M Star Motel

2010-02-11T13:12:00.000-08:00

Allie and I made our way up to Provo this week, something we both didn't expect to do. Allie had to take her State Board test up north, since the St. Geo's was booked out for the entire month of February. We both have a budget that consists of no money, so our only obvious choice was to spend nothing. Al's mom gave us 60 bucks to spend on a hotel for the night, and trying to find one within that range that allowed dogs was nearly impossible. After searching online in a Super 8 parking lot (They charged a whopping 80 bucks for a Tuesday night) we found a single star rated hotel called "M Star". I got on the phone and made reservations, then headed over.

Shortly after, I came to an understanding of why it was only rated one star. The doors had what the room numbers sharpied on, beds smelt of unclean skin and drugs, walls dirty, a tv with only two channels, and instead of having a window it was a bolted shut sliding glass door. Needless to say, we had a great adventure.

Might I add that gestimating, we had about 3 hours of sleep, because you could hear the people above us pacing, and Peach didn't like the idea of them doing that so she barked the entire night.

I need to get the pictures off of Allies camera, but when I do, you will not be disappointed.

2010 Goals

2010-02-05T22:28:00.001-08:00

On the top of my "To Do" list for the past month and a half was to make goals for 2010. I do in fact realize that it is 2010, but I am a thinker, so it took me a while to decide on what I want to focus on. The wall i've been running into the past couple years is that I really hate making goals and not completing them. I actually HAVE TO COMPLETE THEM, or i get this weird feeling in my heart... kinda like it stops.

So as I was cleaning my room (which has been the fifth time this week) I came up with a list. Overall they seem easy to complete, but if I let life get in the way It wont be. I am sending this out to the Universe, and please PLEASE good 'ol soul of mine, let me complete this list.

Here it goes..

TWENTYTEN Goals

* Write in Livejournal/ Journal at LEAST every other day.
* Read "Book of Mormon.
* Save Money.
* Start Running.
* Work on technical skills (hair).
* PTMS CORPORATE!
* Read a book a month, and write about it.
*Drink more water!
*Make a budget and stick to it!

Nothing really exciting has been happening recently... BUT THIS!!!

* Got a full time position at Fantastic Sams

* Went and had an awesome lunch with Mom and Mary Anne!

* Held Chloe for the first time!!! AND met Brandi's baby (in the womb of course..)

* Learned how to ichat, and share music with the same household.

Other then that, life has been boring. To make this post worth it, here is a picture of my favorite snowboarder Danny Davis.

beauty tips
by audrey hepburn

for lovely eyes
seek out the good in people

for a slim figure
share your food with the hungry

for beautiful hair
let a child run their fingers through it once a day

for poise
walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone

people, even more then things have to be restored, renewed, revised, reclaimed and redeemed. never throw out anybody.

remember: if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. as you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. one for helping yourself and one foe helping others.

6 oz package of butterscotch chips

3 oz can of chow mien noodles

melt chips, mix in peanut butter. remove from heat, add marshmallows and noodles. drop on wax sheet.

Dearest Mary Anne.

Thank you very much for fixing my blog. Somehow i managed to screw it up. i think i hurt my blogs feelings when I yelled at it, and called it names. I know i may be stubborn at times, by thinking I don't need your help doing things; in all actuality I do need your help. You are an amazing sister.

And basically what I am trying to say is you rock.

2009-10-14T13:37:00.000-07:00

So I haven't posted anything for a while, and there has been a lot of things going on in my life. I got this idea to post some things that i just LOVE and where to purchase them, instead of just posting pictures of PMTS. Let's see how this goes.

I bite my lips when I get nervous, irritated, sad, and happy. Basically I bite my lips constantly. They were in really bad condition, and a Make-up Artist came to PMTS and gave me this lip conditioner. I love it because it doesn't feel waxy, it is easy to apply, and it comes in different shades. I am a lipstick girl, so i don't feel out of place when i wear this instead. Ir is $14.50 and lasts forever! fuchsia/span>

A couple years back I was walking around Sephora looking for an eyelash curler. Originally I wanted a MAC one, but there wasn't a MAC in that town. I asked a sales rep which eyelash curler she had recommended. The lady got really excited, ran across the store and brought me back the Shu Uemura. She told me it was made for Asian eyelashes (which are almost impossible to curl) and it was super cheap. I think I paid like $8, or something. That lady was totally right. My eyelashes stay curled all day long, and this thing is fool proof. I mean my little brother can curl his lashes with this baby. A lot of women are scared of eyelash curlers because they think they will cut off their eyelashes, and I have never had a problem.

