Anyone for some crusty old cereal?
Huzzah gang! These are two tins I bought with my thrifting birthday loot from Miss Molly. I'm a bit knackered from another weekend of moving (yes, again, but will be settled soon!) so all I can string together is "Me buy tins. You nice for reading." Will reply to blog emails this coming weekend. x
The Fashion Trend of Bang Hairstyles
Here we will discuss about some common and at the same time happening bang styles. The bang styles, which we will be discussed, are mainly variation of bob and long bob cut. Blunt haircut now becoming very popular and with addition of some special bangs student's blunt cut of previous years evolved dramatically.
1.Blunt Bangs: Just remember the haircut of Cleopatra. It is the ancient form of blunt bangs. This kind of hairstyle is so much stylish and especially for those who can carry them off brilliantly. It is done in a way, which is just below the eyebrow and fringes are done covering the forehead maintaining the same length. Locks are cut precisely straight across from side to side. The length is up to the neck portion. Chinese hairstyle is like this kind of haircut. Plain, silky hair with medium density can have this cut.
2.Side swept Bangs: This is a haircut, which is gradually textured and generally extended shorter part to longer part. Hair of one side is brushed to sweep across the forehead. So this cut is called side swept.
3.Parted Bangs: This is a modified version of blunt haircut. Parted bangs are very much like the simple blunt haircut but the change is done introducing a partition which is gradually placed either in the middle or slightly to the side. Generally long blunt cut look very good if a partition is added in this haircut.
4.Choppy Bangs: it is also a modified variation of blunt haircut. It has a scissor cut look and then textured for a choppy look. Choppy locks provide an increased depth to the facial features. Thin hair density will look thick and voluminous.
Now the choice is up to you to choose among the different types of bangs presented here. Among the six types of bang hairstyles you are free to choose up the one that suits you face cutting and the hair density. The length between your neck and shoulder is also to play a very important part for choosing a bang hairstyle. If you want to try asymmetrical haircut then at first be sure about that it is not for everybody. Everyone cannot carry it off well. So before having any kind of bang hairstyle be sure to consult your hair expert then apply the proper hairstyle. Consultation software tools can also be used in this respect.

They are different from each other. Left, right or front, back portion are different what can be seen in a symmetrical bangs. Wide variations in the length with one side being shorter and other side being longer are the main feature of this kind of haircut. You cannot even imagine what would be the other side.
6.Disconnected Bangs: Disconnected Bangs are those kinds of bangs, which are not connected with each other. Extreme angles are present in both sides. Edges of tresses are cut into the bangs at unexpected locations and lengths. That's why this type of bangs is called disconnected bangs. It can change your appearance to a great extent when you apply this type of styles to your hair.

Celebrity hairstyles:Jenny McCarthy bob
Jenny McCarthy decided to copy an old Katie Holmes hairstyle. However we think this wasn't the best decision. So called "alien bob" looked strange on Katie Holmes and it looks even more bizarre on Jenny McCarthy! So big minus for Jenny, hope she'll change her hairstyles as soon as possible!

Weekend Re-cap : Homecoming Weekend!
Hey ya'll! I hope everyone has had a great weekend! This weekend was our alma mater's homecoming and our schedule was jam packed with alumni events. I didn't get many pictures, but we had so much fun!
I wish I had taken more pictures! It was seriously such a great weekend. I was almost in tears when I had to say goodbye to Catherine and Christine. (they both moved away after graduation)
Today has just been a lazy day for me. The hubby is playing golf with his dad, so I have just curled up on the couch to watch movies and got a little housework done. I can't believe how fast this weekend went!
Have a great afternoon ya'll!
At Gabe's fraternity alumni banquet. I love these girls! It's funny how I met some of my best friends through Gabe's fraternity.
At the Homecoming game with Christine and Catherine!
Of course we had to eat Mexican food after the game!
Christine was serenaded at dinner!

Halloween Party! Costumes, Ghost Stories, and more!
Hey everyone! I hope you're having a fabulous weekend! I've got a few things for you today, but they're all AWESOME!! So I hope you make it all the way through. :)
Last night I was able to go to a party that my church was throwing for young single adults. I had a blast and was so glad I went. Two of my friends and myself planned our outfits to go together. They were a BIG hit!
idea via
ROCK, PAPER, & SCISSORS
The party was hoppin'...
There were a bunch of festivities going on as well as the dancing- a bonfire with ghost stories, "scary" movies (and by "scary" I mean PG-13), karaoke, limbo, as well as a pie eating contest (makin' me sick to even look at the picture), and a costume contest. We were the favorites to win and in the end a robot beat us... WHAT?!
There were a TON of people there and everyone was dressed in such amazing costumes! These are just some pictures that were snuck onto my camera...
Like I said, it was so much fun! I'm really glad I went!
Now, time to get even more into the Halloween spirit...
Do you believe in ghosts? I don't like to say either way... why tempt them?? If you don't, here are some ghost stories that might make you change your mind...
A little while ago my old ballet teacher Amy, posted on her blog a picture that her sister had taken while in England. I haven't forgotten this picture and I so I asked Amy if I could share it with you today. I stole her explanation of it too- I felt she could explain it better than I could:

What do YOU think?
A couple days ago Lauren shared some videos of "ghosts at Disneyland" on her blog and I couldn't resist sharing them too.
Do you see the "person" walking around?! What?!
As I was watching this a second time it looks as if the hitchhiking ghost is wearing a cast member name tag... and I would know what those look like!
This ones a little harder to see. But CRAZY if you can see it. Looks as if the ghost is having a fun time watching all the scared guests faces until- it just disappears...
Can anyone explain those??
Ok, back to the fun and games. :)
The other night my mom held her annual Halloween Witches Party. This is where she gets a bunch of friends from our neighborhood together, they all dress up as witches (I did her makeup and hair this year), and they have dinner etc. This year it was a Bunco party...
They're all awesome. :)
I have to add in this picture of my sister and her family in their Halloween costumes. It is just TOO cute!! Look at my niece/the chicken's feet! Rubber gloves! Hilarious! My niece/the chicken won the costume contest at their party! :D
Well, sorry it was such a long post. But I had so many things to show you! It was just my way of throwing a little blogger Halloween party. But I'd love for you to join by linking up any of your Halloween themed posts!
Happy Sunday everyone!

"This picture still gives me the creeps. When I first saw this picture, I screamed and my hair stood on end. It is SO REAL!!!
This is taken from a digital camera. There was absolutely no doctoring done to the photo.
(Other than just cropping and enlarging the photo so you can see the faces better--it's blurry because it's about 7 years old and taken with a lower-quality digital camera.)
Look above the two girls' heads.
That is clearly another face.
A ghost.
Here's the story: My sister, Stacey, did a study-abroad in England. They spent one day and night in Salisbury. She and her friend sat on this bench outside a church. Another friend was asked to take a quick photo. As they were skimming through the photos the next morning, they saw the ghost. They did some research and found out that they were sitting on an old, buried graveyard.
Look and the clarity of the face above the two girls. It's not a double of one of the girls because,
1) There would have been a double of EACH girl (and the bench for that matter),
2) The angle of the face is different from each girl, and
3) You can just make out different clothes (old fashioned?) that the ghost is wearing.
It looks like he (she?) just wanted to pop in and be in the picture.
(I have had some people mention and point out there they see TWO ghosts in the picture. Just to the left of the tree, there is a resemblance of a figure there. Maybe.)"
