Tips to Know Before Getting a Bob Haircut

My Curled Bob

I been having so much fun playing around with my new bob. This is my bob curled for a birthday party I attended last weekend! I love the look. Reminds my of a vintage flapper, don't ya think? :)

 

  

My New Bob Haircut!

So on the last day of May I decided to chopped my hair off and by this I mean get a bob. I been wanting to get a bob for so long, but it was never the right moment to get it. I was planning on getting it the week of my birthday, but I didn't. My plan was when I get this haircut I wanted to feel change. In order for that to have worked I needed to finish everything of the old first. So I decide to cut it up after I graduate high school to get that feeling of a new start in life. They say the best way for a girl to feel new is to get a new haircut. I did not cry when they cut up my long locks; one I had this in my mind for a long time. And ombre needed to go! I loved it, but I got a job as a swimming teacher and there really would not have been a point to having my tips done again. I also wanted to go back to short hair again. My last short bob was when I was probably in 4th-5th grade. In the past I had my hair cut, but not as a short bob. I' am so glad that I waited for the right moment because I truly feel more fresh and new. I recommend  anyone a new haircut if they need a change. Even if it's not something big like a big cut. It could maybe just be dying the ends of your hair a certain color or getting bangs. I truly believe you'll feel something.

Puppies Find a Home

To the Dog Lovers,
I' am so happy to have found wonderful homes for the puppies! Here are some pictures of the puppies with their happy new owners! It was a great experience to have raised these puppies and see them grow. They grow up so fast! It was sad seeing them go, but it also gave me a proud feeling knowing that they would grow up in a family that would love them.

 Here's a video I made showing all their first steps to their last. I think its a good idea to make these types of videos when you want to save a moment forever in your heart.

Congratulations CLASS OF 2015!

  In my four years of high school I have failed, succeeded, and learned. Each year was filled with new experiences, new people, and new lessons. I still remember my first day of high school; I even remember what I wore! I have lived amazing memories that I will never forget and that have shaped me into who I'am today.  

CLASS OF 2015! WE DID IT!

 

From here we start a new chapter of our life. I do not know what to expect in this new chapter, but I think that's a good thing. We will take a new path into our futures and learn new things. It may be sad to leave good memories behind, but it is only the beginning of a new adventure in our life. We are strong; believe in your dreams and never give up. I wish best of luck to everyone. Congratulations to all the graduates of Class of 2015! We made it! Hooray!!!

Puppy Love

To the Dog Lovers, 
So my dog poodle, Moppy, had recently been pregnant back in February and gave birth to six beautiful puppies. With two boys and four girls. Sadly one girl died because it was too weak. This was Moppy's second time being pregnant, her first litter were six also and all of them survived. My poor Moppy though, I must say she is a trouper, being 45 in dog years. She was exhausted after giving birth, but then happy to see her children. 

When Moppy was Pregnant Selfie.

After Moppy Gave Birth. 

Now the puppies are three months old and they are playing all over the place. They are so fluffy and cute I want to cuddle them up. The two boy puppies are the most playful and the girls are more loving. Even though they are soon destine to find a brand new home I took the liberty to name them. The two boys names are Cafe and Tyrone. The girls names are Sprinkles, Sweetie, and Curly. Its really interesting to see them grow because they each have their own personality. Like Cafe and Tyrone are always playfully growling at each other. Curly is the puppy who hides and is the most scared out of all. And Sprinkles and Sweetie are the most friendly and like to lick a lot. So far the boys have homes already where they will meet their new family, but the girls are yet to be adopted. I sure hope they find new homes though soon. When Moppy had her first litter we kept one girl and named her Laika. Laika loves being a big sister, she is always cleaning up after her siblings and she likes helping Moppy bathe them.       

Hmm your hand tastes good!

Hi my name's Tyrone!

The sisters Sprinkles and Sweetie are playing. 

Nap time! Shhh!

Who would say no to this face?

Puppy burrito!

They are growing up to fast and I know I'll miss them. Hopefully the girls have a home soon too because it takes a lot of time to be able to care for a dog. All in all though it is nice to have some puppy love around. Sometimes we all get lonely at times and seeing them makes my day.

You Are my Sunshine!

Hello my Sunshines! 

So far it's been getting sunny in the Windy City. Mother Nature has finally decided to give us some warm decent weather. Though there has been lots of rain. But I suppose that's normal because we are in April. And you know the old saying, April showers bring May flowers. 

