The Iowa Adventure

Hey guys! Wow! It's already been almost a week since my first post! I'm just so exhausted when we get back to our hotel room every night to even think about writing a whole blog post! Joe and I are in Burlington, Iowa at the moment working on a job for my dad's company, North American Survey Corporation (or NASCORP for short). We basically have 155 miles that we are supposed to walk. Here is a video of what we do:

My dad chose this job specifically for us because it was Joe's first time and it was supposed to be an easy one. Well, we get out on the right of way (The path we are supposed to walk) and it looks like this:


So we are either pushing our way through very tall very thorny bushes, or we are navigating our way through very tall very sharp corn (which was only supposed to be ankle tall by now) :(  In two weeks we have made it  about 30 miles. So after walking through that all day Joey looks like this :
Isn't he adorable? But today is our last day here so "sadly" we will be heading home tomorrow. 
Well, I'm signing off, but before I go, I have to share my favorite picture:
The giant wall is a prison wall. This is a working prison with guards and everything! I guess the yard in front of it seemed like the perfect place for a mini golf course... ? HAHA, well i found it funny :) Good night!

    Put that poor man to bed. He looks pitiful. And a little like a shower is in order.

My Beauty Routine

Hello Loves! I've had some questions about my beauty routine and I decided that although I don't have any secret magic make you beautiful potion, I can share what I do have :) I have recently decided that I really really want to be healthy, inside and out. So I've started (trying) to eat healthy(er) and exercising. But I think that should also include beauty products that don't have a lot of preservatives and chemicals. Think about it, you use this stuff EVERY DAY! All of those bad things like parabens and alcohol sink into your skin and scalp and do damage slowly but surely. So I decided to go natural. Now, I know what you're thinking, that going all natural is totally unreasonable and EXPENSIVE but I have searched high and low and I think I have found some very nice and reasonably priced (rhyming is fun) products that I have been using and I can confidently stand by.  Let's start with the hair shall we?   Now, I am no stranger to hair colori...

Pre-Movie Blogpost

Hello friends :) It is Wednesday and tomorrow my husband takes his citizenship test as he is from England originally. He is a bit ridiculous in that he is only now picking up the 100 question study guide for the test. He will probably still get a 100 on the test simply because he is a genius. So frustrating for us regular folks who actually have to work hard just to seem smart.  I spent my day just hanging around the house cleaning things and working on my new online shop  Here is a link to the etsy and facebook page:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/AgainstTheWindDesign http://www.facebook.com/pages/Against-The-Wind/223030597739114 It seems so official! I have been planning on opening a shop of my own for a while now and it's actually about to happen! I am so excited! I will be selling all handmade jewelry to start out with and I will branch out eventually to hair accessories, scarfs, and at some point I'll start my own line of clothing :) We will see how it goes....

The Waitressing Side of Life

Hello good readers! I have missed you all dearly :) Today I want to talk about something that I feel should be common knowledge but for some reason people don't seem to know: Restaurant Etiquette - With the main focus on how to treat your server As someone who has been a server for all of my young adult life I have declared myself an expert in the matter. Before we get started, let's take a sneak peek into the life of a server. Servers do not get to eat at the normal meal times. Servers make $2.13 an hour in the state of Texas. It varies from state to state but the general idea is that they are employed by the people they are waiting on. Servers do not get free food whenever they want. Servers have to smile constantly for hours at a time. - Regardless of how rude people are. Those are just a few of the things that servers have to deal with on a regular basis.  Now don't get me wrong, I love my job. The people I work with are nice, the food is delicious, and there i...
