I saw this girl do this nail tutorial on youtube, and I just HAD to try it! :P
So I bought the microbeads at Michaels, painted my nail, dipped my nail in the beads, waited for it to dry, put a top coat on and VoilĂ !

 I never realized how easily songs can get stuck in my head. When I was in my art classs yesterday, my friend started humming a Christimas song. Within like 10 seconds, the song was stuck in my head and I began humming it aswell. My friend then was like "YES! i got the song stuck in your head! MUHAHAHAH!" -_- So yea, if you haven't noticed by now, all my post titles are lines from songs. I always have a song stuck in my head so I guess thats my little way of sharing my music of the day :D

OHMYGOSH guess what guys?!?! I applied to my first school the other day! :D yip yip hoorayy! ^-^

Guest Post from Jess from StyleSays!



The New Santa: Shopping with StyleSays

Starbucks did it, they broke out the red cups. The momentum is building
towards the holiday shopping season at our favorite stores. We’ve already
survived Black Friday and Cyber Monday but the shopping is just beginning.
My name is Jess and I’m recent college grad who has always been neurotic
when it comes to Holiday gift giving. My family always tries to outdo one
another so I’ve picked up a few tips+tricks along the way that I’d like to share.
Full disclosure: this strange behavior eventually turned into a fashion site that I
run with a couple friends. More to come on that in a sec.

5. Start Now
Alright so we can be real, some people started weeks ago and there are others
that won’t start until Christmas Eve. It’s important to give yourself plenty of
time to shop around when buying for your loved ones. We all know the feeling
of opening a present and it was obviously one of the last items left at a
department store.
If you don’t know where to start and are overwhelmed by the thought of
navigating tons of confusing online stores, try out StyleSays. Hand-picked
items from the top online stores are organized in an easy to use one-stopshop.
4. Be Bold, Be Unique
It’s not just enough to start early though. With so many options you should be
bold, be unique and really make your friends+fam feel special. There are 100s
of amazing online stores with endless gift ideas so you’re sure to find the
perfect gift for everyone. And if you really want to be unique give a handmade
item from one of the many online marketplaces like Etsy.
No one wants to show up to work after new years with the same boots as
everyone else in the office. Don't even get me started on NYE outfits.





3. Wishlists
Wish hard enough and it may come true. Almost every site has a wishlist that
makes organizing gift ideas a lot easier. But you need to have all of your
wishlists in one place to really compare. StyleSays makes it easy to save your
favorite items from all of your favorite sites so you can compare gifts and prices
side-by-side. Shopping should be easy, right?

2. Free Returns
When you’re doing all your holiday shopping at the mall this isn’t a problem but
if you’re buying online it’s mega important to find stores with friendly return
policies.
You can find out which stores have free returns (and shipping) on StyleSays. To
help you get started these stores are extra friendly for returns: ASOS, ModCloth,
Free People, and ShopBop.

1. Treat yo ‘self!
Don’t end up with another robe or candle. Let people know what you want.
We’ve talked about finding the perfect gifts for everyone else but what about
the perfect gift for you? Make a collection of all the things you want to see
under the tree and then send that link around to all the Santas in your life.
You’ll save them the stress of buying the right thing and you’ll look damn good
rocking your 2012 wardrobe.

Bonus
StyleSays is playing Santa this year! Enter our Christmas List giveaway and you
could win an item from your list. It’s super easy to enter. 1) Make a Christmas List

and 2) Share it with a few friends.
Thank you to Kat and her lovely readers!

And, it can act as a guideline for your friends on what you might be interested in getting this holiday season. I hope you guys will check out the site, it really is great! :)

So I found out today that a lot of people don't know anything about me. I was in photography class and guy in my class comes up to me. Here was the converation:

Guy: I saw you driving into the school this morning! I didn't know you drove to school. What grade are you in?
Me: Your grade -_-
Guy: Really? Since when?!
Me: Since always! (with a hint of attitude :P)
Guy: You've been in 12th grade for 4 years?!?
Me: no...

And then he proceeds to tell his friend (who is also in my grade) about me, both realizing that I am not a junior and I have been in their grade since 6th grade and have lived in this town since I was born -_-

My art teacher of 3 years now also learned something about me today. Next conversation in the same class:

Teacher: Kathleen, you know korean, can you help this guy (points to the korean kid in my class)
Me: no...i'm not korean...
Teacher: oh...

haha story of my life! I guess i'm just too quite :P