   

So with Spring here I have been busy trying to style some outfits for this lovely season. This outfit is inspire our beautiful star; the sun. I decide to in cooperate warm colors into this. I wanted it to have shades of orange and yellow. This OOTD (Outfit of the day.) is great for sunny days or walking down your nearest mini boutiques. When people look at this I want them to get a garden vibe sense. Spring is when fresh blooms finally start to appear from their long dark hibernation. Enjoy it while it last, take a walk and smell the flowers. Hope all of you enjoy the sunshine.

A Lovely Movie

Hello Beautifuls!

  Lately in my life I have fallen in love with this wonderful movie called, Love Rosie. Lucky for you because today I will be talking about the movie, my thoughts, and life lessons I learned from this movie. Love Rosie has become one of my favorite romantic movies, I'm definitely putting it on my list. Now before I start talking about the movie, just know there is a book to this too. The book is written by Cecelia Ahern. I have not read the book yet, but I plan on reading it and when I do I will make a book review on it. 

"Love, Rosie"

The Movie:   
  (Before you read this, please know some spoilers may happen.) So where should I start? The main reason I truly believe is how I fell in love with this movie was by the characters. So let me lay it all down for you lovely dolls before I start confusing everyone here. So there's two main characters, Rosie, who is played by Lily Collins(who by the way has such beautiful eyebrows!) and Alex, who is played by Sam Claflin(who is quite dashing!) ;) So Rosie and Alex are best friends, the movie takes place between their teens to adult life's. Alex and Rosie have a plan to go off to college and dorm after high school. But the plan doesn't work out because Alex only goes but not Rosie. Now the reason why she doesn't go is because Rosie becomes pregnant, which by the way she doesn't tell Alex about, but he does eventually find out. So the whole part of the movie has a true real question. Are they meant to be just friends or more than friends. By the end of the movie they know that they are meant to be but life is always getting in between. Don't worry I won't spoil the ending for you guys but I must say it is truly such an amazing story to be told. 

My Thoughts:
  I just love this movie so much! The characters in this movie are absolutely an inspiration. The story plot is great. I liked how this was a best friend relationship, then seeing it progress to a love relationship. This speaks the truth in all relationships. When counting on someone in a relationship, it is like your counting on a best friend. Being in a best friend level can have so much more of a benefit to the relationship. In the movie there's this scene where  Alex is about to leave and him and Rosie are at the airport saying their goodbyes. Now this scene spoke to me. In this scene Rosie and Alex are about to kiss, but they don't. This is a very important part to me in the movie because that scene showed me at that moment how they both truly felt about each other. They both had passed that level of best friends. And I knew from that moment that they were going to embrace this forward on.

My favorite part in this movie!!!!

 

Life Lessons:

  So to end this I will tell you what I have learn from this beautiful movie. One of the very first things that I learned is that having a relationship that offers having a best friend is really important. I believe this because a relationship is more than just the physical stuff, it requires friendship in order to understand one another. Rosie and Alex shared such great friendship in this movie that even though they dated other people at certain times in the movie, those people never understood each other quite well as they did towards one another. Another thing that I learn is to follow your heart, as cheesy as this sounds it is true. In the movie Alex and Rosie both listen to their hearts and have these deep emotions that they know they are meant for each other. And last but not least to follow your dreams, in the movie Rosie had a dream to own her own hotel and even though throughout the other years she wasn't with Alex; she didn't give up. Rosie showed that even though she wasn't very happy with her love life at that moment she still didn't let it bother her and achieve that dream to make herself happy. Never give up on anything! Even when you have a kid like Rosie did, because she never gave up. I hope you guys enjoyed this movie review and at least check it out! It's a lovely story to tell. Now to finish it up I will leave you with the trailer so that you can check it out.  

Xoxo, Lizzie

Sweet February Outfits

Hello Lovelys, 
Hope your February is going sweet as candy. These are some OOTDs I styled for this month. I hope you get inspiration from it and enjoy this pink month. For the ladies this style is going more on the boho and girl side. For the gentlemen, since 50 Shades of Gray, the movie, did come out on Valentine's Day for this month I decided to go for that theme. Feel free to comment below your thoughts on these. :)

Talent Show Ballerinas!

Dear Beautifuls,

So me and my twin sister, Laura, performed at our school's talent show this year. We danced ballet to the song Keep Breathing, by Ingrid Michaelson. I'm glad to say this was the best performance I felt I put my soul into. By this I mean I felt one with the music. This song is really important to me and speaks a message for everyone. I remember before we went out to perform I was nervous and at the beginning at our dance, but once we continued longer I felt emotional to the music and I just let everything out. I felt powerful and FREE. Once the music was over I felt as if though all my negative energy and burdens were gone. Now to some of you this may sound weird, but its like this; weather your a dancer, painter, bakery, or any creator of anything, you're creating something, but not just anything, you're incorporating a part of your life into it. And that's when you feel most passionate for it.

