Wow, I haven't posted in 4 months!?

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in what seems like nearly forever. Many things have happened since my last post. First thing first, August 27, at 2am, our house caught fire. The damage was pretty bad, therefore we couldn't stay there any longer.
We were homeless for 2 weeks, living with other people, at a hotel, etc. until we found a nice big house just 5 minutes from where we used to live.
I finally got a job, (yay me!) working at a consignment store in town. I like it. It's pretty fun.
I got an iPhone 5! My first phone. Which I love it!! I didn't like the case it came with so the creative side took over and I covered the case I duct tape to make it more appealing. ^^
Anyways, I'm gonna try to post more, now that our life is back in track. :)

Officially a new Preschooler!!

My little brother, Salem (4), started preschool!! Yay, him! In honor of that, and his cuteness, I took the opportunity to take him out back and get some pics.
With some natural lighting (thanks to the cloudiness), a decent camera (a Nikon L22), and Picasa, they actually turned out pretty well. :)

My 18th Birthday with Worlds of Fun and Skillet!!!

Last week, I turned 18. My sister and 2 of our friends all went to Worlds of Fun and saw 2 of my favorite bands: Skillet and Red! We had such a great time.

Zebra stripes and Yellow!

My mom and I went shopping last Thursday. My favorite store is Playto's Closet. That is where we got this outfit at. Zebra and Yellow look great together!

Goodwill score!

Found these awesome boots at Goodwill last week!

Bottlecap necklace

So the other day, we watched a movie called "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" with Lindsay Lohan. In this movie, she had a beautiful necklace made out of 3 bottle caps and ball-chain.
I was determined! I had to make this necklace!! I went online in hopes to find a tutorial, but was unsuccessful.
Of course, me being as crafty as I am, and bound and determined as I was, just decided to make it! Be creative! Take changes! And that's just what I did. Here's the result. :)

Lace Braid

Here's a pic of the Lace Braid into low pigtails.

Cool little quote. :)

Part Braid Hairstyle

Braid to a bow

Super simple hairstyle. Just braid it back and pin it. The take a few small braids and twirl them around the main braid. Finish off with a bow or flower. :)

Lace braid hairstyle #2

Heres another hairstyle using the lace braid.

Lace braid hairstyle

Hair for church. It's just a simple lace braid from the front of her head where her part begins all the way down and around.

Hunger Games-Katniss Everdeen Braid Collage

Here's a Collage with pics me and my sister have found on Google. These are so we can look more at Katniss' braid.

Katniss Everdeen Braid

Hunger Games Inspired Outfit of the Day

 I don't know about you, but I am super excited about the Hunger Games!! My cousin told me about the books 2 weeks ago and told me about the movie that was coming out. I watched the trailer and now I dont know if I have the patience to wait!!!
I totally soaked up all 3 books in a week and a half (which is saying something because I don't read that fast unless I'm totally into the book).

Anyways, When I like someone in a movie or book, I try to base a look on them. Today, I did my hair, makeup and outfit inspired by her.

                                                              *****Hair*****

Here, you can see that her hair is in a messy sidebraid. Easy to do, right?

In this pic, you can see that it's a side-french-braid that goes down the back of her head. Still sounds easy, right?
It is easy once you get the hang of it but when you can't do a french braid on yourself, it's a little challenging!! ;)

After about 5 times of trying to do my hair and failing, arms tired and feeling like their about to fall off, I finally did it!! It doesn't look quite like the one in the pic, but I think it's pretty good considering.

Whoops, sorry. Forgot to flip it. :/

For a first time, I don't think it's all that bad. :)

Here's the Youtube Link that I learned this off of. If I didn't see the movie trailer, this is exactly how I would of pictured Katniss. Idk...my opinion. :D Hopefully she can help you, too!! :::: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe69KeDW9rw&list=FLYWm-3bclIUWva1QabzPalw&index=2&feature=plpp_video

Onto ***The Makeup***

You can see in this pic that she has like...no makeup on. Well, visible, anyway. I'm sure she has bronzer and foundation, but nothing that strikes out.

All I've put on is my normal base: Foundation, concealer, etc. Then added bronzer. Also, eye liner, not that she has it on, but because that's what I always do. Add a little bit of brown eyeshadow and mascara. That's it.

Finally, the ***Outfit***

You can see that she's wearing a simple outfit. Can't go hunting in the hunger games in a complicated outfit, now can she?
So, black shirt. Check. Jacket (except I didn't have a black one). Check.

Here's what I've come up with. Nothing too fancy. I wish I had a golden pin of some kind. That'd look even more awesome if it was the mockingjay pin, but those are way expensive...

Army green jacket, black shirt and a beige skirt from Catos.

Here's my jacket. I meant to button it up before  that pic up ^^there^^ but I forgot. SO...here, I've buttoned it up. >>>

I wish I had some shorter combat-looking boots, but these ol' trusty ones will have to do for now.  

Me one more time!

Hope y'all enjoyed this outfit of the day. And...hopefully yall love the Hunger Games as much as I did.
