Happy Things #21

I just got back from Sci Fi Expo so I’ll be working on that post soon. For now here are lots of happy things to share with you! (Click on the photos to see them bigger.)

I have been working on decorating my room since I moved. Here is my makeup desk! I painted this myself and was using this in my salon. The moon mirror is from my room growing up that my parents thankfully kept. I love it!

I also love this colorful corner next to my bed. I think I might mount some shelves on that wall where the bulletin board is so I can put more toys and stuffed animals out. 😛

I am really late posting this but here’s a glimpse at some of the fun things I got for Christmas.

I found this Shredder Funko Pop! toy at the bookstore while at the mall. I would love to have all the turtles some day, too!

My hair is ridiculously thick and since I’ve been growing it out it’s really getting out of hand. I don’t think I’m ready to cut it yet so instead I bought some scrunchies to pull it up! These are so comfy to sleep in and add a pop of color to your outfit.

My mom taught me how to crochet when I was young, but I couldn’t find my crochet hook. So the other day I bought a new one and got some yarn! I learned how to make a flower from this YouTube video and attached a hair clip to the back. These Disney Princess inspired flowers and starfish rings are listed in my Etsy store!

It was about this time last year that my dad and I began planning our trip to Disney World. So I think that’s why I am on such a Disney kick right now. We probably won’t be going back this year, so instead I am decking myself out in Disney gear. I got these awesome Little Mermaid leggings at Target for only $15! I even bought the movie on Blu-Ray and have already watched it twice.

When I found out one of my favorite tattoo artists Matt Van Cura was in town I knew I had to get something from him before he left. A couple years ago he tattooed my Harry Potter themed tattoo. It’s one of my absolute favorites. So I knew I could trust him to do an awesome job again. I got Ariel on my leg and am blown away by how amazing she came out. I love her so much!

This fun photo was taken at my friend Krystle Starr’s house. She and her fiancé needed some people to help film a video for All-Con. I had so much fun dancing and being goofy with all my friends! I went back a couple days later dressed as Ramona Flowers to film some more. You can watch the video here.

My dad got tickets to a Dallas Stars hockey game for Christmas! I was so excited to go with him. We had pretty great seats and ate a ton of food. We were even featured on the big screen for a few seconds! I was happy the Stars won that night, too!

Pixie has been just as silly as ever. I love her so much =^.^=

The second picture is an app called Comic Touch 2.0. Maybe I’ll make a Pixie comic series!

:+:+:+:+:

What has made you happy lately? 🙂

Lately the thing that has made me happy is getting my SDCC badges! My whole "crew" (we dubbed ourselves the Underground Railroad) got what they wanted.

Happy Things #20

This is a bit of a random Happy Things post.. Because it includes a lot of things I had meant to blog about from a couple months ago and just didn’t find the time to post them. I did share most of these things via Instagram so be sure to follow me there to stay up-to-date 🙂

So back in September I got to attend a Supernatural convention! I went by myself, had a terrible seat during the Q&A, and autograph tickets were already sold out. So typing up a whole blog post seemed kinda pointless since I didn’t take too many photos. But listening to the Q&A with Sam and Dean was awesome, and I did fork out some money to get a picture with Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) .. I loved him in Gilmore Girls, too, so that was an added bonus.

Next event I wanted to blog about was the Paramore concert! They’re probably my favorite band, and I danced to all the songs in their set! My mom went with me and we had pretty good seats right in the middle, but neither of our phones got very clear pics. I did buy a shirt, tho 🙂

The day before Thanksgiving, Medieval Times posted on their Facebook that tickets were only $25 for that night’s show. Normally, a ticket is like $60-$70.. so I begged my parents to take me since the price was so low ^.^ I absolutely LOVE going to Medieval Times. I have lost count how many times I’ve been there now. And I am pretty sure some of the knights recognized me. You get to eat a huge meal (with your hands!) and watch an awesome show. Huzzah!

A couple weeks ago I bought this Carissa Rose print. I’d like to get a nice frame for it and hang it up in my room. She makes really cool, colorful artwork.

You may have noticed my hair color changing quite a bit throughout all my posts and pics.. I change it so often that I forget to make new blog posts about it. Or maybe I think y’all get tired of seeing those kinds of posts? I dunno .. but here’s some pics of what I’ve done lately!

