Week 4 day 1

Last night was my written test on sculpture (96%), and our practical on the classic bob and the proper blow-dry technique (100%). I was really proud of my practical. I was very accurate and the blow-dry was nice and smooth.

I am super excited to start on the graduated bob (aka g-bob) tonight! It's supposed to be one of the hardest cuts, but it's so cute! I'm seriously considering getting my hair cut in that style as well. And I'm even more excited to start color in 2 weeks!!!

I did decently in my food yesterday, though having pizza for breakfast was mostly because my youngest woke up at 4:30 and I was somehow hungry.

Week 3 day 5

Last night we cut a classic bob again and learned how to properly blow dry it. It made me wish that my hair would do a good job staying that way every day, it is so cute! I can't wait to try it on a real person! We will cut at least one more time on Monday for our practical. Next week is the graduated bob.

Yesterday did not go as planned for eating. I started out doing fairly well, but then I went to Panera for lunch. I tried to pick out something healthy, but when I put in what I ate, it ended up ridiculously high in calories. After lunch, I only had 300 alotted calories. I tried to just deal with it, but then there was free pizza at school, so I figured it was a good cheat day.

Week 3 day 4

Tonight was week 3 day 4 at Tricoci for me. We finished our first attempt at the classic bob haircut. I did well and was definitely proud of myself.

On to more telling things! Last night after coming home, I singlehandedly, in less than 15 min, devoured 3 beefy 5 layer burritos from Taco Bell. This was my low point, my moment of realization. I am studying to help people take care of their hair, nails and skin. It's possible to still make those things look healthy despite a person's poor nutrition and diet, but it would be much better for the person to help themselves as well. But who am I to comment on someone's eating habits when mine are so completely awful. As a cosmetologist, it is part of my job and responsibility to model to my clients the way things could be. If I walked into an appointment with a drip of nacho cheese still hanging off the corner of my mouth, I most definitely would not be modeling good eating habits to my clients, just as much as if I came in with horrible hair or clown makeup. That would speak volumes to them, and not the good kinds.

So, that being said, I have started this blog, not to only be a food log, or a place to just rattle off what I ate for the day, but also as a suggestion for recipes and to share what I am doing in class in more detail. I will probably include a snapshot of what I've eaten, but I will also talk about what I'm learning.
