<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
After talking about my newest tattoo, I've had a few people message me asking for tips about getting a tattoo. So here you are folks...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Disclaimer: I am not a tattoo artist nor am I a professional or expert. This is based solely off my tattoo experience.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span>

<a href="http://queeriouslife.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/tattoo_needle.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfgd_ESfiLjTep_xP5MJwAIOYB3cht6sq-Xqh81XN4uzjzR8Cmkdk6qPSxcaPgphYe0ug5lqC1OPNd35E433g5fMR37kHcPh1IrxVrthCly-4TGy7Hq7C2cUC4ul03TtzTbhKZ0KM9n5o/s1600/tat.jpg" height="191" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Before:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Do your research! Make sure the tattooist is licensed and the shop is legit. </li>
<li>Use common sense when picking a design. Small details will one day become blurred no matter how good the artist is.</li>
<li>Please don't get your significant other's name unless you've been together 50+ years. It'll be a beeatch to get removed or covered once he breaks your heart.</li>
<li>Placement. Placement. Placement. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Day Of:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Wear comfortable clothes. Depending on how large the tattoo is, you may be sitting there for a while.</li>
<li>Personally, I like to bring my own pillow. I've been in many different positions when getting tattooed and I don't want to be lying on the same pillow that 1,000 others have used.</li>
<li>Take acetaminophen before going. It'll help. A little.</li>
<li>Make sure you watch the artist open a new needle. If it's a good shop, they'll automatically do it in front of you.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>After:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>A few hours after you get home, wash it with Dial Antibacterial Soap (the gold one). Do not re-bandage; airing it out will help the healing process. Wash your tattoo 3-4 times a day. My rule of thumb was when I woke up, after I got home from work, and right before bed. </li>
<li>Do not take a bath, go in a swimming pool/hot tub, or soak that body part for a couple of weeks. Make sure it's fully healed before doing so.</li>
<li>Keep it moist! For the first 5-7 days, use A&D Ointment or Aquaphor. Once it begins to peel is when I switch to Lubriderm Fragrance Free Lotion. </li>
<li>Artists will tell you to not cover your tattoo with a bandage after he/she initially does. Personally, I prefer it to be covered if I'm wearing tighter clothing to prevent it from rubbing. I've had zero problems with this however everyone is different.</li>
<li>Once your new tattoo starts to peel, don't pick or scratch at it! Pulling pieces off can pull ink out, leaving you with a fudged up tattoo. Although it should be a given, don't shave that area for a few days. Your skin is trying to heel itself, shaving can cut it and delay the process.</li>
<li>Show that bad boy off!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Good luck folks! </div>

<br /></div>
<br />
Yup, that's my blog lately. Poor thing. Do you ever feel like so run down that the last thing you want to do is sit on a computer?<br />
<br />
For me, after a long (and trust me, lately they've been <i>l-o-n-g</i>) days work, the only things I want to do when I get home is, in order...<br />
<br />
Get changed into <strike>fat</strike> comfortable clothes. <span style="font-size: x-small;">This includes removal of bra.</span><br />
Grab a snack.<br />
Snuggle the baby girl on the couch.<br />
Catch up on my shows.<br />
<br />
Usually, I end up waking up sometime around 5pm wondering where the last hour and a half went then re-watching whatever show I had originally turned on since I missed it the first go-around. Sammy doesn't mind though. I mean, it's extra snuggles <span style="font-size: x-small;">and naps</span> for her.<br />
<br />
Part of this had to do with the fact it was getting dark so early; it would throw off my whole night.<br />
<br />
So here it is - black and white - I am going to do more!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More walks now that it's finally getting warmer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes, finally after our 42789 month long winter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More blogging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More cooking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Say what, who typed that?! That's a complete lie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">More living.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <em>noun.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A rich and fashionable social set the members of which travel widely for pleasure.</span><br />
<br />
I am far from the definition of a jet-setter however, I've had some pretty fun adventures this past month or so.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of August, I completed another rescue mission with <a href="http://flypups.org/" target="_blank">FlyPups</a>. We brought two dogs - whom originated in TN - from Roanoke, Virginia to New Jersey where one met her foster mom and the other her furever mom. I can't even begin to explain the joy felt knowing I had part in giving these girls a second chance.<br />

