Birthday, birthday.

Hello everyone, I just woke up and it's already so late in the day. I have quite a bit to do regarding school work so after I wake up all of the way I will be taking care of that. This post doesn't have much of a point to it besides informing you that yesterday was my 17th birthday! I don't suddenly feel like a different person, though I'm hoping I will notice a difference in my ability to prioritize, haha. I won't be celebrating my birthday until the 11th, since both of my parents work every other day. 

I did, however, get to catch up on Attack On Titan (or Shingeki No Kyojin, if you're like me and prefer the more complicated title) with my boyfriend. He was sleepy and so he had a little bout of grouchiness but we both got over it soon enough. I just had to call him a grouchy butt a few times! :)

We were on Skype for almost two hours too, and I was overjoyed to see his face again. He's been so busy with his high school/college work (dual credits! My overachiever!) that we haven't had much one on one time with each other. I just have to remind myself that breaks aren't too far off and so we'll be able to spend time together in person, which will be wonderful!

I should be coming out with another post later in the day, most likely fashion related, so look out for that. I'll be posting links to the post on my twitter and tumblr

Have an awesome day/night everyone!
Muah!

Tips and Tricks for Wavy Hair!

Hello everyone! I hope your day has gone well so far, mine has been a bit stressful so I am happy that I have found the time to sit down and relax. I have been brainstorming ideas for some of my future posts and I am really excited to type up one of them for you now. Tips and tricks for wavy hair! 

I have wavy hair and sometimes I feel as if I would give anything to trade in my locks for naturally straight hair. However, over my life my mother and various articles around the web have given me some insight into properly taking care of my waves. Read on to learn the little tricks I use to keep my waves shiny, healthy, and manageable!

Read on for the tips!

Hello everyone and welcome!

I am relatively new to the blogger world but I am extremely excited to learn and grow as a blogger alongside those of you who care to join me! I have seen many people do the "Beauty Blogger Tag," including Citra who also runs a beauty blog. Reading tags that other people have done is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine and if you are like me in that way go here to browse through her answers! I figured it would be a nice way for you to get to know me on a more personal level without me typing wildly about unimportant minuscule details of my life. Let's get started! ♥

1. Is your hair natural curly or straight?
My hair is naturally wavy, though my bottom layers tend to be straighter than the rest of my hair. I've been looking for ways to fix this because it can be frustrating.
2. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
I have died my hair twice in my life. Red and black. When I say red, I mean red. Bright fire-hydrant red. It did bring out the green in my eyes but it just wasn't me. Black was nice, but I am happy with my brunette locks at the moment. Especially since dying them black made them darker!
3. Do you wear the same style everyday, or do you change it?
I. Love. Dresses. I really do. I could wear a dress every day of my life and be ecstatic! However, I also love a nice dress shirt paired with black straight legs. Really I could wear my hair up with a bow and have on a floral dress one day and rock my black jeans and a band tee the next. 
4. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
I have a lot of fun doing my nails on my own, it gives me some time to pamper myself and relax. I have been to a salon for a pedi once in my life and it just doesn't appeal to me as much as sprawling out and watching a cute movie while doing my nails.
5. How often do you change your nail polish?
Sometimes I get into a groove with a certain color and will wear it for weeks until I start to feel bored and then I will change it. I try to coordinate my nails to my outfits though, unless I am wearing a mainly black ensemble. Then I will go for a statement color!
6. Do you polish your toes in the winter or just in the summer?
Typically just the summer.
7. How long does it take for you to put on your makeup?
I am not as big on makeup as I am fashion, hair and nails but when I do decide to do my makeup I like to give myself some time to make it look nice. 30-45 mins at the most, closer to 45 if I have someone to impress (my handsome man!).
8. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
I do my face first. It just seems natural to me.
9. Do you collect makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
In a perfect world I would only buy what I need when I need it, but hey, sometimes you'll see something so great in a store that you just can't help yourself.
10. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
I have never actually worn false eyelashes though I am dying to try some. I doubt I would wear them often though.
11. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?
 Not even close. I go bare-faced most of the time but if I am going somewhere nice, like a restaurant, I will apply makeup. I see makeup as more of a fun pastime and not something that I use in my day-to-day life.
12. Do you wear makeup when your home alone, or with family?
I'll play around with makeup sometimes but it's rare. If I am somewhere nice with my family, then yes.
13. Will you leave the house without makeup?
Absolutely! I suppose this is just because I went through a stage in my life when makeup was an absolute necessity for me. I didn't even know how to use makeup properly but I felt I had to wear it or else everyone would be judging me. I guess, over time, I grew out of this harmful way of thinking. I let loose and I find that I am happier not having to worry about whether or not I will have time to literally put on my face before I leave the house to go grocery shopping.
14. How many high-end products do you have?
Maybe when I start to bring in the dollar signs? (I hope so!) ^^;
15. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
In a perfect world. Sometimes I'm way too tired to worry about planning an outfit but I do know I always feel better in the mornings if I did so that past night.
16. How often do you change your handbag?
When it doesn't match my current outfit. I have this gorgeous Rosetti bag that is similar to a backpack and I love it! It's a tan and brown bag with a pattern I do not know the name of and I wish I had more outfits to go with it because I would use it every day if I could.
17. What time do you wake up and go to sleep?
Well, it's 12:30 at night right now and thankfully I will be able to wake up around 8 tomorrow but I usually have to wake up at 6:45. I have really been trying to fix my schedule but it's hard when you are in a family of night owls.
18. How often or when do you workout?
I try to do a little each day because since school has started up I haven't had as much time as I did in the summer to stick to a routine. 
19. Left handed or right handed?
Left handed!
20. How tall are you?
5'1. I'm a short little thing.
21. Do you speak any foreign language?
Well, I took one year of Latin and loved it. However I am now in Spanish and I am loving it. I am also learning German through duolingo (which works wonderfully!) aaand my boyfriend and I have decided we want to learn Japanese together. I am just such a big fan of other cultures and I find languages to be beautiful. I want to learn them all! :)
22. How many pets do you have?
Three! One black cat, one teddy bear hamster, and one sold black German Shepard/wolf hybrid. She's a sweetheart.
23. How often are you on blogger?
It depends on how much time I have :)
24. Do you read comments posted on blogs?
I plan to read comments posted on mine. If you are talking about others, sometimes.
25. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes! :)
26. How did you come up with your Blog name?
Ah, well. I have a tumblr that inspired the Kitt and Kat part. Fashion because I love fashion and I plan to blog about fashion. I put them together and it sounded nice, so I kept it!
27. What kind of camera do you use for your photographs?
Currently none, because my dog chewed the USB ;(
28. How often do you clean your house?
My room.. every couple of days. My house? I try to help out a few times a week.
29. What’s your favorite color?
Oh no.. well. I love pink and I love black. I also love red, especially as a lip and nail color.
30. Do you swear?
Yes, but not in public.
31. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
Grab something healthy to eat and look over my World History notes. I will hopefully be sound asleep in the next hour or so!

Thank you all for reading and feel free to do this tag yourself!
Have a good night (or day) everyone!
Muah!
