All About Our Tattoos and Piercings!

We absolutely love watching YouTube videos about why people chose the tattoos and piercings they did! So we thought it would be fun to share ours with you! So we are just gonna jump in and start off with my (Katie) piercings!

The first piercings I ever got were the first holes in my ears. I got those when I was about six. Then I got my second holes pierced when I was sixteen. Finally, I got my cartilage piercing when I was 19 and on spring break in Virginia.

I also have my naval pierced and I got that done when I was sixteen as well. I had been wanting it for a while so I asked for it for my birthday. I love my anchor belly button ring and I wear it all the time. This piercing is only really visible in the summer but I still like having it :)

Jessica has multiple piercings. Like most other woman she has her ears pierced. But she also has her tongue and her nose pierced. That is what you see pictured to the left. She also has her belly button and her chest pierced. But obviously we are not going to show you a picture of that!!

To hear us rate these piercings on a pain scale from 1-10 and to hear more of the back story you can go check out our Tattoos and Piercings video here ------->

Next lets talk about our tattoos! Now I only have while Jessica has three so I will share mine first.
I love the scripture Hebrew 6:19 Love anchors the soul. I always said if I ever got a tattoo that is what I would get. I was totally against tattoos and thought they were the worst idea. But for some reason I just felt like doing something for me and out of the ordinary. Plus I was on spring break and my cousin and friend both got them. This is the symbol that represents the scripture. I was going to get the words as well but I wanted to avoid some of the pain and I figured I could always add that later.

The picture on the left is immediately after I got my tattoo. Sorry if you don't like blood! I don't either. The picture on the right is the day after I got my tattoo. I actually ended up getting this tattoo redone in Michigan. To hear about that horrible experience head over to our YouTube channel.....

So like I said, Jessica has three tattoos. She got them all within months of each other.

The first is on her ribs. She got this when she was in Florida on spring break.

Spring Break will getcha ;)

This one reads "Love is above all else the gift of oneself." She got this during a hard time in her life and it holds a significant meaning to her. The second one she has is on her shoulder. It reads "She will be loved." For those of you that sang that in your head, yes it is a Maroon 5 song. She does love Adam Levine but that isn't why she got this one. She just likes it and looking at it makes her happy! :) The last one is her favorite and the most meaningful one. She got this a few weeks after our Grandpa passed away on father's day this year. If you have been following our blog then you might recognize this from our Good Grief: Mourning a Love One blog....

Our Grandpa loved birds and birdwatching and the flowers she got for a decoration and she just loves flowers.

I Witnessed a Proposal! And I got a Video!

This is Scott and Brittney. I met them last night when I went to the Filmore in Detroit, Michigan to see my favorite band
City and Colour perform. I have witnessed four proposals in my life and they have all been during Dallas Green's "The Girl." This is one of their sweetest songs so it is no wonder that so many decide to pop the question while it is being played live. This proposal actually has an interesting back story though. Before the first band "The Sleepy Suns" came out on stage Brittney had been frantically looking all around the floor and emptying her pockets to find her boyfriend Scott's credit card which she had misplaced. Everyone around us began to help look for the card and offer suggestions on what she should do. Finally, a group of us convinced Scott to cancel his credit card in case someone had found it. When he left the main floor to go call the credit card company I heard Brittney say to her friend "I lost his card and I think he is going to propose! I felt a ring box in his pocket when I was looking for his card!" Immediately, me and my friends got really excited because we had just been talking about the many proposals that go on during Dallas Green's shows. Now one was going to happen RIGHT in front of us. Soon after, Scott returned to say that he couldn't cancel the card because he didn't have cell service in the theater. Then I heard him disappointingly tell one of Brittney's friends "She knows. The ring box was in my pocket and she felt my pocket when she was looking for the card!" Finally, City and Colour began to play their set. Between every song I kept anticipating the start of "The Girl". Scott was biting his nails throughout the entire concert, but I think I was more nervous than he was! I wanted to get a video of it so they could have it as a memory of such an important night. I wanted to be ready with my camera in hand. Dallas left the stage and after fans screaming "Encore. Encore!" he came back to perform three more songs. The first being "The Girl." I watched as Scott got down on one knee and asked Brittney to be his wife. She bawled her eyes out and so did several of the people surrounding them. Dallas green even asked them for their names and stopped the concert to congratulate them. After the song was over and everything settled down, I asked the couple if they would like me to send them the video I took of the proposal. They were so excited and appreciative of the gesture. I sent them the video and watched how happy they were for the rest of the concert. Oh and one more thing! Her ring was huge! So beautiful :) I felt so lucky to share such an awesome experience with complete and total strangers! (haha) If you would like to see this proposal it is up on our YouTube channel.

"The Girl"

I wish I could do better by you,
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

This is me and my boyfriend at the concert! :)

The Friend Zone!

Childhood Friends

These are the friends we grow up with. These are the people that saw us in those ever so awkward years between 5^th and 9^th grade and still stick with us. Keeping in touch with these friends can be tricky when everyone heads their separate ways for college or university. But the great thing is we have known these people since (nearly) infancy so they hold a special place in our hearts. This means they are considered family in the way that even though we may not see them as often as you would like when we do it is like nothing has changed and you can pick up right where you left off. Speaking of family, sisters and brothers make great friends as well. You know everything there is to know about each other and you share some DNA. Need a kidney? Chances are you can probably get it from them….

