SO happy for Sephora!

So, after watching countless youtube vidoes and hearing so much about how great Sephora is, I'm soo happy that my local JC Penny's is getting one. :)
a lot of people say its super expensive, but I went online and found that not everything is expensive. (most of it is, but not all of it.) I can't wait them to finish building it so i can look through the products and see what the hype is about.

deleted youtube videos..

I deleted my youtube videos b/c i wanted to do makeup videos and hair tutorials. BUT I can't do those b/c:
       1. I have braids and can't talk too much about hair except how to care for your braids.
       2. I need a better understanding of how to do makeup before I start telling other people how to do it. lol.
      3. I'm starting a hair journey as soon as I take out my braids and I am in no way an expert (yet) on hair and how to make it healthy or how to make it grow.

And I haven't been writing a lot b/c I was busy at work and stuff. And this week I've been sick. :( I'm feeling better today though.

Working at target is okay..I prefer being a waitress but I'll get over it.

youtube videos.. :(

I HATE making youtube videos because I always look gross on camera. I actually dont think i look that bad in pictures or in person, but on camera i always seem homely. :( I guess the more videos I make I'll learn how to look better. ? maybe. and my voice sounds extra deep. like, manly. I'm going to have to put more personality and not be so monotone in my next videos. lol.
see? normal!

Expect More, Pay Less.

ohmigawd!

I got the job at target! YAY! I've been looking for months- since October 4th so... about 9 months! (ever since I turned 16). It was real messed up how it went though so this is exactly what happened:

I got there about five minutes early (i wanted to be there about 10 minutes early but I was runnin a lil late). So I told the lady who looked official that I was ready to have my third interview. Her face immedeatly dropped and said that all the HR (head rescources) people LEFT FOR LUNCH and they'd be back in about an hour! What I did after that was walk around target moseying through the cosemtics and hair department until they figured out what they should do with me. My sister (who already works at target) talked to the lady and then they called the person who was supposed to be doing my interview.

About ten minutes later I was in some lady's office and she said 'This is your official job offer'. As much as I wanted to scream 'GIMMIE THE FRIGGIN JOB!', I said calmly 'Yes, I would like the job'. Now all I have to do is pass a drug test (that'll be easy) and they'll do a background check on me and I'll be the next target employee. yay!

after all of that my sister took me out to eat to at applebees!

Target

 Soo.. today at exactly 5:18pm target called me and said that they wanted me to come in for a third interview. :) like i said last time if you get to the third interview then you got the job. :) :) but idk..i'm still a little bit scared and nervous. the interview is tomarrow at 1:30. So tomarrow I'll tell you if I got the job or not.  (even though I'm pretty sure I did!)

Rambling about my second work out week.

I really like this new exercise. The first time I did this I did the exercise wrong but yesterday I did it right. This week consists of dancing and still doing the yoga. My legs are kind of sore from the exercises like I didn't stretch well enough afterwards.

One exercise I am doing is pulling my left knee to my chest, then my right, then landing in a squat position. I really like it because It kind of gives me a cardio and leg work out in one move. It doesn't say how long to do this exercise but then I learned that you're supposed to do it for the length of one song then switch exercises for the next song. That doesn't work for me b/c I'm not ready to push myself that much yet. So what I do instead is do the squat-move for one verse of the song then the chorus then I switch moves. I'll keep updating about how its going.
DISCLAIMER:
These moves are from seventeen magazine-August 2010.

anxious for Senegalese Twists

I am so anxious to get these twists in my hair! I'm probably going to get them next friday or so but i want them NOW for so many reasons. Mostly b/c I'm sick of my hair. I'm really tired of wrapping it every night and not getting into the pool b/c it's going to frizz. I've had kinky twists before and I liked those but senegalese (sin-uh-gleese) are smaller and longer from the pictures I've seen. I would get kinky twists but their so thick that I couldn't do anything with them but wear them down all the time. I couldn't put them in a pony tail or anything so they were boring. But these seem thinner. I haven't seen them in person but I like what i've seen on youtube and pictures on the internet. IDK what color I want. I know i don't want my regular color-maybe a light brown with a burgandy undertone? I'm not sure. Once I get these braids out, then I'm going to start the new hair routine I mentioned in my other blog. (epiphanymagaline.blogspot.com) But that won't be for a couple of months. :)

NOTE: neither of these pictures are of me.
They are random examples that
I found on the internet.
