So. I live with my parents again. After a year of not being at home, I came back home. But not to stay, just until I go to the Air Force boot camp in Texas. And to do this I have to go through a waiting period.And to go through a waiting period I have to go through MEPS (like the most intese check up ever) which is in Jacksonville, FL. To go to MEPS I have to take the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery). And before I take the ASVAB I have to take the ASVAB practice test.....and guess who just passed the practice test with an above average score...

Yep. I did.

This is my face right now:

Imagine Dragons-It's Time

I've been completely enthralled with this song for a while now. thought I'd post it here :] enjoy.

This is one of my favorite versions of the song. Here is the version on the radio:

And now because of this song I really want to learn how to play the mandolin....

Here is a little piece of useless knowledge for you. Did you know that Gibson (you know the guitar company that every aspiring guitarist wishes they had a guitar from because they sound so nice) actually started by manufacturing quality mandolins? No? Well now you do.

Do you know how difficult it is to land a computer on Mars?

That's okay if you don't. I didn't until I watched this video:

Really cool stuff. I was actually read a national geographic magazine that in a few hundred thousand years, we could live on Mars. Scientists have mad a "plan" to take Mars' atmosphere and make it like Earths. Pretty cool.

My Boo Boo

This is my Boo Boo. I got it today at work. it was just a small boo boo but it really hurt, a customer was nice enough to give me an angry bird band-aid.

See? ------------------------------------------>

Mary Kay Vs. Pink Truth's

noreply@blogger.com (Savanah Jeanne) — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 09:41:00 +0000

When I went to visit my parents last weekend, I had a chance to see one of my really great friends Ashley and her sister Rose. I spent quite a few hours talking with them and my mother about girl things and life in general. Ashley has been getting into Mary Kay Cosmetics and has joined their "team" so she can host parties and sell products. She and her mom are both doing this. I thought it was sweet that they were kind of doing it together and Ashley is still able to go to school and make a little bit extra money on the side. This all sounded like so much fun I thought I would start looking into it. First I went to Mary Kay's actual web site. I loved it. It was fun looking around and I came to a conclusion that they are a really great company for woman who have these goals in mind:

looking professional
looking and feeling natural and healthy
education in correctly applying makeup so it doesn't look like you just took your make up kit and slapped your face with it
using good cleansers and keeping your skin healthy
looking trendy without looking like a hooker (always good)
having that "night time look" also without looking like a hooker

All in all they seem very classy, which I really like and look for. You can get this with Sephora, but I've been in a lot of Sephora stores and noticed that they really like to pump up that hip, new tween-teen look...I'm 19 and I'm okay with that. I want to look like a young woman not a little girl playing dress up. So Mary Kay seemed pretty cool to me because I can wear make up and not look too old or to young.

Now with this said, right now I'm also a HUGE advocate of saving every dollar. I've become a super penny pincher. I scare people that's how bad I save. To some members of my family it may not seem that way because I have trouble contacting them...that's because I try not to pay my "phone bill" (phone card). So I understand the woman who says...Mary Kay just doesn't meet my budget.

However, I'm not buying out the whole store and I don't feel like anybody else has to either. I don't see why I can't find just one product I enjoy right now...like their face wash or a certain color lipstick. I think that if I have money to spare later on for myself...well then maybe I'll buy that blush to match this lipstick or whatever...

Well after looking over a whole bunch a stuff I started to feel really good about starting Mary Kay. Excited even....then I saw this:

It's basically a website that bashes Mary Kay and their consultants. If you click on the image it will take you to the website.

As I looked through the website I saw that they had a forum. I wanted to see what other people were saying about Mary Kay and what they saw or experienced themselves from Mary Kay and what their thoughts were on the web sites posts and such. Well to be able to see these comments you have to register. So I did but before you are let into the forum you have to agree to not given any kind of praise to Mary Kay. Actually I can give you a link to that page.

Pink Truth's Site Guidelines

Now somethings that were mentioned in the forums were that once you do sign up they try and sell stuff to you immediately. I haven't found out if it's mandatory to buy something or if you can wait or what. But I do know that only someone who already has a basic knowledge of how to sell and promote Mary Kay or someone who is absolutely crazy is going to buy immediately or buy a $600 package immediately...and since I am neither...I won't do either. I would first like to feel it out you know? I would like to really talk to people who have been doing this for a while and also those who just started to ask questions.

Also some women said they didn't like the emails they were getting about either you are going to reach for your goals or you are going to be a quitter. Apparently many women felt pressured and so therefore felt stressed out. This made it not fun for them. My thoughts on that are, seeing as how my current job did that, and so did my last job...and the job before that....I don't really think anybody gets away from it (the pressure of working super hard for the company I mean). But even then when I had those jobs, I usually just thought about how I could have fun or how I could make someone else happy. And honestly that made my bosses happy too. Because a happy customer makes a happy company. So I don't feel that pressure like everybody else does.

