Getting Motivated

I have been thinking lately how much I truly love what I do! I am determined to bring in new clients in for myself at my salon. I love making people feel good about themselves and talking to people, so I am going to advertise myself more. I am going to talk about what I do more to people and hand out cards. And get a real sense for what people want! I have decided on new specials and services I want to do. My special for the holidays is with any color receive a free designers cut, what a bargain since everyone wants to look great for all of the party's they might be going too. My new service I want to start doing, because it's great for the client and is fun to do is hair extensions. I am talking mostly about highlights or lowlights or some fun color someone wants in their hair; this you can do with hair extensions. It will save your hair a lot of hassle instead of bleaching it or coming to get it foiled in all the time. You will have healthier hair and it will look better because you haven't damaged it but you still have the color you wanted! Also another service I strongly advise is to come in and get foot soaks this winter. It is the most wonderful thing you will ever experience, I will soak your feet in Chymia powder that relives you of pain and makes your feet feel wonderful afterwards! You can come in and get one and relax in our spa atmoshpere sipping on some hot coco :) I am so excited to get started at the salon this holiday season, and hopefully will get to meet new people.

Having Fun on Halloween

Halloween is over and I hope everyone had a good one :) My weekend went by very well. We had a family Halloween party on Friday which was super fun! We had tons of games and some great food. Then, on Saturday I got all gussyed up for my friends Halloween party, which was a lot of fun too! I wore a formal dress with a pretty mask and some ballroom gloves. Before I went to the party we had over my family for some yummy chili and hot cider. I handed out candy this year, because of my dad's accident he couldn't. It was hard for him to not cuz Halloween is one of his favorite holidays! But I had a good time seeing all of the cute kids in their costumes. It was also kind of good for me to hand out candy, because between our house and my neighbors the kids were pretty scared until they saw me I guess...haha all of the kids were calling me a princess. So I was the princess in the middle of all the scariness, they would just stare at me and not look at anything else...haha :) Our neighbors did an awesome job! They had their cousins come over to scare kids, they were running up and down the street with their chainsaws. One guy was really creepy, he was dragging a shovel and banging it everywhere. So much fun can't wait until next year! Now that Halloween is over though I am way excited for the Christmas season. Yesterday I took down all of our Halloween outdoor decorations and got the yard all ready for the putting up of Christmas. I know that all of you are probably saying that it is still to early, but we have so much Christmas decorations that it takes pretty much all of November to put them up. Our tradition that we do on Thanksgiving is the turning on of all the Christmas decorations. So busy busy busy it's going to be until then :)

Loving Life

I have been thinking a lot about my life lately. Thinking over all of the little things in my life, and the path I am on right now. Living at home; starting my life with my two jobs doing what I love; meeting new people everyday building my clientele. My friends that I have and how great they are to me and making me feel welcomed and comfortable; having them there to talk to and to run away to. My family on how supportive they are to me and always being beside me. I have really realized that I am so lucky in my life! I am so grateful for all that happens in my life and the people in it. I am so lucky that I have people who love me for me which makes me not afraid to show off my true colors. I have learned so much from the people in my life; my co-workers, friends, and family members. I'm also so excited for my future! Thinking of when I can start a family and spending it with the one person who will always be there and who I will love and be my best friend! This might all sound a little cheesy, but I just want you all to know how grateful I am to all of you and that I love you all! I can honestly say that I love my life!

The Halloween House

We are finally all done with decorating! Here on some pictures of the outside; I still need to take some of the inside :) Enjoy!

Getting Creative

Lately I have been getting things ready for events that I have coming up, and I have been getting kind of crafty. I've all of a sudden have had the ambition to just make things from scratch. I use to scrapbook when I was younger with my sister and loved it. I have collected a few materials you use for scrap booking over the years, but I fell out of it for awhile. Until I joined the FCCLA club at Roy High. I became the historian and made a scrapbook of the whole school year and started to get into it. But then I still felt like it took to long and I just never had time. Well, the other day I was going to start to print off my invitations to my open house at Me Salon, and the color ran out of my printer. So, I printed it in black and white and still wanted to give it some color. I took out all of my scrap booking materials and found such cute things! I started to make my own invitations by hand for it. It wasn't much, but it looked cute and made it fun to go and show everyone. Then, last night I stayed up late making again invitations for a different party. My sister is putting on a Halloween party and I volunteered to make invitations to our family members. I really did more of the scarp booking thing with these ones! They are way cute and I got so ambitious that I made two different kinds of invites for the same event! I think I have something, I can't stop!....haha I will try to take pictures of them so you guys can see my craziness!
