fill in the blank friday.

1.  My last haircut was   I think April….eeek…that’s way too long! Maybe I’ll get a trim for Christmas!

2.  My most daring hair moment was letting a friend try to highlight my hair at home…..

3.  A hairstyle I'd never be brave enough to try is a pixie..or buzz cut. Sometimes at my most frustration {i.e. humid days}, it doesn’t sound like a half bad idea….

4.  I've always dreamt of being a (blonde, brunette or red-head)   Blonde….however, I think it’d just look odd with my skin coloring.

5.  My go-to hair do is oh gosh. Mostly down and straight

6.  My biggest hair disaster was     I actually have 2 {go figure}

1) After my friend tried to highlight my hair at home…In order to get rid of the Zebra stripes, my hairdresser had to die my  hair blonde {like a “hey i just used sun-in orangish-blonde} for a week….Thank God it was close to Spring Break and I only had to go to 1 day of school like that….sooooo embarrassing!

2) I once went to a hairdresser {it was like a step up from pro-cuts, but at 13 how am I supposed to know anything different than where my mom gets her hair cut} and decided that I wanted to have my hair chemically relaxed {thinking I wouldn’t have to take 45 minutes to blow dry it & obviously pre knowing what a straightener was}. I woke up a few days after to find a 1/2 inch spike along the part on top of my head. You can imagine my reaction! {hairspray and a pony tail were my best friends for quite some time!}

7.  A hairstyle I am dying to try is The free flowing loose curls…..I’ve tried it, but not perfected it!

8.  My best hair day was actually it might have been last night….I woke up this morning and it still looked perfect!

9.  The worst hairstyle I ever had was  oooo in 2nd grade, I got bored during TAAS Testing {that’s one of the Texas Testing Programs} and cut myself some bangs. The funny part is that when I cut them I had my hair pulled out straight, not realizing that when I let go they would shrink up {because my hair is so curly}. I had awesome 1 inch bangs for quite awhile…if only I had a picture on this computer {it would make your day}

10.  My hair is sometimes my  worst enemy…..but I feel like each year I do a little bit better job styling it…one day I’ll have it down!

wow. that’s a scary picture ------>

btw. I am over the moon today! Once I figure out how to put why into words, I’ll update you!

There’s this list frozen custard shop {Rusty’s} down the street from my house. Every October and November they sell Pumpkin custard. They put little bits of pie crust {and whipped cream if you like it} in it and mix it all around. Let me tell you, it is one cup of pure bliss!! If you like pumpkin pie you will melt over it!

And to make matters worse……they now have a sign which I pass at least twice a day that says “Cheat on your diet…Pumpkin Custard is here!”  Thanks Rusty’s for making my “inner fat kid” scream EVEN louder!

Now that it’s finally getting cold at night, I bought a jug of Apple Cider. There is nothing better than heating up a pot {trust me…it’s better on the stove}, pouring it in, adding a couple sticks of cinnamon {and rum if you’re feeling wild}, and cozying up on the couch with a blanket and my DVR. Ahhhh……

I decided at the age of 25 that I needed to make myself start liking red wine. So last winter, I did! I have officially become a ‘Red Wine Drinker’; however, only in the winter. I just can’t seem force a glass of warm liquid down my throat when its 100° outside. Now that fall is approaching I have stocked up on what I call my “best wine find ever!” The Frontera Winery makes some fabulous wine! And the best part is, I can get a Magnum {the double size is always best for a girls night} for only $11.00! Yes…you read that right…$11.00. Which in Oklahoma is an AMAZING AMAZING price for a decent wine! The Cabernet Sauvignon is my favorite! {I haven’t tried any of their other reds} Head to your closest liquor store and buy a bottle, you won’t be disappointed!

Seems to be that everything I’m loving right now is Fall related….which is funny because I’m not really a fan of Fall….it means it’s about to get REAL cold outside and I despise nothing more than being cold. I guess that’s why I bought this cute little blazer from Gap a few weeks ago. {I wish I would have gotten the black one too..but I’ll have to wait for a MAJOR sale!} I’m a BIG jacket fan and have started to gain quite the collection….could it be replacing my jean obsession?! {click on the picture to purchase it for yourself!}

I have been waiting for the last 9 months to be able to curl my hair with a curling iron and have it look good! And after 9 months of growing my hair out {and strategizing the best way to do it}, I purchased a curling iron and tried it! OMG. I think I love it {the jury’s final decision is still out}. It was super easy and didn’t take any longer than straightening my hair {maybe even less time}. Picture of it coming soon….