Another issue for the ladies on this site was that they started Mary Kay so they could bring in a little more income but still be at home with their family. But after a year or so they started to get more and more involved in going to the conferences and meetings and such. And before you know it they were not able to spend much time at home at all. Had to get that shiny new pink Cadillac that was this months BIG prize or that trip to Paris. And my thoughts on that is, don't blame Mary Kay for your lack of commitment to your own goals. Unless a Mary Kay consultant put a gun to your head and said you will bring in this much money and win this gosh dang car....no one made you do anything. The time spent with your family is completely up to you. Now that's not to say that I'm not going to want to go to a meeting or conference or whatever they are called. I've look those up too and they look like a lot of fun and you learn a lot too. But if anything gets in the way of visiting family or spending time with people I've come to call family now, then it's just not worth it. Not for me anyway. Maybe that means I won't get too far in Mary Kay. Oh well.

As for me. I think I've come to the conclusion that Mary Kay is something I would like to do. I would love to include my Grandmothers, Mother and Aunt and any other woman I wish to spend more time with.

What are your thoughts?

My computer broke :/ So I've been late with picture posts. But then I got a new computer. A computer that does magical things. So now I'm getting back on track with it and Picture Post Fridays!

I want this room.

What's been going on???

noreply@blogger.com (Savanah Jeanne) — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:11:00 +0000

A lot has been up in my life. Just recently came back from a visit at my parents house. It was AMAZING! I miss them all so much. My nineteenth birthday past recently...okay I guess not so recent anymore now that it's August. My birthday was June 23rd. My siblings sent my a video of Gabby playing happy birthday on the piano and her and my sister Ivy and brother Gavin singing along. I cried. It was beautiful. It was so nice to see them last weekend. I got to talk to my parents and just hang out and enjoy them all. It was refreshing. Now I'm home and I'm back to working at Lowe's. Hoping and praying they keep me as part time. I'm seasonal right now.

Also recently, I've become a huge geek by playing Skyrim whenever I get the chance. I now have something to talk about with the geek squad when I need to go into Best Buy :] It's a really fun game. And if you are a super geek you can actually modify it with codes and programs that you can buy from other super geeks. I'll have to remember to post a video to show you what I'm talking about later.

I have been really into anthropology lately...not to be confused with the store I always talk about. Not I mean the study of anthropology. I'm going to research it a little more and then do a whole post on it. I'm pretty sure it's what I want to go to school for. Also another topic of discussion: school after high school. I think I'm going to do what I originally was going to do when I lived with my parents. I have rediscovered my hatred for all public schools so I've decided to do any extra schooling online. It's just easier for everyone that way. Especially all the public college professors that I know would absolutely hate to have me in their class. At least they would around here, not very classy.

Well, I'm off to do some more work. But as you can see I have a lot to talk about so I'll be back.

Until then Good Night.

I love this song. Beware that if you start looking up some of their other songs you may come across some language that is unnecessary. So don't just buy their cd and blare it in your minivan full of children. But they are really great artists otherwise. I really enjoy their music.

For the first time this summer, I'm going swimming! Yes, its in a lake that's considered less than clean, and yes I have to jump off a ten foot bridge, but I can't wait. I hope I get pictures so I can post them here. Until then, good morning.

The Power of Words

noreply@blogger.com (Savanah Jeanne) — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:24:00 +0000

I decided not to go to church today.

noreply@blogger.com (Savanah Jeanne) — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 02:56:00 +0000

Instead I stayed home and watched a movie...or three and ate some chocolate and brushed my hair and got dressed in a skirt and t-shirt that did not match and planned on taking a shower but haven't yet. I've been lazy. Haven't even made my bed yet and it's almost 11 at night.

I'm in a bit of a predicament. I cannot find a church I actually want to attend. This makes me feel like a heathen. I'm not sure if I should just suck it up and go or not. I don't want to go and feel like it's okay to believe and act the way the people who attend do. Because I can say that I don't want to be like them just by attending once or twice. And everywhere I turn I'm hit in the face with "our church supports homosexuality...even we do it" with their same sex marriage pastors and deacons or their women pastors. I don't support that so I don't want to attend a church that does. And I believe that by not attending I am saving myself from conforming. But it gets hard when people you trust and enjoy being with say "yeah, but the men who preach are great " (speaking in terms of the women pastors). Or "but if you could only over look...". I just can't overlook those things. And every time I attend those types of churches I have a strong urge to slap every one. You may laugh, but I'm not joking. There is this weight at the bottom of my stomach that just weighs my whole body down and I just want to act like a crazy person when I come in contact with these people. Maybe I'm a snob or a prude. I don't know. It has just been really weighing me down. That and some other things, but this is a big thing for me. I just can't seem to put what I believe aside for the sake of attending "church" if I can even call the places I've been that.

In other news, I'm trying to find a time to visit my parents. I can't wait to see my sisters and brother. They sent me a birthday video recently. It made me so happy I cried the first time I watched it at my grandparents house. But money is becoming an issue. I was going to try and visit them the second week of July but now I have no choice but to try for the third week. Either way it's important I see them so I'm trying hard to make it work. We shall see what happens.

Goodnight
