I'm going to lose a finger!!!!

So, after a crazy 3 day weekend, I wake up this morning with my finger the size of a melon! I've been wearing this ring all week, but for some reason this morning.. .. My finger blew up!!! Let me show you.

(Sara inserts picture.)

And then.. While I'm being a drama queen, I frantically call my sister Michelle who is a nurse, and she doesn't answer. So I skip to Plan B. I call my father, he tells me to go to a jeweler. So, I look up a Jeweler in Studio city. And when I get there, there is a sign on the door. CLOSED ON MONDAY.

ARE you KIDDING me? Who closes on Monday? My finger will fall off. . . And as I hop back in my car, my girlfriends and I remember that my GPS is back at the apartment. And getting lost in Los Angeles trying to save my finger doesn't sound like a good plan... SOOOOo.. We go back, find my GPS, and hit up a mall. After about an hour of torture, the jeweler gets it off my finger. I was too embarrased of the swelling to take a picture right after, but I took one about half hour later... Haha. Here is the final result. THANKYOU MALL JEWELER! :) THE ONE BY SEARS IN BURBANK. :) Ha.

But now we have to back up.. to where I woke up this morning... This morning... I woke up, in a 4-man tent, in the living room, of my apartment!! haha. Me and Anna and Amanda had this great idea to get out of L.A. for the 3 day weekend, so we planned this camping trip. . . So Sunday Afternoon.. We get up and drive to Big Tujunga Mountain. We had planned to camp at this campsite called Rancho Ybarro. So we arive at Rancho Ybarro, and it's this crazy Christian camp, with dorms, and tennis courts, and a whole bunch of people staring at us like we don't belong.

So here I am, the genius me. Being from the good ol mountains of Utah, "Oh, lets just go up the mountain a little bit, surely there is another campsite". . And after about an hour of windy road, picnic tables, day camps, an army bootcamp, and camping trails. We find nothing. The closest thing we found was a campsite you have to LITERALLY hike to. You have to hike up the mountain two miles to a campsite. WTF where am I? Haha, so we give up, and it's like 3 o clock so we didn't want to keep driving, So.. we went back to Glendale and pitched a tent in my living room. Where we proceeded to cook Hot Dogs. :) And by the way.. Hot dogs in and of themselves is a story. PEOPLE HERE THINK ITS NOT NORMAL TO ROAST A HOT DOG OVER A FIRE. I told them that's what normal people do when they camp. . But nooooooooooo.. apparently IM the crazy one. And then we Roasted Marshmellows over a CANDLE.. Yes, A candles. YES. We did, and YES it worked. And then we watched 13 ghosts, and told scary stories. :) haha.

Good weekend! :)

Everything is crazy here. Friday Night I decided that I could not handle IN-N-OUT, BURGER KING, and CARLS JR, any freaking more. So I decided we would drive the 25 minutes to get me to normal WENDYS! Oh, how I miss WENDYS.. Well, as we got closer to WENDYS, there are all these cops all over. Search light helicopters in the sky. And Cops just everywhere. Which is semi-normal in L.A. but this was a little overboard.. And finally. When I'm almost there, one more turn and I'm at WENDYS, surely I find... A PROTEST! I found the Proposition 8 protesters who have been there all week!!! Hundreds of thousands of people.. Which I mean is cool.. It's sad Prop 8 passed, but all I wanted was WENDYS!! haha. And surely they couldn't open a WENDYS with the streets like that! Too bad I didn't have my camera.

RAIN!

So, it rained for the first time here last week, and I was the HAPPIEST person ever. I made Anna run around in it with me.. WE GOT SOAKED!!!

And yes, this picture is awful, but you must see!!!

Haha, and here is a picture of me on Halloween, I was Marilyn Monroe. We walked up and down Santa Monica Blvd. There was hundreds of thousands of people, and it was crazy. I didn't have my camera though, so these are crappy pictures from my phone! :( Sad. But it was fun, people kept wanting pictures with me!

I decided I want to buy a Yorkie, so if you see a cheap one, let me know! I decided I get to have a yorkie!!! :) eee!

And then last but not least, I'll post some MakeUp pictures for you. Just random Makeup. I need to start bringing my camera to school more!! This is a peacock inspired Make-Up I had to do, and then there is like a candy cane makeup application I did on Jasmine, she did mine...

Anyway, I blogged entirely too much for today. Miss and Love you all!

Halloween! :)

This is Amanda, and this was my professional Make-Up final. I took this picture with my camera on my phone, so you can't see the detail.. but it was really good. The object was to make her look glamorous. :)

And this is a demonstration of Highlight/Contour. It is a make-up artists secret. basically, the spots that are lightened are where you should lighten your face, and the spots that are dark are where you should darken your face. :) This is an overexaggerated version, but you get the point.

