Quicky Update

Still haven't done anything else off the list, but I'm not complaining. The red skirt and the candy corn dress don't really need to be done. I haven't been wearing hardly anything I've made lately. I've just been in a rut. Just wearing jeans and tshirts when I'm not in my work clothes. Its probably the stress of work and my boyfriend trying to get a new job and planning on going to school and...everything. Things have just been stressful. At least I did finish my Halloween costume (Well, 99% done, just need to attach the straps). It's my version of Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. And I put in a serious amount of work and got it all done in about a week and a half. It has a full sparkly yellow petticoat, a paneled mismatched fabric circle skirt and the top/dress is entirely pieced together from 6 different fabrics. No base fabric, just random chunks and pieces stitched together. I let the shape of the top come together organically. I did have general measurements to follow, but the final shape was done entirely by accident and it came out WONDERFULLY. The hem is crooked and longer in the back, with an off the shoulder neckline. With the petticoat the skirt is completely unnecessary. I ecstatic that it came out as well as it did! And I have a party to wear it too. I lost the cord to my camera so I had to order a battery charger, but once that gets here, I'll have my bf help me take pictures. And I'll take some pics of the test run for the make up.


I also went to Florida last month. We went to Disney World (Epcot, Magical Kingdom, Downtown Disney, Hollywood Studios) and Universal (Islands of Adventure) and it was amazing. So much walking...My feet were KILLING me. They hurt so bad. Mostly because I was stupid and didn't bring sneakers. But it was worth it. It was insane amounts of fun. It was kind of a surreal experience for me because it was something I never thought in a million years I'd be able to do. I was giddy the whole time and probably came off as high to bystanders. Harry Potter World was a bit disappointing, well, actually, Islands of Adventure was as a whole compared to Disney World. It was still fun, but nowhere NEAR as amazing as Disney World. The shops was teeny tiny, the actors were pretty sad and the whole atmosphere screamed "LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT ME!! AREN'T I AS COOL AS BIG BRO DISNEY?!" The comic book area was awesome though. The Wolverine and Cyclops were HILARIOUS. My bf wanted a pic with Wolverine and when Wolvy looked up and saw Cyclops 30 feet down the way, he panicked and little and ran after him like a little puppy. And all I could hear in my head was "Scotty-bear!!" in a Carol Channing voice. The huge ass Rouge was awesome too. The comic book stuff was what had me running around like an excited child. Seriously the best part for me. And the Wolverine just...words cannot describe the hilarious adorable-ness that was the Wolverine. It was like the Hello Kitty fluffy version of Wolverine. I want to hug him.

As for the school thing which ties into another thing. I want to go to school for aesthetics. That's facials and waxing for the most part. It just seems like the right fit. In the last year or so, I've really gotten in to make up. I've invested a lot of money into my make up too. And yet, that's not what I want to major in, it's just a side thing I really love. So if the school I chose has a make up class, I will probably take it. Which brings me to my next thing. I just spent $82 dollars on some really really amazing make up. Sugarpill. If you love bright colors, these eye shadows are amazing. The pigmentation is ridiculous. On a whim I tried to find a "bad review" of Sugarpill and came up with more proof of how amazing they are. I haven't used them or seen them in person, but with all the reviews out there, you really can trust in the quality of these. They are pricey for someone who has never paid more than a few dollars for any make up, but in the realm of high end make up, they are probably the best deal you will ever find. Plus, they have a true, eye-safe red, that according to a youtube make up guru I really trust, does not irritated people allergic to red coloring. Again, great value since the shadows are more the double the amount of say Mac or Make up Forever and are a way better price. Sorry, going on a bit of a tangent. Mostly because I've never really liked mattes, but with the sheer intensity and quality, I will be able to do some much more. I'm just trying to slowly build up my kit for at least eye make up. I don't have hardly any foundations. Just a mineral and a new cream one for myself. Maybe some day I'll splurge and get a foundation palette or something. I'll do a full review when my order comes in though.

On a more immediate note, I am currently on day 5 of a cold and on my second day I had to call out of work. I worked yesterday, but it wore out my throat too bad to go in today. Hopefully I can go in Friday. I've missed at least 1 day a week fro the last 3 weeks. And right now, my bf has yet to work at all this week. He's off work for sure until Friday, if not Monday. So there's that stress. But at least he had a promising job interview today. Crossing fingers.
