Soo these are the weather conditions in SNJ right now..

I actually tried to drive to work 7 o' clock this morning when it was first starting...God basically picked my car up turned it around and made me go back home ....like Alicia, what's wrong with you??

If I would have made it to Philly ...I woulda been stuck there for sure

because the snow was probably knee high by 12 in the afternoon

Anyway I ended up leaving my car at wawa until this storm dies down...

I could've been updating my journal allll dayy

[which was much needed]

but I opted to be lazy...

I did absolutely nothing...

hung out with my nieces

took the LONGEST nap with one of them

[and didn't even put on a silk bonnet..which i NEVER forget]

I tried a couple different makeup looks

refrained from fb stalking...

and now I'm updating my journal before I take a shower, clean my room and bathroom and go to sleeeppp!!

** NEXT FEW PARAGRAPHS ARE STRICKLY YAKI TALK**

I'm still into the beauty thing a lot but now I've been ITCHING to do a sew in weave...[this time on my own]

I MUSTTTTTT figure out what I'm going to do about this color

I got my hair colored a couple of weeks ago...This red/blonde/orange color [which dried my hair out soo bad btw, my hair is in a shea butter bath right now] that is impossible to weave match!!!

I would get virgin indian and color it...but it's not that deep...I'm getting the virgin hair for my summer jet black, down my back weave...

ughhhhh as I type this I'm feeling the shame

How did I get sucked up into the phony hair world...

I want my real hair to grow down my back..that's the main purpose of this butt

I reallyy really wanna feel that REMY VELVET on my arm again...

like i love the fact that i can feel my hair on my arm....

SICKENING, I KNOW..

but anyway what I"m probably going to do is get some # 350 in reg human hair for the top[b.c they don't make remy in that color, RETARDED]

just a little just enough to blend the very little bit of real hair i'm going to have out in....

then I'll get a number 33 and a number 4 in the remy

I want long with a side part

not leaving any edges out and no back its going to all be braided up b/c my edges broke off A LOT with my last weave so they needta chill out...

and I was thinking about having my sister braid me....but i MIGHT just go to the africans so i can get micro mini no joke tight braids..

we'll see...but this all needsta happen before NYE..

I want it fresh for 0hten

********

I really needta start pushing this school thing...

This week I"m going HARD...

I'm going to GET the tax returns from my Dad and do my stinkin financial aid

Then I'm gonna start paying for my kit and talking this guy in to signing this loan...

I can't let another season go by where I'm not in school it's getting redic!

So really I'm setting this goal to get this THING done THIS WEEK!

I always do things after i make it a realll do or die GOAL!

Another goal will be to be a GOOD steward over God has given me forreal,

no more ridiculous credit cards for no reason...Vicky's I can see but Express, forreal? I don't even LIKE that store

NO MORE banging and dirtying poor Tammy up...

I'm going to take care of EVERYTHING

including my friends and family...

so no more ignoring texts, calls, and messages [unless necessary]

ugh I just semi-lost hope when I realized my Sallie Mae payment is coming out this week and I haven't deposited my check yettt

GAHHHH

HALLELUJAH, ANYHOW

WHY CAN'T I BE SINGLE??

SERIOUSLY, I get sooooo sick of people asking me why I'm not dating....

Is it that weird that I CHOOSE to

a.)WAIT ON GOD FOR MY MATE... and

b.) NOT be bothered with "fill-in-nigga" bs in the meantime??

I mean I think people really don't believe that it's possible for a girl to be content with herself without a man ....

I definitely don't want to be single forever but honestly when I look at my pool of options....I literally get PISSED!....my only major requirement is that you are a LEADER who is able to hold an INTELLIGENT conversation with me.. with that being said, about 98 % of my options have disappeared.....

then throw in the fact that I want him to be God-fearing, Goal-Oriented, and BLACK with an attraction to black females and my options are just like age 40 and up and I don't do old men...

The point of this post is to say that I'm single, I'm not a lesbian (u would be surprised how close minded people are..or would you?),I'm not bitter and I don't hate men ( i do believe theres hope somewhere out there) I don't plan on being single forever BUT I'm not wasting my time on any immature, throwed off BOY ...i'M WAITING...it's not easy to wait on God...it's not easy to be single....BUTTT.....the state of the black male population makes it a WHOLE LOT EASIER

WOW, I can't believe I have all of 8 followers of this blog right now...
I wish i could get into it like I really want to but I don't have the energy for pics and such and such
big ups to every fashion blog i stalk bc they are LOADED with pics!

