Ever have one of those days?

I am having one of those days today. I am not sad or depressed, I am generally happy, but just exhausted.  Now that I am attending two schools, going monday through saturday and one onlne class, I feel like I never have any time. I mean, you should see my day planner....booked...it's ridiculous! and I don't even work right now!! I wouldnt even be able to fit work into my hectic schedule. I don't want to complain, because before school started, I was like "jeez, will school start already? I am bored!" It's not even that, I just need some rest time!

I want to be able to sleep in, I want to spend more time with my children, I want to spend time with my mother before she goes off to Korea for a year, I want to spend time with my husband, I want to get my nails done, I wanna relax on the couch all day and watch make up videos on youtube and geek out on an art project, I want to visit with my friends more. I want time to shave my legs!!!!! I want to work out, I want to shop.

I feel like there are not enough hours in the day, and I don't have enough hours of sleep to get through each day. It's like a never ending battle. But this is life and I dont want to take anything for granted, I appreciate all that life throw's my way, all I want is some down time, for me to recharge my batteries. I have to remember that these rough times will pay off, I just have to hang in there. Every thing happens for a reason, I may not see that now, but later I will.

I just wanted to send that out to the universe so it's not bottled up in me anymore. So, thanks for reading and I hope everyone has an awesome week!

Polly Want A Cracker?




So here's a video that one of our learning leaders posted of us during a communication exercise...we were all blindfolded and was told we were a specific animal...and that we had a "partner" and we had to find them using only the sound that our animal makes...and we couldnt talk at all. It was really funny and our learning leader, Christina is the one laughing really loud!

I am the one in the beginning walking around with a yellow bandana and pink earrings....and then once I found my partner ..oh I was a monkey....lol I started screaming like a monkey too....lol watch as the rest of the class stumbles to find their animal partner!

We do fun stuff like this everyday...makes learning about hair really fun!

World Market Haul


on our way to Newport News to World Market


About a week or two ago, my mom and I and a friend went out to World Market in search of things to decorate mom's place when she gets to Korea.  My mom and I love to decorate, and sometimes our styles are different, we do every now and then agree on something that is really cute! But hey, that's mother for you!

So, what I found at World Market was a really cute director's chair that I got in white and I picked a purple canvas....the chair itself was $17.99 and the canvas was $8. I also found a metal candle holder that is silver and hot pink on the inside!!! and when you put a candle in it, the design on the holder projects the beautiful design. I love it!!!


My first visit to World Market last year

And then there's the desk, which is all white and has legs similar to the directors chair. I know some of you prolly think I am such a geek for being so excited about a desk...but if you knew me well enough, you would know I get excited about alot of weird stuff, like second hand stores, rainy days, sugar donuts, a lady bug....yea it may seem I am totally random, but like the quote i found online, I will say this: " I am not random, my brain is just faster than yours!"..ok, getting off subject, the desk was $180 all white finish and it just looks so crisp in my blue room, I feel so inspired already by it. I am one of those artists that has to have everything all set up before I can begin anything, whether it is a drawing, a painting, a design, or whatever, yes, I have to have my pencils all in a row, my books stacked up and the tv on for back ground music and of course, DR. Pepper. lol call me crazy but this is how I roll!

Topsy Turvy Day


Today, our family celebrated the birth of my daughter, Arabella. She turned 7 years old yesterday, but we celebrated today. A few days ago, the kids and I made all the layers of the cake! We made 2 layers of yellow cake, 1 layer of brownie, and then 2 layers of french vanilla! I even attempted to try and make fondant out of marshmellows.....which was fun making, but very sticky and hard to roll....so I ended up going to Micheal's and buying the already made fondant in purple, hot pink and white.


