Mellie Dee ♥

Last night, I ventured out to find a dress to wear to my friends’ engagement party. After, much looking around, I found one. It was from Macy’s for $17.99, I believe.

Te gusta?

Sadly, it won’t be worn Sunday.

I got a call from De Lorenzo Friday night, to confirm our hair appointment Saturday for their show Sunday and Monday.

Since I have school Monday, I can only do Sunday and well … yeah, it clashes with the engagement party as well as football practice.

Sadly, I already knew about the show earlier than the engagement party so, I have to go with what I committed to first, right?

Once in a lifetime, right? Plus, I can cross off getting my hair did professionally and getting my make up did professionally off my list.

This is what the show is called.

Today was prep day, not the real show. It was a Tammy, Jenny, and me type bonding moment. We got there at around 10:45am. Matt found us and took us to the Model Check-In.

I felt like a rockstar. I will never be a model model. Have you seen my body? So, I felt very happy.

They gave us checkerboard wristbands and made us fill in the consent form. Check and Check.

Since they were busy with coloring the other girls’ hair, they told us to hang around and be back by a certain time. We walked across the street to the Riverwalk and ate at the Food Court. It is the devil over there. Reminds me why I never eat at Food Courts if I have the choice. So fatty, so bad for you foods.

We headed into Macy’s too since we had time to spare and we wanted to know if we can find anymore amazing dresses like the one up top. I bought this blue tee for $4.99!

Then it was time to head back, and head back we did. Then we waited for a little while for our turn.

I was the first to go into the chair. I have “virgin hair” as they call it. So I was hell-a scared.

Reping that De Lorenzo swag (Why do people say swag? Just now tried it and uh .. it’s awkward.)

That’s Molly in the back. She was the one that found us.

They did highlights for Tammy (Left) and Jenny (Right).

They even fed us since we were there for so long. Us three just got a jumbo hot dog each. That would be Matt putting the food together in the picture on the left; on the right is our hot dogs and condiments. Yum!

They even have those chairs at the salons to wash out your hair and that’s where we all went to get that done. That would be Tammy getting her hair washed and conditioned and what not. The one doing so is Douglas. He is hilarious. His little comments make me laugh. I was sad for him though because one of the girl models ate his food (who didn’t order any) and he got none. That sucks major boo boo!

Our After Pictures

I don’t see any difference with my hair but it could be because they know I was scared that I’ve never dyed my hair before so they went super easy on it. Maybe tomorrow they can make it more bam bam bam!

We’re told they aren’t done yet, so we shall see what else they have in store for us tomorrow before the show!

This picture does not do this girl justice but her hair was gorgeous! The one that did it for her, his name is Marvin. He is so funny. Always so excited and happy! Love it!

The goodie bag they gave us for being their models! The bag’s material is amazing. I love it. They gave us shampoo, conditioner, and treatment for colored hair.

Their products are amazing. My hair feels amazing. They don’t test on animals and it’s organic! If I was rich, I would buy everything they have because my gosh … I love it!

See how big this place is? Picture it 500 times this size. That’s how big this show is going to be. AND they have rooms turned into classrooms outside of this room for people to learn more! It’s all so dang interesting!

Now I can cross off getting my hair professionally done off my bucket list!

Can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us!

Lately, songs have been stuck in my head like you can’t even imagine. I’ll go on singing them and uh … I don’t even know the words. Yep … I look ridiculous whenever that happens. Pretty much ALL. THE. TIME.

If I do get the words correct and people ask me who sang it, Sorry, I can’t tell yah.

Anyway, this is what’s going on right now. Oh, you know. Just sitting here in my living room sipping on some TAZO green tea. I don’t have any mugs (sad) so it’s one of the jars I use to make OOIAJ. It’s too hot to handle … that’s the reason for the towel.

Ghetto. I know.