So for Black Friday I didn't go out at the crack of dawn and go shopping..although I would have if I had the money
Instead around noon I took another visit to my favorite thrift store with my mom
I had 20 dollars to spend and CLEANED UP if I must say so myself =)

I got 2 blazers...
+one gray and dark gray striped wool
++the other like an oversize plaid one
I got a huge oversized rabbit fur coat omgoodnesss i loveeee
I have to get it cleaned though
Micheal jackson tee
Striped cropped tee
and a navy sweater with an anchor on the front

i'll try and take some pics and post some

I also ordered some make-up from ebay....
you know what I think when my makeup gets here
I'll do a haul post...and post pics of my purchases from my thrift store as well
ok forreal this time ima be on it

So...I'm still addicted to youtube videos...
I actually have the urge to look at them right now....
but I'm controlling it. lol
It's like once you look at one you want to find out how to do everything

I ordered my NYX shadows that I'm going to use as blush
They're in transit here as I type =D
ORDERED 2 LIPGLOSSES, A LIPSTICK AND A HIGHLIGHTER AS WELL ..

Right now, this makeup thing is almost overshadowing hair...and that's NOT GOOD..

and btw, I wasn't trying to throw shade at all you naturals last post...
just really like a completed look....not quite sure I would even THINK about makeup if I didn't NEED it.....nawww that's a lie im sorryyy

random as usual

ok so, i'm patiently waiting to find out whether or not i'm going to be starting school next week...

i only have to ask my dad whether or not he's going to co-sign my loan

and i have to get a 795 dollar check from him for my kit...

not too bad...

PRAYY!!!

i kind of feel like i'm on standstill until then

like i feel like i'm calling myself a hair stylist but

with no creds..

and I'm trying to shake that feeling because even though it's technically true, it's discouraging

the Bible says to call those things that are NOT as though they ARE...

bt this waiting to find out thing is NERVE WRACKING

bc I know in this business SCHOOL is NECESSARY

for me to progress in my job SCHOOL is NECESSARY

so the longer I wait to go to school....the longer i will be washing hair and making

$300 a week ...

I WANNA START TAKING CLIENNTS

I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO DO HAIR IN A SHOP LOL

(and get paid for itt )

idk all i can do is pray

I know for a FACT that God is working things out INSIDE of me that need to be takin care of before I take on more responsibilities like school...so if He feels this isn't the right time I'm not trippin I'm waiting until February ....and i'm getting a second job and STACKING...AND i'm taking at least 2 classes on SOMETHING... so i can feel some PROGRESSION

anyway this vid encouraged me from youtube doubt neone will click it but if u need a pick me up or just some encouragement check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbl_ePyIiJY

speaking of youtube...I've been OBSESSED with makeup tutorials lately...

now, the passion of my life is HAIR...

but I LOVE and appreciate ANYTHING beauty...

colouredbeauty has me ready to buy some orange blush

and definitely thinking about putting my black opal stick foundation back to use

little things like that make me excited for daysss

I like to take full advantage of all of the perks of being a woman..

and yeah, it's kind of superficial in a way butt...

I HATEEEEEE when girls women get dressed up to go out with no face on !!!

I mean shoutout to naturally beautiful girls

but if you got the shoesss and the dress..

why not accessorize it with some blush??

if ur gonna do it, DO IT

and

a lil moisturizer, lil bronzer, lil eye liner, lil maskeeras go a mighttyy longggg wayyy

(excuse me while i dream)

I want to be the well rounded stylist that you can come to the day you're going out and get THE WORKS done....

So I'm trying to make my makeup skills coincide with my hair skills...

Why would you give somebody a GREAT hair style only for them to go out with lotion and chapstick on there face ughhh idk that's a major pet peeve of mine

I want my clients to leave feeling like a NEW person...

I did my mom's makeup today..and she clearly felt sooo goood omgoodness i would LOVE for every client to walk out of my chair the way she did today...

(ok that's over)

ok had a few other paragraphs to write but decided to stop myself for the sake of neone who reads this and doesnt want to see random ramblings....

g'nite

so as usual its been a while since I've posted...I have GOT to do better..

I'm at the point where I'm literally getting sick of myself and my bad habits...

spending, speeding, lack of patience, lack of commitment...

