Well 8 months really. I never lost faith that one day I would return to keep writing nonsense on a blog that took me longer to decorate than really write :)

They actually have phone THEMES to go with it. I just found out this one bloggers 'blog' has LOTS of girly themes yea for me! In case anyone is interested, take a look.

Making me cry...

Posted by Pixie at 7:23 AM 0 comments

Well it's obviously been a while since I've written on here. Everything pretty much just revolves work and daycare.. So nothing real exciting to talk about there.


Wait I lied. For a minute there I was having difficulties leaving my kid at daycare. The first 2 starting days that I left her there she left running away from me to go play with all the cool stuff and didn't even give me a second look back so I assumed she would have no problem there.

Then because the way my work schedule is I made the mistake of not being there for a whole week and when I returned that Monday she literally had a melt down. She cried and ran away from me but not into the class room, away from them and entered another classroom and hid behind one of the teachers. I carried her in my arms trying to console her and I walked into her class when one of the daycare ladies just literally grabbed her from me. Which I DID not appreciate her doing.

I think I would have done OK in trying to calm her down before I had to go but it was like a scene out of a movie where a social services lady was taking kids out of there house. My kid was grabbing at my shirt and jacket and when I left I was crying. It made me so mad at the lady and I cried because I had Never seen my kid like that. And then I started regretting going back to work so soon. So I need to take her more regularly so that she gets used to it and they all tell me it's good to start now because then when it's actually time for her to start school she would of be more used to it.

Too much drama...

Posted by Pixie at 8:21 PM 0 comments
Wow It's been awhile since I've been able to blog and I'm on a serious withdrawal :D

Let me tell you it's has been a long time since I have been on my feet for 7 hours a day for 4 straight days.. My feet hurt and I swear they have swollen up to 2 xtra sizes. ewww.. Thank goodness I have Thursday and Friday off.. yea for me!

There has been so much drama there since I've started. Managers and District Managers being fired for suppose stealing, people walking out, the managers threatening the walked out employees that they would make sure they wouldn't get hired at any retail place again, it's just a mess. Everybody talks about everybody, I swear it's like being in high school again. And I work with 30 and 40 year old people..

One store manager is applying to be a District manager and she's rude to all the employees and other store managers. Yea... that went straight to her head and she isn't even training yet. So lots of drama but whatever, I do my own work and keep my private life out of work (but haha share it to the blog world right :D). I don't need this job and I could save my money from not sending my kid to a daycare but I like doing something more productive and my child has a different experience in her life. So I'm hoping I can stay out of the drama till at least one pay period. =)

P.S Cindy from Cindysrandomness.. I couldn't get into your blog if you just give me an email address then I can help you out... :D

I'm a working mama...

Posted by Pixie at 6:31 PM 0 comments
So I have a ^JOB^. I started training today. I think it's going to be a good experience getting back in the workforce..eventually I had to do it so why not know. My little one is ready to go to preschool anyways.

I have to say that I'm glad I'm not working in that same store of the manager who hired me. I was trying to finish my packet and finish watching a training video but I couldn't concentrate because he kept singing..loudly... off key... and in the same room I was in. Very distracting. He kept talking to me and I was thinking to myself.. "Would you like me to finish today or not?"

And he talks about himsel constantly. That he used work at MAC and that he doesn't know why he downgraded. He made his store at MAC the best one in the state, he takes nobody's crap, that he was the best makeup artist ever blah, blah, blah..

And he's mean, he kept being mean to his own newbie girl.. saying that she wasn't catching on right away I mean hello if you've never done that kind of a job before it's going to take a while. He kept saying like "She's driving me crazy".

So yea I'm definitely happy he won't be my manager. My ^ DISCOUNT ^ has already taken affect. yea! Can't wait to get my 1st $ paycheck so that I can start spending it like a mad woman :D

Spring is in the air...

Yesterday I decided to go to a couple of Daycare centers by my house, you know just IN CASE the manager of the beauty supply store did call me I wasn't left running around like a chicken without it's head trying to figure out where to leave my kid.

I go to one and I enter and it's a tiny place where I think they only accept 10 kids or so which I liked because I knew they would definitely keep a good eye out on the kids.It's kinda quiet and I ask her "Do you have any openings"? and she's like no we are pretty booked and she has a waiting list of 10 kids. I was hoping this wasn't going to be my problem with other day cares because I know how long those waiting list can be.

My sister placed her kid on a waiting list and they didn't call her until 2 months later.

