Crazy Lady with a shaved head!

Arent these Lilies so beautiful??? I am in love with color this summer and for some reason, I have switched from blue to orange....lol I am letting the blue fade out of my hair and gonna be changing my hair yet again. lol Here is what I practiced on my babydoll and I am gonna do this next:

so many different colors: Red Inkworks, Yellow Inkworks, Golden Brown and Violet red!

Here is the other side!

My cousin bartends at a mexican restaurant nearby and the staff told her that her family came to visit, and they told her "the crazy lady with the shaved head" came by! lol That is so funny! But I dont care, I love being remembered for fashion and hair!

I am inspired by these lilies! I will have to make another lily paining soon  but after I get some more paint!

I hope you are inspired by the nature around you! Have a wonderful day!

Memorial Day!

Man, oh man, oh man.

The month of May is already almost over! The past week has been busy and went by with a blink of an eye! First off, Happy Memorial Day to everyone! This is a time to celebrate our military for their sacrifice and hard work. I come from a military family and have served in the US Army and I have a huge amount of PRIDE from serving and being an American! I went into the army at 17 years old in 2001. Here are some pics I found from basic training. I tried to find some pics of when I was in Iraq in 2005, but I cannot find them :(

thats me on the far right! I was only 18!

Sometimes I miss the army, but at other times I do not. I wouldnt be able to be with my family as much and I wouldnt be able to pursue what I love: fashion, art and beauty! Today has been a stay at home day, I finished cleaning my front living room, which I am using as a lil "studio" since my husband took over the bedroom to play Black Ops all the time! lol

This is Bella, in the back yard on this beautiful day!

and Matti watering the flowers!

I have a few new jobs, along with some side jobs I need to do on the way, such as designing a tatoo for a few friends, painting some new artwork for a Hookah Bar, and coming up with an airbrush design for a motorcycle! Not to mention, I need to get some cards made and get my kids some summer clothes!

Whew, I almost feel like kandee johnson but with only 2 kids! lol I dont know how she does it!

Beach Movie Bistro

While looking up the showtimes for the New Pirates of the Carribean Stranger Tides, I came across a new theater: The Beach Movie Bistro! Off of laskin rd in Virginia Beach! This theater was once used years ago, but became ran down and abandoned until now!  They just opened their doors on Friday Night! And as a special for their opening weekend, they sold drinks and popcorn for $1.

I was so excited to go and was jumping around like a lil kid(that even Jermie kept calling me a nerd) hahaha  We got there and I gotta say, I was really feeling the atmosphere and ambiance of the place! There is a bar when you walk in to the left that serves beer, wine and other special drinks for those who want to indulge in the spirits. The prices we decent, we paid $15 for both of us to watch the movies. We  got there 10 minutes prior to the showing, so we missed final call to order inside the theater, so we had to order at the bar, I ordered the chicken tender platter.....which is OMG soooooo good! Jermie had the cheeseburger sliders!

Here is the menu!

The seating is nice, the seats are super comfy! New seats! and in between two seats there are small tables for placing your food onto. There is also stadium seating (with tables) and plenty of leg room! The surround systems are brand new too and the sound was amazing! Restrooms were great too!

Overall, we had a great experience, and I just wanted to be a GEEK and review it, and just to tell yall,, go check it out, its perfect for a date or for the family to all go out and the best part is they show new movies and its decent prices!

Hope you enjoyed my sweets! Have a beautiful evening!

Puttin out fires

A busy day for a sunday which started out eating Golden Corral with a girl from school before we went in to be makeup models for our learning leaders certification. It was only for a couple of hours but we all got to get a makeover on our eyes, called the "Five minute mini makeover". 

After that, Jermie and I were on our way to the beach so him and the guys could play some football and we noticed a big, black cloud of smoke, so we followed it and it turned out that a house had caught fire and when we pulled up, it didnt seem like anyone had called the fire department, so we called it in and within minutes police and the the fire squad was on scene. Luckily, the family and pets got out of the house safely!

 I felt so bad for the mother, she was crying so hard,  I can only imagine what that is like to feel so helpless and watch your home go up in flames. I started crying with her and I gave her a hug and told her I hope everything is ok. I have had a scary grease fire in an old apartment, and that was enough to shake me up.  We went by again and the whole side is burned. We think that it was the dryer because jermie had gone inside the house and the father had just ran out and said it was the utility room.

My prayers go out to that family!

Jungle Fever

Last night, we all went down to the beach for some good ol' fashioned miniature golf fun! Its been a while since any of us have gone and its the first time all of us have gone together! Before heading out to play, we grabbed dinner at None other than "Five Guys and Fries" (which I talk about alot). A new location has just been opened a week ago in the Hilltop area (if youre familiar with Virginia Beach Area)
And they are about to open one not too far away from where I live (in walking distance)

Then after downing delish burgers and fries, went to Jungle Golf where we all channeled our inner pro golfer for Hole in Ones...Matti got two hole in ones back to back!!!!! I was so happy for him and he was proud of himself too! I didnt do too bad withtwo hole in ones myself and Jermie got one. We even had time to play some videos games in the arcade. Matti wanted to do racing cars and motorcycle games so me and him got to ride off together on some fast courses....lol

Now, off to write another blog of what we did today!

It would be an Honor

Good evening my sweets! I hope everyones day has been good! As for me, today has been really productive, I had alot of energy and I hit the ground running this morning, getting 11 boxes signed off on my worksheet for Rudy & Kelly Paul Mitchell.

I have been really motivated also to try my best to complete the Honors Graduate Packet.  It has a few different categories such as cutting, texture, color and makeup. Each section has a list of things you must complete and you take alot of pictures of "before"  and "after", but I want to graduate from this school with more to show than a certificate. I want Honor's!

In make up class, we learned different eyeliner techniques (which I am thinking about posting a video or blog on) and also how to apply false eyelashes! Here is a picture of some cool things you can do with lashes:
