so...we crashed a wedding. #9

So, as has been mentioned, Kelsey and I are doing a summer bucket list where we cross off all the shenanigans we cook up! #9 on the list is crash a wedding. On Saturday, we went swimming at the community club house and low and behold, there was a sign up saying there was going to be a wedding that night. And since we have 'crash a wedding' on our summer bucket list, we took this as a perfect opportunity. And anything that we've written on the list we HAVE to do. or else. couldn't tell ya what 'or else' leads to but I for sure do nawt want to have to find out. It's better to just abide by the list. Anyways, here are some photos and a video for #9

we signed the guest book. we HAD to. you can't crash a reception and ignore the guest book. These people have to know they've officially been Cr@sH3d.

We got a photo. another proof that we didn't even make this up. We asked a fellow guest to take our photo and he DIDN'T even ask how we knew the bride and/or groom. We had even cooked up a little story on how we 'knew' them (just in caseeeee, ya know??) nothin. 

And lastly, here is a quick video on our experience. It's worth watching the entire 3 minutes, I promise! well, kels and I like it. probs cause we're in it. #divalife

OH ps today is kelsey's BIRTHDAY! so happy birthday ya goon! love you tons. and thanks a mill for being the best roommate I've ever had since I've existed. not even kidding. b.e.s.t. little 21 year old in da houseeee! k. love. bye. ya little sweetie.

That time I put brown in my hair. aka pictures for days.

So I did  it! The wonderful Stephanie Mills read my mind and colored my hair exactly how I wanted. I decided overall I wanted a melt/ombre with some highlights thrown in. If you're not sure what a melt is, basically it means your hair is one color and it melts into another color. Melts are so the coloring in your hair looks more natural instead of having a blunt line where you color your hair and above it is the natural color aka your roots. So my hair is brown at the top and melts into blonde now! cha cha check it out:

So there you have it, pics on pics! That coloring is after 2 washes so it will fade a little more into what my natural color is aka dirty blonde. Staying true to the whole "I wanna grow my hair rapunzel long soooooo bad" thing, I knew drastic measures (going ombre) had to be done. This way, I don't have to use as much bleach as I did before when I touch up my roots! I'll just throw in a couple highlights instead of going crazy pretty much pouring bleach over my entire head.  My hair was also starting to look wayyyy too bright for my taste. It's weird seeing brown weaved into my hair but it's cool and I like it! If you live in AZ and are lookin for a rockin hair stylist, email me and we'll hook you up with Steph stat. 

This was supposed to be my bridesmaid outfit

Skirt, necklace, & wedges charlotte russe shirt: forever21

Once upon a time my best friend cousin was getting married and I was a bridesmaid. So of course I went out and purchased an outfit. and a plane ticket.  and my hopes were sky high. and then school got the best of my life and finals were the weekend of her wedding. So now I have this swanky new outfit and I missed my baby girls wedding! This post is a little belated, but Kaes was a gorgeous bride, as pictures never lie, and I am so bummed I had to cater to my 'education' and stay behind to take finals. Love you little lady!

kissing my blonde goodbye.

so on saturday i'm changing my hair completely. not length wise, don't even worry. I would never. Anyways, I am going to try to go back to my natural hair color aka dirty blonde with some added highlights almost a melt type thing. Here, I can show you better than i can tell you. These two are my hair inspirations for this transition:

so yeah. basically that ^^^

I'm sick and tired of my super blonde locks and I really want to try a change! PLUS if I'm more my natural, that means less having to retouch my roots and damage the hair I want to grow soooo baddly. The only part I'm worried about is that it will look terrible and I will have to re-damage my hair to get it back to what it is now. The struggle, my friends. I at least vow to keep it for like 2 months if I hate it. But I don't think I will. I think it will just take some getting used to. 

If I changed it back like a week after because I was a baby and couldn't handle it, trya might get all up in my grill. and we just can't have that.

nanny diaries. funny happenings #78

So quick fill in- I'm a nanny to two sweet little boys, Ryder who is 3 years old & Hayes who is 1 years old. Ryder pronounces my name "Dandace" without fail every time he has ever said my name. The other day, his mom texted me this "Ryder and I were looking at a picture of you and I said 'look! It's dandace!' and Ryder looked up at me like I was some idiot and said 'it's CANdace'." hahaha I died at that. 

andddd here is one of our latest 'games' where Ryder asks me to "guess what" 9 million times and never actually tells me what. hahah makes long car rides real fun :)

bitter.

 Sweet title, huh? Everyone loves an emotion packed blog post right? (siiike) so, if you're not into feelings and rants, then I would say this is not the blog post for you. First of all, I'd like to send a personal shout out to T-swift and Demi  for catering to my life soundtrack lately. I swear the girl steals my journal and writes all those sweet hits. First of all, I revoke the whole "hate the player not the game" bull shiz.  as embellished upon in this blog post. To embellish on that, and excuse me if I sound like a big fat brat, BUT the whole babe pool in dating can jump off a cliff. If I'm interested in a boy, he dips quick, or I'm not interested in a boy and they refuse to believe it. (see, that was pretty much brat status right there) Here's some food for thought- has anyone heard of this bro code business?? I have a friend who is also friends with a boy who recently decided to spoon feed me some sweet nothings and then disappear real quick. Anyways (and let's face it, it's probably some easy excuse) but apparently our friendship (strictly friends, no other interest do not worry) has to be under wraps because said boy would get angry if I am friends with his friend. UM HI you spit me out and stomped on my face (not literally, just figuratively, don't worry), so I'm going to befriend whoever I want. But yeah, that's just a sweet taste into the whole 'dating' thing as of late. Sorry for going all high school diz-rama on you but I'm bitter and angry blog posts are what I do. The spoon fed sweet talk is old news and I don't really give a rats about said boy anymore but this bro code crap was brought up real recently and it bugged me. k? sorry I'm a human being and also sorry I'm a girl and also sorry I have feelings.

So yeah, I'd have to say that little rant is a whole lot better than whatever reality tv show you are watching right now cause it isn't even scripted.

rant over. 

you need this in your life, if anything.

basically demi lovato's new cd is bomb. but for real. So I am going to play the good Samaritan here and introduce you (if you aren't already blessed with an introduction) to some of the tunes on her new album. blast these in your car, sit back, and love your life so so much.