I was once a blogger.<br />
<br />
And if you are waiting for picture of our new home, keep waiting - just don't hold your breath.<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>(I don't want to be responsible for any deaths)</em></span></div>
<br />
Although our living room and kitchen look nice, the hall still has boxes in it, the offices have random crap lying around, and the closet... lets just say I'm not even going to go there!<br />
<br />
So what have I been doing since I obviously haven't been doing stuff around the house?<br />
<br />
Working.<br />
Working.<br />
Oh and...<br />
Working.<br />
<br />

<br />
Seriously though, I've been working around 50 hours between my two jobs then putting in more hours at home for the non-profit (check us out on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/flypups" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/flypupsinc" target="_blank">Twitter</a> #shamelessplug).<br />
<br />
So if any of y'all would like to come put my house together for me, my door is open!<br />

<br />
This was not the post I intended to write though...<br />
<br />
After getting home, I grabbed my computer ready to post about our new apartment. Although we don't have everything put away yet, I was excited to share the progress of putting our home together. I sat down and flipped on the TV for some background noise.<br />
<br />
That was when I heard the news. Reports of a tornado in Oklahoma.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, posting about our apartment seemed wrong... <br />
<br />
Loved ones. Family heirlooms. Memories. Gone.<br />
<br />
I pray for those who have lost. Those who are hurting, grieving. Those now in Heaven.<br />

<br />
On our two year engagement-versary, we cleaned out our first apartment together -- our home for the last four years -- and drove away leaving the keys on the counter. <br />
<br />
And today we slept in. For the first time in weeks, we didn't HAVE to wake up. We didn't HAVE to pack. Although there is a bunch to unpack, we decided that most of it could wait a day - we needed to rest. <br />
<br />
It's nice to finally relax. Take a deep breath knowing that besides from the unpacking, it's over. No more running between houses. No more stressing about packing. Instead I can sit in our beautiful backyard and watch Sammy run off leash (something she could never do at our old house). <br />
<br />
They say hard work pays off in the end and it definitely proved itself during this move. Hopefully the next time we move it will be to a house in our name! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM8VAlRlM6fmgX9aRoHfqa3EIYBzHcw1LQpLO6L0woO2uzxRc4MSt6lce61vHPE4herw-SfC6hQkwfmYpeY38ge4xMAjooP7XZYf1iOqX5izDCsLrT_k5FXBtbxwUxgzLnYtiKMjIOs74/s640/blogger-image--2077860345.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM8VAlRlM6fmgX9aRoHfqa3EIYBzHcw1LQpLO6L0woO2uzxRc4MSt6lce61vHPE4herw-SfC6hQkwfmYpeY38ge4xMAjooP7XZYf1iOqX5izDCsLrT_k5FXBtbxwUxgzLnYtiKMjIOs74/s640/blogger-image--2077860345.jpg" /></a></div>Sarah @ 90 Percent Blonde...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07113787994112634102noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510299402607125307.post-30879114480283835542013-04-17T10:02:00.000-04:002013-04-17T10:02:24.156-04:00My life, lately. Also known as: Why I've been a bad blogger...I've obviously been absent from here lately and although I'm normally just too lazy to open my computer or have nothing to write about, this time it's legit. <br />
<br />
<strong>Lately...</strong><br />
<br />
-- I found a second job that is closer to our new apartment. I'm going to keep working at my first job, just not as much since it's going to be a 45 minute commute.<br />
<br />
-- My first job's manager quit on Sunday. Talk about a circus! If I didn't have enough stress before, I sure do now.<br />
<br />
-- Between the two jobs, I'm working 62 hours a week. Goodbye life, hello paychecks!<br />
<br />
-- In the midst of all this, I'm still going to the new apartment as much as I can to clean and begin moving stuff in.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Until we fully move and I get a post together, you can watch our new home updates on Instagram, </span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">username 90PercentBlonde #shamelessplug</span></em></div>
<br />
-- I've come to realize how much complete crap a person obtains when living in the same place for 5 years.<br />
<br />
-- Our DVR is 85% full. Maybe one day I'll have time to watch stuff again. And by one day, I mean definitely after this move takes place.<br />
<br />
-- Sammy knows that something is up but isn't quite sure of what yet. Nothing a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's (so we can finish moving) won't fix!<br />
<br />
And although I am stressed to the max, I'm happy to be starting this new chapter of our lives in good 'ol Pennsyltucky!Sarah @ 90 Percent Blonde...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07113787994112634102noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510299402607125307.post-51123163750521221392013-03-14T08:30:00.000-04:002013-03-14T08:30:04.736-04:00It's ok Thursday...<center>

