day one down

I should be in bed right now but I wanted to say a quick thank you so much for all your well wishes this morning! *feels warm fuzzies* They really helped my nerves! I had a great first day including a welcome pancake breakfast with the whole school, getting to know my classmates who all seem lovely (I make twelve in my class), and getting my kit! Can I just say wow?! It's hard not to feel like a professional already wielding my fabulous new blow-dryer of doom. Now I just have to learn how to use it properly...

a new life begins

Up with the dawn this morning but I'm still excited - my new life starts today! Paul Mitchell The School here I come... :P

welcome to Stylin' à la Fleur

With Cosmetology school starting next week there will be all sorts of things I want to share that don't seem to fit on my Costuming Blog, Jennylafleur, so a new home was needed - welcome to my Beauty Blog!

School will eat up a lot of my time in the next 12 months but I'm committed to sharing some of the things I learn along the way, what the cosmetology school experience is like, fun links, product reviews and the historic hair and make-up tutorials I've been promising my costuming friends for years.

The posts behind this one have been re-blogged from my costuming blog. I kept the original posting dates for context, which is why they are so spread out and sporadic, even though this blog actually opens today. But enough of the housekeeping notes - on to some current and original content...

Let the games begin!
