Heaven is a place on earth

Hello there ! Well let me fill you in on the last few days in my life. I spent a lot of time with my friend Mary, she wasn't feeling well so I took care of her. And on Sunday night we went to Karaoke with some friends. Its always good seeing old friends, she hadn't met them before, but I told her they were very entertaining guys. Except it also was a little awkward you know when the ex-boyfriend is there and pretends you're not there and ignores everyone who came out that night.. So it was basically me and my friend Mary sitting alone the whole time cause our other friend was singing so much. But all in all it was a super fun night. Then on Monday Mary and I watched Tangled and fell asleep and napped and then got some motivation and did some recycling and then went for Pho, and we had intentions to go out again but it didn't happen, instead we watched Puss in boots which was really cute, had milkshakes and were just lazy. Today we watched Ellen, listened to the Justin Biber song on reply and once again we were lazy. Once she went home I did some cleaning, had a shower and got all pretty, and now I am sitting here blogging because its been a few days. I have had the last 2 days off work which was nice but I go back to work tomorrow and its going to be hectic because our gift starts on thursday, hello GWP !!

On a side note we also got some bad news well hanging out together. A very close family friend we both knew passed away from Cancer. He was such an amazing man and fought for along time trying to get better. God has another Angel now and we know he will watch over us <3 but this isn't all the bad new we got. Another one of our friends brothers just found out he has a Tumor in his brain, he should be okay as the doctors said it can be removed easily. So my thoughts are with my friends family and I hope all is well. I hope everyone else is having a good last few days, and I just hope NOONE has to hear anymore sad news ! Take care everyone. Life is too short. xo

If life were like a movie.

Well I won't be posting another blog for at least a few days, but I hope everyone has a good weekend. And I will be back sometime next week to read everyones new blogs =)



I just haven't met you yet

Cause that truth hurts & those lies kill

So I've been spending this week "thinking" a lot. About many things, how I feel. I've spent a lot of time dealing with my own thoughts and how I have been made out to feel. You know when you're s mad at someone that you wish you could just pretend like you never that met that person ? Or wish they would just go away, but they won't go away because they care. Thats my life. Even though everyone messes up sometimes, heck I've done it too. We all do it. We even do it to the ones we love most. I know you're going to read this and clue into as why maybe I'm not being the person I usually am, and I know that we've talked and things seemed good. I know we have both done things to upset each other. I guess I know how you felt when your relationship ended and I hungout with your ex all the time, and I thought it was okay because he was my good friend before you ever dated. And I know you're not going to try and be with this person now, and I honestly don't think I am even all that mad at you. Its because I have envy, I'm SO angry, possibly with myself. Maybe because I just look at myself now and think "if I was more like her he would have liked me to, shes so pretty, she is going places with her life.. what am I doing" I just feel super negative about myself. And I don't want to feel this way because two friends should never be in this situation. I guess what I'm saying is even if right now I act like I don't care about you, or I don't talk to you as much, and I may not want to hangout with you right now, I still love you. I always will, and I'll always be here. I think I just need time to grasp your point of view. I'm sorry that its easier for me to sit here and type this out rather then just talk to you. But I feel like if we hungout and talked I would just be upset and cry. I'm sorry.

Well there ya all have it, straight up feelings from the heart. On the plus side, Hello new follower :) Super excited to have a new follower. Besides me being emotional all week. It hasn't been all that bad. I had a break down on Tuesday at work and bawled my eyes out and basically gave up and was ready to walk away from what I worked so hard to get. I just hate bumping heads with my boss so much, but even when I explain to  her how I feel and communicate with her she still acts the same, its really difficult. BUT being positive I had rocked it at work (obviously I didn't leave my job) I feel like we all have days like that though, where it would just be easier to give up, you can't though. Really, I saw a good quote "Not everyday will be good, but theres something good in everyday" I think I have stopped being as positive as I like. I have so much in my life that other people would cherish, I need to start being the positive happy Nicole I am. I've felt so upset and sad this week. I have cried everyday. Its worse when I'm alone, I feel like I am depressed but I have nothing to be depressed about. I hate these feelings.

I've been tagged

Hey Ladies, Wow. Its been a while. Well first off I'll start by filling everyone in with what I have been doing. I have been working lots, seeing friends, celebrating & living life.

I went to a hockey game the other day, and then we had a little St Patricks day get together. I got a new phone, a new camera, some new makeup, went to the car show & for lunch with a friend. I'll post some pictures afterwards. So seeing as I was tagged I will fill this thingy out.