I'm ready to GROWWW

so I'm going to REALLY REALLY try to commit myself to blogging AT LEAST once a week...

pics included..

it actually helps me not to go on and on to people who could care less...just because I have things bottled up lol

and its a start to changing

So the pics above are from last Sunday's photoshoot at my house...

shoutout to Gifted to Style U Fashion Mgt (Shannan J.)!!...aspiring stylist..she styled the shoot...pics are going to be used to build her port...pretty sure she has a blog comin out soon as well...will keep u posted...(GREAT FASHION EYE)

and 20/20 VMP who shot and taped the shoot check out their website

consider them family was muchhhh funnn got to use a lot of vintage pieces i hadn't worn yet...(ie metallic gold jacket second pic LOVEEEEEE)

CLICK FOR BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE OF SHOOT AND ME IN ACTION LOL

speaking of vintage I am still very much addicted but I think I have enough things now to last me over the month of NOVEMBER have GOT to start using self control...

in other news i took out my weave the pics above are with it STILL in after 4 mths

I gotta say.. I will NEVER keep a weave in that long again

taking it out hurt worst than getting it braided and sewn in

I have NEVER SEEN my roots so nappy

and the amt of hair that came out of my hair CANT be healthy

my scalp is still paying the price for that comb out....

i believe i'm tenderheaded now

anyway i took myself to the dominicans.. I had been going to the dominicans for 2 years FAITHFULLY before I really started doing my own hair.. and I actually missed it...I do hair..and i get my hair done for free but i just HAD to go there for some reason... I used to go to a shop called Nuevo Estilo in North Philly..and a few of the women from that shop opened up a new shop around the corner from my job in West Philly....(all the way God lol)

anyway I got a wet set and as I sat for 2 hours (ha-lawd!) under the dryer i watched their technique and wrote like 3 pages of notes on my phone for my OWN salon.....I HAVE HUGEEEEE PLANSSS...MADD EPIPHANIES AND STUHH'

anyway the final result of my wetset was tight GRANDMOM hard as rock curls lol

but thats what i prepared myself for...i brushed the sides up into a mohawk (which hurttt) and I'm going to try to rock it out like this for 2 weeks ...or until my scalp heals =(..then its straight city!!! probably some color as well...

attn: IM GOING TO START SELLING ON THIS BLOG SOOO GET UR PAYPAL ACCTS READYYY!!!

I went back to the thrift store today and i can't go shopping again for at least a month!

I have at least 4 bills waiting to be paid (disgusting, I know)

Got the best fur jacket for the fall

a sequin trimmed black blazer...funky metallic trimmed sweatshirt

and not pictured is a long cream tulle skirt and a royal purple dress ...oh and some beat up aqua-green loafers that I'm in love with!

I posted the pics of my suede jacket that I CAN'T TAKE OFF

My dress that you probably can't understand on the hanger but believe me she's SICK

and my oversized Royal purple blazer! I can't wait to put a floral dress and tights under it

okay, that's all for fashion right now...

It's time to focus on hairrrr and getting into school

I have to work up the nerve to ask my dad to cosign on my loan for me ...

He's vowed never to cosign again since I dropped out of college...

IF I can get through to him I still have to get him to dish out 795 dollars for my kit...

of course, I'll pay him back with my refund check and try to put like 300 in maybe idk i need help

I HATE asking my dad for anything

I HATE the fact that I even need my parents to fund MY dream but hayy u gotta do what u gotta do

and I'm not gonna sit here and stress myself out about it...

I HAVE to TRUST God for break throughs

and PRAYYYYYY

NO CHOICE....

love, alicia

ok i kno i always post and lack pictures and details but i'll post them later; promise...

I just had to share a tiny victory story...

ok; maybe bittersweet victory..

well I made a vow to stop shopping "new" for a while now

shopping vintage/thrift/goodwill

is soo much more fun and I find so many one of a kind piecess

so I've been hittin up the goodwill around where I live for a while now....

searching and searching through clothes to find little cute things and I've had luckk

but it took a WHOLE lot of effort...

anyway my friend has been on her vintage shopping for a year or 2 now and she's been telling me about this thrift store like its incomparable..

I got off work super early today and was on my way to the mall (to spend $25) in M.A.C.

and decided I would swing by the store and see what the deal was...

I walked in that store and went absolutely STARK crazy....

