back from pittsburgh and car is bad

Heyyyy blog.
I went to Pittsburgh and it was fun. I feel a lot more positive from it and also motivated to start achieving some shit and propel my life forward. Ryan is motivating, he represents to me the ultimate adult. How can one be so good at adulting and how is he related to me? His message was basically, "you got one life, do something with it".
And then Julie and the kids were just all so positive and happy!! It was contagious.

So I get back to Knoxville and my car goes kaput. $1220 for repairs! Like, dammit. The engine was misfiring (spark plugs, wiring, etc.) and the brakes need to be replaced.
Naturally I can't afford that right now, so I quit TNG and now I need to find something in the immediate area that I can walk or bike to.
I don't feel like I would've been able to handle this setback if I hadn't of just spent time with family. I'm SERIOUSLY feeling a lot more positive and less anxious, this is not a joke.

Onwards to the next phase of life!

DAY ONE HOMIES

My Closet.

This exposed bamboo stick holds my wardrobe of the moment. I used to love the idea of this but now, as somewhat of a minimalist, I get so tired of the cluttered-ness of it! It spurs me to get rid of clothing I don't really want to get rid of. I need closet space, end of story.

This was Emma's dresser that she had bought on Amazon and used while at Fox Lake. I use it for bottoms/pjs/activewear/underthings. 

Aaaand my storage. I keep out of season things and also some riskier items that I don't have the guts to wear quite yet.

crimped hair day 2

Oh my gosh I love this heat tool. Because my hair holds a curl so well, the second day is king. The style looks almost identical to the overnight braid of my youth aka beautiful.

Tomorrow I'm considering recording my first youtube video :/ depends on my confidence levels... I just watch sooooo much youtube, I figured it was time to try my hand.

And duh! The iron I used is the Bedhead Wave Artist, $24.99 at Walmart.
