Just a random picture of the day! I started a new professional blog this week (www.mssalame.wordpress.com) and it made me miss my VERY neglected personal blog! I’m pretty sure I’ve lost all of my readers by now, but if anyone is still out there, just know that I plan to write more this summer, which coincidentally starts on Friday. :) Yay!!

I’m IN LOVE with the newest addition to the Dallas skyline. My heart swoons every time I drive past it on my way home. Just beautiful. And it looks like the opening night/ weekend was truly magical!

Eyelash Update

I tried eyelash extensions twice and although I LOVE the look of fake lashes on me, I won’t be getting them again for a couple of reasons.

1st- They are expensive! I got them on a valentines/ february sale for $100, but typically it cost $250+. 

2nd- My lashes hold fake lashes as well as my hair holds curl. Boo! to my straight, slippery hair. Both times my lashes lasted about a week. 

3rd- The process of getting them put on is really not that comfortable. First, my eyes twitch like no other when they are taped open and they aren’t supposed to be moving. (Ok, they only tape the bottom- but still kind of wierd) It took a while to calm them down. Also, the glue that they use has a really strong scent so after sitting there for an hour it really started to hurt my sinuses. I don’t know how that lady does that everyday.

4th- If I can’t have them all the time, then what’s the point. Maybe for a wedding or special occasion they would be worth it, sometime where you’ll be buying pictures, but day-to-day, I’m not fooling anybody. One day I have long lashes, another day I don’t. It’s fun, but not really something that I could maintain, so who cares. 

After all of that said, I did really like them! They were SO beautiful! In my last post I said I’m not a jealous person, but if I meet someone with real giant lashes, that could probably stir up my green side! (but only for a second) :)

Summer Streets - About Summer Streets

I am thinking of spending at least a month of my summer in New York City! I LOVE Manhattan and have always wanted to live there. Plus, I have wonderful friends in the city and I know it would be a blast! But, since everyone I know there has a job during the summer, I’ll need to entertain myself on the cheap! Im starting my lookout for free things to do in the city during the summer! Can’t wait to find my sublet so I know what part of town I’ll be in!! Here is the first cool event I came across. . I’ll definitely be up for this!

Round two of the eyelashes! Some of you lucky people got to see my first attempt at lash extensions live and in-person last week. Unfortunately, that attempt was an epic fail! 1st, I showered the next morning (not quite reaching the 24 hour avoidance of water) and 2nd, they were a little too long and heavy for my real lashes so they felt very noticeable to me. The combination of these issues led to my lashes falling out all too soon and the remaining ones I just took off myself. But I’m never one to give up on something promising too easily, so I decided to try again from scratch. I went in today and had new lashes put on, these are shorter and less curved than the last and I have a feeling they are going to work! They feel 100% more natural- I don’t notice them at all! Plus, tonight I managed to shower (kind of) and wash my hair without wetting my eyes. (Dont ask!) Oh, the things I do for beauty! I actually love trying out new beauty trends. This is actually a pic I took while walking into my building from the garage. Thats why it looks shady! :) But aren’t you impressed at my ability to multi-task so well?! I think this pic kinda sorta shows you the lashes… What do ya think?
