Summer checklist: hair cut

10:50am.

11:40am.

FINALLY GOT MY HAIR TAKEN CARE OF.

I’m so happy with this cut. The lady definitely understood what I wanted. Apparently whoever cut my hair before cut my layers in a sort of “shelf” style which made my ponytails appear kinda chunky. “That’s weird… -snipsnipsnip- There! Fixed it!”

I love my hair long, so I decided to chop off a whole 1.5 inches.

She straightened my hair so she could see what my hair would look like ‘normally’ since I textured my hair the day before. That’s why it looks all sleek and perfect.

Guys, I have/had a lot of hair.

PS: Check out Just Teasin’ if you’re in the Eug!

Obligatory ‘hey look I’m studying in the library’ photo.

Finals week.

Just be over already, kay? Thanks.

1. 4.5 inch nude pumps.

2. Navy blue dress.

3. Pearl earrings and necklace.

4. Siiiigh, I love dressing up…

- It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about… my life. Hello hello! I’m still alive!
Sigma Chi’s Sweetheart banquet was tonight. They honored this year’s Sweetheart and recognized next year’s. Perks to knowing Sig Chi membs: being asked to go to things like this where you should look nice. I wish everybody dressed up everyday. ev. er. y. day.

Anyways, I’ve got to get back to doing homeworkughgross. Three more days of classes, then reading period, then finals, then home! This year went by crazy fast.

Toodles!

PS. I was taller than my date. ;] “Screw you and your heels.”

Profile+Cover Photos.

How I made THIS!

Yes, I put actual time into my Facebook profile. I know, it’s a foreign concept to me too.

My mini photog studio (located in my brother’s room)! 

- tripod
- car windshield reflector thing as a reflector 
- full body mirror so I could see what I looked like 
- huge window to let as much possible natural lights flow in 

My blue-screen! I actually found this huge sheet of blue cotton fabric in my sister’s closet. I was planning on making it into a skirt/scarf/bunch of little bags, but thankfully, I never decided on which and was able to use it as a backdrop. If it were any other color, Photoshopping this would have taken 500 years. I wasn’t wearing any blue, so I was able to easily select and delete the background.

The little tray on its side in the front is the white part under the cover photo.

The mirror fell and cracked when I was moving out of my dorm, so I got a new one. Sis wanted this one and taped it up… cuz obviously that helps a ton.

Ta da! Thanks be to goodness for my ML-L3 remote. I wouldn’t have been able to take 500 shots of myself otherwise!

Literally walked outside with my little ‘Have a good day!’ sign I had just made and stuck it in my neighbor’s curb cuz I saw moss. Thankfully, they’re used to me randomly walking over to their yard and shooting the plants. But, brrrr, it was freezing.

I didn’t document the actual Photoshopping process, but let’s just say, it took longer than it should have. If past-Ivy had thought the whole thing through, it would have been easier, but she rarely does that sooo…

THE MAIN REASON I DID ALL THAT was so I could get free Facebook contact cards from MOO cards! I love their business cards and they’re printing free batches for anyone with the timeline profile!

1. Go to your profile
2. Click on your information
3. Go down to your contact information and click the little business card icon next to it and go get your MOO cards! They’re the best.

Well, I’m going to go do something. I don’t know what yet, but it’ll be something.

Loveee, Ivy. 

Ivy After Dentist: Wisdom teeth edition.

1. Woke up at 7:45am.

2. Threw on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt cuz I wanted to come right back and slide right into bed. 

3. Went to the surgery place. Assistant person recited everything that was going to happen during the procedure and said my bottom lip would feel 10x bigger, but it would only FEEL that way and wouldn’t actually BE that way. She lied. It looks like I’m pouting about everything. 

4. Had little circles and wires attached to me and watched my heart pace for like, 15 minutes. Why? Fricking surgeon/dentist/professional wisdom teeth extractor was late. I watched him park his car and walk into the building. Good form, good form. Also, I tried thinking about sad things, happy things, etc. to see how my heart beat changed. Wow, look at me. Learning things first hand at 8:30am during Winter break

5. Had and IV needle put into my inner elbow. Last time I had teeth extracted, the stuck the needle on the top of my hand. It hurt. This time, it didn’t hurt as much. However, I noticed they always say, “it’s just a little pinch”. Bullcrap.

6. I started feeling very sleepy and floating-y. 

7. Surgeon/dentist/professional wisdom teeth extractor realized he hadn’t plugged the IV tube into the needle in my arm. I felt stupid. Placebo-ed.

8. I actually fell asleep.

9. I think I kinda woke up in the middle of the procedure? I opened my eyes quite groggily and saw aqua which I remembered was the color of the little bib thing they put around my neck. Why they covered my eyes, I’m not sure. It’s not like I sleep with my eyes open. Anyways, there was a little of talking, some pink (I think that was from my dream) and I found it uninteresting and fell back asleep. I wonder if they even realized it happened. Oh, silly me. They didn’t. They had my eyes covered.

10. Woke up, walked like a drunk person up and down the hallway with the assistant person before I could go home.

11. Went home.

12. Replaced gauze, threw up, replaced gauze, went to sleep.

13. Woke up after like, 10 minutes, set up 7 alarms each 20 minutes apart because I was supposed to ice my cheeks for 20 minute intervals. Did a pretty good job. Not much swelling. 

14. Iced my cheeks and just kinda laid there for oh, I don’t know, 3 hours.

15. Checked Twitter. Oops, there goes my bed time reading.

16. I’m getting drowsy. Must be the pill the size of a meal worm I swallowed about 30 minutes ago.

17. Checked my photos/videos on my phone and found two videos of me poking my numb chin and tongue. I didn’t remember filming them which made me laugh 10x more.

18. Watched YouTube.

19. Changed gauze. I changed my gauze a lot. Last time I got teeth extracted, we used tea bags because they’re supposed to work better and FUN FACT, different flavors!

20. Sister made me a smoothie. It didn’t have bananas in it because I hate bananas in my smoothies. That was my dinner. UGH, SOLID FOOD I WANT YOU IN MY TUMMY.

21. Watched more YouTube.

22. Now!

My bottom lip and chin are a tad bit less numb. Like, I can rub my finger against them and kinda feel my finger. Just kinda. If something terrible happens and this becomes permanent, I’m going to slap someone in the face with a chair. A metal chair.

Fun fact: One of my wisdoms was growing completely sideways. Another one was growing against the tooth right in front of it I think it’s called a molar, but I’m not sure. 

Fun fact 2: Actually, technically 3. I had an extra tooth which was taken out when I had my other teeth extracted in middle school so they could fit braces in my mouth cuz yeah, I have a small mouth.

I’m actually really tired, so I’m going to go to bed G’NIGHT.

Pinterest Projects: Braided Scarves

Project time! Who doesn’t like project time. GET OUT.

Anyways, I used this tutorial to make them and just photographed the process! Well, most of it. Enjoy!

Cuz I forgot where the pins were… You make do with what you have.

Look at this old thing!

Sew the piece of cloth lengthwise so it becomes a sleeve for a giant’s cardigan.

Inside out that sucker.

“Sleeves”!

Sewing two sleeves together.

Lalala, braided them, lalala.

Little sister agreed to model them for me. Go check out that tutorial! I couldn’t have explained it any better… cuz I suck at explaining.
