She got beat by the pretty stick.

Marchesa and Derek Lam. If you are looking for "to-die-for" fall fashion and you need a truly genious designer to follow, then "you're welcome".

Matthew Gray Gubler + Art = ummmm.... interesting.

Maybe to the untrained eye they aren't that exciting. Some might say scary, weird, psychotic, but when you really look at them they are actually pretty...cool. It's like a mix of people, monsters and a lot of color. I actually find myself feeling sad that i can't draw like that.

Ooooh 1930's: Finger WaVeS.

I love the 1930's and 1940's hair styles. They are so pretty and fun, so I really wanted to find out how to do my own hair that way. It was hard to find the directions without having to pay money for the online book(come on.....) , but here they are:
*Step 1: Wet your hair and then pat dry, leaving it a bit damp. Add curling gel(preferably clear gel).
*Step 2: Comb your hair flat from wherever you part your hair. If you have long hair, try to comb your hair back.
*Step 3: Start at your part and use the comb to make a small bump in your hair. Pin the bump in place with a bobby pin. continue from the bobby pin making as many bumps as you want, and pin them.
*Step 4: Leave in the pins until your hair is completely dry. If you need extra help holding the curls in place, use hairspray.

I know it sounds weird, but i have always wanted to write a book just so i could pick out the cover. I mean, that is usually the first thing that makes you go " huh, well that book looks like a fun read" right? Well, as you may have guessed, I'm an art geek. I seem to look at pictures in a different way, wether they are pretty or not, i always find something pretty about them. So here are some pictures i found. What do you think?

TeA pUnCh*

I thought this recipe would be pretty appropriate for the theme of this site, so I decided to share it with you. Tea Punch is actually something I found out about from an interview on the Ellen show of Reese Witherspoon. She had brought it onto the set with her and it looked really good. I made it for my family one time and it was gone in one day(it serves about ten people and we have 4). So here it is:

                               * 8 regular tea bags

                               * 7 cups water, more if needed

                               * A 12 oz. can of frozen orange juice concentrate

                               * A 12 oz. can of frozen lemonade concentrate

                               * 2 cups of sugar

                               * 1 lemon, thinly sliced

* Place the tea bags in 7 cups boiling water. Remove tea bags.

* Add remaining ingredients. Pour into 1 gallon pitcher. 

* Add cold water to fill pitcher, and then add sliced lemons. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Music you should hear before you grow old and lose your hearing:

* " You Give Love a Bad Name" -Bon Jovi

* " Keep on lovin You"- REO Speedwagon

* " Baby, Dont Forget My Number"- Milli Vanilli. Lots of 80's music:)

* " Ashley"- Disco Curtis. Just for fun!

* " Living Room", " Feel it in My Bones", " Hell"- Tegan and Sara

* " Loser"- Beck. He can make anyone like his music, trust me.

* " You Oughta Know"- Alanis Morisette. That is one angry woman :]

* " Smile"- Uncle Kracker. This will very well " make you smile" :)

* " Two Princes"- Spin Doctors

* " Your Winter"- Sister Hazel. Gotta have that country.

* " Heartless"- Kanye West

* " Hurtful"- Eric Hassel

Lots more 80's. It will make you happy:)

No RoOm! No RoOm! This blog is basically an "anything goes" area. I can vent, share helpful hints, or just enjoy talking to a computer screen, because i probably won't get any viewers. Hopefully it will be more than just me talking to myself, but whatever. Who ever reads this, I hope you enjoy:)
