OOTM

OOTM


Learning about what is fashionable and what is not is not on my top to do list, or was not on my top to do list until now. I still have clothes from back in high school that I still wear (not joking) lol, So I decided to do a OOTD. I am not very good at this but I surely need to learn! So here is the outfit that I am wearing today.

                                                      What do you guys think??

                                               I am liking this outfit. It makes me feel
powerful like I am in control of the new me! 

This is also the first protective  hairstyle for this year (2014). I'm well on my way to healthy hair! I would say I will posting an OOTD everyday but since I am working with what I got I think I will be doing maybe an outfit of the month! This is a whole new me for the year 2014. As I look back, I think I forgot who I was. After having 2 kids that are in school and a husbands in the army,  and myself in school I just felt like I never had time for just me. Now I am going to make time, be happy and live life each moment at a time because life is to short to complain about the stuff you can't change. My saying for this year is, "leave 2013 and the rest of the past in the past because what it done is done! Work on a better future for my family and myself!!"

The beginning!

Deciding to start a blog was actually kind of hard for me to do. Just for the simple fact that at this moment I really don't know what to talk about and this is my first blog. So I guess I can talk about what is happening in my life at this moment. My name is Malinda as you know and my husband is in the army . We have two children together and we have been together for 8 going on 9 years. We have been married for going on 4 years. We lived in Alaska for a year and a half then we had to move to Washington which we are currently in. We have been here for a year and a month. We are about to movie to Germany in 2 months but he is talking a month and a half of leave to go back to our home town to visit family and friends; I honestly cannot wait!
How was Alaska?
Well Alaska wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. The military base there was small but I guess in my opinion it was good because I hate driving long distance in snow. I remember when my children and I got off the plane it was -60 degrees out side. I remember walking outside for the first time and my nose hairs instantly froze and it was kind of hard to breath. Plus on top of that It was during the dark part of the year so it was constantly dark. Very different feeling coming from daylight to constant night time. It was the same in the summer time, it as not to hot and not to cold it was the perfect summer, besides the constant daylight. That was hard on the children the most. All they wanted to do was stay up and play in their beds. So we had to go and get dark curtains to try to trick them.
We did go and see Santa's House at the North Pole as well as his reindeers. I do have to say that there are so bad children with parents that just don't care to watch their damn kids. The reason why I say that is because there was a few kids there that was getting on Santa's reindeer nerves a agitating one of them to the point where they had to take him away because he was getting a little aggressive.
That is about it for Alaska. But if you have a chance to go to Fairbanks, I don't know. I would say to go anchorage because they have a lot more stuff to day and they have a n actual downtown to go do something. I am not knocking Fairbanks but it is just a small city with every limited things to do.
How is Washington?
Washington is a fun place to be if you like to do things. I live about 20-30 minutes away from Seattle. I like it here, I just don't like how it rains a lot here. There is a lot to do but it is not very fun when it seems like it is always raining. I also live 10 minutes away from downtown Tacoma, which is convent when I want to go to the mall or other store for clothes, shoes, and random things.





                                              Hair Time!!



Now that is out the way lets get started on the real situation here MY HAIR!! Alaska was a vey dry state which I learned quickly that my hair need moisture when I tailored my hair for and it work wonders, then I moved to Washington (the State) and Since my regimen was tailored for Alaska I experienced some really bad breakage and shedding and I could not for the life of me understand why. Then one day my husband said he was tired of it raining all the time there and BAM Light Bulb... I was over moisturizing my hair. Sure enough I was and I had to retailor my hair to fit nature. That worked but I had lost a lot of hair so I cute it all to one length which was and inch or two above my chin. Now we are in Germany and Germany is like Alaska and Washington put together. The winter is dry but the summer is humid and sticky! So it kind of works out perfectly for my because I can tailor my hair for both. I have been here for about 3-4 months now and I got the perfect hair regimen. If you want to see my regimen the go take a look at my Regimen page and tell me what you think. With all that said lets get started growing hair!!
