Little Update

Ok, hi. I know its been a little while since my last blog post, I'm just so busy with school and...well... just school. (Very demanding) ANYWAY I am going to be posting a vlog of me and my friend, Joan at Target shopping as soon as I finish editing it. I will also be posting a "Get ready with me" video, which will basically be just me showing you what I do in the morning hair and makeup wise. I would LOVE to show you an OOTD but my school has a dress code, so my outfits are pretty boring. :/ I am hoping to do more fashion stuff in the future, because that is my main interest right now. So, if you have any ideas, please feel free to share them with me...I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR and if you have any ideas for things you want me to post in the future please tell me in the comments. One more quick thing, you should go check out laurenbeautyy on youtube. Joan showed me one of her videos and I watched some more at home, and now I'm hooked. THANKS JOAN. Oks that's all I really wanted to say so GOODNIGHT sleep tight and wash your hair.... That's a must. K bai.

P.S. (my grammar's bad today. Don't judge me) :)

A Journey

      I start to walk, on the pebbled ground. Trees pass my sight and glare at me as though I am something evil. The cold air touches my face and howls in my ear. "When will my journey be over?" I ask myself. I continue to walk forwards, refusing to look the way I came. Straight on, I go. I kick stones into the muddied grass and look down at my shoes. They are weathered away, scratched and bruised. I can hardly tell their color. The shoes hang by a single thread. I look to my side. Houses on my left and right, old and seeming abandoned. The place looks like a ghost town. I take notice of my backpack clinging to my side, sitting on my shoulder. It feels like a ton at the moment. My hair whooshes around my face, spinning in the wind. Through the cloud of hair I see my destination. My knees feel weak and my legs could give at any second but they remain below my waist, still and steadily walking. I cross the road thinking, "What will people think of me? A girl, in this place, with tattered clothes and messy hair with a year old backpack on her side." Yet, I press on. I am getting closer, the destination approaching. Up I walk, the gravel pathway. Out I reach my hand until it clasps the metal handle, I clench down and push. The door swings open and I feel the warm air blow onto my face. The journey is done. Until tomorrow.

Jeez, the walk home from my bus stop can be really hard sometimes.

School.....ugh.

We all know school sucks. The only thing absolutely fun about it is getting ready in the morning. Clothes, makeup, the works. For a natural cute school look, this is what I like:









Ok, so now you need to know the names of these beautiful products. Starting from the top we have an oversized sweater found on the Teen Vogue website form Mark-Kate's personal taste, then some black leggings from forever 21, found on comic-catastrophe.blogspot.com from someone with an AMAZING blog. And for the oversized sweater you can pair it with the black leggings or the gray textured tights from Forever 21. OK, time for makeup. Revlon lip butter, Covergirl packed powder, Fit me concealer, and Maybelline Master Drama eyeliner. Thas it! Try it and let me know what you think!

Story time, people!

Okay so there's two things you need to know before reading this story: 1) I have dogs 2) I have to be up early tomorrow.

So, here we go. Okay, at one in the morning I was about to fall asleep (I'm up so late because it took me forever to figure this blog thing out) and I noticed my dog was shaking. I thought he might be cold so I put him under the cover with me. He still shook. So I tried to calm him down and get him to sleep. He still shook. I was really confused and tired, so I just sort of started to drift off. Then, he began panting. Now I was really worried. Then, all of a sudden, I though maybe he had to use the restroom. So, I opened my door and BOOM he was out of there. I caught up with him and found he was starting to poop on the carpet downstairs. I yelled, "No! No, Nemo!" (Nemo's his name) I then proceeded to shove the poor, still pooping dog out of the back door. Okay, so the dog was outside doing his business and I had a HUGE mess to clean up. Ugh, I won't get in to that, but let's just say it took forty minutes to clean. And now, after being outside for almost an hour, my dog is in my room, laying on my bed and he STINKS! I'm too tired to wipe his behind now, but I guess I'll have to tomorrow. Great. Well goodnight, I'm off to get about three hours of sleep.

Me, Myself, and I

             
      Hi, I'm Alexa. I've always loved to write, but I found that I could never stick to anything. I would start a story and never finish. I would start a screenplay and never finish. I would start a movie script and, guess what, never finish. I'm pretty much a mess, but then again, isn't everyone? People seem to pretend they aren't. Why fake it? We're all a bit messed up, but, hey, that's what makes us human. Wow, that was cliche. Oh well, it needed to be said. So now, on to why I'm here. I am determined to finish this blog, I want to write everyday. I want to use it as an expression of myself, and to get somewhere in my life. Maybe it could open me up to new opportunities, you never know. See, I want to be a journalist, or blogger, or editor, or interior designer, or maybe even a fashion designer. The only thing I really know, is that I want, wait no, need to live in New York. I live in Texas in a small, hardly ever heard of city that I want to get out of. I mean, my life is great. I have great friends, a great family, but I feel I need something more. Not yet of course, I'm not quite ready, but one day I will be. My plan is to go to junior college here, then university in maybe Chicago, then it's the Big Apple for me!
      So anyway, I bet you're wondering why on earth my blog's name is "SplitYourHeart". Well I was reading my favorite magazine, Teen Vogue, and saw this quote, "I think that's what love is anyway--it's being willing to split your heart in half and give it to someone else," It was said by Curtis Kulig. I just thought it was beautiful. So that's the story, not very interesting, right? Well anyway, so I kept reading and found a page about teen fashion bloggers and thought, "Hey, blogging is fun and it certainly worked out for them so, why not?" I was thinking it could be beneficial and I could express myself. So here I am. Another quote I want to say is this, "A clothing hanger is just a bent piece of wire'" said by the brother of Justina Sharp, fashion blogger. It made me think that people can take something so simple and change it into something special and important. Kind of like saying a simple, replicate able, and unimportant thing can be made into something people see as something intricate. Maybe that's what this blog will become.
