Finally Friday....

I have never done the Five on Friday link up so I decided I might as well today! Hope you're all having a great week, the weather is sunny here today so I'm a very happy camper! Lets get on with this Five on Friday stuff!

1. I'm in post concert depression! I have been listening to a playlist I have created of the concert set list and I just really want it to be Sunday again because it was such an amazing day. 

2. This week has flown by! I can't believe it is Friday already. This is probably because of the concert being on Sunday and just didn't feel like Sunday and then recovery mode on Monday and Tuesday wasn't helpful haha

3. I got tickets for Sarah MacLachlan's tour! It is like 194 days away but nice to know I have tickets and I have plans in November haha Sad thing I haven't bought her new album yet! It came out on Tuesday but I haven't taken the time to get it but I will of course.

4. I'm really excited for Sunday because we are celebrating my dad's birthday and mother's day with a nice meal of lobster! It will be the first time we are having lobster this season. So yummy! 

5. I won't lie I'm going to go now and watch more youTube videos from the concert! This is the only way I can get through my post concert depression! 

And before I leave you I have to link up with my girl Whitney for #backthatazzup Friday!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

So I Met the Backstreet Boys....Again

A weekend update on Wednesday? Sure why not! I really meant to get this up yesterday but I was battling some major post concert blues! And lets be honest I was super tired since I didn't get much sleep on Sunday night and Monday wasn't a great day for sleep either. But anyways, on with the weekend update well more just Sunday!

On Sunday was the day I had been waiting for since like March 19th or something when the tickets went on sale for BSB. After night a restless sleep on Saturday night (yes, I was kinda excited) I got up and had to do my hair twice! Then I headed off to Halifax to finish getting ready with my friends before heading to the sound check. The friends I was with were friends I had made because of our love for Backstreet Boys and finally having all of us together to experience this was amazing. The sound check was great as always, it was always nice to be able to interact with the boys a bit before the concert and it makes me more excited for the concert. As always I had my picture taken with the boys and this year was the best one I think. They are all such sweet guys. Nick liked my shirt, finally got to meet Kevin and they all smell amazing! 

The concert was frickin' amazing! These boys know how to put on a show and the place was packed! It always normally a well sold show but on Sunday it was basically sold out! People were up in the nosebleed section all the way in the back. It was great to see this even though there was fans there who didn't know much of their new stuff but still AMAZING show. They did a good mix of their oldies and new ones. I love that they still dance and they are good! I also like that they sing and you can tell they are singing because you can hear that they are out of breath. If I wanted to listen to perfect vocals I would just listen to the album. I'm there to be entertained and the Backstreet Boys never disappoint when it comes to entertaining the crowd. I should stop rambling about how awesome the concert was because I could do it for hours and hours which would make for one long post and I have more to tell you about the night!

After the concert there was an after party. We decided to go a few days before even though the last one we went to was kind of crappy. You couldn't even really see the boys. This time they had it at the Marquee Club which isn't always open so it was just fans there and there was a stage for the boys to be on. It was a lot of fun. The boys seemed to having a great time and Nick did a great job DJ'ing. The bonus part of this night I got to get more pictures with the guys. Brian wasn't there and Nick didn't come off the stage because he was DJ'ing but I was lucky enough to get my picture with Kevin, Howie and AJ. I love these guys!

The night was amazing and I got to share it with some great people! I can't wait until I get to do it again! Hopefully sooner then last time. Since I don't have my pictures on this computer I'm just going to leave you my picture from sound check! If you want to see more feel free to let me know or add me on Facebook or Instagram :)

Internet Friends?

When I was trying to figure out what to write about today I really didn't have any great ideas since I didn't really want to do another beauty post this week. Then it hit me...internet friends! i know I doesn't sounds that excited but this weekend I'm spending time with people I 'met' on the internet.

There are some people who think it is crazy to think they you can make a real friend on the internet and to be honest I kind of felt that way for a long time because you can be whoever you want to be on the internet and no one is going to call you out for it because they don't know the difference between the real you and the pretend you. For me what you get in 'real life' is the same as you get on the internet. I think the friends I have met online are the same and for the ones I have had the pleasure of meeting in real life and I know this for sure. I realize that sometimes internet friends don't work out and I think it is easier to lose touch with internet because you can get busy with real life and then next thing you know they and/or you have moved on. I luckily have found some great people online to become friends with. I think my first internet friends came from LiveJournal and I still talk to a lot of them! Everyone knows the lovely Ms Whitney from I wore Yoga Pants, she was one of my LJ buds! My good buddy Justin I have been talking with him since like 2002, all started with LiveJournal! It is weird to think about it sometimes. Also, Faith from You Gotta Have Faith was a friend on LiveJournal and since we actually were from the same place we got to meet in person and she was great and of course still is great but she moved across the country! ;) I could list a few more of the girls I still talk to from Livejournal but they know who they are and know I love them! OH I did have a friendship going for awhile with Stephen who actually went on to win the reality show with Paris Hilton haha I think they was actually on MySpace and not LiveJournal actually but yes before he was Paris' BFF, he was one of mine online.

