Avril Lavigne

I'm sitting here, finishing my iced coffee and watching "Teen Mom" [say whatever, I like it.] I've been calling places I've had interviews and places that may be hiring for the past hour.

I am about ready to call it quits!

This is really frustrating. Going to interviews, thinking you're doing great then never getting a call back. I really want to go back to school - another makeup course - once some of my OSAP is paid down. [I have OSAP from a previous college course.] I'm not even sure if I can put it on OSAP ... but it is almost 3,000$ because I want to take 2 courses. There's a regular course that has lots of info, but then there's the advanced course. Both are awesome and I'm waiting to hear back to find out.

My interview Monday was with - hopefully - a makeup counter. I'm somewhat pushing for Clinique but I suppose I'd go with anything at this rate. I just know Clinique better [actually, I know MAC nd Sephora best but at Clinqiue is #3]

- 2 hours later -

This is usually what happens. I start a blog then disappear for some reason. This time I had to go clean stuff or else I couldn't think. So in addition to what I mentioned earlier about the makeup course. The major course - which is a hefty price - is probably something I'll take first. Neither do OSAP but the bigger course will give me an idea if I want to dish out the money for the 2nd course. Plus I'll get the kit, which is why it's so pricey. My plan is for September 2012 because it's such a huge price. Besides, I know for a few months it'll be complicated money-wise when I move because Matt has 4 months of school left [then graduated! Yay!] so I'll just save what I can, pay down what OSAP I can also and just keep reminding myself that he's got a job and school.

We already talked about this and we know we've got sacrifices to make while he's in school. Such as we're not getting cable. We may splurge for netflicks but not right away. We need internet for his school and so we don't lose our minds, so we'll be able to watch shows through that if we need to.

Little New, Little Old, Little Nothing?

Hey everyone!

I've had so many interviews lately [2 different salons and one bankruptcy/debt company] and I'm pretty hopeful something will come up. It has to really, I'm just tired of being home all the time and not being able to afford anything.

Once I get a job, then we can start getting set up for moving and hopefully cut a deal nd get a mid-month move in. I don't know but it's hopeful.


We literally have almost everything. Couches, tv, bed, table, etc. Between both sides of the family. His mum is giving us a wok .... which honestly I'm stoked to make stir-fries. I'm not big on cooking now but I'm willing to try :D


Speaking of family, we're actually going to his dad's place this weekend. He lives a bit out of the city and between his hours and Matt's hours, things weren't making sense to go. Now keep in mind that I am a city girl through-and-through, but a lot of my family is from the country. So this weekend will be interesting.




I'm planning on doing a video early next week for a smokey look that doesn't include black shadow. It'll have probably a little black if I do eye liner but the idea is more of a day to night idea. Like if you're going out after work and wanna wear a neat shadow. Well you'll get it when you see it.


I'll keep everyone posted!

FlashBack Tuesday Plus Video nd Weekend Update!!!

Hey everyone!

I had an amazing weekend at my bestie's place - Charlene. She lives abt 45mins away nd honestly, i see her less than I like :[ Her hubby came to pick me up on Friday. We had McD's for dinner nd he ended up going out so her nd i just chilled nd chatted. We planned on going for coffee with her friends but he didn't get home till late, so we gave up on that idea.

Saturday we chilled, her neighbours came over, then drama happened with the kids. Anyways aft the neighbours left, we dropped C's oldest son [Seth - 3yrs old] at his nanny's place. C nd i came back, did our makeup nd headed out. C's hubby Jamie's sister - April was having people come over before bar.





That's the group of us. April, Shannon, Ashley, me nd C is in front.



We went out to the bar they usually go to nd it's so good! When you walk in there's places to just sit nd drink, then the bar nd then at the back is the dance area with coloured lights nd tables/booths. Small towns bring around the funniest people! It was fun. C kept having to sit down cuz her feet hurt - 5 1/2 inch heeled boots that i got her for xmas - but we're people who are up so much. The biggest difference is that i'm use to wearing heels nd she's not. Oh well! At least they're kinda broken in for her now. She did give me a great idea for an outfit tho - i wore the boots with nylons nd skirt, she wore it with skinny jeans.

Anyways so the bar was fun. Sunday there was no hangover. More dry mouth than anything but that's pretty normal.

Came home Sunday nd my parents had moved my room around. Now there's a giant mess.



Now to my FlashBack thing.
I change my hair often [like .... really often] nd most people can't keep up. This will be in no specific order but i'm going to TRY to keep it from oldest to newest!

TAG plus update! [HANDS UP!]

So before i get to the tag [below] just wanna do a quick update.

I'm currently on a mad weight loss kick. I find i'm eating more empty-carb foods that really aren't good for me. I have a goal nd it's to drop one pant size. I'm not a huge person but i find pants easier nd i'm currently enjoying to fact that my current pants don't try to kill me anymore. I've lost some weight recently - more like excess fat that my body didn't really need, like that 'muffin top' some girls have - but i got pants recently that are for summer. Tone down, shape up, eat better, be healthier. I get sick a lot, maybe this will help?

I finished my course.
100% on my practical
80% on my exam
70% on portfolio - i knew that mark wud drag everything down becuz i wasn't 100% happy with my portfolio!!
GRAND TOTAL OF:
83% average!

I've missed makeup counters doing their hiring, so i'm kinda pissed about that. Oh well, pretty soon i'll get my MAC discount nd all will be good.


I'm doing a tutorial on sunday using today's eyeshadow, becuz i got Urban Decay's 24/7 Jackpot eyeliners nd needed an excuse to test out 2 colours. Hahaha! Keep an eye out for that. I'm also doing a haul soon [you'll see all the liners i got] but probably also on Sunday. Saturday there's a swap going on nd i'll show what i got from that.
