wine-o. dine-o. by-myselfo.

My mom tends to spoil me... even living on my own, with a job, and gone for more then 5 years now? whoa. She wanted to buy me a grad present but I didnt know what I wanted. I got thinkin...

I have alwayyyyys wanted to go on a trip alone. yes..ALONE! hotel to myself, dinner at a restaurant by myself, shop by myself. Is it weird i like being alone that much? CAUSE I LOVE IT!

My mom pulled through once again and got me a flight and hotel in Edmonton for me to shop shop shop and lounge lounge lounge in my hotel room. I am more excited then Christmas eve. This is gonna be one hell of a party. Me, my red wine, ugly pjs, and receipts.

Thanks mom for making my loser dream come true:) Happy Hair School grad!

Congrats to me

I am beyond pleased to announce that I got hired at MYST Salon (the only salon i have ever wanted to work at since my hair journey started)! I am so eager to get going in my new career that I can barely find words.

I have dreamed of being a haistylist and makeup artist for as long as i could remember. Im not quite sure where I got the talent in me from... my mom can just barely cover braiding, and well my dad... hasn't had the stuff since he was about ten sooo...

I got lucky somewhere! If it wasn't for my boyfriends job..i would have never moved to Regina, and if i never moved to Regina I would have never went to hairschool, and if i didnt go to hairschool... well i would still be wondering "What if..."

You see... I graduated from post secondary school before.. BUT it didnt feel quite like this. I am now doing what "I" want to do... not necassarly the right thing, the safe thing, or the smart thing. OR maybe it is. BUT, its my thing.

I am there, i did it, i finished it, and now im about to begin it. Watch out beauty world... im just getting started.

Last week I started my in salon at MYST. Funny, because ever since I moved to Regina I walked by this salon thinking it was soo rad. Its downtown, Aveda(Most amazing product..which gave me a topic for my next post), in an old antique house... list goes on. Now... with only three weeks left till I am a professional stylist I am grateful to be doing my work term there. To work under them would be amazing. You never know what the future brings...

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT!

I have to publicly say sorry for something...

I have been ranting and raving about my very good pal Satima and her eyebrow threading for over a year and a half now. On my blog, to my friends at school, to new people I meet... everyone! Because she really is that good.

Tonight I was at Satimas getting my brows done which were much needed. I asked if she would like me to make her some business cards so I filled out a piece of paper where she just had to fill in the blanks as to what she wanted on them.

Satima
Phone-
Address-

She politely said "Shannon.....Can I show you something?" in her beautiful indian accent. I replied "yes" of course. Then she carries on to say in a soft voice "My name is with an "F", its FATIMA" "WHATTTTT?!!!!!!!" you mean to tell me I have been sending people here calling you Satima, writing you cards titled Satima and family, carrying on the last year and a half calling you Satima and you never said a thing!?" "Well... no I didn't want to tell you cause your so nice" ahhh. ohhhh my goddddddd im mortified. So mortified that I could name a million things i would have rather went through then this. Im supposed to be her friend... I AM her friend. oh god.

I now onmy blog for everyone to see... have to say sorry, and that i cannot stop laughing at the fact this would ONLY happen to me...Shannon Hryhor, the most unlucky girl around. hahaha.

Well.. FATIMA... this is going to be a tough one going back in time. But you truly are an angel... Whether your names with an F or an S. Your beautiful and talented. And im sorry for getting your name wrong. Forgive me.
