Some days are my lucky days

2009-11-22T10:50:00.000-08:00

Dear ladies,
Sometimes life turns out the way you want it and other times it doesn't. My world is constant chaos, but that's just how i like it. My life lately has been my winning ticket. Good things happening here, and there. And my happiness continue to grow.
Since Thanksgiving is coming i probably wont post that day, this is my list of all the things i am thankful for in my life.

I am thankful for a loving and supportive family who cares for me each and every day of my life.

I am also thankful for friends who constantly praise me about the good things I can do in my life, even though sometimes I feel like I'm not going anywhere.

I am thankful for school because it lets me know that I can get an education unlike some children across the world.

And last, but not least I am thankful for life because its the reason I live, its the reason I can peacefully put my head to rest every night and the reason I can wake up and take a deep breathe every morning.

I would like to share a poem, that is a little humorous,but if you take time to read between the line's it's quit amazing.

I am thankful
I am thankful for the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me, and not out with someone else.
I am thankful for the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.
I am thankful for the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes because it means she is at home, not on the streets.
I am thankful for the taxes i pay because it means i am employed.
I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means i have been surrounded by friends.
I am thankful for the clothing that fit a little too snug because it means i have enough to eat
I am thankful for my shadow that watches me work because it means i am out in the Sunshine.
I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means i have a home.
I am thankful for all the complaining i hear about the government because it means we have freedom of speech.
I am thankful for the parking spot i find at the far end of the parking lot because it means i am capable of walking, and i have been blessed with transportation.
I am thankful for my huge heating bill because it means i am warm.
I am thankful for the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means i can hear.
I am thankful for the pile of laundry and ironing because it means i have clothes to wear.
I am thankful for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means i have been capable of working hard.
I am thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means i am alive.
I am thankful for too much e-mail because it means i have friends who care.

I think this poem is really cute, but very meaningful.
I would like to know what you all are thankful for. Let me know!

Have the best day,
Taylor S.

the storm continues to grow

2009-10-01T14:43:00.000-07:00

The day i stopped, and took a breath.

It seems as if life is one big storm, twirling and spinning like your mind racing and your heart beating. As the storm reaches it's high point, and is wildly out of control, your are as well. Finally, the storm slows, giving you a chance to breathe. You take in one breath at a time and realize that what you go through makes you a better and stronger person.
- an original poem
I left all of you a little something on your page, to show my love and appreciation for all of you that stuck with me through this long period.
i hope you all enjoy your day. .
with all the love in the world,
Taylor

mmm, it's been so long since i posted something, i feel like i am always saying sorry for doing so. I of course am very sorry. School started so i am constantly busy. Plus, clubs tend to take up my time. I find myself thinking about blogging and how much i miss reading all of your lovely words. I haven't really been up to anything these days. Exciting things. . . i went to a couple of football games and it was my sister's birthday and we went to Knott's which was so fun. But, basically i have been wrapped up in school 24/7. I did take a really cute picture of this really cute outfit that i wore, and someone very special to me helped me pick it out.
I will be sure to leave a comment for every single one of you, very soon.

stay posted for more TAYLOR! i mis you all so much

xoxo taylor

Absent and very sorry

2009-08-26T15:20:00.000-07:00

Hello,
i feel like i haven't talked to all of you in such a long time, but i recently have been very busy. While i was away i got a blogger award from my friend Jessica. YAY! And i have been tagged.( i will get to the questions later.) I really missed all of you. I have been getting up at five every morning for the past three weeks and getting home at two, so you can believe how tired i am. My eye lids are getting lower and lower as we speak. I also had an amateur photo shoot. It was tons of fun, i did her makeup and i was the photographer! I can't put up any pictures of my fantastic work because the model wishes me not to. Sometimes my life is one long express that never ends, and like every other ride it has it's twist and turns, but in the end when i got off i realize i wouldn't change anything about it. OH! BTW, i bought a really cute clutch bag from . . . TARGET!

I love it so much. A couple of days ago i heard this song and i thought it would relate really well to how i was feeling, and instead of writing a really long post about my feeling and my problems i would let you hear the song and let it speak for itself. The song that I'm talking about is the current one that's playing on my music player. I want all of you all to listen to it. I know, it's Hannah Montana, but if you give it a chance it's quite amazing.Below is a glimpse of the lyrics:

Maybe I will never be
Who I was before
Maybe I don't know her anymore
Maybe who I am today
Ain't so far from yesterday
Can I find a way to be
Every part of me
Yeah

I don't wanna wait too long
To find out where I'm meant to belong
I've always wanted to be where I am today
But I never thought I'd feel this way

i hope you enjoy it! And now for the questions!

