Heyaa,
it was a calm sunday.
I am not sure if I told you but I decided to make my sundays the "I do absolutely nothing"-days.
normally when I had time off, I still would do something...even if it is a hobby, or a workout or whatever.
Since I do nothing on sundays, I feel more energetic on the other days.
I felt like the body just needs at least one day to just rest...like, really rest.
Gonna keep you up how that works for me.
I played the piano today and I take back my prior statement.
idk what was going wrong the past days but today was fine, so it definitely is not the extra cm on my nails...luckily. I just had cramps in my hands I guess.
Next to playing the piano and eating and watching tv, I also scrolled a bit through pinterest.
SO, since I said I wanna do inspo posts like others do, here is what my scrolling looked like and what I am taking inspiration in.
This is like the perfect inbetween box braids and curly hair.
Probably will do something like that sometime but first I wanna practice the boxing a bit more.
I also enjoy looking at russian braiding, since I get the styling is more...typical caucasian?does that make sense?
I feel like no matter how I want to describe what I see, it will get out of my mouth terribly wrong.
So I apologize in advance for my next sentence.
I love taking inspo from black people, but some hairstyles are just instinctively black and the russian braiders have more western influence in it.
I like braids but not every style black people do seems suitable for me.
I guess it is easier to just show:
For example they do these cornrows on top of the head with a ponytail in russia.
at least I see more content of russians doing this and barely black people braiding like this.
And the russians often make it straight.
However it will be a little tricky blending with the natural hair, if the hair is a lot shorter (like mine)
What I thought is, you could could do the bottom as box braids and close the braid more on the top, so that the length is straight. The top of the head is made like this then.
The problem with that is though, that I have to use as less hair as possible to not make it too thick.
I thought you could just straighten it, the same way you can straighten silicone wigs but last time I tried crocheting with invisible knots and wanted to straighten it, even on the lowest heat, it just burned, so now I am terrified of that happening lmao.
Some put pearls inbetween the braids and if I ever am able to cornrow, I will definitely do something like this haha.
But I cannot braid for the love of god...and I don't know how to teach me..
I watched sooo many videos teaching how to braid yourself but I can only braid down...not on the scalp.
I need a looot more practice.
I then saw this video of braiding tinsel into the box braids, it is called fantasy braid apparently and I LOVE IT. (I got an idea, more later).
I wasn't into twists but this picture might make me reconsider.
I also saw lots of pictures of cornrows on top of the head and the back curly or braided like this.
I don't like having big braids (like in the bead picture) or having cornrows without some hair in the front, if you get what I mean.
This is actually a cool idea, you have something inbetween.
The way they braided some in the front to make a "fringe". It's genius.
I liked this picture too. Idk, I have a feeling it is a wig but it is laid so damn well, I am not sure haha.
I guess if you have open hair like this, it won't be too bad to have the hair braided to the back. Also since it is only braided on top it also looks great.
This color combo is absolutely amazing.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE neapolitan hair and I wish I could wear a variety of it some day.
So here is the idea: fantasy braids but with this color combo??
with pink tinsel or maybe gold. That would be amazing.
You could do boho braids out of it...maybe that would be even more awesome.
While scrolling, I ended up in lash pinterest lmao.
Maybe THIS is what I want.
I don't want the manga lashes, they don't have enough volume.
THIS IS IT.
Absolutely lethal lash game.
I was wondering a lot about what my SIL does different.
I have been analyzing my lash sets ever since she started doing them for me.
Don't get me wrong, she herself said that she is not experienced and has never done sets like this anyway, so I don't want to sound ungrateful and the sets are getting better over time.
However, I am paying her full price for the sets, so I am on the same level like a regular customer for the sets and I am not as satisfied as I wish to be.
I am looking up the topic a whole lot more than her.
I am getting more and more hyped about this topic.
I even practiced isolation a bit more and guess what.
It works just fine with a curved tweezer.
I was doing the practicing with a straight one and that didn't work, so I thought it would be impossible but with curved tweezer it is actually easy.
kinda.
I have been watching tutorials on diy lash sets and yes, it is "dangerous" but I am also not too inexperienced.
I worked with real glue before and didn't turn blind.
I have quite steady hands from applying the clusters and since isolation practice has been working well for me, I might actually try doing my own sets some day.
Yes it will take some hours but does anything else I do not take hours?
honestly?
Just look at this...no offense but my SIL could never :/
The lashes she uses are a whole lot better though than the ones I got from AliEx.
You could seriously feel the difference so I wanted to look up on the shop myself what kind of lashes get offered there and saw there was also a brow section.
And I entered another inspo hole.
It almost feels embarassing but I had no idea something called brow tints exist.
Whenever I saw a picture like that I THOUGHT ITS MICROBLADED.
brow tints also last like 3-6 weeks apparently??
So yea...I will also definitely do this.
I am so unhappy with my brows, I only feel good when they have makeup on.
This would be an amazing solution for me.
I watched this tutorial on youtube on how it is getting done and it looks like something I can definitely do.
I definitely have to something with beauty as a job.
I am so hyped for these kind of things.
I love love love it.
I almost cried thinking about it, because when I was younger I thought about doing something like this and I was too terrified that you don't make enough money.
Idgaf anymore, let's do this.
I wanna do stuff like that.
So yea, I also looked at some gyaru inspo on pinterest as well and obviously I see some similiarities in what I usually take inspiration in.
I think my gal life isn't...gyaru, it is mostly just makeup and beauty.
That's why I probably like going back every now and then.
I also kind of analyzed why maybe I felt off doing it and it is most likely due to my work.
Like seriously most things I would love to wear, is not acceptable at my workplace.
And especially now in sales, I didn't want to scare off customers and ruin my chances of making sales.
I look forward to doing my own thing also for more freedom.
I am curious...if looks really don't matter for my job and I can look whatever, what will I wear then?
Will I actually do all of these things I kept saying I don't like?
Will I go back to short skirts and dresses?
I would probably need less clothes as well, since I am not going out.
I actually looked for some pretty sets with pants (omg yes, pants) that I will be able to wear as soon as I take customers.
Because honestly, I didn't think of it before but I chill at home with my pajamas...
I cannot take customers in pajamas.
I also don't want to make my pajamas dirty.
So yea, I will need some sets with pants but not too many dresses anymore.
This is a lot of text for a tiny point to make but you see where my thought train is going?
If just the thought of my new job makes me reconsider my wardrobe and shopping habits, what about the rest?
But I stop yapping now, this was supposed to be a picture post, not a yapping post.
I talk too much on my blog lmao.
No filter whatsoever.
Love it haha.
Gotta go take a shower now.
xoxo rinmero
