A New Chapter...

Today I started my first day at my new job! It went really well! I am working at a very well known salon in New York called Blow. Their website is www.blowny.com if anyone wants to check it out! They are a 'blow dry bar', meaning that they specialize in blow dry styling. They have been featured in several national magazines: Allure, Vogue, Self, New York Times, etc... for their styling and product line. Most of their clients come in regularly to have their hair shampooed and styled out, either for a special event, or just for everyday life. I am very very excited about the opportunity I have to work at this salon. I will have the chance to learn some very awesome NYC hair techniques here. Even stylists who have worked in the city for years don't know how to do blow-outs the way Blow salon does them, so I will definitely get to learn some killer stuff! I will also get the chance to do cuts and coloring after I get down the styling methods. I really like everyone I work with also. They have all been very friendly and helpful. I'm hoping I'll be able to make some good friends there. One thing is for sure though, they won't be able to take the place of all my Style Room girls!
It's finally starting to get pretty freakin' cold here! I really am hoping we get our first snow at Christmas, it would be awesome if we had a white Christmas for our first NYC Christmas!
Hugs and Kisses :)

Excited for Christmas!

This weekend I went to KC to visit family and friends. I had such a great time catching up with everyone! Kyle had to work the entire weekend, so unfortunately he wasn't able to come with me. :(
When Kyle got home from work Sunday night, the two of us went out for a late night dinner to catch up on how our weekends were! We left Roxy in the living room as we always do, and she always does fine being in there, never getting into anything.... except last night! You see, I had completely forgotten about the fact that I had put all the gifts from Grandma Marilyn under our Christmas tree before we left for dinner. Normally Roxy leaves these things alone (she really is a good little girl, she'll be on Santa's nice list this year!) Well, apparently there was one gift that just became too tempting, as she decided to unwrap it while her Mom and Dad were away at dinner! Kyle and I came home after being gone for about an hour and a half to find our little Roxy laying on the couch chewing on not one, but two raw hide bones! Wrapping paper was shredded up everywhere, bones were all over the living room, and little Roxy had a guilty look on her face. She knew she had been caught! After I had picked up all the mess, I looked at the bag the bones had come in, and it was a twenty pack, which means that our little ten pound dog ate 9 bones in 1 1/2 hours!!!! Maybe she will be on Santa's naughty list after all! :)

Christmas Windows...

One of the things I've LOVED about moving to New York is that we were able to get out here before the holidays! I am a Christmas QUEEN! I LOVE Christmas! :) Christmas in NYC is HUGE! All of the stores decorate their windows, I mean ALL the stores, grocery stores, restaurants, retail stores, everyone! I LOVE it!!!! I went shopping today and got Kyle some presents... I snapped a few pictures of the store windows at Bloomingdale's on my phone as I walked by! OF course, my favorite is the shoe display! It has a Christmas tree covered in shoes, a huge shoe with a shoe 'escalator' going up it and everything!!! Enjoy!
Hugs & kisses :)
