My Zodiac

This is spot on and makes me laugh!

Gemini are extremely independent. They will not be pinned down by anyone or any rules. They need to experience the world on their own. Change and freedom are extremely important to Gemini, they will never let anyone dictate them, they are extremely independent and freedom is essential to their mental well being. Gemini make very interesting and exciting friends. They like to leave their mark on everyone they meet. If you need any advice, Gemini is the one to ask. They are masters of communication and they can help you get what you need by helping you with persuasion and enthusiasm, and they give good advice too. A Gemini friend can fill you in with the latest gossip and if you love conversation, the Gemini delivers! They are very generous with their friends, they will spend lots of time with you and share everything with you. Even though Gemini is a social butterfly, they always need time for themselves and that should be respected. 

Gemini tends to disperse their energy on different tasks and not just focus on one thing thus leaving a trail of unfinished projects in their wake. If they were to focus their energy in one place, their cleverness and intelligence would allow them to complete their project with success and creativity. They can persuade and manipulate very well. They can easily justify any move they make and explain any action. Gemini have the ability to react instantly to situations, and as a result, they have a very nervous temperament. 

They can be compared to a wound up spring as they attempt to absorb everything they can about their surroundings at once. The fact that they enjoy various situations and people add to their nervousness and that means they are almost constantly wound up. However, if they experience boredom and have nothing to survey, they get the same emotions, the need for excitement and variety. This is the Gemini duality, constantly conflicting emotions in one spontaneous, excitable package. One downfall of Gemini is their superficiality. Instead of looking deep into a person's real qualities, Gemini will judge a person by the way they treat them. This can lead Gemini to have wrong impressions of people and can cause problems ion relationships. 

Gemini's can have feeling of discouragement and moodiness although they never allow this to be seen by anyone but their closest friends or family. Gemini usually want everyone to think that they are always happy and doing wonderfully and stress never affects them. Gemini people are many sided, quick both in the mind and physically. They are brimming with energy and vitality, they are clever with words. They are intelligent and very adaptable to every situation and every person. Gemini are curious and always want to know what's going on in the world around them. They are not one to sit back and watch the world go by, they want to be involved. 

This can sometimes make Gemini nosy, they do not mind their own business! This is because they really enjoy communicating, more so then most other astrology signs, they are the ultimate social butterfly. Gemini can talk and talk, but they have interesting things to say, their talk is not mindless babble. They have interesting opinions and thoughts on things and are not afraid to speak their mind. They are always in the know and are the one to see for the latest juicy gossip.

Sorry For The Neglect

I have been so busy this past week and a half it has been crazy! So sorry for the neglect! I went to Seattle for a 3 day hairdreams laserbeamer class so now I am certified with an extension gun which applies extensions up to 8 at a time! Just crazy!!! It allows me to apply them in the same amount of time it takes me for a color. I will post the before and after photos below! It was amazing! In another post ill put up my photos of the trip!

Oh, Pizzicato Sellwood

This really isnt for anyone or anything, and is more of a dear diary post... So I have been going to pizzicato in sellwood from around the age of 13ish when I would grab lunch there from the boys and girls club. I do have to say that the pizza is just amazing. When I started working at Ted Isaacs Salon I went there almost every work day. I knew the manager and the staff and everything was great! They are all smokers and take their break behind the salon which is where I would sit if it was nice out. So I would talk with them daily. The staff didn't change for a while until the manager had worked up, and there was a new manager, Nate. I loved having Nate and Josh as the managers there. I wrote pizzicato little cute love letters because they were just amazing and I always like to let people know when they are great! They even posted up one on their wall next to the register! The staff continued to stay the same with a few people dropping off. Well after a while I started making friends with a girl there. Super skinny, hipster cute, and really funny, I also did her hair. I loved her a whole lot. That was Tosha, who had moved away. :( At the same time she moved away, Nate moved up in the company, Josh had become gm for a different location and took a few other awesome employees with him. I was kind of broken hearted and bummed to be honest because I had a friendship built with all these people who moved away all at the same time! Of course there is room to make new friends... Than I saw that my love letter was taken down from next to the register. It if funny because I had a connection with that stupid piece of paper! When it was removed I was upset and to be honest I didn't come in for a few weeks after. Hahaha The new manager there is super cool though, I'm still getting used to the new staff who are really nice! I just miss the faces I saw every day. I'll have to make another love letter soon for them to hang on their wall... Hopefully it will stay this time...

Food, candy, and bunnies...

Yep today is Easter as everyone was announcing on Facebook. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOOOOW! Okay, yes I did... Anyways I have a collection of photos and a sweet little video which represent our day. When we woke up this morning we stuffed several plastic eggs with little gummy bears and lightly hid them around the home. Kerrigan is still only 2 so we needed to be easy on him. Here is the video of that.

After that we had gotten ready in our fancy Easter attire. I decided to try the natural wave thing with my hair which I haven't done in a while. It didn't go as planned so I decided to curl just my longer front piece. I wanted to feel pretty so I did my makeup up nice, and wore something that reminded me of Easter, so I chose my pink floral dress with the lace vest. It was eventful. We took Kerrigan to our friends place, and had a picnic while Kerrigan played at the park. Than had gone to the mother in laws house for burgers. I am so tired from my busy week! I am ready for bed!! But before I go, here is a little collage of my day. :) Hope your Easter went well!!!

I love not only my clients but their smiles!

I absolutely love how I have been attracting more clients like me! It is like catching up with old friends while making the look amazing! I know most say its all business, but it is so hard not talking about their life and telling them funny stories. I just love making people laugh!!! Anyways, here is a cute cut and color I did on one of my wonderful amazing clients! Happy Easter!
