    I can't wait for the Mario Kart DLC to be available!! I pre-ordered it and it's just taunting me now. But at least the first bundle will be available soon!

    I am so sad that Mario Kart 8 is only on the Wii U. I still can't justify buying the system just for that game but ISABELLE!!

Pinterest Favs #3

Here are a few things I have pinned and liked on my Pinterest lately!
Black Milk Clothing has a TON of awesome leggings and dresses that I would love to spend my life savings on. These mermaid leggings have been on my wish list for a long time. The purple ones are sold out, but you can still buy the green ones in select sizes.
This Beyonce “Single Ladies” Nintendo crossover is too cute! The artist is Princesa Daisy.
Pinterest usually has good links to the original source, but when people pin from Tumblr you lose the credit sometimes. I try not to post things that don’t have a source, but this image was too cool not to share. It reminds me of Nerd Burger! 🙂
I loved this photo of Twig the Fairy! The local Renaissance festival is in a few weeks, and I have felt inspired to make a fairy outfit this year. I will hopefully have some awesome wings to share with you guys soon. 🙂
OMGGGG when I saw this I nearly fell out of my chair! Pekoe is a cub villager in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and is just about the cutest thing ever. I don’t have Pekoe in my town, but she’s welcome to move in anytime 😉 This lovely art is by Nevirra.
This gave me a good chuckle! Because it’s totally true! I’ve yelled at my computer screen a few times while gaming. Gamer girls can be feisty. This art is by Emikova.

    You've only yelled at your screen a few times? I have the mouth of a drunken sailor on leave any day but it's even worse if I'm gaming. Lol. Probably why I stay away from co-op games. My teammates would be appalled. XD My Pinterest un is BittenUsagi. 🙂

Pinterest Favs #2

Pinterest and I have become very close pals over the last year. I pin quite frequently and find it so useful for organizing cosplay ideas, recipes to try, cool fashion finds, and cute artwork. There’s a Pinterest Favs post here that I did awhile back. So here’s #2 in this series!
How cute is this Myth Congeniality Skirt from Mod Cloth? There’s a matching top you can get, too!
I am in love with these My Little Pony leggings from We Love fine. These come in bigger sizes, too, which I think is great.
I googled the tag on this photo since Pinterest didn’t take me to a source and @Pants is Josh Mecouch who is a cartoonist for Mad magazine! He has other cool art on his website.
Beauty blog Phyrra had tons of other fantastic polishes posted, but I loved the colors in this one!
Pinterest is a great place to find Animal Crossing QR codes. I found this one by Raspberry-Jam-Heaven of Elsa from Frozen. There’s also a code for Anna’s dress on her deviantArt!
To continue with the Frozen theme, I totally said “awww” when I saw this picture of Olaf. The source is Instagram user @disney_life_for_me. I started following them right away!
:+:+:+:+:
If you have a Pinterest please share your board in the comments so I can check them out and follow them! 🙂

Pinterest Enthusiast

As most females are these days, I am quite the Pinterest enthusiast. I have 26 boards of different themes that I enjoy “pinning” inspirational or creative photos to. Most of the time I am pinning hair and fashion ideas. But it’s a great place to organize your favorite pics of any category. Here are some of my recent favorites!

Pinterest would be a great tool for a dating website. It shows places I want to visit, my favorite foods, my style,  favorite music and things I love to geek out to! It’s all about me! If you don’t agree with my pins then we probably aren’t a good match 😛 

It’s also great because it will usually take you to the source of each photo. So if you see a hair tutorial you like you can click the pic and it’ll link you to it’s original website. All the above photos can be found on my Pinterest and most have the source attached. Do you have a Pinterest account? Recommend any I should follow?

OMGLITZY: Pinterest Bubble Pizza

Monday, August 18, 2014

Pinterest Bubble Pizza

There is a pin on Pinterest of a recipe called “Bubble Pizza” that seems to always show up on my feed. (Probably because I follow so many pizza boards, lol) It looks like the original recipe came from YummyFoodDrink.com. I have always wanted to try making it since it looks super easy. So the other day I finally bought the ingredients to give it a try!
You’ll need:
Canned biscuits (I bought the jumbo size)
Pizza sauce
Pepperoni
Shredder cheese
A baking dish
and Pam
Begin by pre-heating your oven to 400° and lightly greasing your dish with Pam.
Spread the biscuits onto the bottom of the dish.

Then cover them with pizza sauce.

I added a ton of pepperonis, but you could use any type of meat or vegetable.

Finally, cover it with a hefty layer of cheese.

Bake your dish for 20 minutes or until the top is a nice golden color.

Since I flattened my biscuits my dish didn’t exactly look like “Bubble” pizza, but it still tasted amazing! It was like a cheesy pizza casserole. My family absolutely loved it. We sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top and plan to make garlic toast for next time!
The total for the ingredients only came around $14. It also reheated well for a second helping for us the next day!
I will definitely be making this again and trying new meats and vegetables with it. Let me know if you make this! 🙂

OMGLITZY: Pinkie Pie Hair!

Monday, September 10, 2012

Pinkie Pie Hair!

