Hello everyone!
So I did it! I finally got "new" hair! I went to The Hive beauty collective in SLO and I really loved the place. The salon was designed and decorated perfectly mid-century with unique honeycomb touches. The reason I wanted to make my appointment at The Hive was mainly becuase they are an Eco friendly salon and use only natural products and non- ammonia hair colour. I'm trying really hard to grow my hair out and i can't have damaging colour messing up my progress! My stylist was sweet and concise. I really like the honey highlights she gave me under my top crown of hair. This way, wherever my hair falls there is a touch of bight honey that leaks out of the chocolate brown colour. It's lovely. And now I know that its not SO scary going to get my hair done. Luckily I had my supportive boyfriend holding my hand throughout it. I really am such a big baby when it comes to change, but I'm happy I made the plunge. Perhaps next time I will do something even more dramatic. Who knows!

:)

Thank you to Persunmall for these astrology earrings! I gifted them to my sister for her birthday after this post becuase they reminded me of Sailor Moon, whom, my sister adores. haha

Also thank you to Oasap for my school girl, navy skirt! I have a feeling I'm going to get so much use out of this swingy skirt this fall! Its such a perfect vintage colour!

XOXO,

Michelle

 Thank you to Galaxy leggings.com for this indigo, trippy galactic dress. I love this print because its so muti-dimensional. You can scan it's details for a sustained period of time, discovering each star and nebula just as if it was a photograph of space itself. Plus the colours flow in and out of each other so beautifully.

Lately, I havent felt pretty. Not that I think I'm a horribly ugly sludge creature of the universe (no galactic pun intended) but I'm feeling like I need a change. The last major change I made was dying my natural blonde hair to brown when I was 15 after a bad breakup. And the last minor change I think I made was doing my winged liner when I was 18/19. OH and I cut my bangs when I was 19 and that was prettty scary for me. haha. I spent at least two ears before that saying.. should I do it?

 SO I made my first hair colour appointment in YEARS for next Wednesday. It's funny becuase I know I hate change but something you just feel like you have to make one. Hopefully I will like my new head of hair and won't feel ridiculous.

What do you guys do when you need a beauty change?

XOXO,

Michelle

I'm am getting BEYOND stoked for the holiday season. Oh my gosh. 

Halloween decorations everywhere, that feeling of fall approaching, almost less warm weather. I can't wait. There is a bottle of body wash in my shower that thoroughly describes the feeling of Christmas on its label (leave it to philosophy to literally spell out how you should feel when using their products) and let's just say I get really excited when I'm washing my hair re-re-re-reading that bottle.

You should understand that Ive waited 9 months for Christmas to be three months away. 

I think make that calculation every month. 

Thank you to Oasap for my cute, bright and flirty skater skirt!

XOXO,

Michelle

 I've been thinking about about things lately. Simple, tangible objects we surround ourselves with and use constantly in our everyday lives. things that we collect, cherish, forget we have, useless, useful, big, small, old, new things.  They always say things don't matter, but they do. They really do. These are pieces of our lives that we collect throughout the years and each one is connected to a time or a feeling we once had or felt. Things aren't everything, but they are SOMETHING. They are important and sometimes even vital. I'm not very sentimental over objects. I can give away a childhood toy easily or things I simply have no interest in, but everything has meant something, even a small something

That's why we keep boxes of trinkets and papers and charms. I was looking through some jewelry boxes recently and I found my little treasures when when I was young. They were filled with marbles, gemstones, rocks, broken pieces of bracelets, shiny things, and lisa frank stickers. These things were special or pretty enough for me to keep and keep all these years. Whether we see it or not things define a lot of who we are and how we were made that way.

Speaking of "things" thank you to Oasap.com for sending me this delightful cat skirt!

I adore the kitty's vacant stare. It's just the best.

XOXO,

Michelle