When I walk into a place that has an OVERFLOW of cute things...

I get a rush....

When I walk into a place that has an OVERFLOW of cute things FOR CHEAP....

its seriously like chaos in my head

I literally wanted to throw up from how much they had!!!

First of all,

What thrift store do you know that color codes EVERYTHING

I walked in and (the store was like the size of a department store)

and they had 4 or 5 rows of shoes.

ALL color coordinated

coulda went crazy right there...

but I'm not into shoes enough for that

but when i got to the clothes.....i could have bought EVERYTHING IN THAT STORE

I ended up spending 62 dollars (the bitter part )

BUT

I found an AMAZING DRESS from Laurence Kazar

I always look up the designers wen I find good vintage pieces

and I noticed he specialized in EXTRANESS

everything I've seen of his is beaded, sequined, and FLASHY

like something Fran Drescher's grandmom would rock on "The Nanny"

The dress I bought is NO different

hand beaded all on the body sequins and beads GALORRE on the shoulders, and shoulder padss, shoulder padss..peep hole in the back aka THE BOMB...I think you're going to have to wait until december to see her though b/c this is my dress for the Golden Scissors Awards

and I got a black SUEDE, CROPPED, FRINGED jacket for 30 dollars

alll the way suede too!!

perfect accessory!

I think I always go crazy in stores b/c I'm not practical at all

I always picture myself walking down NY streets or out at fancy events

when I picture myself in clothes..

that's why I have dresses and pieces in my closet that i have yet to wear

cz I'm not in nobody's NEWYORK

or nobody's fancy event lol

just workin ...

a girl can dream though

I want to make my blog prettier and more interesting but I just can't find the time to post pics and get into detailed stories ...or even put effort into my clothes enough to take pics

Ever feel like You've spent an unprecedented amount of money

and don't even want to look at your bank statement to see your damage??

I'M THERE.

ALL THE WAY...

joined chictopia (LOVEAliciaRose) and didnt kno exactly HOW to define my style...

I just wear whatever looks cute...

no favorite brand

not really any favorite stores

no favorite look ....

I'd like to think I'm unpredictably classic...

With like a kick punch of funk. . . .or maybe vice versa..

yeahh that's it....

ANYWAY in further news we are embarking upon the last month of my SEW-IN

It will be 3 months on the 8th and I plan on taking it out at the end of october!!

I'm sooo excited to see if my hair grew...

but I'm most excited about my messy bun!!!!!!

ohhhh how I missed itt!!!

EXCITING HAIR MOVES TO COME! WILL POST PICS!

GETTING WIG CUT ASAP

CHOLLA!

LOVE

ALICIA

ROSE

ok sooo i wish I still had a camera so i can post pics...

it would make my journey back into blogging sooo much

more interesting...

I don't think I'm going to fill you in on any of the "happenings"

in my life since my last detailed post...

too much

too scattered

too deep

anyway (i'll just resume like i've been a faithful blogger all this time)...

I've decided I'm going to do most of my shopping at thrift stores and goodwills for the fall/winter/ever and just fill in at stores for everything in between...

I found I get more one of a kind pieces when I do that plus I get to use more creativity when I put them together..it's fun not to mention all the money i save!!

So on Monday when I got done my aunt's hair I stopped at the goodwill and I bought these shoes that I found online at Goodwill for 2.50l !!! THEY KILL MY FEET but I LOVE THEM!

Now, I'm not really a shoes person..at all. I ACTUALLY left tons of shoes at college...and I'm just starting to restock but I truly never wear them in public...at least 4 pair have just takin permanent residence on my closet's top shelf...I'm more of a "find-one-pair-that-feels-comfortable-enough-to-wear-with-anything-whether-they-match-or-not-just-make-it-work-neway" type so these shoes to me are perfect I love royal blue and they are sooo funky I'll wear them with jeans and a tee!

they had black peeptoe pumps just like these only the studs were gold or silver .. I think i might pick them up today...

I also got a men's plaid work shirt, a gray too big pleated skirt that i'm gonna wear as a high waisted skirt with a belt around it, and I got a mustard yellow cardigan all for 14.50

They had the ahhhh cutest gray and white leopard (typical me::rolls eyes::) dress with shoulder pads..tulip skirt, pockets, THE WORKS....had a rip and no tag so they wouldnt let me buy it ::unheard of at a daggon thrift store right?? i'm goin back today that heffa wanted my dress!!!!

