First Guest

Today was an awesome, beyond awesome day! Even though it was a lil rainy this morning, it did not put a damper on my day. We had a guest speaker this morning, Taryn Aiken, a color specialist from the Advanced Academy. She talked about her life mainly and her background, how she was a recovering alcoholic and addict and how Paul Mitchell School and her career saved her life. She had the whole room laughing and crying and she was an inspiration to all. Her stories touched the hearts of not just me, but everyone in the room. It just goes to show, that no matter what we go through in life, we can pick ourselves up and again and move on. We have the support in each other. I could go on forever about her story and my story, but I just wanted to share a small piece of the experience of this morning. Some of us encouraged her to start a youtube channel, so maybe she will.

Another exciting thing about today was that I had the first guest in  my chair today! I really wasnt nervous especially after my inspirational morning, so I greeted my guest and followed the steps I was taught. I had a guy come in for a male haircut. I shampooed and conditioned and began my cut with the help of my learning leader and before I knew it, I was done! I am so glad I didnt have a bad experience for my first cut! I didnt get any pictures (my camera was dead). I even got my first tip of $5. Not sure if I want to frame it...lol cheesy huh?

well, just wanted to share parts of my day! Thanks for stopping by!

A big Blur

I painted this last year and decided to give it to Lucy, a girl in my class

Alot has happened this week, I am sorry I havent blogged in a while, but this week has been so busy with classes in both schools, preparing for tests, taking hubby to work, spending time with the kids, and with my mom and brother leaving this week, it has been a lil hectic and I am stressing out a lil bit. One of my classmates told me today something I usually tell other people, but we rarely ever take our own advice, but she told me "Take one thing at a time" and I swear, a lil lightbulb went off in my head. I took a deep breath and exhaled. 

My first cut!!!

The last week,  in Rudy & Kelly Paul Mitchell School, we finally learned how to cut hair, and then we had spa week where we learned how to do facials, manicures, pedicures and waxing! It was so much fun to finally learn these things. Who knew there was so much to cosmotology??? Also, a couple weeks ago, one of my classmates, Terry gave me this awesome "face" award ( face means giving recognition to someone) for my Sweet Surrender Blog! She painted and decorated a record, which was the soundtrack to Grease (which is one of my favorite movies)!

This week, my husband and I are moving back into mom's since she is moving to Korea for a year :( We had a Bon Voyage party for my mom last week along with my brother's bowling birthday party. Here's a couple pictures.

Me, Nick ( a friend from Rudy & Kelly we ran into) and my mom Bon Voyage

Lets go bowling!!!

That was my past week! Once I am all settled in and things have calmed down, I will write more when I can. Things to look forward to:  Shopping for a makeup kit, my new haircut, how to make a zebra fabric bullitin board!