I was planning on just touching up my roots with more purple.. but when I put the bleach on it started turning kinda green. So I just went with it and added more teal dye. 😛

The most recent color I’ve done was bleaching out the green/teal and this time adding pink to the roots. People usually ask me how I change my color so much without damaging it. I always use demi-permanent color, and I haven’t put bleach on the ends of my hair in about 7 months. I only have to do the roots for now. The color at the middle/ends is from that time I put dark purple on it.. and this is what it’s faded to. I did shampoo the pink dye down towards the bottom to give it a more pinkish glow.

This picture makes me so happy!!! I entered the official Mortal Instruments Pinterest board contest and was one of the 5 winners! I heard about it from their Facebook page and since I am totally addicted to Pinterest, I had no problem spending an entire night making a Clary Fray Inspired board. There were quite a few entries, but I saw my name listed as one of the winners and freaked out!! I emailed them my address and a few days later got a box from Sony Entertainment. It had the movie on BluRay/DVD, the movie’s soundtrack, Jace’s stele, tattoos, trading cards, a journal, bag, and t-shirt. The item I was most excited for was The Shadowhunters Codex. I wasn’t expecting to get all these amazing items so I was really really happy!!

My next happy thing is the jewelry I ordered from Kuma Crafts. This beautiful Sailor Moon necklace has been on my wish list for quite some time. I finally decided to order it, and I am so glad I did. It’s exquisite!! It’s so well-made, glitzy and girly, and looks great with any outfit. The package came with some adorable stickers, too!

And finally, a Happy Things post wouldn’t be complete without a picture of Pixie Doodle.

:+:+:+:

What has made you happy lately?

Happy Things #2

Is it too soon to post another Happy Things? Nah! I couldn’t resist sharing a photo of the headband I mentioned finding in a drawer. Got quite a few compliments on it at work. It’s from Sam Moon.

And I may have gone a little overboard with the kitty condo .. But Pixie loves to climb! And it was really cheap at Ross. Typically, a condo of this size runs about $200+ and I got it for only $100. Woot!

Pixie looking uber cute next to some soft pillows.

And this doesn’t exactly qualify as a “happy” thing, but I wanted to share it. Last night we had some crazy storms roll through that kept me and the kitty up. This was some of the aftermath. I saw a lot of other cars with limbs on them, and the power to my garage stopped working. It’s been a wild morning so far!

Pixie looks awesome on top of that tower (and next to the pillow), and you did an awesome job with your hair/makeup.

That picture of your apartments after the storm looks a lot like pictures I took of my apartments after the hurricane. At least with a hurricane, you usually get fair warning.

Happy Things #19

Here are some things that have made me happy:

Pixie Doodle being a pretty kitty!

And here she is helping me play Animal Crossing.

Marshal is one of the funniest characters on Animal Crossing! I just love him.

My friend Natalie shared this adorable photo of a kitty named Cuddles!! He was in for a teeth cleaning 🙂

I went to the local pumpkin patch to pick up one for the holidays. Last year my pumpkin didn’t even last a week.. Hopefully this one makes it to Thanksgiving!

They had cute little bunnies and ducklings there, too!

I finally signed up for Pottermore, and I was sorted into Gryffindor! I couldn’t believe it! I also was given a larch wand with phoenix feather core! I tried brewing a potion and it was really difficult. But the rest of the website sooo cool.

I’ve always wanted a Friday the 13th tattoo and couldn’t believe I didn’t already have one. I’d been meaning to post this because I got it in September but just kept forgetting! A lot of tattoo shops do specials on this day so I got this one for only $20!

Well I am guessing that a lot of people dressed up as Princess Peach for Halloween because my crown tutorial post had nearly 2000 hits in October! A few readers sent me pics of their finished crowns, too, which I think is just the coolest thing. 🙂 I decided to add a template to the post to help people make it, too.

And this meme was just too cute not to share!

:+:+:+:+:

Anything making you extra happy this week?

Pixie is cute as always, and Cuddles is awesome looking! I'd love to see the two of them together. It's a good thing Cuddles already has a loving home, otherwise I think you'd have no choice but to adopt him.

Hufflepuff ftw btw!

Happy Things #18

So much to blog about lately!!! I need to sit down and type up a lot posts.. For now please enjoy this Happy Things post! 🙂

A few weeks ago I dyed my hair purple and pink!