Chilly January

Hello Beautifuls, 

Imagine walking through the city's snowy wonderland, while heading to get some delicious hot chocolate. Today's outfits are fun to pick from. Either go with the more hipster comfy look and feel more within your inner boho. Not into the bohemian look? No probably, pick the second outfit which includes an edgy taste and street look. These outfits are fun to play around with and remake, by using different pieces that still resemble the same style. I hope you loveys got an idea or got inspired. Make sure to try any of these outfits and let your inner fashion come out. 

X0x0, Lizzie  

Flying into a New Year!

   There comes a time in life where we're all just wanting to be freshly planted seeds; become newly born butterflies coming out of our cocoons. We all may just refer to this as New Years, but I call it a new chance to be reborn. 

   New Years is a time I like to think logically about my year; all my accomplishments and yes sadly even failures. Thinking about what I should have done and what I shouldn't have. But thinking about all of this shouldn't bother us. Why? Well, because it's in the past. We can't change anything that has past, we DON'T get another chance to redo that moment we wanted to change; ever again. And even though that may be a burden to some of us, we just have to learn to let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Maybe try listening to "Let it go" in Frozen? Maybe you'll get the message. ;) Though we don't get that second chance we do get a new beginning, and this is what I do know. 

   Things happen for a reason, and even though you may just say you don't believe in that quote, you shouldn't debate whether you believe or not; just know it does. Because things happen for a reason whether we like it or not, there's this quote by Marilyn Monroe that I think everyone should read.  
  

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

   We all want to take out a blank canvas and start all over again. And this is what a new year has to offer. Let's just take a moment and forget about every mistake that we made that made us into who we are. It's time for a change! It's time for us to take a leap into the world! Whether it be traveling somewhere new, trying something new you never known you love, or even just deleting a bad flaw. 
  
 Life is beautiful. And sometimes we seem to forget that because of all our problems in life. We just need a moment to take a breath. Have fun in life and learn how to shake off your troubles. Never let yourself surrender to your negative feelings, because you can conquer a new start in anything you set your mind into. Ah, and at last this just leaves me to New Year Resolutions. We all have New Year Resolutions, even when people say they don't, in secrecy they keep in mind about what they want for their new year to come. 

   
   But New Year Resolutions are never quite successfully completed. This is a new start and don't forget it! Don't turn lazy and forget about completing your resolutions. New Year Resolutions are just goals to me, if that's an easier way to look at it. Here are some tips to accomplish your resolutions for the new year:

• Write down your goals on paper, whether it be on a journal. Write down what you plan to accomplish this year. Also try writing down why because it would give you a reason to attack that goal stronger. 
• Have a supporting team behind you. If you know you're the type of person who gives up have friends encouraging along the way. This makes your goals easier to take on. 
• Don't beat yourself off when failing. Failing is just another reason to keep trying and not give up!
• Check off all your goals you accomplished. Trust me doing this can leave a satisfying feeling. After doing this make more goals! Keep climbing that ladder. 

   Well, I hope all of you beautifuls have an amazing New Years Eve! Reflect on your past, live in your present, and look forward to your future lovelys. I will see you next year.

Have A Thankful Thanksgiving

GOBBLE GOBBLE! 

With Thanksgiving only a few days away I like to take the time to talk about this beautiful holiday today. I love Thanksgiving; from the delicious dinner to the desserts. When I think about this special day I want to be thankful. I feel at times people forget to be grateful for what we have. Always complaining about the tiniest of things when in reality people all over the world others might not have what we do. Such as food; people starving in other countries trying to survive. Shelter; people trying to live of the streets from the cold. Family, orphans around the world who have been abandoned, people whose families have had their family died, only left with themselves. Lonely, its sad. Its an essential for a human to have someone, if you ask me. And you're probably thinking, uh I hate my family, their so annoying! Maybe at times, but they love you, and not everyone gets that. Education, and I see this a bunch of times, kids not caring for their education. Education is not easy to have everywhere. In countries kids are wanting to learn to have a future. In American we have easy access to a future where in other countries probably not. Lets not forget about our health! Health is very important to me! People all over the world are dealing with painful horrible illnesses. So next time you think about faking a cough to get out of school really think about what it means to be sick. Thinking about our essential needs as a human can really makes you realize how grateful we should be when other people in other places don't. Shouldn't everyone have these essentials needs? Don't you agree? I do! So be thankful for your luck! Stop worrying about that strand of hair in the morning and start thinking about those opportunities you get each day. Have a thankful Thanksgiving Lovelys.
