I finished school at ARROJO Cosmetology last month. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. We were trained to work in high end salons in NYC, which is really cool. For our final project/fashion show, we had to create a mood board. I used Dale Chihuly's art as my inspiration. For those of you who don't know who he is, he is a famous blown glass artist. Look him up, his work is amazing.
Anyway, my final project turned out okay, but not as well as I had hoped. I had never dealt with putting in extensions, so the braid I had invisioned did not turn out as expected due to how the extensions had to be glued in (I only highlighted the model's hair to give it a natural look, no color. The color is the extensions). It was fun and gave me a lot of knowledge to build upon. I look forward to learning and creating more. Here is a picture of my model...
We went to see Nick and Kim in Rhode Island and had a ton of fun. My favorite part was the apple picking. We had so much fun trying all the different apples. We decided that our favorites were the Empire and Liberty apples. Collette even liked them. Going apple picking made me really want a garden. I want to look into community gardens. It would be fun to grow our own things as well as educational.
We went to Florida for Christmas. It was so much fun. We stayed at a condo on the beach in St. Petersburg. This was the ideal place for collecting shells. In the morning when the tide was low was the best time for collecting shells. Unfortunately a lot of the big beautiful shells we found still had animals inside of them, so I could not bring myself to killing them, well... except for one whose shell was too huge to pass up. We boiled him out of his shell.