1. If you could trade places with anyone for a day who would it be?

I'd have to say Selena Gomez, because I love her, and well.. her boyfriends pretty cute too, yes I do have Bieber fever <3

2. With unlimited money, which store would you go to first?

This is hard, I wouldn't say I shop a lot. So with unlimited money I'd go to a huge mall, and spend money at every store.

3. Who is the most influential person in your life, and why?

My father. Because with everything he has been through he still manages to be there for me at the end of the day. Hes loving, caring and funny. And when I am in a bad mood, he knows how to cheer me up. Hes my bestfriend, I tell him everything doesn't matter what it is. We have a wonderful relationship, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

4. What is your favorite article of clothing you own?

Sweat pants. I love sweats

5. Favorite color?

Pink

6. On a typical friday night, where are your friends most likely to find you?

At Dennys with Jessica, or sitting in my room painting our nails

7. Why did you start your blog?

Because my friend had a blog and I liked it, but now I need to keep up with the blog.

8. What is your dream job?

Well being a MUA was my dream, but if I could be a singer that would be super amazing too

9.What is one thing you want to do before you die?

Fall in love. Real love and know how it feels to be truly loved by someone and to truly love them back. And get married and have a family.

10. Who is your celebrity crush?

TYGA <3

11. Where do you live, and were you born there?

Winners don't quit & quitters never win

Good evening everyone ! I totally wanted to do a blog earlier today but seeing as I just got home, I suppose I will make one now. So thinking that yesterday was such a great day I figured that today would be great too , I may have been a little wrong. I have to admit that sometimes I let things get to me and tend to be a baby and cry super easy - although I didn't cry today I sure felt like it. First off my morning wasn't so good, I felt this awkward negativity coming from my dad to the point he didn't even acknowledge me this morning, I had no idea why but I figure if he couldn't say hello why should I ? I know super not fun at all. Then I got to work, and it was numbers numbers numbers. I currently have really high expectations, and althoughn I am still learning thats over looked as I should be doing amazing, and I guess I am not doing as great at my job as I thought. I took it too heart and my first thought was "I might as well go home and start looking for something new, I obviously suck at my job" of course I didn't do that, because thats generally what I always do, give up. Because its so much easier then trying. So instead I vented a little too some friends, and talked to my boss. I figured out what I need to do to suceed, the thing is I currently have an $11,000 target at work, and I'm currently sitting at $180.00, I need to reach this target by the end of the month, SO yes.. Very stressful. But I realized something today well I was thinking in my head "Nicole you're no good, you can't do this, might as well give up now, give in your two weeks tomrrow" etc, it hit me. I wouldn't have my job or be where I am today if they didn't think I couldn't do it, everyday at work isn't going to be easy. The best MUA didn't get to where they are by not working hard, so instead of being negative I took some advice from a friend she told me "Rome wasn't build in a day, these things take time" basically, if I give up now I'll never really realize the potential I have and how amazing I truly am. Tomorrow is also a new day.

I did eventually get out of my mood and cheer up a little. I thought it was really cute today and may sound super lame but my manager gave us all candy for doing a good job, halloween candy in March. It made me laugh a little. Then I spent the night with a good friend, we drove around a little went to visit her mom and little sister, got Italian ice cream Gelato I believe is what its called, very delicious. Over all I had a goodnight, and I know tomorrow will be better. I am currently sitting at home with a nasty headache and waiting to watch Jersey Shore.. Have to admit reality TV is horrible, but so entertaining. So I guess the moral of my post today is "When lifes got you down, just get back up" because tomorrow is a new day and not everyday will go as planned.

Also on the plus side a guy I have a thing for asked me to hangout next weekend, even though we used to have a "fling" type thing it made me feel special he wanted to hangout with me. I got in an accident last weekend on saturday night, I wasn't badly hurt. Shaken up, my head still hurts a little, and I am really tense. My first instinct was to call him, because it was almost 10pm and I know he doesn't drink. He was actually on a date and left his date to come and safe me and my friend. So I am currently calling him my "Princess Charming" he made a little joke and said he's a knight in shinning armour. Lets just hope things ( if they even GET to that point) don't go bad, they didn't end too bad before. But I was a little heartbroken. What can I say I am a hopeless romantic. I don't think I want to settle down, I am still trying to figure out everything I want in life. Plus there is another really cute boy I talk to all the time. He's Australian and pretty cute, so who knows ! And if nothing were to ever happen between either one, theres plenty of fish in the sea. Anyways dreamers I am going to get comfy, wash off my make-up and wait for my lame reality TV show to come on and then head to bed. Hope everyone had a good day, and if you didn't just remember that tomorrow will be better, its a new day and to keep your head up.