Recently had a funny time coloring my hair.. I bleached out the purple .. no big deal… mixed up some fuchsia and red together and applied it to my scalp first about 2 inches down the hair .. well then I ran out of color. No big deal – I’ll mix some more. Couldn’t find my other bottle of fuchsia ANYWHERE! I’m searching and looking and digging through the pantry and purses (lol) .. no luck. So I call my mom in a panic because only half my hair is done and God bless her she went to Hot Topic 30 mins before closing and got me 4 extra bottles.. Won’t be running out next time! What a scary mistake for a hair stylist to make!! 😛

Super sad to see this pic because I recently broke my heart shaped glasses in half 🙁

OMGLITZY: Pink Shelves & Hobby Lobby Brackets

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

Pink Shelves & Hobby Lobby Brackets

As you saw in my previous post about my new salon, I have some bright pink shelves up on the wall!
Here’s a quick little tutorial on how I made them. 🙂
This was a fun and sorta easy project if you have time to make shelves from scratch! I have seen this project on Pinterest and also saw my friend make some. I say “sorta easy” because it was a little hard to screw the brackets into the wall and make sure everything was level. But other than that it was a breeze!
I got these brackets at Hobby Lobby for only $6.99. 
Sometimes you can catch them 50%, too!
I also got some screws from Lowe’s. I got two different sizes.. Smaller ones for going into the board and longer ones to go into the wall.
We later had to use an anchor in the wall to make sure they were secure.
I used a poplar board from Lowe’s.. You can get different lengths.
And sand it first before you paint it.

I bought paint from Hobby Lobby appropriately named “Party Pink” for $5.99.
Use a satin varnish for a beautiful shine.

A finished board! Be sure to do both sides since you will see the underneath.
I was so nervous Pixie was going to jump on the boards. Then we’d have little pink paw prints everywhere. Wait.. that would have been kinda cute! 😀

After trying it both ways, it was easier to screw the brackets into the board first and then the wall.

Tada! What do you think? I sure love my new shelves! I am thinking about making a long one to go over my bed since I can’t find a good headboard. Have you ever made something totally from scratch?

    Looks great! I would have never guessed you made these yourself. I love how your salon looks! I hope that you're staying busy. If I can think of anyone in your area, I'll definitely refer them to you. You do a great job cutting (and styling/washing/coloring/etc) hair!

OMGLITZY: Pink and Red Wins!

Saturday, November 17, 2012

Pink and Red Wins!

Well somehow I managed to lose a whole post finally!! It was bound to happen sooner or later. This isn’t a major important one, but still sucks to lose everything you typed up. So here we go again!
I colored my hair! Looks like the votes went with Pink and Red.. which just so happened to be my favorite ;p .. I probably was going to do this regardless but it was fun seeing what ya’ll picked. Blue and all blonde had some votes and WHO voted for orange?! I said no orange! LOL .. But the Leeloo photo almost had me convinced, too 😉
So the process for this was a little lengthy .. I had been using demi-permanent for the black color so it was kinda easy to bleach out.. I use Wella’s Blondor bleach with 40 volume.. I don’t recommend using 40 unless you know what you’re doing as it’s pretty strong. Whoever voted for orange kinda wins cause that’s what it turned after I bleached it 😛
Yikes!
So then I applied “Candy Pink” by RAW to the top and “Fire Red” to the bottom. My hair smelled like bubble gum and cherries for awhile.

Here’s the finished look! I’ll probably take a few more pics tomorrow.. I was busy at work today. But I got a lot of compliments on it… It almost glows it’s so bright!!
Xoxo

    I'm boring and voted for all black! (I thought the dark in the Ren Fest photos was pretty awesome actually.) But I love the way the pink and red turned out! It looks so good! If I was ever going to dye my hair pink and red, I'd definitely go to you to get it done.

OMGLITZY: Pink and Purple Hair!

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

Pink and Purple Hair!

Last week I got to do hair for Jessica (the coworker with the fabulous engagement ring shown here)
She already had blonde high-lights all over. So there was no need to bleach her hair to get the pink to show. We used RAW Fuchsia Fatale on top, RAW Deep Purple in her bangs, and Matrix 1N underneath in the back.

She looks so good! I just can’t believe she did this before her wedding. It’s not until November so she said her reason for doing it is because she wanted to have darker brown hair for the wedding anyway. So might as well go bright while it was light enough to!

This boy is so awesome. He is a star soccer player and has had a bleached out mohawk for the last year. For this summer he was able to color it, too. We used Special Effects Virgin Rose and RAW Deep Purple mixed with some conditioner to lighten it a little. (As seen on Jessica, the purple comes out really dark)

OMGLITZY: My own salon!

Saturday, August 11, 2012

My own salon!

So I recently began working for myself as a hairstylist. We’ve only been open for a week and the salon already looks great. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s starting to come together and feel like home!
www.hairbyannalee.com
Move in day!
Trenette’s, Tiffany’s, and my station

 A few days ago, my friend Kevin drove all the way from Austin to get his haircut! I am so glad he was able to visit the new salon. His hair looked awesome!

After his haircut, we adventured around downtown Dallas and tried a crepe for the first time. It was also my first time to try bubble tea. A strange drink but tasty!

I’ve definitely enjoyed the start of this new chapter in my career, and I am so thankful to have supportive friends and family!

    This is such an exciting (ad)venture for you, and I wish you all the luck in the world. I hope that this is a terrific success. You've certainly put a lot of work and effort into it, and it shows. The salon is looking really great!

    I know it can be a slow process to build up a steady stream of clients, but it sounds like you're off to a good start. I will definitely refer anyone that I can.

    Also, bubble tea is super awesome! Glad you got to try some. I used to get some every time I went to get my hair cut, but they closed the place at that mall down. Luckily, there's an even better place not too far from home.
