Piercings... ???

Hello there!

 

So in the past few weeks I've been thinking about getting a new piercing... as you can probably tell... by the title. I have my ears pierced in the normal spot but I keep wavering between getting a new piercing and not. If I do decide to get 1 I either like...

 

Upper Ear

like Hayden Panettiere here

 

Nose

like Miley Cyrus

 

or Belly Button

If I could ever achieve this tummy, I would feel invincible

 

 

If I ever got one, I would probably wear the smallest diamond looking stud I could find, pretty much like the ones I have pictured, I've never liked the open ring look in these spots. But I keep changing my mind on whether or not to get one, I know they'd be a bit painful but I think It'd be interesting.  

 

What do you think of these alternative piercings? Do you have any piercings? Leave them in the comments below!

Blondie!!!

Hello there!

So I got an extremely long overdue haircut today and decided:
1) To dye my ends blonde and blonder in an ombre fashion and
2) To let my annoying bangs grow out

 

Me bleaching the absolute CRAP out of my hair...

 

My sister getting a nice red color with our two amazing hair stylists

They seriously took 4.5 hours to work on my crazy hair

 

Before and After!

Don't know why the 2nd looks so blurry but yes, officially a blonde (well partly)

 

I have 3 tones in my hair but in a few weeks I think I want to go in and ask for lighter ends, which the bleach was sitting on my hair for absolutely ever today so I don't think there's anything they could have done to make it any better since it's my first time. However, though it's not as blonde as I would have wanted I am completely infatuated with the blonde coloring and hope everyone else loves it!

 

What do you think of the blonde, too much or not enough? I would really appreciate any comments and what are thinking of the ombre craze taking over? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

 

Have a Wonderful Day!

What I Do When Life Gets Rough

Hello there!

So recently, I've been through it. Everyday so much seems to go wrong but I guess that we all have to at some point, right? And I'm sorry that I have no beauty-related post for you today (though I promise tomorrow's is good, well I'm excited) however I still wanted to post. And recently I've found that I'm just trying to find ways to stay sane and happy and I know it's similar to what I wrote about yesterday and I'm sorry but here's 5 things I do when life gets rough:

1. Hang Out with My Cat

All day at school I could only think about how excited I was to come home and see my wonderful cat and I just sat with her for the last hour but I love hanging out with her. You know pets are known to reduce heart problems for their owners ;)

2. Find my Favorite Foods

If you came to my house right now, you'd find a highly sweetened Arizona Tea next to my deliciously unhealthy Swedish Fish that I'm eating now that I've finished my McDonald's. Seriously, I know it's ridiculously unhealthy and I'll be paying this all back later on, exercising but right now, in this moment, it's all I want.

3. Visit a New World

Things to Smile About :)

Hello there!

 

So today has been one of those days. And this week has been one of those weeks. One of them where literally nothing goes right and I just want to punch something but rather than complain to you all about my problems I want to smile, at least for awhile so here are some things that I think are worth smiling about... :)

 

1. Cats, dogs, pets!

 

 

 

Wednesday Wishlist- Fall Fashion

Hello there!

 

So last week I wrote a post on Fall Fashion Trends and I could not stop raving about how much I loved all of those amazing trends so I thought this lovely Wednesday I would point out 5 specific items I've had my eye on lately. And by have my eye on I mean constantly obsessing over and thinking about everyday. So... here we go!

 

 

1. A Dressy Sweater

 

 

 

So if you know me, you know that I love sweaters, absolutely adore them. They're comfy, adorable, easy to match, and just all together wonderful.  I have a few but I would really like a new one that is fancier than my current simple ones. I love the patterns and stripes on this one and I don't think I've even seen so many different patterns match together so perfectly.

Cleaning Oily Hair!

Hello there!

So I saw a trick awhile ago on Pinterest or Tumblr somewhere and maybe the rest of the world knows this but it's amazing! So for the past few years I've had an oily spot on the back of my head. Dead center in the back, every single day no matter how much shampoo I scrubbed through it, it would ALWAYS be greasy. But the other day I decided to try this trick and I'm now in love...

