Father's Day Photo Montage

| Garnishes? Or cats? |
 |
| The grueling process of poaching eggs. LOL. No seriously, I HATE COOKING. |
 |
| Canadian Bacon! Viva la revolution! |
 |
| Yeah, the argyle bag is mine...ahem, his card reads "Father's Day Weekend Honoree" because it's literally, HIS WEEKEND. |
 |
| Eggs Benedict anyone? |
 |
| The Bloody Mary I made for my dad could have used a few more stuffed olives, no? |
Tonight should be better I hope. Please, don't come in.
I Joined the Cold Cave Cult
John and I went to see his favorite band, Cold Cave, in San Diego last night. He took off from work early, I took off the next two days off completely, and we were both really excited. Our lives are basically not our own, and it really makes things difficult when you have NO TIME ALONE. We wanted to stay in San Diego last night, but John had to work the next day. My working man!
Okay, so I am going to be honest with you, Cold Cave scares the fuck out of me. A lot of people who like Morrissey seem to be into Cold Cave, but I am not one of them. I know it's not cool to not "worship" Wes, the singer and brains behind the operation, but like I said, I just don't get it.
John got mad at me when I asked if I had to wear all black. Well, it's a valid question! I know it's not 1994 anymore, but back in the day if I had seen some bitch roll up to my Nine Inch Nails show with a flower dress on and a bow in her hair, I would of beat her. Severely. I want to fit in. I already don't know any songs, or anyone else that's going to be there.
Also, John was so excited this morning, which was nice to see. I know being here has been stressful on him, but he just left SUPER early for work so he can take off early and we can jam. My plans are to focus on my outfit, visit my friend Andy that works down in the Gaslamp District, and try not to get killed.
Our dinner, was amazing. I felt like a proud parent, seeing Andy serving so well, in such a fine dining atmosphere. He has come so far in everything he does, and is an absolute doll.
I did not bring my camera into the show with me. I am apparently still living in the age where cameras were not allowed at shows, because everyone and their brother had a camera. I also saw a whole encyclopedia of hipsters...and at that point I was begging for my camera.
You know, girl-who-doesn't-know-her-boyfriend-is-gay, Mr. "I drank too much PBR"---so now I know everything about indie rock, really cute annoying skinny merch girls with dirty hair just sitting and judging everyone's clothes, group of dudes rockin' beards and stinking up the place with their "hipster" B.O. (because they rode their bike there) and...me.
John got to talk to Wes and take pictures with him afterwards. They even hugged. That was all I needed to see to know I have joined the Cold Cave Cult. I'm still washing my hair though, and I KNOW my man ain't gay.

Meet Chelsee from Southern Beauty Guide
First I started following her on Instagram, because I have a problem with eyebrows, eyeliner, cat eyes, you name it. My mom never taught me anything about makeup (probably because she didn't wear much) but all the same, it was definitely an area in which I lacked tutelage. I have smaller eyes, so it's hard for me to watch all these videos on YouTube where the chick has eyelids the size of small platters, and I am like...yeah this isn't going to work. Enter Chelsee, and her blog Southern Beauty Guide. Saved my life, and the life of my eyebrows.
Where can we find you, Miss?
Blog post you are most proud of?
How do you balance everything? What is an average day like for you?
Well my day starts off pretty normal. First of all once I wake up, I check my phone and attempt to drag myself out of bed. I am not really a morning person, so sometimes this is super difficult. After taking a long hot shower I start getting ready. For me, being the makeup perfectionist that I am, I take my time getting ready before work. I jam out to all the latest hits across the board will I am getting ready. Usually by this time I am a running out the door heading to work, but not before grabbing a coffee to go. After I get off work (which I spend all day putting out fires/issues) I head home where I study for the LSAT, work on stuff for the business I co-own, and anything else. While on my way home I think about the things I did and the things I needed to have done. Finally if I am lucky I eat dinner and am asleep by 2am, but most of the time I run off of 3-4 hours of sleep. This vicious cycle repeats sooner than I would like, but that is life. In between it all I sometimes actually attempt to have a personal life, which I admit is rare for me. If I honestly told you everything I do on a daily basis it would be a novel, so I will spare you.
Yes I have a fish, dog, and cat! They are all my children!!

This is a tough one, because it seems to be something that everyone including myself constantly struggles with. Honestly.. Sometimes I just have to turn my phone on silent and step away from the computer. It truly is hard trying to manage my online life and personal life, but I love how busy my life is and wouldn’t change anything. It just takes lots of pre-planning and scheduling.

What inspired you to start blogging?
It all began in March of 2012, I honestly started following
one blogger and in the at the time I was getting hit pretty hard on Facebook
with people asking for information on products and tutorials, so I decided what
better way to give them what they want then to start a blog. Specifically,
I wanted to start a Beauty Blog to provide a forum to answer their questions
and to help anyone needing it.

Favorite drink is sweet tea!
Pets? Or as I call them, "my children"...
