Fun with Hair and Make up 8/8/12

Well I got a whim to play around in front of the mirror with some make up. Nothing overly crazy this time but it did feel good to do. :) I have included my favorites from the impromptu shoot in both color and black & white.
I am starting to appreciate the black and white photos more but figured the colors were nice too. At first I used the regular flash and it gave me a pretty natural light. Later I used a piece of cream colored cloth to tone down the flash.

Enjoy!! XOXOXO

Found my tripod

Woohoo! I had forgotten where I had stashed my tripod after the move. Silly me for forgetting such an important thing.
Anywho, I had noticed that I did not have any recent photos of myself so here you go. :)

Enjoy! XOXOXO

On my way - One step at a time

Okay, I have sucessfully scheduled an appointment with a counselor at the community college so that I can go in and figure out what all I have left to do to receive an associate's degree.

One step at a time. :)
Just like sewing! You go one step at a time and then you end up with something nice. :)

Enjoy! XOXOXO

Current Life Update

Well I am pretty much settled in Oklahoma.
I am staying with family until I can get back on my feet.

This week's goal is to find out all I can about enrolling back into school. I did not complete my associates degree while in Texas so that is my first major goal. I know that many college graduates are having a tough time finding jobs right now so I am keeping the job market in mind when I think about going on to a four year college or simply learning a trade. I am grateful that I would be able to go to college if I chose to but I also understand that route may or may not be the best choice for my future.

Thanks to the support of my family I was able to get a new car that I can depend on and not worry about for the next few years. My last vehicle was a great one and it took care of me during it's last run and all of the previous owners in my family that had it before me.

I have joined the local Toastmaster's group, mainly to help me overcome my own insecurities and be more confident in my own skin.
The first speech I am to make (in my own time thankfully) is what they call an Ice Breaker speech.
Pretty much I will be talking about myself.
Sounds pretty easy, right?
No such luck for me at the moment. Whenever I start to think about what I would say about myself, I pretty much come up a bit blank. I don't honestly know myself well enough to tell other people about myself.
That is another one of my major goals, learn to be myself and not care so much about what other people might think.
My first step in this direction, I have decided, will be with the way I dress. I have discovered that I love 50's style dresses and just dressing nicer in general. Yes, I will always want to wear jeans and a t-shirt but I also want to only wear those when it is a bit more appropriate, for instance to a foot ball game or when doing weekend cleaning. The rest of the time I want to look nice and respectable.

Lol, if my parents read this I can imagine them shaking their heads and thinking, "I thought she would never get it!"

I have a friend in Texas who is dealing with a daughter that is in need of a good clean start over. I hope and pray that she will be able to start over as I have and I am very grateful that I have been giving the chance at a fresh start over.

I hope to post more pictures soon but until then I hope I can appease you with something a bit older.

Enjoy! XOXOXO

May Photo A Day Update

I have fallen behind on my photo a day duties but I will pick it back up soon.
I will still post a photo for the days that I have missed, even though it won't quite be same but I feel that I must complete it entirely.
Until next time.

May Photo A Day 5/8 - Smell I Adore

The great and wonderful outdoors.
I love the smell of clean air after it rains, grass, flowers, trees.
Nature is my favorite smell in the whole world.

During my brief stay in Ruidoso, New Mexico there is a "small" mountain a short drive from the house that I would go to and walk or climb whenever I just wanted to think and be alone. It was the most relaxing place and I could never be stressed out or depressed when I was there. 
Enjoy. XOXOXO