<br />
And before you think 'I wonder how much she's getting paid for this' the answer is a big, fat nothing!<br />
<br />
A few months ago, I went to Target <em>(I know, shocker)</em> and since they had just opened their market section, they were handing out bags of samples when you walked in. Most were sample-sized items except one... John Frieda Full Repair Conditioner. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://blondesmakethebestvictims.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/john-frieda-full-repair-shampoo-and-conditioner3.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxYiaAyozhwJoKWQZ0MIwkTbN4GymdieZ6Wid52VvgNu2hkIXO0_0T-095mT3HqEmKv7gZNidxaJvR9mhB69N19rG-8mn3gnTMh-9OiTsU01sTidmN_cWXRE-aJdmJbVuayMY0oUFDmT8/s320/john-frieda-full-repair-shampoo-and-conditioner3.jpg" width="201" /></a></div>
<br />
After one use with my normal shampoo, I knew I had to go back and get the shampoo to go with it. Since then, I've purchased more bottles of it and got some of my friends turned on to it. <br />
<br />
This stuff is legit amazeballs and only $6! My hair was so soft and shiny after just one use. It's safe for color-treated and chemically-treated hair and helps with damage made by curling/straightening.<br />
<br />
Call your sister. Call your best friend. Call your boss.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Don't call your enemies -- they deserve nasty hair.</span><br />
<br />
Take my warning though... Once you use it, you'll be hooked!<br />

Still? Again? Something like that...I know, I know... Once again it's been weeks since a new post. Want the run down of my life? Sick. Sick still... Sick again... I'm not sure which to classify it under but what I had came back with a vengeance! I am <em>so</em> ready for spring and summer to be here -- obviously my body can't handle the weather fluctuations.<br />
<br />
So I'm not a complete Debbie Downer, I'm blogging from the beautiful Poconos today! It was just for overnight and I'm getting ready to head back to NJ but it's nice to get away for the night. Nothing beats sitting on the porch, drinking tea, while looking at mountains even though it's only 55-degrees and partially cloudy. <br />
<br />

In other news, our landlord was able to re-rent our house after the first showing!<br />
::insert hap-pay hap-pay hap-pay dance here::<br />
This means I don't have to worry about anyone else tramping through my house while my family and I are still residing there. We are hoping to start moving stuff to the new place soon (holiday stuff, stuff that won't be needed in the next 45 days)!<br />
<br />
That's all for now -- off to enjoy the last few hours of mini-vaca!<br />
<em>(And lets be honest here, I have to make it home in time for The Bachelor finale!!)</em><br />

<br />
That's right! As of May 1st, we will be out of our drafty, outdated apartment and in a new one. This move is a little bittersweet though...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our current place is the first place Beau and I lived together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where we have had many 'firsts'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The house where we brought Sammy home for the first time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where we've made our home for the past 4 years.</div>
<br />
But with that aside, I am beyond excited. We will be downsizing a little but rent/utilities is going to be cheaper and the back yard meets up with fields upon fields of farmland. Plus it's a two bedroom -- right now to be used as Beau's office but you never know when we may decide to expand our little family... Kidding! Unless someone keeps posting pictures every morning (I'm looking at you <a href="http://www.iloveyoumorethancarrots.com/" target="_blank">Ashley</a>)! <br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for moving updates and a new home tour in the next few months!Sarah @ 90 Percent Blonde...http://www.blogger.com/profile/07113787994112634102noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510299402607125307.post-73528789771734687732013-02-21T11:46:00.000-05:002013-02-21T11:46:37.186-05:00My life as of lately...In the past week, my life has consisted of...<br />

Tissues.<br />

And more tissues.<br />
<br />
Oh, and cough drops.<br />

<strike>And Girl Scout cookies.</strike><br />

I've been nursing this semi-cold for over a week now and it sucks! I don't even think I'd be as annoyed if it was a full blown cold but this sore throat and occasionally runny nose gets old quickly. <br />
<br />
I'm going to Target soon though -- that should help, right?<br />

<br />
I am beyond grateful to have you in my life. You're a wonderful fiancé and puppy daddy. Although some mornings I could do without your morning breath, I couldn't imagine waking up without you. You're my rock. <br />
<br />
Loved you then, love you now. Always have, always will. <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Your equally (if not a little more) sexy wife-to-be<br />