So just mix in about 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda (I know, weird) with your shampoo, which will make it very thick and a bit harder to scrub but bear with me and scrub it, really actually scrub it throughout your hair and I promise, especially for those of us that use hair product, your hair will feel amazing. Like I can't stop flipping it everywhere and playing with it because it feels really light and clean and far less oily. It even gives my hair more volume without making it frizzy.

I have to use hair product so that this curly mane doesn't get out of control...

one of my particularly interesting hair days...

But I'm excited that I've finally found a way to clean it all out every once in awhile. I only wish I had a before and after picture to show how well this worked. I used to have to burn that oily spot on the back of my head with the straightener until smoke was rising up to temporarily get rid of it but it's been 3 days and my hair is lighter than ever and hasn't been oily once.

Sorry if this sounds like a sales pitch, which it kind of does but I'm just really excited about it...

Anyways, do you have any other interesting hair tricks? Leave them in the comments below!

Have an absolutely wonderful day!

Inspirational Sunday/New Title

Hello there!

I've changed my title several times since I started this blog but I've finally found one that I love... the current one: For the Love.

It was inspired by Hunter Hayes Youtube series: For the Love of Music. I love it because he's found something that he's so passionate about and he gets to live it everyday and shows the world the love he has for music. And I think that's the point of my blog: to write, because I love to write, about music every once in awhile but mostly beauty things, 2 amazing things I've fallen in love with in the past couple years. And I don't want to write for a paycheck or for more followers or anything, I want to write because I love it. So hence the title... For the Love


For me at least, finding something that I love to do and making a career out of it is my top priority. Being stuck in a job I dread going to is one of my very worst fears. So right now I'm focusing on that, just finding all of the things in this wonderful world that I love to do and doing them as much as I can, and it's probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I know this was a short one but I hope it had some inspiration in it.

What do you love to do? Leave your favorite things in the comments below!

Have a wonderfully inspiring day!

OOTD- mixing warm and cold

Hello there!

 

As you may know, I live in California! Now most think this is amazing and it's full of sunshine and happiness and it is, full of sunshine at least... However in the morning it is quite cold, cold enough for there to be frost on the windows. And being the teenager I am I have an older car and the 1 thing we forgot to check before we bought it was the heat and it has NONE so in the mornings when it's cold, so am I.

 

Now most would say just wear some warmer clothes! That's nice and all but come 3 pm when I'm walking out of school in the 90 degree weather and when I have to stand outside for an hour for the fire drill in direct sunlight (thank you very much whoever decided on a CA statewide drill), I would melt into a puddle of sad little Mia. So what does one do?

 

Everyday I have the challenge of mixing warm and cold clothes and layering in a way that caters to both weathers in this crazy state. So here's todays outfit:

 

Fall Trends!

 

Hello there!

 

So I've noticed a few fashion trends this fall that I am absolutely loving and thought it'd be fun to talk about them today. I'm finding most of these off of Pinterest because although I would love to go out and show you these awesome things myself, I do not have the money. But I love Pinterest because I can see what not just the people I'm around but people all over the country are loving and I think that's wonderful. So to start...

Sick Day :(

Hello there!

I know I have been absent for the past few weeks and I'm very sorry. Things got very, very busy for a bit and I ran out of time even after losing most of my sleep. Anyways, I got out of the blogging mode but now I am back! I stayed home from school today sick and have found myself with far too much time so I thought I'd officially end my break :)

I'm sick simply due to exhaustion which I knew was coming. I'm an internet kid, what can I say? With working out, homework, school, and music taking up all of my normal time after school I usually spend a lot of the time I should be sleeping on the internet which I absolutely love but I still have to wake up at 6 every morning for school. I have no problem losing this sleep, I love the productivity but my body fights back after awhile and I end up home sick every once in awhile, out of exhaustion but I really don't mind. I'll be back to normal soon, blogging everyday soon, and ignoring normal sleep schedules :)

How is everyone doing? Are there any other internet kids out there? I'd love to hear about you in the comments!

Have a wonderful day!