I love this dark purple. I’m actually considering doing my whole head this color. I’ve been wanting to go dark lately, and this might be a good baby step 🙂

These wigs were at Target in the Halloween section. How fun are they?!

Pixie must have been really happy here 😛 What a cutie!

I ordered GlitzyGeekGirl stickers to hand out at Dallas Fan Days over the weekend! They were a hit! I am thinking about ordering buttons for next time.

The other day I wore my hair in pigtail buns and did a zig zag part.

It was hard taking this photo by myself .. lol .. But I really liked how it turned out. (I know my roots look yellow.. that’s one reason I want to dye it all dark)

I brought my 3DS to Dallas Fan Days to get street passes, and I must have picked up Pietro from someone! I really like Pietro, but he lives in my Mom’s town .. so it kinda weirds me out that there’s two of him 😀

This is really silly and will only be funny if any of my EQ2 friends read this. I was uploading a pic to Tinypic and had to fill out a captcha.. well Carpe Diem is the name of my guild on EverQuest 2 so I got excited lol

If you have never heard of Jeremiah Ketner then you need to check out Small and Round immediately! I absolutely adore all of his artwork. It’s so whimsical! I especially loved this kitty he posted on Instagram.

But anywho, all about fan days. Meeting JDF and Robert Patrick was awesome. Great guys, real down to earth. Trying to build a salmon ladder but I just haven't been feeling well the last few days. Still, dominating this nuzlocke challenge on Pokemon Gold. All will fear the name "Unas!"

Happy Things #17

Well I just had an amazing weekend at The Vampire Diaries convention and now I am recovering from yet another post-con depression.. lol .. I can’t wait to upload all my photos and tell you about meeting the actors and actresses. So I will be making a post about that soon! Also, big congrats to the winners of my Kick-Ass 2 Poster Giveaway! Thank you all for entering and keep checking for another giveaway soon! For now, here is a Happy Things post to get us through another work week!

I am super happy that I was picked by Grimm Bros as a winner for a 4 Day Ticket to PAX Prime! This gaming convention has been on my wish list for a long time. I am so grateful I finally get to attend! The convention is NEXT WEEK! omg! But I am ridiculously thankful I’ll get to visit Seattle and see this awesome event. I feel like it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that I did not want to miss! For PAX Prime I will be cosplaying Annie from League of Legends on Saturday. This was a last minute costume, but it came together so well. I will be making another post about it with photos soon!

I found this super cute minion makeup on Pinterest! How fun!

One of my rad readers suggested I try the avocado egg rolls from The Cheesecake Factory! These were delicious!! Thank you for suggesting these! I definitely recommend ordering them. Yum!

I recently ordered new business cards for my salon.. and when they arrived I squealed because they are so cute! These are a design I found on Zazzle. They make really great quality cards, and you can customize them.

Once I got my new cards in, I decided to re-do my salon’s Facebook page. I love playing around in Photoshop and enjoy designing my sites. You can “Like” my salon’s page here!

LOL

And if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook then you saw I recently changed my hair color! I ate some cotton candy a few days ago and it inspired me to color my hair. It’d been a long time since I had a funky color. I was trying to keep it blonde so I can dress up as Legolas without a wig, but I might get a wig anyway since my hair still isn’t quite as long as his.

Also, Pixie Doodle says Hello to everyone!

Happy Things #16

Happy happy happy!

First thing on my happy list is the progress on my Legolas cosplay! I just got this amazing green suede coat/dress from a vintage seller on Etsy. I’m going to alter it to become Legolas’ tunic!

I also received my custom made leather bracers. These have the same pattern that are on Legolas’ and are designed to fit my tiny wrists. The seller RenManLeather did an amazing job. I could have never made something as beautiful as these. I also have the cloak, leggings and bow, but I will save those for a later post 🙂

Another fun project I worked on is a Princess Peach crown! As of now, I only have the crown, pendant, and gloves, but soon I hope to buy a pattern and fabric to make her dress. I also took pictures of how to make this crown. It was really easy!! So I would like to post a tutorial on that soon.

And I haven’t forgotten about the giveaway I promised! I finished the green and red Yoshi eggs, but still need to paint the blue one.

Looks like I was having a detailed discussion about Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I love this game!!!

Here is my dream address if you’d like to see my town! My flowers are out of control, but the rest is pretty cool 🙂

Pixie loves to play Animal Crossing, too!