The price has gone up quite a bit, but it is well worth the money, and they last a couple years.

eyelash curler here we come!

I was going to purchase this for myself for my graduation present, but I just cant spend the money on it yet, I am being quite stingy, since I want to move to Seattle. Marc Jacobs has amazing taste in perfume, and this one exceeds my expectations. It smells like a flower field that got attacked by glitter loving aliens.

I have always been a St. Ive's girl. Its cheap, exfoliates. and it is cheap. My friends face had cleared up quite a bit, and stress pimples where popping up out of now where on mine. I asked her what she was using, and she highly recommended this. My face has never been this clear before, and I have only been using this for a couple weeks. My favorite thing about this product is that it tingles, and it is highly condensed. A little goes a long way. I think I paid about 8 bucks.

So anyone who knows me, knows that I have three really big addictions. Hand soap, Pens, Paul Mitchell stuff. It is really hard for me not to by any of these things when I walk into a store. I really like the Method hand soap because it is gentle on your skin and it is gentle on environment. I love the lavender one. It smells fantastic! You can purchase this at Target for $2.99. They also have awesome cleaning supplies.

I LOVE PENS! I could possible consider it a pen collection. Sharpie Pens rock my world. I can never keep track of these suckers, people steal these babies. The color is amazing, and they do not smear, which i just love, since I hold things funny. They run about $1.25 a piece.

My Christmas break in California!!

2008-12-27T17:23:00.000-08:00

California Christmas! I think the best part of the trip was going to Mammoth. I have never been in snow deeper then 3 inches, so it was a totally rad. I would love to spend more time up there.

This morning while eating cereal, a brilliant idea popped into my head. SNOWMAN! We had about 2 inches of snow on the ground this morning. A rare specialty Mother Nature provides us Southern Utahns. I mentioned my thought to Mom and Dad Trunnell and they thought it was a marvelous idea as well. Mom woke up Mary Anne and we started creating magic. The bonus of the day is that No one works or goes to school today! SURPRISE!

Good morning Saint George!

The beginning of life.

Look at that beautiful face..

I call him Jose.

This is Fred. He is a senior citizen from Florida. We are totally buddies. Im even letting him chill out in the lawn this morning.

Oh Joy!

Me= Gross Chucky...eeeew.
Rachel= Pretty witch.
Oh the things we learn at Paul Mitchell.
Thanks Rachel for the pictures.

So... I haven't really updated... have I?

2008-10-10T19:44:00.001-07:00

Umm... yeah seems like a long time since I last wrote which is weird mostly because that is true. I can do a really long update... but I am not. So lets make it: short, simple, interesting and to the point. Cool beans?

I have been a "future professional" for a number of weeks. I totally aced my floor and written test to get out of C.O.R.E (I am just as surprised as you are) and now I am on the floor at the expense of Saint George Utahns. I am grateful everyday that I am able to go to this school, and feel extremely blessed at all the people I have been in contact with. There are some truly amazing humans that attend the school as well. One of which I have become extremely close with. We are the same, but complete opposite (if that makes any sense) and we kinda keep each other in check. I did two awesome men's haircuts (the only ones that I have done) I am am gradually getting better.

I seriously wish for everyone to get the education that I have been getting. Their education system blows my mind. Whomever sat down and planned it out, is absolutely amazing. Even strangers on the street know how stoked I am about the school.

Did I mention somewhere that I am a red head? Sam and I did it yesterday. It ruled. She did amazing.

A lot of future professionals have been coming up and asking when I will write my memoir. Maybe I should start now? I have an idea of what I want to write. Maybe I will make a private blog and start sorting it out.

It will be absolutely amazing.

And On my final note I would like to take a second to send a few words out to the universe

I am:

amazing
optimistic
organic
original
a true hippie

and I am happy.

Things change a lot in two years.

Today was the day. I finally started school. Cosmetology school that is. It was super exciting. I really couldn't control the excitement surging through my veins. It was like a adrenalin rush the entire day. DID I MENTION I GOT A KIT! That thing was amazing! It had everything I girl could ever dream about. I have a really small class, which is nice, and a amazing teacher named Meribeth. Today was all about rules, regulations and what they/we should expect. I have some "homeplay" to finish up BUT hopefully I can really get a good blog in.

First Blog

2008-07-03T18:27:00.000-07:00

Obviously from the title this would be my first blog on this website. I have many other blogs, but my sister in law and her family just love their blogspots, so I decided to try this shindig out.