This is Madison, our assignment for this was to listen to our client, and do something that would make them feel their best. So in conjuction to listening to her, and doing my own thing, this is what we ended up with. Kinda cool. IDK.

This is Anna, I took this picture with my camera phone too, so you can't really see the make-up. It was pretty though. This was for our hair final. Our assignment was to do the make-up and hair of someone in our class. This is what she ended up with. :) It was beautiful, I got an A, and I was proud. :) haha.

Someone tagged me for like the second folder first photo or something like that, so here, this is Kelly and I at great life.

As for me, not too much is new, I am just extremely focused in school. We start our photoshoots for our portfolios the day before Thanksgiving break, and I want to be prepared. Money is tight, so I'm excited to get back home, and be able to actually be able to make some money instead of just spending it. . .

I got a card from my family, it was super cute! Thanks guys! I miss and love you all! :)

Umm.. I don't know, not too much else to say, I'm excited for Halloween!! :) More pictures to come! :)

Make-Up. :)

I eat, drink, and sleep Make-Up. I literally go to bed and dream about putting Make-Up on other people!! Then I wake up and do it all over again. It's so crazy. I still don't have a job yet, but, a lady I am going to school with is going to recommend me for a position at her work. :) Yay. It's really hard being broke.

These pictures are some Make-Up I did the second week of class. You can't really see the details but it was some pretty cool Make-Up. :) I'm excited to get my portfolio and stuff! :) It's so much fun, and I can't wait to get out there!!!!

We went out to Venice Beach last weekend.. That was crazy. There was a bum, sitting in a trash can holding a sign saying "I'm not going to lie, I need money for weed." There was also a lot of Rap Artists trying to get us to buy their music. People in thongs, ya know.. typical Californians. I also saw a sign saying "I kissed a girl and I liked it, and then I went to hell." That was in front of a church. Lol!!!

I've been pretty busy, but I've been having a lot of fun. I really miss my family and friends though!!! I think i'm going to take some pictures for one of those tagged things and then post another blog, so for now.. Have a good day!!! :) Love.!

First two weeks in LA.

I finally know where north is!!! :) It feels like it should be west, but if I remember that the way that feels west is north I'm golden!! Haha.

Kasey and I did a lot of exploring. We went to China town (above), which wasn't all that great. We went to Rodeo drive, (which is where all the stars shop and stuff), and we went to Beverly Hills. We went to Fashion City, which is just stores and stores for miles.. There is soo much shopping here it is insane. We have also been all up and down Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard. The most famous person I have seen is Dolly Parton. She was at a Dolly Parton art show on Hollywood Boulevard.

I have been trying, really hard with no luck to find a job. Everything has a specific time, usually Monday or Tuesday between two to four when they accept applications. Which is dumb. So it's hard to like be there at the right time. And it's only going to be harder once I start school Monday.

However, I am super excited to start school. I feel like a bum just sight seeing and stuff. I don't know how people can not work or have jobs.. I am going uber stir crazy. I still don't have my camera, but when I get it I will take pictures of the apartment and such, and answer that tagged thing that Stephanie sent me. :) But yeah, that's about all I can think of at the moment..

Moving In!!!

Hi all.
So I just barely got all my stuff moved in, and finished helping Kasey move her stuff in too. I don't have a bed yet, because my bed doesn't get delivered until tommorow. WTF? ha. That's okay I can sleep on the floor. The drive here wasn't too bad. We stopped in Vegas and stayed on the freaking 60th floor of Mandalay Bay in a penthouse suite. It was so high up. It was like stratosphere high status.
I don't have a lot of time because I have got to get ready to go out tonight. Today is Kasey's birthday and we are going to have a blast!!! :) Her parents are here with us still, we are thinking about going out on Sunset Boulevard (in like downtown Hollywood) and going to dinner. She is vegetarian, but apparently over the weekend some of her girlfriends convinced her to try sushi for the first time in her life and she liked it, so yayyyy. Sushi buddy. :) Anyway. I'll add pictures and write more later.
Love and miss ya'll.
:)

I promised my lovely sister Michelle I would make a blog, so here it is!

I am going to a Make-Up artistry school in Hollywood, California this fall, so I have just been packing up and getting ready to go. I leave on Sunday. I am really excited to experience new culture, learn new things, and get a jump-start on a new life. However I am going to really miss my family, and my friends.

Other than that, not much is new with me as of now...