Mutual interests bring people on the internet together the most. So, it comes as know surprise that I have made some great friends through some of my interests such as music. Ryan Malcolm (winner of the first Canadian Idol) bought me some great friends! I don't talk to the girls I met through Ryan enough anymore but I can say they are all amazing people! Then of course Backstreet Boys bought me some of the best friends I could ask for. Even though I'm far too excited to finally meet Kevin Richardson on Sunday I'm almost equally excited to spend the day with my friends since we don't see each other as much especially this past few months as I didn't get up to Halifax as much as I normally do. It is going to be a great day all being together and bonus we finally get to be together at a Backstreet concert. Deena and Gavin lived in England so it was hard before now haha. Yup, I just can't wait. 

I have gone from being internet friends with people to real life friends. I have attended some their weddings, I'm friends with their families, I'm excited for them when they have great news like they are going to be parents and I'm sad with them when they share hard/bad news. I'm happy they are in my life no matter how they came into it.

And just to wrap it now because I could probably ramble on forever about the great internet people I have met. I just want to say friends are friends, it doesn't matter how you met them, good friends can come from anywhere and really good friends are hard to find so keep them close and be happy you found them. 

And because I have linked up with Whitney in far too long here is a song to get your weekend started! A throw back really...Happy Friday Everyone!

Tip Tuesday!

Since I'm in hair school I figured I should share a few tips from what I have learned over the last few months. Now, some of these I knew before and I'm sure some of you know them too but I figured I might as well just throw some out at you!

-DO NOT brush your hair when it is wet! Always use a comb, if you must use a brush there are special ones for wet hair. Your hair is the weakest when it is wet and that means it will break easier. Be nice to your wet hair.

-Start at the bottom when combing out your wet! This will help prevent some breakage. 

-If you hair get really tangled when wet invest in some leave in conditioner! It will become your best friend!

-Hair feeling blah and kind of weighed down? Try a clarifying shampoo once a week! It will get rid of the junk on your hair from styling products.

-Conditioners really only need to be applied from the mid-shaft down especially if you're on the oily side (like me).

Last one...

-Products are your friend when you know which ones to use! When you're getting your hair done ask what they using and what they would recommend for your hair! 

Happy Tuesday Everyone! 

Monday Monday....

Well, getting back into blogging isn't as easy as I hoped it was going to be! I really don't have any ideas of what I want to blog about! But we are going to power through this and we are going to blog today!

....chirp.....chirp....

Hmmm....Okay, I can tell you what I'm excited about for this coming weekend! On Sunday I heading up to Halifax to see some of favorite people and going to see the Backstreet Boys! Yup, if you read this blog you know this girl right here is a Backstreet Girl and will be one forever. I have to say I'm most excited about finally seeing them as 5! The one time I did see them when they were still 5, AJ had hurt his foot and only came out for one song so that doesn't really count but now it will be glorious with all five! And to top it off I might have gotten a VIP so I'm going to meet KEVIN!! He was never my favorite but man I'm excited to finally meet him. I'm so excited to seeing my friends because I haven't seen as much I would like to because of school I wasn't in Halifax as much. It is going to be a great night for sure! Throwback to the last time I met them! :) Poor AJ had a scatch on his cornea.

I have to say I'm really lost without having to go to school! I'm happy to have the break but man I just don't know what to do with myself yet! I'm sure it will come! I also miss the girls! It is weird going from seeing someone Monday to Friday to not seeing them until September! Though I'm sure we will have a few gatherings over the summer. 

Alright, this is a terrible blog but I honestly I have got nothing! Better tomorrow promise xo

And I'm back!

Wow! I honestly I haven't been on my blog since February! I hope some of you are still with me! I'm not here to say sorry for not posting because I really just didn't have the time for blogging while I was at school. The semester is over now(well there is one more day but it really doesn't count) so I'm back! I hoping that I can get a better routine down for when I go back to school in September so I don't disappear for months on end. Anyways, I guess I will give you a bit of an update on what has been going on in my life!

Mainly, my life has consisted of school, school and more school! I have to say I have been loving it though. For awhile there I was really feeling down about of a lot of things in my life but going back to school has changed all that! I feel like I'm going forward and I'm really content with my life right now. I have learned so much this semester but there is still so much to learn it is kind of scary! Best and most scary day was last client day because we had to actually cut hair! Until then our client days were shampoos and styles, not cutting! It was scary but we got through 30 clients and everyone left looking good and loving their new do's! I'm really look forward to next semester and getting into coloring hair! I swear it is going to be the downfall of my own hair because I love coloring my hair! I will have some new pictures of my hair as I'm getting done very soon (actually today). Here are some pictures from school from hair cuts I did and just some playing around with different styles

 

Now, what else have I done since I last blogged!? Oh I attended another Crop and Create in Moncton! It was another great weekend of scrapbooking and catching up with friends. I have to say this one was even better than last year because it we were more comfortable this year being our second year there and I become good friends over facebook with one of the main organizer Catherine. It was one of my favorite weekends and I can't wait for next year! I swear I will go to these until they don't have them anymore!

And lastly I got followed by one of my favorite men on Twitter LOL Yes I'm totally fangirling here over Damon Bennett following me on Twitter and he tweets me back all the time! Le sigh!
