yup my weapon is a broom handle
This is at the hair school with some students
After work Dallas and Stefany invited us to Tucano's for din din which was delicious as always and then we rented a movie and gave out candy to trick-or-treaters. An overall wonderful Halloween
Last Weekend I had the opportunity to Minneapolis, MN with my co-workers from the Aveda Institute that I teach at. It was fun, busy, inspirational and exhausting! I learned a lot of cool stuff. They had us going from sun up to basically sun up for 2 days straight. It was so cool tho to be around so many cosmetology educators like myself from all over the U.S. and Canada. There were over 700 educators there! It made me realize how big Aveda is and its potential in Utah. I love my job and am so happy to work for a company that is so good to its employees. We were spoiled on this trip. I love Aveda!! Really now...at first I wasn't all that sure about it but now its an awesome company to be a part of.
Goodbye Utah
Oh Kenzi...I love this girl...I don't think I would have made it through this trip without her...she was like my mother haha. Literally, she had my schedule me for every day, she made sure I was up in the morning, let me put my heavy shoulder bag on her rolling one cuz I sure didn't think of a rolling one even tho I knew we would have to carry it several blocks to the hotel, made sure I bought a jacket cuz I'm an idiot and didn't bring one to freaking Minneapolis!, and most importantly...on the flight home the weather was really bad so turbulence was really bad so I got REALLY motion sick (it probabaly didn't help that we ate Thai food right before and I ate a king size bag of M&M's at the airport, again I'm an idiot), but Kenzi was there to take care of me by: ordering me a sprite and pretzels (which I refused like a nauseous child at first but then after having a little of each, felt much better), putting her freezing cold hands on my forehead to cool me down, and talked me through the landing cuz I was LITERALLY 1 second away from puking as we touched ground, she kept saying"just breathe, you're almost done" over and over again. Man I owe you big time Kenzi! Thank you!
Hello Minneapolis, MN
Here is the Provo team: me, Chelsea, Kenzi, Matthew, Meg, Heggy sitting in class. Yes I'm pretty sure we were the smallest staff there...all in good time tho
Minneapolis was an interesting city! Some of the craziest architechure I have ever seen but beautiful.!
Apparently shoe-shining is a regular practice and is very popular because these things were everywhere!
Me and Kenzi in front of our hotel which was beautiful and used to be an old train station
"Oh take one of me laughing!! haha"
There were some creeps...
...and lovers...and creeps:)
This is the Aveda Institute Minneapolis and it may not look like it but it is HUGE! It just keeps going and going, its 4 stories and the place seriously reminded me of Hogwarts!! Huge stairwells, random hidden closets, and it used to be some sort of temple so it has that old, actual handcrafted design castle feel. It was soo cool. They have like 700 students.
And when I saw these decorative trunks I seriously felt like I was off to Hogwarts! (ok so I'm a little excited for the new Harry Potter movie to come out)
Oh and sitting in more classes
This woman is Antoinette Beenders. And she is crazy AMAZING! She is known globally with Aveda and wow she is pure talent. Below is some of her work. The pic right under her is her doing a haircut in literally 5min and with no comb and it looked amazing! She would just pick up sections of hair and chop it off! It really made me want to not be sooo technical with my cutting and be more artistic. She is really inspiring
Overall great experience with my co-workers.
I was super excited to get home tho! I was missing my hubby and kiddies