Just call me Martha Stewart

So I made the cupcakes. Haven't made cupcakes in so long. I cooked them a little too long, But they were still good, my dad didn't complain well he ate them. :)

I used a Red Velvet cupcake mix we bought from Wal-Mart, was asbout $5.00, so simple too and it came with the icing !! All I had to do was add 2/3 cups water, a egg, 3 teaspoons of butter.

This is what they looked like when I was letting them cool down, before I iced them of course. They were so little and fluffy.

And the end results !! I didn't add little cute hearts onto all of them because my dad doesn't like them that much. But all and all I think they look adorable ! I will start taking pictures of everything I bake, because I love baking its good for stress. And the girls at work always request my goodies !! Hope everyone had a goodnight.

Laughter is the best medicine

Well today was a very good day. I was off work and woke up early, I started my day off by doing a blog. It was the first thing I could think of doing. Then I spent some time on the phone getting information for my taxes and some banking info, once that was done I gave all the info to a friend who did my taxes for me. Now I'm just waiting for my money to come and thinking of what I'll spend it on, I have lots of ideas. I think I will save most of it for a vacation this summer that I want to go on. After I did all this I got ready, tried some new makeup I got, loved the results and went to meet some friends for lunch. I went for lunch with a friend and her boyfriend at Kinjo, its a Sushi place. I love sushi. We all took the sheet and kept ordering stuff, our server actually came back and told us we ordered too much for just 3 people so we had to go back and erase some things. We honestly didn't realize how much stuff we picked until we got it at the table and all looked at it with big eyes thinking "Okay, challenge accepted". Sushi was really fun and we shared some great laughs and had some sushi to take home. I just came home afterwards and ended up having a little nap, and now here I am making a new blog for you. Whats everyones favorite places to go on lunch dates with their friends ? Whats your favortire kind of sushi ? Well I'm gonna go and possibly bake some Red Velvet cupcakes, if I do I'll post some pics of the outcome for everyone too see. Hope everyone had a great day !

SPREAD THE WORD !!
click the link and watch this. this is amazing.

Hopeless Romantic

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

The only thing that truly scares me, is what love can do to a person.

Everyone has a secrect but I have two : Everything you say & everything you do.

I guess I got left behind

I know its so lame. but have you ever thought "what if". What if things were different ? What if it worked out, what if every single promise he told you, he kept. What if every single word he said, was actually true. What if somehow despite how bad it all ended, it could've worked out. What if you could go back in time and change everything so nothing would go wrong ? I know that when you become close to someone, see them all the time, want to spend every minute with them it becomes infectious, almost like a sick drug. You can't get enough of him, you can't get away. When you are away.. you wish you weren't. And even though as you're thinking about that person, they aren't here. They left you behind, like nothing mattered. I guess I'm just bitter, a little upset. I just don't understand how someone can tell you they love you one day, and the next day its like you never shared anything together. All the laughs, all the looks, the smiles, the hugs, the kisses, holding hands, the way you stared into his eyes the moment you realized "wow, this guy is a keeper" only to realize, you were wrong. It sucks when you can't simply forget someone like they simply forgot you. I guess at the end of the day.. I won't forget you - although you already forgot me.

I'm not here for a long time ; I'm here for a goodtime

Well, I was unaware how to do this whole blog thing at all. My friend has a blog & I read her blog, and read some of the other blogs she subscribes too. I figured I may as well get one, considering she kept on saying "OMG you should get one blah blah etc etc" SO.. Here I am. May not be the best first blog post, but hey I am brand new too this. I guess I should explain a little about myself. Well for starters my names Nicole. I currently was able to achieve the goal of getting my DREAM   job. Its what I have always wanted to do, working with make-up, working with people, doing what I have always loved. I have learned so much in my short time at my position things I'd love to share with you ! Besides my job, I am a typical 22 year old girl. I get boy crazy, I have mood swings, sometimes I feel prettiest in sweats, I am still trying to discover who I am & who I want to be. I watch lame TV shows, I laugh at stupid jokes, I'm just me. I was always raised to follow my dreams and believe in myself, so I think thats what my blog will be about. Things that inspire me, quotes I like, the way I view the world, things that make me laugh, things that make me cry, my favorite songs, my favorite movies. It will be how I feel, what I wish I could feel, things I learned that day. So I hope you all enjoy it, this is something totally new too me, something I'd never do. I have always enjoyed expressing my feelings by writing, but sometimes writing in a journal doesn't help as much, its all about feed back. Welcome to my beautiful dream, my beautiful life, my beautiful world.
