We have a WEDDING to PLAN

  Well Hello Friends and Family,

      Thursday, December 15th Jared proposed. I am sure most of you guys have heard but, I want to tell everyone details about how it all went down :)

    Jared had invited me on a Date night which, thankfully is nothing unusual. We get to downtown Raleigh and get out of our car to head to our restaurant. "We apparently didn't know where the restaurant was." So we ended up walking through a normal walkway and across the street. Jared even asked random ppl where it was. He totally had me fooled!!
   So after dinner was done and delicious and we headed for the door. At this point nothing was different and in anyway or form unusual for us.
  While we were walking back towards the car, we turned the corner which was right into the walkway and i notice rose petals all over the floor and candles lighted up on the outside of the walkway. I saw everything but, didn't thinking much about it.
 
       It wasn't until Jared stopped me at the table with a gorgeous flower arrangement's and lanterns next to it, that I realized what was just about to happen. I started crying but, of course I am a daughter of Suzie Thomas, so i am sure that was expected. But Jared said  some sweet words and got down on one knee.
   The family was there on both sides and Jared even got our closet friends together to attend the event as well.
  I loved how everyone was there to help with and help share the moment with us.

   I was so overwhelmed with joy and tears and excitement. He did so well with the planning and ring.
 I am so proud of him.

"The Look"

So couple days ago, My advance teacher came up to me and was talking about how "my look" doesn't really fit the par. Well, it just so happened that today there was a editorial photo-shoot with some of the students who are about to graduate, and Bridget (The Advance Teacher) wanted to make me a model for herself and use the photos for her website.

  I brought a photo for my cut because, I had known she was going to cut my hair today, it was just color that was a surprise. We all know tho that I'm open about color. I have colored my hair so many times, It is just the length of my hair that I am a freak about.

 This was the vision on the cut. Just more edgy and a little more rocker sleek.

 This is the new hairstylist London :)  The coloring is funky and richer for the Fall.. No worries for the people who are out there that are attached to my blond.. It will be there again for the summer time.
 This was me before my photoshoot.

 Hope yall like the NEW LOOK <3 <3
 

Hair Cutting lady!~

  Hey Everyone,
 
   I know its been awhile and it will probably be awhile for the next post but, Gammy ( my grandmother) told me today that i needed to update my blog more often. Gammy, This post is for you!!
 
   I started working on the floor last week. It is called "Model Week" you get people you know to come in and get these basics color or cut done for a grade. After that you start your Alpha phase.  That is what i am entering starting tomorrow.
   I have my first booking tomorrow morning from a guy who is about to graduate soon. It is going to be a color and cut. He came up to me last week and asked if i would take his client for Tuesday morning. I was like Yes, of course. And instant i felt a nervous rush run through my body. I almost changed my mind but, I love doing hair.

   Mom, Macy and Linc all came in during model week. So glad i have a bug supportive family to help me out. haha . Mom ended up getting a color. Macy got some low lights with the underneath part darkened as well. Linc got a wonderful Mini Facial. I hope everyone i did work on enjoyed the experience. I really try and focus on the service as a whole.

   I am really ready to hurry and get out of Aveda. I hate the hour long, Stuff in TRAFFIC, wrecks daily drive I have every morning and every evening. I hope to get a job here in Raleigh once i am out, but not sure where yet.

  Most thing I love about doing hair. besides the actual part of doing the hair... Is how the person feels afterwards. Now, all my turnouts have been good. But that i can make someone feel pretty or feel better about them self's all because of some color or a cut. I enjoy seeing the reactions of joy on their faces when they see the results and approve!
  So i am excited to enter this alpha phase and can't wait to see what all i learn in it.
Wish me luck <3

 Ill try and get some photos soon to update yall with also.

     

Cosmetology school

Hello Everyone,

   I know its been forever since my last post but. I am a busy girl. :) 

Every since July 19th, when school started its all I do. I have classes Tuesday- Saturday. Yes, I said It Saturday. Its a bummer and no fun not to mention i have to be there by 8am.  

