Workout hair

So I recently cut my hair even shorter than it was before and I think it looks pretty cute, especially straight. However, I ran into a dilemma today. When I went to work out... I had a hard time putting my hair back and had to stick like a million pins and clips in it to stay put. My hair is not only short but has various layers which makes pining it up even harder.

Then because it was straightened and I was sweating I couldn't fix it until after it dried which is kinda gross but otherwise I'd have to rewash and straighten it and that would take like 2 hours because my hair is very curly and stubborn! Still... I love my hair it's vibrant like me! Unfortunately it's also kinda rebellious and hard to tame.

Oh how I missed you....

Hey guys!

So I haven't blogged for quite a long time again... but I did want to post an update. So for lent, as many of you know, I gave up sweets. I was able to avoid chocolate and pastries for.... *gasp* 4 weeks!!!! but a couple of days before Easter I received my shipment of chocri custom chocolate bars and then it was all over lol. My anticipation for them was too much and the look and smell of them overtook me. I tried though, to resist and succeeded for a long time. I loved the chocolate so much I had to create a video.

SUGAR CRAVINGS AND STITCHES!!!

Ok so it's been over 4 weeks now with NO SWEETS!! I know I can hardly believe it too... They say the first week is the hardest but honestly I feel like the 4th week is the hardest! Lately I've been craving chocolate like there's no tomorrow. I am happy to say, however, that I have not succumb to my temptations. The only problem is... I have been buying chocolate to keep for after lent. I ordered custom made chocolate bars from Chorci (thanks for telling me about them Kandee) I'm still waiting for my chocolates to come in the mail but I'm really excited about them.Another great thing about their chocolate.... it's fair trade! If you want to order some their website is www.createmychocolate.com .

In other news, I've picked up a new hobby. Well, actually, it isn't really new I just haven't done it in a very long time. Sewing! I just bought myself a new handy dandy sewing machine from Sears!!! The great thing about buying one from them is that they give classes once a month (first Wednesday of every month) on how to use the machine, the different stitches and threads etc.. I am someone who gets impatient when I have a new toy so I youtubed videos on how to set up and make garments... I already turned an old pair of jeans into a knee length pencil skirt!! I'm so excited to get some fabric and make cool garments out of them.
