The Great Debate: Churros

Image via
The other day TK was trying to convince me I need a trip to Costco in my life. I know some of you might think this is crazy talk but I honestly could never go to Costco again and I would die happy. I guess large packages of toilet paper and 12 pound jars of beans just aren't my thing. Tim proceeded to try and bribe me with the idea of a churro and it started quite the debate between us... Where can you find the best Churro?

TK's Pick: Redondo Beach Pier
Tim claims you can find the best churro at a tiny hole in the wall place on the old pier. He likes it because its simple but delicious with "no frills"

BK's Pick: Disneyland...of course!
Granted your in the happiest place on earth and that might make your taste buds tingle just a bit more, Disneyland hands down has the best churro. Always warm, soft with just enough crisp and sprinkled with a perfect amount of sugar.

Maybe we take churros a bit too serious but its not like your average mall pretzel. Its a treat that is a little hard to come by. Sooo where have you had an awesome churro? Let's go grab one together.

P.S. I know I blog on average once a month now and I am not ashamed this month I chose to blog about churros

Also, to all you single ladies... these are the kind of things married people talk about. Get excited.

Doin Work

Even though my days at school are long and tiring, on my days off it is still all I want to do. So I gave a couple cuts this weekend to some very special clients. You are all familiar with this handsome face. Boy just had too much hair on his head for this summer heat so we decided to take it pretty short.

Next up is my beautiful little Grandma. I would cut her hair everyday just to hear her say "Oh Nanita, you made me look beautiful!"


Im really having so much fun learning this skill and I am thankful my family lets me "experiment" on them. Even if sometimes they end up looking like this...

Moving on up...

I recently had the opportunity to attend a private MAC class with Senior Artist Tiffany Johnston. I learned a lot about makeup, trends and techniques that day but I took away something from that class I am not sure any of the other attendees might have caught. Tiffany was speaking about what it is like to work backstage at fashion week and shared the following... (and Tiffany, if you somehow come across this I apologize if I am not quoting you word for word!)
 "When I first started in this business, it was very selective of who was able to go backstage. Nowadays, you can have a blogger from Austin standing next to the editor of Vogue! Bloggers are important. Vogue is only going to reach vogue readers, but bloggers reach all kinds of people. They are taking information right back to the consumer, the most important part."
 As an aspiring hairstylist and a blogger I found that extremely encouraging and I thought some of you might too, especially you darling little fashion bloggers. Hope it helps you feel important in this big ol blogging world!
 And if you ever get the chance to attend an event with Tiffany, jump on it! She is a great speaker, smart, beautiful and super talented. I am so grateful I am attending a school that makes these sort of opportunities available for me!

In case you were wondering...

I am sure no one is waiting with baited breathe for my blog to pick back up again, but in case you were wondering what I have been up to, here is where I have been spending all my time and who I have been spending it with... I am exhausted, I miss quality time with my husband and my feet hurt at the end of every day, but just a few months in and I am enjoying this experience more than anything I have ever done. Every day is a reassurance that I made the right decision and that feels really good. Plus, do you see those people up there? They are amazing and I get to hang out with them all day! So now I am sure you are intrigued. Check this out and come see me!

All the bloggers in the room, put your hands in the air!

I am not sure what kind of blogger I have been, but I just bought my ticket to this: So who else is going? Buy tickets HERE!

Just a thought...

I feel insanely blessed this is the first face I see in the morning and the last one I see at night.

Today is a Good Friday...

The weather has started to heat up which means this is about the time my disdain for Arizona starts to surface and I begin to dread the upcoming scorching months of summer. It's also about the time I start to miss living in California and those lovely 75 degree days... Today the office was closed in observance of Good Friday, which left me with a much needed day off with absolutely no plans to worry about. I slept in, watched a little TV and then met my man for a lunch date. The weather today just happened to be perfect. We came home, put on some music, opened the back door and windows and actually felt a breeze. When I closed my eyes, it almost felt like I was back in California. Perfect weather and perfect thoughts to take a little nap too. So today was a good Friday, and I am hoping its just the start to a great weekend. Happy Easter Everyone!