Everyone loved the cake, and it was alot of fun making it! Arabella had a good birthday and I am so thankful I was able to spend time with my children. I hope that they will remember all the special times we share together. My mom and I loved it as well, we were able to get a taste of what it would be like to bake these crazy outrageous cakes...because she is possibly thinking about opening up a bakery once she gets back from Korea and she retires from the navy.
The best part of today was just hanging out with the kids, we played Spongebob Squarepants Operation...and Matthias beat us all in both games that we played! I even painted Matthias as a clown! He loved it and so did Jermie! I am hoping the Circus is gonna be coming in the spring because the kids have never been....(random thought I know) and then driving them back to their dad's, they were singing "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga....( I think my kids love her just as much as I do!) lol
well, that was my day, so I will close this up and get back to eating the rest of my piece of leftover topsy turvy cake and dr. pepper and watching Jerseyliscious. hehehehe

Time flies when your'e having fun!

I havent been on lately to blog all week! The new semester started last monday and then the next day, Tuesday my classes started at The Rudy & Kelly Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School! I am so in love with this school! The energy and the atmosphere is so amazing, I feel so motivated to go and I feel like I am on the right path towards being successful and making a name for myself. Everyday I learn something new and I meet awesome people everyday. I have a big "kit" filled with combs, blow dryer, straightener, clips in a sleek carrying case. I feel so professional!



Me posing with my doll, I named her Lily....which is my fav flower!!!

Being at two schools is exhausting and trying to balance my schedule and my husbands and of course spending quality time with the kids! Arabella's 7th birthday is coming up and I am planning on baking a topsy turvy cake......and so I will be posting a video on that too!

Sorry this post is short, but I am afraid this is all I can pump out because I am catching another cold :(

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Coming soon to a computer screen near you!


I finally edited my first video and posted it on youtube. This is a new year and its time for new adventures! I wanted to start a youtube channel for a few months now. I subscribe to so many people and I enjoy watching videos, so I thought "Why not?". I have always loved making videos when I was a kid, in fact I made a rather embarrasing reinactment of the Spice Girl Movie when I was 15.....that my mom tries to use to blackmail me. hahahaha!

I am going to be posting a lot of different things...from painting, makeup, hair and other arts and crafts, maybe some shopping hauls. I am very excited about it and hope people will like to watch it.



The next video I am editing should be ready tomorrow (I am hoping!) I also have the school starting on Monday, so I am trying to get everything done. Be on the look out!

Cheers to the New Year! 2011

Happy New Year!!!!! 2011


Happy New Year to everyone! I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday! New Year's was fun for Jermie and I, this was our first New Years actually doing something. Last year, we didnt go out, so this year we went out to a friend's house for a small get together. We wanted to go dancing at a club, but the cover charges are ridiculous!!! or the new slang i keep hearing...re-donkulus, hahahaha weird. I didnt drink on New Years..although I wish I could say the same about Jermie.....lol check out his drunken stare in this picture! hehehehehehe

Right after we kissed at midnight! lol


For some reason, I have been into doing blue eyeshadow so, of course I dressed in blue and black. We had fun hanging out with old friends but as soon as it was midnight, we were ready to go. hahahaha. Thankfully we dont live far from where we were at.



Reading up on all the blogs I follow...and videos on youtube that I watch, everyone is posting about their New Year's Resolution. I cant remember if I have already mentioned it, but my New Year's Resolution is to save money, because Jermie and I want to buy a house, or a townhouse. I can never have just one resolution....so another resolution is to continue doing good in college and to complete my training at the Rudy & Kelly Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School. I should be finished with the program by November. I am so excited because once I am completed with that, I will be able to start actually making a name for myself as a stylist and make up artist and start doing things that I love, such as painting, art, fashion, style, cooking, sewing, make up and so much more.

can barely see it, but my eye shadow is a purty blue!


My last resolution is that I want to make videos on youtube and make my blog more public. A part of me is nervous to do that, mainly because I am terrified that no one will watch or read it, or that they will find me incredibly boring....but I think it will be fun to post videos on sewing and make up and hair tricks....Who knows? So, I want to start that too. We will see. My schedule is gonna be busy enough going to two schools, and being a mom and a wife and whew....but I can handle it!



So here is to 2011, may ALL YOUR GOALS AND DREAMS BE TURNED INTO REALITY WITH HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION!



With hope and dreams of the future, Ce Cilia Marie