And when I’m not on my Nintendo 3DS, I am probably playing EverQuest 2. I can’t believe SOE Live is in 3 weeks!!! I can’t wait to hang out with my guild members 🙂

This was a super fun cut and color I did a few weeks ago at my salon. This kid rocks!

This may have been one of my favorite outfits of the summer so far. It was super comfy and had just the right amount of flair. And you can see Pixie taking a love bite out of my phone, too!

Speaking of Pixie… here she is being cute in a sack!!

And finally.. here I am feeling happy by the pool. I never ever ever spend time outside.. which I am totally fine with.. but for some reason I decided to put my toes in the other day and now I am hooked! I sat outside again and actually got a little color on my legs. I take skin care seriously so I always wear a hat and sunscreen (and you should, too).. but it’s been fun being the super pale, tattooed girl amongst the uber tan beach bods at the pool… hahaha .. Maybe one day I will be brave and actually get in it. 🙂

Happy Summer everyone!

Happy Things #15

June makes me happy! So do all these things:

I found this beautiful shot of my Sailor Venus cosplay on Instagram taken by @victoriahavens! I remember sitting down to take a break and having a few people ask for my photo like that. The scenery at this hotel was really pretty 🙂

June 7 was National Donut Day .. So my dad surprised me with some Dunkin Donuts at work! Yum!

I posted this on my Instagram (@glitzygeekgirl) for the Tarina Tarantino contest.. You just had to show off some of your TT bling. I didn’t win, but it was fun putting some of my favorite sparkly pieces on.

It wouldn’t be a Happy Things post without the happiest kitty of all!

Oh Pixie you are so lazy!

This is a *before* picture showing what my hair looks like when I blow dry it without a brush. It’s a huge frizzy mess!

So this is a much happier *after* picture! Thank goodness for flat irons!

And one day I used my large curling iron. It melted part of my countertop, but did a really nice job on my hair :p

This was my outfit for the Man of Steel midnight showing.

I got to see it in 3D! The movie was really good! I can’t wait for the sequel. Henry Cavill is a perfect Superman!

Baseball is my favorite sport, and I love going to the local stadium to support our team!!

I am super happy to announce one of the cosplays I am working on – Legolas! After watching The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug trailer a million times, I just knew I had to create Legolas. I’d been wanting to for awhile and now I am finally doing it! I already got the leaf brooch and a bow in the mail, too! I will post some progress pictures once I get more done.

I wore this outfit a few days ago to work. It didn’t exactly match, but I’m kinda quirky like that. It’s my Bazinga! shirt, a black dress, and blue jeans … Quirky, huh!

Today I picked up my free piece of chocolate from Godiva. You get a free piece each month when you become a member! This flavor was Mint Chocolate Chip and it was AMAZING!

While at the mall, I found this cutie! Her name of Muffin! She has a clip on her so I can attach her to my backpack. I also spent a quarter in a toy machine hoping I’d get the pink die and I did! Woot!

My next happy thing makes me SO happy! It’s Animal Crossing: New Leaf! This is for the Nintendo 3DS. I got the XL version that has a larger screen. This game IS SO MUCH FUN!! Even Pixie loves it!

If you haven’t played this before, then be warned! It’s addicting! You get to be the mayor of your own town. It’s fun because there is ALWAYS something to do. You can decorate, talk to friends, go shopping, play mini games, fish, catch bugs.. and I am sure so much more that I haven’t got to yet! Today I even went by Best Buy and downloaded the free present available through their WiFi!

My friend code is 3840-6126-6273 if you would like to add me! Be sure to leave your friend code in the comments so I can add you back!

:+:+:+:+:+:

This post was longer than I intended, but so much has made me happy lately!

What has put a smile on your face?

Also, EEEEEE ROUGH RIDERS! We got to go to a game earlier this season. I'm hoping we can make it to a Rangers game before the summer is through.

And finally HOBBIT!! Definitely hitting it up in IMAX 3D at Midnight on opening day. I can't wait!

Happy Things #14

I have been so busy lately and so many things have made me happy! I had to delete a few because I had so many pics in this post!

This is my salon Hair by Anna Lee. I decided to get that cute black and white zig zag bench for my salon and move the bulky shelf to another wall. I love having more seating for my clients.

Speaking of hair.. I bleached mine again the other day and toned it with some purple conditioner. It is looking very platinum!

