so right now, i am currently debating between:
a) going back to dark brown (like i always do: see below) and maybe adding some blonde peek-a-boo highlights.
OR
b) doing a tight, heavy weave to try and make myself go ultra ash blonde. the below picture is obviously completely blonde, but you get the idea:)
the blonde would obviously be a shocker, but i can imagine myself pulling it off. the biggest reason i want to go blonde is because i have been a brunette FOR-EV-ERRR. on the same note, i don't want to appear to be some fake blonde bimbo.
thoughts, anyone?
--my life this past week looked like: working, working out A LOT, and tanning. this weekend, my plan is to: work out, tan, and study for my final.
--my final for my only class is on wednesday. i have actually come to despise the class and if i walk away with the lowest possible grade to pass, i will be happy. i stopped caring about 2 months ago.
--i spent at least an hour or two talking to one of my best friends every night this week. i'm not going to share her name because i'm not sure she would want to be associated with this, but basically, she just left her husband. he has been doing drugs on and off for the past couple years. she told me some awful stories about him being physically and verbally abusive towards her and sucking her financially dry to support his habit. how sometimes she had no money to buy pads or medicine when she was sick. he even pawned off her wedding ring for money. long story short, she finally left him. he has pulled all the stops to try and get her back, but i am SO proud of her for not giving into his manipulation. it also makes me so happy that she knows she can trust me and that i will be there to support her, always.
on that note, any prayers you could offer up for this anonymous friend would be much appreciated. she's going to need strength and hope for the next journey she's about to embark on.
--i have been wanting to be a psychology major for a handful of years now, but this week, i began considering the idea of becoming an elementary school teacher. this might be one of those things where i get momentarily amped on the idea, and then drop it a week later. but my dream, ultimately, is to work with children, and that dream comes in a variety of scenarios: working at an orphanage, being a school counselor, working with children who have Down Syndrome, opening up my own children's home. this week, i was remembering how much i loved elementary school. my teachers were amazing and i feel like they instilled the passion of learning in me. i'm also sure it helped that those were the years i attended a Christian school, so everything was centered around my faith. science wasn't based on evolution, but on creationism. history wasn't about being politically correct, but about how faith sparked revolution and change. how i would love to teach children the same ideas!
just a thought for this week. maybe next week i'll want to be an astronaut. who knows:)
--a week from today, i'll be in carmel, california with my mom and little sister. a pre-birthday celebration of sorts. we're going to go to the beach, eat lots of good food, and go shopping. it's going to be amazing:) i can't wait.
--i decided i'm going to take tennis lessons this summer. i don't know what sparked the idea of it, but i've always loved tennis. i have to wait until my next paycheck to sign up, which feels like an eternity at this point because i'm so excited.
--my friend, ryan, got me this amazing leather-bound journal for Christmas. i have only written a handful of things in there since then...mostly because it's so gorgeous, i'm afraid to do anything to marr its beauty! but this week, i decided to start penciling in the littlest things: my comings and goings, thoughts for the day, favorite quotes of the moment, random mishaps...
and it makes me SO happy! that therapeutic feeling of actually hand-writing the things in my heart...the rough feel of the paper...the smell of the leather...it's become pure joy to me.
i already can't wait to finish it, so that i can flip all the way back to the beginning to see where i started<3
***
those are my random little factoids for the moment. this weekend, besides studying for my final, i'm hoping to: drink lots of coffee, paint my nails a pretty bright pink color, read some, and catch up with friends i haven't talked to in awhile. life is sweet<3
and on that note, i'll leave you with some of my favorites from pinterest the last week or so:)
ADORE these wedges.
adore this top.
those eyes<3
preferably on the beach with a good book.
true story.
not a true story, but funny all the same.
FAVE.
this is the sweetest wedding photo i have ever seen.
i come back and look at it more often than i should.