I'm hunting down a denim button up to wear with my sequin leggings (h&m 19.95!!) wish me luck!

maybe something more philosophical next post?

love,

alicia rose

hi new followers =]

i don't update like i should but i try

don't give up on me

peace,

alicia rose

ok this blog has not been utilized to it's full potential...

and of course the fact that i broke my camera

does not help...

b/c i do like to include pics in my posts...

buttt i am writing this to say that i will be back...

or maybe i should say i will ARRIVE...

as soon as i clear out some of this clutter in my room and bathroom and LIFE

and i will not dissapoint you!!!!

=D

ok i went to bronner bros show last weekend and broke my phone

i'll update ab that another time

but the RIGHT now

IS

i had to order another phone b/c i pretty much hated the phone i had and

i went to the t-mobile store..

just to play with the mytouch phone that just came out

and i fell in LOVE

with this htc touch pro2

the price tag is still severely hurting my feelings

and i pretty much clicked upgrade while closing my eyes

i'm really mad at myself im returnin it ASAPP

forever 21 has me lusting over this....taking me serious will power not to buy this for atl and throw a denim jacket over it

im glued to the computer..bored..and its sickening

MISSION: MASTER THE WORLD OF WEAVES

I did a horrible job braiding a client up for a sew in on Friday...

it's really been on my mind since then

I'm trying not to let it break me but let it driveee me to do better..

I feel like I'm getting WAY too comfortable where I'm at...

I think I've forgotten that the job was actually the start of my CAREER

I think I've forgotten that I'm at this job not just to make money and go home but to learn and soak up every possible thing I can...

People don't have this opportunity and the way I work now is a direct reflection of how my career is going to be when I start taking clients

When I come home I check all my social networks and blogs and go to bed...

I have 2 mannequins here...

If i braided them up every day when I came home

I may have had braiding MASTERED by now

This may sound stupid or like a dumb rant...

but braids are the base of a weave...

if the braids are too big the weave is gonna be too lumpy..

if the braids aren't tight enough the weave is gonna be loose

if there's too much space between the braids the weave is gonna be sparse lolol

EVERYBODY wears weaves ....nuff said

SOOOO INSPIRED BY THIS TODAY

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so

that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other

people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,

our presence automatically liberates others."

NELSON MANDELA INAUGURAL SPEECH 1994

i'm gonna get velvet remi hair for this weave

but next time i'm goin all out and gettin the virgin

indian remy hair in the body wave its like 150 a pack

vs the 150 for 2 packs im spending on the outre...

i'ma try to leave it in for a whole half a year

i've been doin my research on sealing wefts and all that so

the hair doesn't shed I'M EXCITEDD!

plus i have a new braiding pattern in my head i wanna try...

My whole goal of this is so that my real hair can grow

I"m so annoyed with the length that it is now

i feel baldheaded....

i need it to grow past my shoulders before i cut it off...

plus i need the knowledge of weave to add to my criteria

in other news i tried on the cutest bathing suit at target

(or so i though)

i looked SO FAT

i mean i kno i'm not FAT

but the kid DEF needs to be on kanye west workout plan

tuck the tummy tighhhhtt

target has some realllly cute stuff though

tracy feith for target was the best idea they ever had...

k, bye.

TODAY WAS VERY, VERY BUSY.

I had to wash and blowdry 2 little girl's hair and practice EXTREME PATIENCE...

little girls are SO dramatic lolo

one of them didnt like hair to touch her face AT ALL

so wen she was being blowdried and combed out

she kept moving and covering her face and

it was just TAD irkin ..

but it was cute

and she was cute so

she got away with it.. lolol

i got my hair colored by my boss

BEST JOB EVERRRR

i really love it and even though i work HARD

it doesn't feel like work it's what i love to do

my money situation has become better..

but i can see myself losing focus of that credit card debt free by the end of june goal i had

i spent a lot of money on clothes last week

now i have a 240.00 and 54.00 ticket to pay

my mom wants 100 for my car insurance

the credit card is 600

and the shop is going on a trip to Washington DC july 17th for a business seminar

I want a weave before then to last me through the summer...

I was thinkin about getting it next week...

b/c sew ins hurts so baddd for like the first 2 we

my boss got 20" remi hair for 160

so hopefully i can get my 14" for like...110 lol that would be nice

ughhh i haveto figure out how i'm going to execute this....