My kitty Pixie had to have surgery on her front paws. You can read about her injuries here. We went ahead with the surgery because she just wasn’t healing on her own. But now she will be a happy kitty!

I am addicted to the mystery bags of My Little Pony. You never know which one you’ll get so I buy a bag any time I see them. I was SO HAPPY to find Barber Groomsby this time!! He has a scissor and comb cutie mark and barber pole colored bow tie. I put him on my station at my salon! So perfect!

Kat Von D released this new palette called Lady Bird .. It’s a matte set and I am in loveeee with it.

Recently Groupon had comic book headphones on sale for only $8. I got the Green Lantern for my mom and the Flash for me. This was my first time buying anything from Groupon and they arrived very quickly!

Last night I saw Jimmy Buffet in concert! And on my way back to the car I found this coconut bra on the ground. No one was around to claim so I figured it was meant for me 😛 Now my mannequin is in Margaritaville.

There was an update on EverQuest 2 with some new content added. This is the boss Volot in the Siren’s Grotto. He is hilarious.. he’ll summon a million little frogs to attack you. I won, of course. 😉

I’ve been on a search for macarons for awhile and never found any in town. I finally got to try some in Houston once. But the other day at the mall I saw this little kiosk that had cake balls and french macarons! I just squealed!! The raspberry one was delicious!

And finally, here’s an update on my Fiona cosplay. I made the ears and finished the axe!! I decided to remake the shirt because the first one was really uncomfortable. I think I am just about done with it and hope to get some finished photos soon.

Anything make you squeal with happiness in your life lately?

I don't squeal, but I laughed with happiness earlier tonight when I scored 1,444 points on one word in Wordfeud (Scrabble for the phone). You can play on boards where the bonus tiles are randomly placed, and I found a nice run of tiles all next to each other. It was the first word of the game too!

I've been waiting for you to do another Happy Things post, so I could share this picture with you. This album comes up on my Pandora sometimes when I'm in a relaxing mood. The picture on the album cover always makes me smile. The turtle looks so content. http://www.liquidmindmusic.com/wallpaper/LM1_standard_1280x960.jpg

Also, I love your updates! You and your salon both look great! I hope that Pixie is doing well and has a speedy recovery. Boss Gorot looks cool! Frogs are the best.

Those headphones look pretty sweet. I'm looking for some inexpensive over-the-ear ones since my old ones broke a little while ago.

I don't know if I would say squeal, more like full-blown shout(and sorry I forgot to tell you), but I got my call from American Ninja Warrior! Only that it's in 2 weeks, will have to drive to Denver, and I'll miss DCC, guess I gotta follow my heart. Your axe is awesome though! Sorry I'm gonna miss your Fiona costume

Happy Things #13

Hap·pi·ness – state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy

Here are the latest things that made me happy 🙂

I found Etsy seller Silver Owl Creations on Pinterest and really fell in love with her designs! I was looking for a necklace to wear with my Renaissance costume and this one was so beautiful I just had to order it!

For Valentine’s Day, my Mom gave me this LoTR Lego set. I had a lot of fun putting it together with her. And I was glad I had the help because these things aren’t easy! Lots of pieces and this was a small set!!

I was at Barnes and Noble the other day looking for Easter cards when I spotted a whole section of LoTR cards! I wanted to buy the Legolas, Arwen, and Aragorn for myself but I resisted ..hehe

I got this dress at Target the other day for $25. I went back and bought it in other colors, too, because it fit so well! I can’t wait until it’s warmer so I can wear more sundresses.

A silly thing about me is that I love finding rainbows. This one was reflected off a mosaic candle holder on my shelf. I just squealed when I spotted it!

Photographer Eli Luna sent me another Ramona Flowers shot from our photoshoot. I really like this one! Can’t wait to go through the whole set soon.

I found this amazing shot while clicking around on Flickr for Arwen cosplays. This was taken by Lynn (DigiNik13) when I was at Sci Fi Expo. She has some great pictures on her Flickr so definitely check her out!

And a Happy Things post wouldn’t be complete without a picture of Pixie. Here I was getting ready to work on my Fiona costume when Pixie decided the fabric made a better bed for her.

Pixie had another visit to the vet for her check up and the news is good! Her foot healed up nicely and as long as she doesn’t chew another hole in it she should be fine. She started sitting in my laundry hamper recently, but I needed to take it back to my salon so I replaced it with this box.. She doesn’t seem to mind! Happy kitty 🙂