Thankful.<br />
Protected.<br />
<br />
There's been something I wanted to blog about but wasn't quite sure how to put my emotions into words. I think the above pretty much sums it up though so here we go...<br />
<br />
As most of you know, I went to Virginia for New Years and spent a week down there. The weather wasn't the best the day before we left and was suppose to be crummy on my way home. Instead of taking my little car with its low-profile tires, my parents had me take their four-wheel drive SUV that I normally use in the snow. It was a smooth ride there and a smooth ride home. No car issues whatsoever. <br />
<br />
Fast forward to the very next time the vehicle was used after my trip. My mom went to go somewhere -- Got in the car, stepped on the brake, put the car in gear, but then the brake pedal went to the floor and the car started to creep forward. Yup, the brake line blew. The same brake line that had just gotten me home safely after an 8 hour, 75-80mph trip. <br />
<br />
It makes you take a step back and think...<br />
Think about luck. Think about chance. Think about fortune.<br />
<br />
It easily could have gone while I was driving home over the Blue Ridge Mountains, when I was closer to home going getting off the interstate, or even after my mom had left the house. But it didn't. It happened in our driveway where everyone was safe.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYsLW-9JU-8MJs1JmxNVkyI2LVjAMzdQfiQ9UXURRW6gxtSlaEB5ylWq8qPtOVKtiwkKuhx5uJGYNf1Do21e3FOnamseGvQsC_-2tmqSlWy0QsX8OIT85t2Ytm0OpxDhbngM6Df3EaYew/s1600/LG-The-Blessed-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYsLW-9JU-8MJs1JmxNVkyI2LVjAMzdQfiQ9UXURRW6gxtSlaEB5ylWq8qPtOVKtiwkKuhx5uJGYNf1Do21e3FOnamseGvQsC_-2tmqSlWy0QsX8OIT85t2Ytm0OpxDhbngM6Df3EaYew/s320/LG-The-Blessed-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I do believe that someone was looking over me then and every day and I am beyond blessed to have that person - that spirit - above me.<br />
<br />
What makes you feel blessed?<br />
<br />
Hoping everyone is enjoying 'Nemo' (although we haven't seen much of it here).<br />
Have a great - and safe - weekend.<br />

AKA: Detox bath post.Many - and I mean <em>many</em> - of you inquired about the detox bath I took <strike>the other day</strike> last week. Finally, here is directions and review you've all been waiting for...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b610/90PercentBlonde/bath_zpsad798ce2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b610/90PercentBlonde/bath_zpsad798ce2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Combine 2 cups of Epsom salt, 2 cups of baking soda, and about 1/4 cup of sea salt in a bowl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Draw the hottest bath you can stand to sit in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add dry mixture while bath is filling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also add a few drops of essential oil into the water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*IMPORTANT* Get a big glass of water to drink while bathing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soak for no less than 20 but no more than 40 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweat. Sweat. Sweat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweat out some more toxins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shower off and be careful getting out of tub (could be slippery due to salt).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do not apply any lotions, creams, nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Drink more water and relax.</div>
<br />
You may be pretty tired after the bath. I took mine an hour before bedtime (then stayed up an extra hour to watch Snooki and JWOWW) (did I just admit that?) and drank a large bottle of water. I can't stress the water drinking enough -- you'll be dehydrated if you don't and will do more harm then good. Make sure you pee before going to bed! Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep and if you're like me, you'll sleep like a rock that night. I can't speak for everyone but I felt amazing the next morning. Amazing.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Welcome to Lifetime's new show, Double Divas. According to balleralert.com it's <em>'a peek into the world of intimate apparel at Atlanta's renowned boutique LiviRae Lingerie'</em>. Although I haven't watched it yet, you bet I'll be checking it out and reporting back to y'all. <br />

Although no one thought it would be possible, we managed a win against LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on New Years Eve. I am beyond proud of those boys in orange! Now I just have to wait for my celebratory shirt to come in - you know, to go along with last year's ACC shirt.<br />
<br />
Happy weekend and remember to drink responsibly <em>aka: don't leave any alcohol in the bottom of the glass.</em><br />

I hope everyone had a great NYE/NYD. Mine was wonderful (although that feeling ended on my long drive back to NJ yesterday - which most of you probably know based on my instagram pics). I'm not one to make resolutions because lets face it, they'll be broken by January 15th. Instead, I'm following in the footsteps of other bloggers and making goals for myself for 2013...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think they are all possible - well, the back/hip one is a stretch but I'm going to try - and I am excited to put my mind toward reaching them! What are your 2013 resolutions/goals?<br />