But she tells me of a new Daycare that just opened up and they're enrolling right now. I go down there and the director is just a sweetie, she was so nice to us (of course in part too because she needed my business :D So I told her I would just need them to take care of her 2 days a week and she gave me a great rate so now all I had to do was wait and see if they called me.

So I get home and an hour later he calles me to set up an interview for today. YEA! I'm really excited. I think my main goal is for him to let me be able to work mornings. I let him know that when he bombarded me with the application and he said it was no problem so I'm hoping he's able to keep that "no problem" and let me do mornings.

I didn't think he was going to call me so soon I assumed maybe like on Wednesday or something. And it's a good thing I decided to check out a couple of daycares in my area.

I got my up's and down's with daycares. I can leave her at a daycare and they will teach her preschool studies, and she definetly gets to interact with more kids. But then I kind of don't like it because you really don't know WELL the people who are taking care of your child, and I'm not working full time so I will also be home enough so that I also put my part in and also teach her and be with her as much as possible too.

Well we'll see what happens...

So yesterday was uber exciting for me. I decided to be a follower and get my hair cut similar to this...



I actually printed this picture out (hope i don't get sued or anything for that) and showed it to the hairstylist and let me tell you, I have been trying to get this haircut for about 2 yrs now.. But what's weird 6 yrs ago before Posh Beckham did this style I had it done. I swear I'm not making it up. Anyway last year when she came out with this style I thought I'd try it again so I go to this wanna be salon and they totally did not understand what I wanted even though I showed her a picture of it. Now how do you really mess that up?

So I decide to give it another try and oh my gosh this hairstylist absolutely did an awesome job. Though she didn't really make it as choppy but it's ok I can always go back later again.

Then afterwards I took my sister to a beauty supply store I used to work at because they still give me discounts and we enter and I find out that my old boss (who gave me the discounts)got fired. But while we're at the eyeshadow area the new manager at that store tells me he loves the way I did my eye makeup.(I had used my new yellow with blue on top.) Then he tells me he loves my haircut and my haircolor which is still red, (which actually looks better faded out a bit because my top hair is red and my ends are blonde so it looks cool,) and he askes me what products I used and I tell him I buy them here at this store and he tells me "Girl, why aren't you working here?" and I told him I used to like 3 yrs ago and he's like "Well were hiring here's an application, you know what just fill it out now I'll wait" I was so thrown off gaurd.

We went in to buy eyeshadows and I'm practically walking out with a job. He liked it better that I was bilingual and that I used to work there. And the good part is that he let me put all of my hours in the morning which would be great so that I can be with my little one in the evening along with my hubby and that job is exactly 5 minutes from my house and 8 minutes from the hopefully daycare she would be at.

So today was really exciting and so much fun. When I have time I'll load up pics of my new 'do.

Makeup Haul...

Posted by Pixie at 7:15 AM 0 comments
Well this is what I went and purchased Wednesday...



1) These are the hair clips I bought to start putting my little girls hair bows together (Once I have those put together then I'll show them off too)

2) I must have my fake eyelashes because I have NONE.. I'm completely bare, when I was younger and used to wear mascara the way I would take off my mascara at the end of the day was by pulling the mascara off with my fingers and of course eyelashes came with it.

3) This is L`Oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in "Black"..It's similar to MAC's Fluidline.. I had purchased a liquid liner from ULTA and man that was the saddest $8 bucks spent EVER! That liquid liner did not work at all. It had a sponge applicator and it kept making streaks instead of a line. And this one is awesome. You only use a little bit on your brush applicator and it goes a long way.

4)Maybelline Powder Finishing Loose Powder in "Translucent".. After applying makeup I've never used a powder to finish and to keep the makeup in tact so I thought I'd try one out. So far so good...

5) L`Oreal HIP Dual Eyeshadow in "Flamboyant".. I love bright colors.. the yellow isn't that bright but it's good enough for me, I'm still hoping to buy MAC's yellow because that is one BRIGHT color.. anyhow, it's a duo with a mellow purple.

6) Makeup I use..Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in "Honey Beige" Liquid gets to oily on my face and can't do powder because it gets all cakey on me. This mousse glids on so smooth.

7) I had to try Wet'n wild Mega Glo cheek illuminater. Suppose to give me that whole bronzy, shiny cheek look. Sort of like this...



And sadly I have lasted only 1 day on TOPMOMMA imagine my NOT surprised face when I check my email and the first message on there says (which I have to say they get straight to the point) on the subject header "You just got booted from TOPMOMMA.COM".