What's your current obsession?
My current obsession it for sure sketching, i love the feeling i get and i love how i don't get judged
Some friends of mine are feeling very bitter but also very emotional and that hurts me a lot.I'm all about making every one's day the best it could possibly be, by whatever means possible

What is your horoscope and do you relate?
I am a Scorpio, I'm supposedly hard-headed and very tempered. I am for sure very tempered, but keeping my patience is something i want to work on.

What are you wearing today?
Today, oh gosh, i had to wear uniform so i wore dark blue pants with a long v-neck cardigan with a gold belt rapped around the waist.

What's the last thing you bought?
mmmm. . . . the last thing i bought was about 1 week ago it was red kitten heels with a little bow on the front from Target for only like $12!

What do you think about the last person who tagged you?
I think she's fantastic, and someone who has a wonderful blog.

What's for dinner?
Ummm, that is not up to me, but i would like some string beans!

What's your favourite decade, fashion wise?
I would have to say the 80's, so unique and innovative

What are your must haves for Summer?
A really cute, white top that fits just perfectly and really cute head bands.

What would you be able to afford ?
I want to open my store in a little tiny neighborhood.

What's your favourite piece of clothing from your wardrobe?
clothing? I have so much i can't pick! But I'm in love with this shirt i got from nordstrom, it's in an older post, but i will put the picture in again just to remind all of you who weren't with me during that time.

What's your dream job?
I can't tell you what my perfect job would be because i haven't discovered myself yet. I would love to stay focused in fashion though or journalism either would be wonderful and fulfill my life long journey

What's your favourite magazine?
Teen Vogue, it's at my level( of fashion, not reading)

What do you consider a fashion faux pas ?
To not dress your body type, you wear what everybody else is wearing. To look the best you have to dress the body you have no the body you wish to have or see on the runway.

Describe your personal style?
rummaging through an old trunk in grandma's closet.

Which is your favourite Beatle?
i don't know, i would have to look that up

What are you most proud of?
I am most proud of me. I push myself everyday, i always try to say hi to someone i don't know. I'm proud of things i done, but I'm the one who did them.

Okay, lots of questions! But i hope it helped all of you get to know me better.

For all my fashionistas!

Busy Bracelets

2009-08-08T15:21:00.000-07:00

Ladies,
I have to say that for the rest of the month, i might not have to the time to blog. Starting Monday i am taking some over the summer AP prep classes for history. I'm so not excited, and then that weekend I'm going to Las Vegas. And the next two weeks i have ASB meetings ( because i am, of course Vice President). I'm really busy, and time is valuable. I will take pictures though, and put them on my blog as soon as i can. I have a new bracelet to show you guys, it's not a charm bracelet which is why it's not going to be in my collection, but it's really cute! I'm still working on getting my little Charm bracelets up and running.

This bracelet is for morena

New Changes!

2009-07-30T19:32:00.000-07:00

Hello ladies,
I'm always thinking about ways to improve the things i do. So some days i sit around thinking about life and the things it has to offer. I realized that everyone has flaws and nobody is perfect. I give myself a hard time over the stupidest things now that i come to think about it. I want everybody to know that there perfect just the way they are. On a non serious note: I have been doing some blogger research, if i may call it that. I want to improve my blog and attract more readers. I came up with the " Weekly Inspirations" which is a quote that is supposed to inspire you through the week. I'm still in the process of coming up with new and unique ideas. I want this blog to be one of a kind. So if you guys see anything that needs to be improved or something that will make this blog better, just let me know.(Don't worry about hurting my feelings). Now, on a more fun note. I had an outstanding weekend, here are some pictures. I went to the beach, I went to concert in the park, and i went to a bonfire! Tons of fun!!

Have nice day.
xoxo taylor
dont be shy! email me. i love the things you have to say.And all of you are so unique. I would love to get to know all of you personally.

A day in the office.

2009-07-22T12:27:00.001-07:00

Hello fellow bloggers,

hope you all have a nice day.
xoxo taylor

lucky lucky me!

