NEW HAIR

 Well, here it is.... I was too lazy to post yesterday's outfit so I am going to do that at the end of this post but figured you would want to see my new hair cut and color from last night first!!!!

The inspiration by the way for the outfit was from the recent Bloomingdale's catalog:

 Well it was a lot of firsts last night.... I have never had my hair cut this short. I have actually only cut my hair once in my life to shoulder length my senior year in high school besides that it has always been medium to long length. Even though I have been blonde before it was always via highlights and I had never bleached it. This was achieved by first bleaching my whole head!. I have also never thinned my hair where as this hair cut required it. Before the thinning it was amazing how 'momsy' and classic and boring it looked...
I am going to enjoy this length for the summer I think. We'll have to see how I do with the styling... I washed it for the first time tonight after our workout and I can already see there will be a lot of different styles I can do with it from curly to wavy to straight.... :)

LOOK HOW SHORT IT IS!!!!!

 Even my hair dresser was in aw of my bravery and guts with going so short!

YESTERDAY:
We had a fun (and cold day) at Sea World with our class field trip and my dad joined us too.
The girls were just in heaven hanging together. We ditched the stroller so we can get them to walk which they did fine but my goodness getting from point A to point B was like herding a very crazy and chaotic group.  It was nice cause my Dad got to see what a crazy group of mom's we are and also how much we operate as a group supporting and helping each other every step of the way without actually having to ask or tell each other what to do. It is pretty amazing.
The moms I think were more exhausted than the kids by the afternoon!

 My son didn't come with us as he had school but we took the photo before he left for school....

 In the parking lot. You can feel how cold it was....

Shopping for Dad and Visual FBFF

 Today's outfit was inspired by a magazine photo but I forgot to take a picture of it. I wouldn't have though of pairing animal print scarf with stripes but it does work. The forecast keeps saying the weather is supposed to be in low 70s but honestly we do not feel that way so I continue to dress for fall and feel perfectly comfortable.

 This ruffle trim trench is soft and comfy...

Trench - Guess

Striped top - From Turkey

Scarf - TJ Maxx

Jeans & Boots - Forever 21

 We are supposed to post a photo of ourselves with no make-up and talk about our 'relationship' with make-up.

Here is my 'natural' face photo:

 As you probably noticed this is not really that different than my look on any normal day. Hence why I pose with sunglasses so frequently. I 'love' make-up but I rarely 'use' make-up. I am somewhat obsessive about my facial routine and cleansing and when I put make-up on I just can't wait to take it off and clean my face. So, my daily make-up routine consists of a moisterizing primer, concealer for under eyes, a mineral powder that is barely there (my mom is not sure why I bother with it) and a bronzer used as a blush.
If I feel adventurous I might add some eye shadow.
I only wear eye liner and mascara if I am going out at night on a special occasion.

TODAY:
Since today was Veteran's Day here in USA no pre-school, so we went to the indoor play area and met 2 other friends there. Of course it was a zoo but the kids had fun. After naps we drove up north for my son's T-Ball. But we didn't stay and hang around like we normally do afterwards and had dinner with friends. Instead we rushed home and had the dinner I had cooked earlier in the day. Then I picked up my Dad to do some b-day shopping for him. He obviously had not idea when he agreed cause he was overwhelmed with all the sifting of clothes, looking at everything trying on so many things. But we did have fun especially with the hats. Since chemo he wears a hat all the time which looks great but for going out or special occasions we were (well 'I') was trying to find a hat besides the 'charges' or the 'usta' baseball cap. These were the only ones I could convince him on.  And I used my new i-phone to take some photos and it takes quite amazing ones.
Here are some outfits we got for Dad. I can't get them to rotate for some reason even though they are rotating on my computer.

And here is a photo of my little monkey as I was testing the phone camera...
