Ohh mannnn..

Hey again! Joyce here.. ^_^

Just thought I'd have another update today. =)

It;s been really annoying at work lately, it's getting so much harder just to be there. Today, I thought I was going to get fire,d or have to quit, and find a new job, but I was really worried though, about that. Finding a job these days isn't exactly the easiest thing. Especially not in a small town like mine. I still need my job, I haven't even saved up enough for my apartment yet, a couple more weeks, and I'll have my credit card brought down to ZERO! Finally. It's about time..

When it gets to Zero, I can finally start saving. Instead of all my money going to pay off my credit card, because I have an impulse to spend to deal with boredom, or having a really bad day, it helps cheer me up a little, or I need a couple things, and I get something I really didn't need, or did, but not right away, and there is also the need to spend when I hang out with one of my friends so we can have some kind of fresh entertainment.. so I probably shouldn't hang out with anyone while I'm saving my money. It's hard.. 

I've also have my whole healthier eating to lose weight thing up, and running again. I eat one banana a day, I munch on some high fiber, Fiber 1 cereal, and the occasional high fiber Fiber 1 snack at work, and I try not to get fatty dressing on my sandwich. (Caeser. I love you.) Gotta stick with only high fiber stuff, lots of water, and try my best to resist to the cookies, and the doughnuts, and hot chocolate that we have at work.. I don't drink coffee. I do wish I drank green tea though. I'm more of a cold beverage gal though.

Heeyyy! Let me tell you this too! I've begun to get more used to my hair, and it doesn't bother me so much now. Also, I bought some white 'Virgin Snow' toner from manic panic, amplified, to finish off the lightening of my hair, before I add the red it melts into. And, thanks to the tips of the awesome guy from "It's Life" blog, who I have featured above, I have bought some 'Dumb Blonde' Bed Head brand shampoo to wash my bleached hair with! Thanks for the awesome advise, guy! It really works! Did cost a pretty penny though. $13 for one bottle. Whatever, right? I also bought some hand lotion, because my hands are starting to get scratchy dry again.. ick. I should really invest in a new pair of work shoes though... Oh well. -shrug-

How about I show you guys something awesome? Our apartment. I'm moving in with my friend Alyssa, and my younger sister. I'm going to be making some strict rules about the rent.. I am NOT paying this all by myself, seeing as there is now three people going to be living all together in one apartment, so I had to choose a more expensive option with 3 bedrooms. There was no way around it. $450 a month from each of us. It's NOT hard, it's NOT asking too much. Here is our floorplan!

Nice, huh? =D I needed to get a balcony. It was a MUST in my interests.
I have volunteered to take the bedroom with no window, of course. That's alright. An aspiring Interior Decorator like myself sees it as no problem.

I LOVE Unique Every Day Items!



Hey everyone! I'm back now, with my second blog, of course!
I'm feeling very energetic right now, even though I'm really actually tired, and just got done a 2-10 shift at work at Tim Hortons a few hours ago. Seeing as it's 2 am in the morning right now, but I will not go to bed at the moment, because I am having too much fun!!

I just finished watching the first.. 3 episodes of a show called Chuck, and already, I'm really loving it, it's so funny! What really got me wanting to watch it was the fact that Zach Levi is in it, and he was the voice of Flynn Rider in the movie Tangled, which I love. Also, to my surprise, so was the actor who plays Jayne Cobb in Firefly, one of my favourite shows!

I am also on skype with my boyfriend Keith, while he plays League of Legends, and listens to me being crazy over here! Hahaha~ Listening to Bruno Mars' 'Just The Way You Are' song. I looovvee it, it's so sweet!
This also reminded me of something I really want when we are together! Or rather, on of the many things. Haha~ I'm such a child, but I love him, because he is just like me when it comes to doing fun, silly things like that~ <3


INDOOR FORTS / TENTS!

Yes, you heard me correctly! I think they are soo awesome! I've always loved forts. And being in a tent for that matter. The idea of a secluded little spot with dimmed lighting, and also a cozy little space for adventure really gets me excited! I'm going to have to take these into account when I learn more in the career of Interior Decorating.

You know what else I find really awesome? Loft beds, and beds that hang from the ceiling, and hammocks, I absolutely adore cute little things like that, that are out of the ordinary, and I would be MORE than happy to be able to have a client who feels the same way! Glow in the dark stars?
Hell yeah.


Here are some pictures of some really amazing things that there is to consider! 

This one was quite cozy looking!
I LOVE the color scheme, and design, it all looks so lovely!

This one is GOREGOUS! They did a BEAUTIFUL job!!










This one was just downright AMAZING.
I just LOVED This idea!
I don't know, I really liked the touch of plants on this!