2009-07-18T18:52:00.000-07:00

Hello Darlings!
I went to Target, and i have to tell you guys that's one of my favorite stores. Okay, so i went to the shoe section and found these really cute tan slingback wedges. I was so happy i was prepared to get them no matter how much they cost, but the fact that they were half off made it so much better. They were only $12! By that time i was walking around Target so happy. I decided to go to the accessories and stumbled across tons of bags hanging up on an overly crowded rack. I was desperately looking for a clutch and thought that i should check out this rack. I found the cutest bag. I wasn't going to buy it at first due to the color, but when i looked at the price tag i thought why not it's only $3! So, i spent like $17 including tax and got the cutest shoes and a really cute bag. How lucky is this girl! What was the luckiest thing that ever happened to you. I would love to know!
have a nice day

good news. . . and then some

2009-07-15T12:15:00.000-07:00

okay, so yesterday i went to pudgy beads(which is a bead store,obviously). I have to show you guys what i made. It's really cute. And my mom said i should sell them. I'm not really sure. So, let me know what you think. And if you were willing to buy it what would be a good price (considering that all the materials were $10). If i do decide to sell them i would want them to benefit something. There is the cancer ribbon on there, and i was thinking that i could give some money to their cause. I'm not sure yet. I haven't done a lot of research on charity's, but i feel like that's just one of the many things i could do to help out people who truly need the support. I think it's like an unwritten rule, that you should give back because that's what the world is made of. And you never know, one day you might need help. I feel like this is just a small thing i could do to make a big difference.
P.S. answer these questions:
1. how much would you pay for the bracelet?
2. Should i sell them?
3. What charity would you like me to benefit?
4. If i do sell them, i need a name!
Thank You. I hope you have a wonderful day.
xoxo,
Taylor

possibly perfection.

Here you go.

This one is for Melanie

These are my swarovski earrings

smile, its a beautiful day.

2009-07-09T11:04:00.000-07:00

During the past few days i have been receiving gifts from my family. i got a pair of swarovski earrings that are just so pretty. I also got a bracelet from my grandma and its so nice. And then my mom bought me a really pretty shirt from nordstrom i love it so much. I'm not happy just about the gifts im happy that people remember me when they go out somewhere and they want to buy me something, they dont have to it's just really nice that they do. When i woke up today, i felt so happy. i dont really know why, but i felt like if i didnt do anything with my happiness i was going to burst with laughter and giggles. I found out that blogging actually makes me happy! I think its the fact that you can share about almost anything and people are going to comment on it, and most of the time they have nice things to say. I didnt really have anything to talk about today, but i noticed that i didn't have anything to talk about becasue my day has only started. And i didn't start this blog to entertain people i started it for the people who feel like we have something in common to read about my life and i will read about their life. I realized that having a blog isn't easy. I'm always on this thing 24/7. i get tons of ideas from other people. And creating a blog is extremly difficult. It's hard to get things to look a certain way. And for those of you who have your blog just the way you want it, i gave you a round of applause because this is hard. I'm sure that i'm not done writting for today so expect me to add more.

with love.
Taylor

everything i could ask for

Makeup doesnt make the girl. . .

2009-07-02T11:04:00.000-07:00

I choose for my blog to be about makeup because ever since i was little i thought it was something really fascinating and it always intrigued me.The first thing i ever bought, i wish was a little more sophisticated like red lipstick,liquid eyeliner or, concealer. It was clear mascara. Everytime i put it on i got really excited and wish that i had more. I really started getting into makeup just a few months ago. My mom was the first person to teach my how to apply my makeup. She only taught me one time and after that i picked up everything by myself. I'm not a perfect makeup artist i still need to learn the tricks, but i get my hands on everything i can. I watch What Not to Wear just for Carmindy's makeup tricks. I learn alot from her and she is one of my idols. My first makeup kit i ever got was from my aunt. It was filled with Clinique (and i thank her very much for that). My collection has grown at a rapid speed. Im always like i need that and that! It makes me happy because everytime you get something new your collection not only grows,but you can mix and match it with other makeup and get different results everytime. I still have alot to learn, but if you love something nothing will stop you.

P.S. WWW.Firstthegirl.com couldnt of been possible without my friend morena, who inspires me everyday in a new way. I dont wish to be just like her, but i wish that her love and passion rub off on me. :)check out her website at www.toohautetohandle.com . . . thanks morena.