School Friends

Well, obviously these are the friends we meet at school. In grade school, most of the friends we make are our age or at least around it. But with more and more middle-aged women and men going back to school it is much more likely that you could be sitting in a classroom with people closer to your parent’s age than yours. Don’t be intimated or just right them off because they are older or younger than you. Some of the greatest people I have met in college are twice my age. These women are funny, smart, and wiser than I could ever be. They have had hardships in their lives that caused them to have to return to school. Like divorce, loss of their spouse or unemployment due to the declining job market in Michigan. So my point is make friends with these people! They are the ones more likely to help you and give you advice. They are also less likely to try to copy your homework are much more likely to share theirs with you(:

Work Friends

Working a 9 to 5 is probably the last thing anyone wants to have on the top of their to-do list. I work 6 to 5 so it would probably be on mine. I like my sleep. Anyways, making friends at work is crucial if you want to maintain your sanity will schlepping popcorn to unfriendly customers. My first real job was at a local movie theater. It was a relatively easy job, just exhausting. Occasionally, there would be those customers that made my skin crawl. This one in particular asked me if I was brain-dead because I asked him to repeat one item of his fourteen ordered because he shot them off a mile a minute and it was hard to keep up. I had worked a double that day and only had a few hours left. I started crying, crying! If I could go back to that moment I would have told him to fuck off and choke on his $10 popcorn. Well, realistically I wouldn’t have because I would have lost my job. But thank God for the people I worked with that day that could see the sadness on my face and did everything they could to cheer me up. Sometimes you even spend important days with these people. I once spent Christmas at the theater, and it was actually fun even being one of the busiest days of the year. Unfortunately, not everyone you work with is going to like you and I’m sure you will come across those you don’t see eye to eye. Just remember you don’t have to hang out with them outside of work and keep things professional. Don’t get into fights with coworkers, especially when you enter your career job not just your part-time job at White-Castle. P.S. Don’t have office romances either, but that is a whole other topic…

Best Friends

These are the friends with the amazing super power to make you forgive them for anything and everything. I know no matter what my best friend does to upset me or piss me off (which she doesn’t often) we will still always be friends. Friends like this can be made anywhere and are a combination of all the ones previously mentioned. Those friendships grow into something special enough to where you consider this person your “BEST” friend. A lot of people just throw around the title to any drunken girl they Instagram a picture with. I am guilty of considering a lot of girls my “best friends” in the past. Lately, I have come to realize someone who only talks to you when it is convenient for them is not worthy of that label. My best friends are three girls I have known my entire life. Who I know will always be there for me whenever I need them, no matter what time of night. These girls are my sisters. Then of course I have three friends who are THE BEST that I met in middle school and they have stuck with me through the years (: Finally, my boyfriend is my best friend. I can tell him anything and know that he won’t judge me for it. Friends that care about you and love you unconditionally- those are the types of friends you want in your life.

Friendzoned

Ahhh, the dreaded friend zone. This is the type of friendship that is one-sided. You or your friend feel something more for the other but are too afraid to say something out of fear of losing the friendship for good. Maybe one of you has said something and now it is awkward. Maybe the other person didn’t feel the same way. Maybe, just maybe, they felt the same way and now the friendship has turned into a relationship. Whatever the result may be, the best option is to just go for it! You never know what may happen and if it is meant to be then it will be.

Signs You Might Be In the Friendzone

You guys go to matinée movies together and never go out alone at night.

Nothing physical. You don’t hold hands, you definitely don’t kiss.

He calls you bud or buddy and not in a cute way.

He is always texting other girls and talking to you about it.

He asks you for relationship or dating advice.

He says you are “just one of the guys.”

You ask him for a favor and he doesn’t come through. If a guy really like you he would do anything to get your attention.

Here are a few for the boys!

If she calls you up and invites you to “girl’s night” Bring the icecream and a copy of the notebook because you are in the friendzone.

She is always complaining to you about her asshole boyfriend and never giving any sort of hit hit that she may be into you.

She is always trying to get you to date her friends, or trying to get you to find a girlfriend.

Pin Up Inspired Fashion, Hair Styles, and Makeup!

The Pin Up girl inspired look has been making a huge comeback in the fashion

world over the last few years. Jessica is OBSESSED with Pinup girls and has even

done a Pin Up shoot herself. So she had the great idea to make a look inspired

by these classic women.

Here is a look at her shoot! (:

The clothing pin up girls are known to wear are bright colors as well as
black and white. Polka dots are a must for these girls and the tighter the
dress the better. There are girls who dress like this everyday and don't
consider it a costume, but a fashion statement.

If you are lucky enough to have red hair like Jessica then you are half way to obtaining the right hair for this look. These are the classic pin up curls. We love this Youtuber who loves this look and can show you how to get these perfect curls. Watch it here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8kSr73qwHI

But You don't have to have red hair to rock this style! Even Kim Kardashian has been seen sporting the classic pin up bangs. This is another classic hair style of these women but it does take a little bit more time to get this look. We found a great tutorial on how to get a variation of this and you can watch it by clicking this link---->
