have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air

what. a. day.

i may or may not be switching hair schools. its true. i'm currently going to "marinello school of beauty". and i hope i dont offend anyone when i say this (remember, that its my bloggy woggy and my "online journal". so i do what i want!) but i honestly dont know what i even chose marinello. it kind of was just.. there. nestled in the back yard of raintree. but dreading going to school and contemplating about jumping into the river when i walked across the bridge that led me to school everyday, seemed a little too wild for me. so when one of my fellow little ladies told me she was switching schools i got all kinds bushy tailed. so i decided to check it out for myself and i made myself an appointment with AVEDA.

i hope you all have an extra pair of pants because you might pee yourself when i tell you how amazing aveda is. lets begin.

you only go to school three days a week, 10 hour shifts! i would go monday, wednesday, and friday. which means i could get a job. which equals extra cash. my kind of talking...
aveda gives back. this year the provo campus raised $15,000 to give kids in need a christmas. charity is one of their top priorities.
everything is either recycled or organic. (i dont think anyone understand how excited this world friendly ginger was to hear that. i had to hold back giggles.) every product is 98%-99% organic, and almost the entire salon and school is made from recycled materials.
the tuition was cheaper! by $5,000 to be exact. pocket change, i know.
they have a study abroad program! whaaaaa??? BELIEVE IT. this year they're going to india for a month! i will totally go and bust out some "jai ho" on those little indians.
their shampoo bowls have a message chair on them. i know you can resist yourself a message. you're reaching for those new pants, aren't you? well. hold on before you need to grab a third.
they offer complementary yoga and pilates three times a week, which! you get hours for going to.
all the curriculum, homework, methods, lessons, arent in thick heavy books. THEY'RE ON AN IPAD. oh yeah, they went there. the ipad is included in your fee's, and you get to keep it :)
you get a cute little bag, water bottle, and tee shirt when you sign up.
you participate in two fashion shows a year, where you do hair and a makeup.
an instructor this year might even go to fashion week in new york, and will take students with her to do hair and makeup.
aveda works with a model agency, where you can hand pick your own model to perform hair and makeup on. oh, and you get to be in charge of wardrobe as well. towards the end of your year a professional photographer comes in to take pictures of your work for your profolio. and i can promise you, the photos you will receive will be nothing more then amazing.
have i blown your mind yet?

i called my mom as soon as i left that place i like to call hair heaven, and it felt so nice to finally be excited about SCHOOL, of all things. my nutshell of an idea had grew into an entire tree. i'm going to break the news to marinello tomorrow. and hopefully they'll understand that its not me, its them.


after that was all done, i somehow ended up at the mall... weird.
i'm a forever21holic. i'll admit it. they get me everytime. since i can only wear black to school i need to find some way to make myself not look like a devil worshiper. i'm in love with lace right now. but, my latest obsession is pearls. i cant get enough. what comes best after spending time at the mall? ZUPAS :) i made a quick run, grabbed me and my sister some soup and salads, and started the drive back to lehi.

i then was attacked on the freeway. my front left tire was annihilated by a pothole, and i literally thought for a second i was being bombed. i was in the third left lane, minding my own bidnis, and the next thing i know i slip into the grand canyon and black rubber starts flying everywhere. and then my favorite part. an earthquake. the car is having a seizure. shaking back and forth, as i'm trying to get to the shoulder on three wheels. then a tsunami. on my face. i've never blown a tire while driving, let alone on a freeway, and its definitely earned its spot in my top ten scariest moments. and the fact that it wasnt my car, but my lovely sisters, who let me barrow it for the morning made me feel like scum. thank goodness for forgiving sisters, and brother-in-laws of brother-in-laws, that will drop everything they're doing to come and fix a flat tire in the snow.

me and steph laughed it off once i got back to her house. moms reaction of "you hit a light pole?!" instead of..."i hit a pothole." got us good. mason woke up from his nap, and there is nothing more that i love than playing with a baby once they've woken up from a nap. especially if that baby is my favorite nephew mason. his new thing is to stick his tongue out, and keep it out. it's so long i wouldnt doubt it if he could pin it down with his knee while he's crawling. oh, and he can crawl up the stairs now. impressed? i am.

walmart was a wild tonight. when me and stephanie went to grab a cart we were SOL, not a cart in sight. we eventually found one and ended up spending two and a half hours of our life that we'll never get back in that bloody store. i'm going to become a college chef, so i'm more then greatful for all the new groceries overflowing my pantry. pulled pork here i come! (thanks for the crock pot mom)

i took advantage of all the homemade meals when i was home. you bet i had seconds, or thirds... but who's counting right? coming back to provo i felt obese. there probably was no pothole and my fat self just busted the car up on its own. i had just bought all the food i could at walmart. and now stephanie wants to stop at krispy kreme before she takes me home... and she ends up buying me my own half a dozen. she's trying to kill me i think. but, that originally galzed krispy kreme was so delicious.. thanks steph.

i finally made it back to apartment 135. i unpacked, and put the new down comforter on my concrete bed. pretty sure my bed is at least 3 feet taller, and feels like a cloud. thank you again mom. me and the roomie had a giggle and bash fest as we told eachother of our breaks, and i made muffins for breakfast tomorrow.

my day might of gotten hectic and messy at one point, but as things settled down and i look back at it now, today was stunning....just like throwing a fistful of glitter in the air.

gosh.

that was incredibly cheesy.

it's good to be back...