Tammy’s here for the weekend and she’s educating me about diabetes and carbs and all that other junk. She’s a pharmacist student so she needs to learn all of these things and reiterating it all to me helps her remember it.

Eye-opener!!

While she reads me little facts, I’m catching up on other blogs and whatever else I need to catch up on.

I love lazy nights like these where we’re not consumed by social gatherings. A chance to just relax and do what we want … though Tammy is studying … but it’s what she wants.

I think.

Okay. Time to go off to Blogland till I fall asleep. Night guys!

You know what the best feeling in the world is?

When someone you’ve known for a long, long time, deletes you off of Facebook.

Cool, man. I know when you use to have no friends and I was the only one that would talk to you and introduced you to my friends.

But you know, it’s cool. I’ll live.

You know what else is the best feeling in the world?

When you find out your two friends are officially engaged and are having an engagement party …

And you’re invited!

Sadly, I’m not sure if I’ll make it. I had thoughts of going to Austin with Jenny but leaning towards the not. And if it’s not, I need to find a dress ASAP! Else, I seriously cannot go.

Let’s hope I find a dress because I really would love to make it for them. But it’s so hard for my body to find a dress. Hmph!

To Do List For Tomorrow:

• Go to Finance Lab
• Call Huddle Help Line for FTK
• Go to FTK’s Weekly 2 Hour Meeting
• FIND A FREAKING DRESS!

Sounds easy enough.

Krypto is chilling next to me as I’m writing this. He says hi.

I woke up today with a mission.

To get my package!

It’s been in the front office the past four days and three more days, they would send it back to the UPS or FEDEX or whatever and I would have to drive all the way there to get it. Um .. no thanks.

When I got my package, I was running late so it sat in the trunk of my car while I was in school. The whole time I worked at the Involvement Fair and in class, all I could think about was the package.

I mean, I know what’s in it but it’s always exciting to open a package even when you know what’s inside.

I won this package from Jessica from Lil Miss Runshine who teamed up with Evan Webster to do a giveaway!

Evan wrote a little note and added his little stamp. I want one of those. It makes everything that much more legit.

I won a gym bag. Sahweet, right? Now I don’t have to always use my high school athletics bag. I’ve been meaning to get a new one and now, it’s here on my “doorstep”. It’s the right size to go work out with or for a sleepover.

My tee. I really love the material of these shirts. It’s like those sweat wicking kind of textures. It feels so soft and cold across your skin. Mmm … perfect! And look at the front and back details! Gorgeous. Cannot wait to wear this!! If I remember correctly, it glows in the dark. How awesome!

I forgot it came with some Gu as well!!! Lemon Sublime. Mint Chocolate. Tri-Berry.

I’m on Gu overload over here!

Thank you to Jess and Evan!! You guys are terrific!!

This is the last package I’ll be getting for a long time. I don’t think anyone’s that lucky to win so many giveaways in one month’s time.

Obviously this post took too long for me to write (a good 10 minutes) that Krypto has knocked out. Ridiculous.

I think I might just follow suit …. it’s been a long day.

Jenny went to visit my family in Houston for Labor Day weekend along with my brother and Tammy.

Yeah, didn’t want to tell you in case someone is creeping and is wanting to stalk me.

She came back today and brought Krypto! He’s staying with us for the week.

And Jenny brought back some of the things from my house.

One including a package from Mallory from Sit for your job. Run for your life. She had a giveaway a while back and I was one of the winners for sending her a healthy recipe!

Excitement!!

It came with a cute little note! 7 Blueberry Pomegranate Gu! 2 Vanilla Bean Gu! 11 Jet Blackberry Gu!

I was so surprised. I didn’t know she would give away THAT much for one person. I was thinking maybe like 10 per person! So generous! Thanks Mallory!!

**************************************

I do have another package still at the front office. I didn’t get home till after they closed. I guess I’ll have to try again tomorrow. I think I know what it is.

Really really need to study but I’m sitting here … not doing so. Going to relax some more.
