PinkLouLou takeover!

Hey ladies! As you can see, Whitney's blog has been victim of a PLL hijacking! If this is our first meeting, well then hey giiiirrrrl! I have a dog, a blog, and a passion for hair and makeup- almost comparable to my passion for Carrie Underwood. 

See.. My Carrie sisterhood runs DEEP. Haha. 

(I still can't believe I met her!)

WOW. I just realized I have some serious, SERIOUSSS issues. ;) 

Anyway, on with my point of today's post, lets talk hair. I know it sounds silly but hair inspires me. (what?) Yes it does, go with it. I am not sure where my affinity for doing hair came from, but I have always loved doing it. I didn't go to cosmetology school, but toyed with the idea more than once. 

So after years of doing friends hair all the time anyway, I decided to start my own side business doing freelance hair and makeup, and I am having an absolute blast doing what I love. I swear I learn something new everyday. 

I love recreating looks from pictures, and also love trying new things. There is no rhyme or reason to my madness, I just grab a glass of pinot grigio, and and start poofin'! Haha. I get so excited helping and showing girls how to master different looks on their own. It really is what I love to do. 

I get most of my inspiration from celebrity pics. Some of my favorite Carrie looks include...

{She can do no wrong in my book} ha ha ;)

I also love darling little Reese, and have serious hair envy of Lauren Conrad. 

I mean seriously LC, stop it. You are too damn pretty. 

One of my favorite cuts ever was Miss Jessica's back in 2005 maybe? 

So.stinkin.precious. 

I remember taking this pic to my hairdresser and her being like 'oh sweetie... you don't have enough hair for this'. 

HAHAHAHA. It's true. I have less hair than the average 2 year old. 

So how do I get those long locks pictured above? Well I fake it, le duhhh. ;) 

About two years (and countless weaves) ago, my life was forever changed when i discovered that I too, could have the hair I had always dreamed of. 

Confused? Don't worry. I spill all my hair secrets here. 

I am so glad that I have taken this jump,  this leap of faith to start my own little business doing what I love. It's scary sometimes putting yourself out there! Will I make a million dollars and retire at 29? Pssh-clearly not doing hair and makeup haha. BUT I love it, and it is fun, and exciting, and I feel so fulfilled when I master the exact look my clients were wanting.

  Aaaaand i still have my day job. ;)

So what inspires YOU? What would you be doing if you had all the freedom in the world? Isn't it fun to think about??? Wouldn't the world be such a happier place if we could all do what we love all the time?? 

Have a happy Friday ladies!! Thanks for having me Whit, and have a BLAST in NYC!!!!
