New jobs are new
Day two of the new job has come and gone. Its been pretty good besides how deathly slow it is. Yesterday I did two facials and three brow waxes which would of been rad if all of them but one wax wasnt for fellow employees. Two of them did tip me pretty good so that was really rad. Today though I made zero money and sat there the entire day. I am hoping this doesnt keep up or I am going to have to find another job. Yes I know I have to give it time blah blah.
I have quite a few big bills coming up for my teeth and car which is freaking me out. I have no clue how I am going to pay for it all. OH WELL what happens happens right?!
Tomorrow is Saturday which means work is only from 8am to 3pm. HOORAY!! After that I get 4 days off in which I have quite a few things I need to get caught up on already. The biggest thing is I am getting my teeth fixed on the left side of my mouth on Monday so Im sure I will be in a lot of pain. I havent gone to the dentist in years which apparently is more important then I had thought since I have 7 freaking cavities. And I do take care of my teeth I PROMISE!!!! Do fillings hurt you guys?

New Horizons
Tomorrow I start my new job. I am so freaking out right now. I know it will prolly go really well but its my first time to be the lone esthetician and what happens if I get stuck and Im not sure the answer to something?! This opportunity will be a lot better then Trace Retreat as not only will I have no competition but I have a staff full of hair dressers that will promote me, we will be doing more photoshoots, styling people ANDDD most important I will be getting to do makeup! I can not wait for that as its more of what I want to do. Oh OH and also I only work 3 days a week at first until my clients build up.
Its pretty exciting times right now. As stoked as I am to start tomorrow I will miss not working. I havent been in work since the day after Harry Potter came out and can I just say it has been a dream. I havent had real time off since before I started esthetics school last April so it was much deserved.
I did a ton of stuff the past two weeks to keep me busy, it has encouraged me even more to figure out something to work towards that will remove me from working away from home.
I had a post planned on some more foodie things but my phones not letting me send my pictures to my computer at the moment so Ill try to post those tomorrow when I get off work and I will let you know how my day went.

E courses
Hello quick little post/ question....
Has anyone an e-course ever? I have been looking at A Beautiful Mess and their DIY Dress Up class. It looks like fun and a lot of good information to learn. I really wanna learn how to make clothes more so I thought it would be a good idea. Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone wanna take a class with me? It could be neat!!
Also I entered the AE Best shot contest for Coolest Hipster I kinda did it to be funny since everyone loves to make fun of hipsters but also cause to win would be really rad! If you wouldn't mind voting for me I would be very appreciative and would promote you as well.
Let me know if you vote, Ill love you forever!!!

Fricase de Pollo
Another day another recipe....or something along those lines. Today I decided to make something random that I hadn't ever cooked before so I went to the recipe book, closed my eyes and opened a page. Fricase de Pollo is what I saw first so off to the grocery me and my mom went to collect foods.
Here is what you will need:
4 boneless chicken breasts
1 large tomato
2 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
1 tps dried oregano
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 medium onion
12 pitted green olives
1 tbsp capers
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 bell pepper
2 oz jar pimentos
Now firstly you need to chop up your tomato, garlic, onion, pepper and olives. I used a red pepper and I also used black olives as the green are too salty for me. After you do that put all the ingredients except the pimentos in a dutch oven...or a big pot like I did. Over medium heat, bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Drop the pimentos in and stir it all up. I made basmati rice as well to serve it with. Oh, I also put in a jar of tomato paste to thicken the sauce, I think it adds a little extra something.

Hogwarts will Always be Here for You
This sucks for me to write, I feel a bit weepy already from watching some of the final interviews before getting around to blogger. You may think I am silly but Harry Potter has been a massive part of my life since the very first book came out. I can not even tell how many memories I have surrounding the books/movies.
I remember when either the 4th or 5th book came out and I was like MOM what will I do when there is no more books and what about when the movies have all been made?! (also what i did for LOTR but thats another story) And she calmly said, Kelley by the time that comes about you will be older and over all this, you wont care so much.
The thing is though, she was wrong. It hurts very much, I feel like I lost my best friends. My stomach ached for days before the premiere and I almost didnt want to go just because I knew when it was over there would never be another one. Call me dramatic but I never really saw an end to HP, I definitely didnt ever think of a time when there would no longer be more. It SUCKS!!
We were going to dress up as Daddy Malfoy and Bellatrix but my outfit was too tight for my arms and was cutting off the circulation. We went to the Coolsprings movie theatre, tons of people were dressed up in really rad costumes. They had a two part costume with one kid being Quirrel and another attached to him walking backwards as Voldy also they had kids who dressed up as mandrakes which was HILARIOUS!! We got there almost 2 hrs early so during the wait...in between my own freaking out...kids kept coming in to do duals. It was pretty awesome, I just wanted to live in that moment for ever.
I cried for a good bit of the movie, not because of what was going on really, mostly it was just sadness that this was the last time. Well and there are some really sad parts in the movie too of course. This is coming from the girl who bawled when Hedwig and Dolby died last movie. These characters feel like my family and yes it hurts my heart when they died.
After the movie was over I felt a bit panicy like my childhood was over and I needed to study because the next day something huge was going to happen and I needed to be ready for it. Its bizarre how it made me feel. Does anyone else feel this connected? Were any of you, like me, 11 or 12 when the books came out so you felt like you were growing up with them too?
I never knew I would be so impacted by books but I have been. Im trying to not feel so completely lost...please someone else feel this way or else I am just gonna feel like a weirdo.
Also seeing all these sick HP tattoos is really making me want to finally get the several I have been wanting. Must do it soon!! Share your memories with me??
If this video doesnt make you cry then you arent a fan. BOOOOOO!!

Zucchini Bread
Yesterday I made delicious zucchini bread because I am a cooking fiend. Hopefully yall dont get fed up with all my cooking adventures.
I got this recipe from the ever perfect Paula Dean, Id show you a picture of my cookbook but its really worn and has dripped food all over it haha. This is one of my favorite recipes. Even if you say you can not cook I promise you will be able to make this really easily. Also you can substitute the Zucchini for Pumpkin if you prefer it and still use the same recipe. This makes 2 loaves if you use the small pans, I dont think it really matters too much what you bake it in.
You will need:
Dry Ingredients
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cups sugar
Wet Ingredients
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs (beaten)
2/3 cups water
2 cups Zucchini
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Now with the zucchini I used 3 large ones and it ended up making a little over 4 cups which is why I made so many loaves and the recipe calls for grated zucchini which is hard to do so I just throw it in the food processor. In baking it seems like you can just mess with stuff, you dont really have to be exact. Oh and my mom takes the skin off when she makes it. I dont which makes it really green so do whatever you want.
Anyways put the oven on 350 degrees. First mix all the dry ingredients together then mix the wet ones separately. After you do this fold the wet into the dry until its mixed really well. Then all that's left is to put them into the pans and cook for an hour. Make sure and stick a tooth pick into them to make sure they are done all the way through. Dont worry as you can see it makes a mess but that is part of the fun.
