Piedmont Boutique Earrings
So I live in the Bay Area, therefore, I travel around the Bay a lot. Hot spot I love to go to...Haight Street. I love the thrift stores, boutiques, and accessories shops! One of them that I love to go to is called Piedmont Boutique. They have unique, crazy, out there, affordable (cheap), accessories and costumes. All the earrings in my video cost either $2, $4, and $8. One problem with them is that you have to be careful with them because they are cheap. My friend's flower earring's (like the ones shown in this video, $4 each) metal thing that you put in your ear broke off. Simple solution: Create a ring out of it! Purchase some napkin holder rings at Michael's, glue two rings on top of one another so that you have a thicker base to adhere the flower to. And there you have it! I'm planning to buy a lot more of the flower earrings because there are so many different colors. I'll probably break one on purpose so that I can show you guys how the ring would look like. Yeah! I think I just might do such a thing =)

Jesse's Girl Cosmetics
Here are my Jesse's Girl Eye Dust shadows I bought at Rite Aid for $3.99 each:
Deanna did Tracy and my make up using these colors (along with my Yogurt NYX jumbo pencil for the base).
If you wanna know what she did and what she used, go to her blog at artisticbeautybydeanna.blogspot.com and ask her =)

DIY: Sisterhood of The Traveling ......
So about two weeks ago my good friend Deanna moved to Hawaii, leaving my other good friend Tracy and I behind =( but she has good reasons to go to Hawaii. I met Tracy in my high school orientation and we clicked ever since. I met Deanna at Tracy's birthday party and we clicked ever since (plus we lived sooooooo close by! Like 4 blocks away!). We all became so so so so close like SISTERS. I love 'em =)
So the day before she left (Aug. 17) we got together and made our "Sisterhood of The Traveling Scrapbook." Similar to the movie "Sisterhood of the traveling Pants," we each get the Scrapbook, add whatever we want (pictures, poems, diary entries, quotes, WHATEVER YOU LIKE!), then send it off to the next person. That way we stay in touch in a more PERSONAL manner. Facebook, AIM, Myspace, E-mail, phone calls, is all so IMPERSONAL. I mean, we still do all those things, too, but this Scrapbook is a way of having something shared and personal. You get me?!
So the materials you need are really up to you. You can do a traveling pants thing instead of a Scrapbook, or a video camera, or whatever! For our Scrapbook, though, we used a plain scrapbook from Michael's Craft store, glue sticks, stickers, scrapbook paper, pictures of us, magazine quotes and pictures...so far. We have our whole Sophomore year in College to fill it up with randomness of things! Here are the pictures of us just starting to get it decorated:
So that's our cover of the Scrapbook. I pasted on a cute little poem/story I found online by Laurel Atherton. It was originally titled, "The Story of Two Very Different Sisters" but then I changed it and modified the poem into "The Story of Three Very Different Sisters." I love it! Here it is:
The Story of Three Very
Different Sisters
Two live here, one lives there. One is a little taller than the others. Three different colors of hair, three different outlooks on life, three very different views from their windows. All three have different tomorrows ahead. Each is unique in so many ways. Each has her own story, with all the busy things going on in the present. Each has a separate destination and a distinctly different path to get there. But...
For all the things that might be different and unique about them... these three sisters will always share so much. They will always be the best of family and friends, entwined together, through all the days of their lives. Their love will always be very special: gentle and joyful when it can be, strong and giving when it needs to be, reminding them, no matter how different their stories turn out... they share the incredibly precious gift of being "sisters." And when you think of some of the best things this world has to offer, a blessing like that is really... what it's all about.
~Laurel Atherton
I also added a poem by Maya Angelou called, "Phenomenal Woman." Google it! It's so empowering. I read it when I'm down, and happy too, and gives me so much pride, strength, and empowerment.
If you guys have any other ideas of a traveling ____(whatever)____ comment me and tell me! I would love to know what other ideas are out there that can be shared in this TRAVELING manner =)

