any holiday festvities coming up. I plan on getting fit again and recreating myself. New look, new hair, new posative outlook on life. Now that I have my car I need another reason to save money, another big goal. I have decided to start a cd account with the bank. They have hight intrest rates and you can't touch the money. Maybe a new house will be in our future?? Let's just see what happens;)

To highlight or not to highlight

I usually get this itch for a make-over every so often. I think its just human nature for us girls. Due to the damage caused by highlights I have let my hair rest for about 2 whole years!! I have made slight changes to the "do" such as coloring it either dark brown, brownish red, or black in the winter. I have not done anything drastic in a long time. I always keep my hair at a long length. That way I can wear it straight or curly. I usually cut a few layers to make it look full and frame my face. I would feel naked without my length. So its the same ole cut for me, but I did make an appointment for highlights Monday evening:X



I am thinking full head with my base color of dark brown/black and adding some streaks in red and caramel. Hope it comes out pretty especially seeing I sell hair accessories on Etsy. I can't be sporting jacked up hair...no can I? Well here's to my last weekend of being a brunette...at least for awhile;)

Hair Trends

As you can see in my Etsy shop photos...I Love braids they are my signature style. You don't have to be in grade shcool to sport this trend anymore. Celebrities are popping up all over the red carpet with elegant braided locks. Here is a picture of Nicole Richie donning a braided do. I think she looks very elegant and chic. I will definitely be trying to mimic this look. Other celebs on this trendwagon include Sienna Miller, Jessica & Ashley Simpson, Lauren Conrad, Jennifer Aniston and Hayden Panettiere. So stay tuned to my shop and blog for more braided hair ideas. I can't wait to showcase some of my new hair combs. Now if only I could get my photographer (aka my husband) to cooperate.
