So, I ordered from MAC online 2 days ago. FASTEST SHIPPING EVER. AND IT WAS FREE!
I am like... stoked. My Viva Glam GaGa came along with the Prep + Prime Skin Refine. I can't remember who's YT vid it was I watched (bc I watch them ALL!) but I am pretty sure Elle said she liked it if I remember correctly, I do remember the story of how she didn't wait to put on her foundation... so it might have been her vid, but I feel like it was someone else's. Anyway, I got those two and then there was a code for free shipping and a free trial size Zoom Lash.
Let me tell you about this Zoom Lash. Fab. I know MsSmallTownBeauty on YT isn't fond of any MAC mascara so that's why I was hesitant to buy any - I haven't ever really heard much about MAC Mascaras other than that but I have to disagree. I got the Zoom Lash and tried it out on one eye and not the other - with out curling either side. UH-MAZING. It made the lashes I put it on pretty long. It didn't do much for volume but I don't think it claims to. But seriously. Niiiiiice. I will post comparison pix in a few.

Windows, Air Conditioners and Migraines.
So I was watching MakeupbyMel on YouTube when my boyfriend's handyman knocks on my door. Yes, I watch YouTube naked. I do a lot of stuff naked. Whatever. My dog is barking (which is a really rare occurrence, so I know she thinks someone is invading our space
So I have to quick find some clothes because his English is only as good as my Spanish. Therefore, "espero un mintito por favor" was doing me no huge favor. I already have the migraine of the century and am waiting for the massage therapist to call me back and let me know what time to come so he can make my migraine go bye bye.
Then, the window I want the air conditioner put in is caulked shut by the previous moron who worked for my boyfriend. UGH. Anyway, After he drills the window open and rips the caulk of, I have air... not like I didn't before... I had a fan and another functioning window.

Fat Camp
Along with the CG hair life change, I'm also looking at a lifestyle altering bariatric procedure. My boyfriend has one... then I wanted one... but my mom was influenced by our talks about it and got one first. I'm kinda jealous. She's lost 17 lbs so far. I am extremely jealous - you know, seeing as I had to gain 10 for the doctor to guarantee me a "YES." So now I'm fat and in the waiting process. It's really a pain - everywhere. I can't do that same things I used to because I've gained this extra 10 lbs... not to mention the fact that it's extremely unhealthy. But yeah, I'm waiting for the surgery date for my lap band. My boyfriend lost a total of 85 lbs and gained about 30 back because he was not eating properly; therefore, it was like he was anorexic. He totally isn't but when you don't eat what you can just to lose weight... whatever.
So I have to go to these meetings where we have group sessions about being fat and how the band or gastric bypass has affected our lives so we can learn from others. That's tonight.
Anyhow, Saturday night I did the Curly Girl Big Cut. It's basically where you cut off most of your hair - the dead part that will never have another chance of revival and then "start over" with fresh, relatively healthy hair. I found that my second day hair isn't so fabulous if I don't gel it and wear a cap or something. It's still not to it's full curl potential but it is seriously way better than it was. Less frizz, less stringy bits and the hairdresser basically just evened me out with a few layers. Not poof balls layers - just regular people, my hair will lay nicely layers. And this is a girl from the Haircuttery. She is very talented. She listened to what I wanted and explained what would happen if she did certain things. I think I only have one picture of me since then but it was seriously totally worth it and I will take another picture either this afternoon or tonight. So this that one picture. It was with my phone so it's kinda blurry but I love the way the cut came out. And as you can see I have lost of curl at the bottom when I previously has frizzy strangles.

Every Day Just Seems Farther and Farther Away from Graduation
So I've been at Temple University for four years and basically wasted my time here so far because this semester I've decided to completely change my major. I have all but one of the core classes completed and I am like 37 credits away from graduating. And I'm completely changing. None of my classes from Elementary Ed are going to transfer over to Information Science & Technology. And that just pisses me off.
Dear Temple Univsersity,
Do you know that you are like the ONLY university that doesn't let your students student teach until their last semester? I didn't even get that far thank God. If I had gotten that far I would have been severely pissed. I would like to say "Thank You" in the most teeth grinding way possible to Dr. Jayminn Sanford DeShields. She took us to a school - in the ghetto of Ill. I just couldn't do it, it felt so fake trying to pretend I was happy in front of those kids, pretend I cared about what they learned when they were really just out of control pains in my ass. I guess what I'm saying is that Temple University should throw Education Students out into the field infront of a class way before THEIR LAST YEAR HERE! You know, since if you hate it/can't manage it/figure out that is not what you were meant for, you can easily switch majors to something more comforting without a hassle and a waste of about 15,000$. And that's in state.
No Love,
Ms. Melendez
That was my point. Now I am looking at at least 3 more years in this fuckhole. Hail to what Alma Mater? Girls High. Temple University can go blow itself. Now I'm off to a computer class... After I put my make-up on. I look dead. Hmm... I think that's a side effect of this wretched place.