Pink Cherry
Guess what I did today? I got a Brazilian wax! OMG first time, too. I always wanted to get one done but I was too scared of the pain. My friend got a Brazilian done months ago so I asked her where she got hers done. I'm not about to go to a cheap looking place where the person may not even know what they're doing. So she recommended a little spa room called PINK CHERRY(hahaha, BRAZILIAN wax---PINK CHERRY...get it?! LoL). It's this little room located within a Salon. She made the room look like a relaxing spa with calm music playing in the background.
The lady, her name is Ennee, was sooooo super nice! I told her that this was my first time (I was OH SO FRICKIN NERVOUS like you wouldn't believe) but she made me feel comfortable. Before I went to Pink Cherry I was really thinking about backing out and not doing it, but then I went online and read reviews on Pink Cherry. There were soooo many people who rated the place and Ennee with FIVE STARS. Here's a link to the Pink Cherry's Website (http://www.pinkcherryspa.com) and here's a link to the all the reviews (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pink-cherry-spa-san-bruno). After reading these reviews, I felt more at ease and ready to get this shit over with!
For those of you who have never gotten a Brazilian wax ever and is wondering if it hurt--yes, of course it did. But the pain was tolerable. I imagined it to be OH SO FRICKIN PAINFUL, but it wasn't as bad as I imagined. She did it so quick and made me feel so comfortable. If you ever decide to get a Brazilian wax done, first ask around (friends and family) for any recommendations, then YELP/review it. Pink Cherry was awesome because it only cost me $40 rather than $60-70 and she gave me a free face cream sample that will last me for 10 days (she does waxing and facials and skin treatments. she's awesome!).

Free/Cheap Dates
There are so MANY endless things that you and your significant other can do together.
My boyfriend, Miguel, and I have been together for almost 4 years (4 years on August 23rd) and sooooo many people have asked us how the heck do we stay together for that long. To be honest, we are never bored when we're together (even on the phone)! But there are times when we do want to do something new so that our relationship and our dates don't feel so damn routine. We don't want to constantly be spending money, especially with how the economy is now, so here are some suggestions that you and your significant other can do.
1. Cook Together
I have so many magazines that have different recipes in them that I tear out and keep in a folder so that I can make them with Miguel and/or my friends! Go online and find a recipe from your favorite restaurant/chef. Try foodnetwork.com, copykat.com, or recipegoldmine.com. Ask you mom, grandma, his mom, his grandma--anyone really--for recipes for you two to make.
2. Play games at home
Invite him over to play games--cards (strip poker *hee hee*), Wii, Xbox, twister, Mad Gab, Uno, wrestle, tickle fights, WHATEVER! The options are endless! Miguel and I play games on the Wii. We also play card games like poker. We always place a wager--for example, the winner gets to dare the loser ANYTHINGGGG. Have fun with it!
3. Head to the beach/park
It's so romantic to be out enjoying nature with your significant other. Go to the beach, gaze into the horizon while cozying up with him, take a walk along the shore, sun bathe, swim, play frisbee, volleyball, make sand castles, write each others names in the sand, have a picnic, watch the sunset, etc. Go to the park, ride bikes, play basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball, tennis, roll around in the grass, have a picnic, play on the play structures, etc. So many things to do!
4. Have a lazy day at home
Why not just chill at home and enjoy each others company? Lie around, talk, laugh, listen to your favorites songs and sing them together. Rent some movies and watch them together. Or if money's tight, borrow movies from friends, neighbors, family, whoever. Fix up some snacks to munch on and cuddle in bed or the couch and enjoy!
5. Go ice-skating or roller blading
General admissions is about $10, including renting the skates. Even if you don't know how to skate, you can enjoy this chance of holding on to him. If you both don't know how to skate, then you can both enjoy falling on your asses and makes some memories!
6. Costco
Yes, Costco! The best place ever! LoL! Hungry? No problem! Munch on samples for lunch (we do). We had a blast running from table to table trying to get more samples than we were allowed to, checked out the movies, books, magazines. Still hungry? We bought 2 hot dogs, a churro, and two drinks for under $5! For dessert, head to any ice cream parlor like Baskin Robins or Cold Stones and just ask to try a bunch of flavors. When you're done, just say your not "feelin" any of the flavors and walk out calmly. Voila! Free/cheap meal, entertainment, exercise, and free dessert.
7. Swim together
Go to a nearby place where there's a pool (obviously) like a gym, YMCA, a high school, recreational center, your backyard, wherever. It's more private than the beach or lake. Go when not a lot of people go (avoid Saturdays if you can) so you can have the pool to yourselves--or most of it anyways. There's a place near my house where it only costs $1 on certain days.
8. Bowling
Check to see what days there are discounts. Some of the bowling places here have 25 cents a game Wednesday and $1 Fridays. Again, place a wager! Winner gets ___________ and the loser has to ___________________.
The possibilities are endless!