   

 But, I love what i am doing! Its exactly what I want to do with my career and i enjoy every minute of it. Now don't get me wrong, Its also very frustrating to say the least. I never thought it would be this hard. Cutting hair is seriously a work of art. Coloring on the other hand is like my comfort blanket. I know how it works and i get it. Cutting scares me.

  

 I am currently in Enlightenment 2 and only 3 more weeks of that and then i am on the floor. I have mixed feelings about the floor. I am excited b/c i know its closer to being out and making money, but at the same time I do not feel ready at all to actually be cutting on humans. haha scary I know!

 

 That's all for now. Ill try and keep yall updated once i get on the floor! 

Schooo0ol is out... FOREVER!

So I finally made it through 4 years of college and got that degree my father has been praying i get :) I was so glad my family was able to come up and make it. It wouldn't be the same with out them.

I move back home in about 2 days. I know I know I know.. "ohhh what an adjustment that will be" But it

has its benefits ( No more grocery shopping for myself, Ill have a washer and

drier and not to mention ill have the company of my roommates.)

Macy and I leave for Europe in 5 days and I can not wait. I am so excited and anxious to get there. I know we are going to just love it! We are flying into LONDON. I can't believe my life long dream is coming true. I just really wish my Sweet pa was still around to take me there like we had always planned. Makes me so sad to think about it. But, moving on before I get my whole family in tears reading this :) Love yall.

We will be in London for 4 days then heading south to Paris

& next comes Venice and Rome where will be flying to Barcelona for 4 days. After all that exploring we are going to pamper ourselves by setting sail around the Mediterranean islands.

Hello Goodbye ECU

I hate that it has been so long since my last blog, but I am a busy girl :) what can i say ??

I Have been aware that I am graduating college for the last 2 years counting down the days. And as of yesterday I heard that i have only 10 more Tuesday Thursday Classes. AHHHHH I mean is this really happening to me? I am no were near mature enough to go off and get a big girl job. Ive been doing school for the last 20 years of my life it is all i know of really.

I must admit i have learned so much within this last year of my college career than all the other 3 combined. Some of the things i have learned by interest and by being forced to :)

1- Daddy told me I am on my own once i graduate.

2- Daddy is not going to pay for my cosmetology school -"but what happened to you paying for grad school"? guess he thinks there is a difference :)

3-Having to grow up.

So I finally starting really considering if graduating college is worth it? I am thinking that the title DR. Thomas doesn't sound too bad!

Not really ready to graduate. Hope maybe some of you graduates can help me bring my spirits up with encouraging words.

I'm Only the Nanny

Recently, I got a job to nanny these 3 kids.
When most people get an offer about babysitting and watching others kids you automatic assume that the kids are going to be good and sweet kids. Well.....

Mine of course are not. HAHA there are 2 boys and a girl and the very first night i stayed with them at dinner they threw there spaghetti. Yes, Im not joking when i say my kids had a food fight at dinner. I was so embarrassed and had no idea what to do to make these kids listen and mind me. So I make it through dinner and now bath time. I wish i could upload this video i took what all 3 kids were doing before bath because, they were running around with their pants around there ankles and getting major ( the horse dog aka mastiff) excited . If you don't know what kind of a dog that is here let me just show what major is... HAHA the sad thing is, this is honestly the dog.Major also can not keep his slobber in his mouth it just drools.. ugh GROSS and did i mention that the thing thinks he is a lap dog? ohh yes sir, major will come rub up against like a cat and I honestly get thrown off balance.

So once major was excited and going crazy I lose it. I call the old nanny almost in tears like Mary, Mary I have lost control of these kidos. They won't listen to me and they are running around like just plucked chickens ( literally) with there heads cut off.
Good thing Mary is so sweet and was like okay London calm down, don't stress! she says- "london you have to raise your voice at them and tell them everybody if you don't sit down where you are I am going to call your dad" so i do and the results where just mind blowing. At that very second there was silents. I couldn't believe my ears.

So basically, every since that night I have used that line. Ha
No, but the kids have be doing so much better and I learn so much from them everyday.
