Shandi-lee XXX {contentment}

hi flickrlovelies <3! How are you?! I decided to take some pictures this afternoon, it was like -25ºC outside though so, indoors won again!

*XXX = 30 haha this isn't supposed to be some super explicit image or anything like that.

**SUPER SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MY GIRLS Michaela & Alyssa for their sososososososososo sweet testimonials! You guys are the cutest <3 if for some insane reason you haven't looked at their streams already, GO NOW!!!

♥♥♥ we should be friends ♥♥♥

***I was also tagged by a buncha cuties: Amber, Michaela & Morgan. You are missing out on life if you haven't seen these lovely girls' photos!

I. non-fat, decaf, white chocolate mocha w/ whip in da cup ;) I get non-fat milk because too much milk bothers me, I love whipped cream way too much to skip out on that though! (In my mind this combo evens things out...)
II. I need to re-dye my roots real bad eek.
III. I love Valentine's day because there's sooo much of two of my favourite things around--hearts and pink things!
IV. my favourite colours include: peachy pinks, grey (I know it's not...), yellowy-greens, turquoise, other pinks, light and dark purple but not red-purples, more on the blue side and many more, I love love love colours.
V. what are some fruity and sweet perfumes? I want to buy a new scent for spring and I want to try something fruity but I'm not a fan of strong scents, I like things light and super sweet smelling.
VI. I want to make a video for flickr, I think when I hit my 100,000 total views mark I will make one to celebrate hehe
VII. my friend calls Starbucks Starby's and my mom calls it Bucky's lol...
VIII. I call Starbucks, Starbucks. Edit: actually...I call it Sturrbucks when I'm feeling hip.
IX. I had a job interview today tehe. I think it went well, at least, I hope it did. (I've never had one before this was my first!)
X. I'm so happy ♥

p.s. if you ever wanna read my rambles and see the exact same photos, (plus some extras that don't make the flickr cut), feel free to be my tumblr friend :)

p.p.s. I always get nervous with who to tag, sometimes I tag who's tagged me, then try to find some others...I think I end up tagging the same people. MUST BREAK OUT OF COMFORT ZONE ONE DAY.

p.p.p.s. that braid is just normal, I have to get my mom or someone else if I want it french braided from the start, I'm not skilled enough haha.

    Shandi, you're the mostest adorablest person I've ever encountered EVER.
    I don't even care if that sentence had some words that don't even exist, it's
    just true. Are you a natural brunette? You go much better blond, I think ;) I'm
    totally going to send you a Valentine's letter, so be expecting one! ♥
    Hope you landed the job! <33 edit: FIRST COMMENT. WOO. :D

    <3333!!! Although some photos don't show it as so, my natural hair is actually like...dark ashy blonde? It's definitely not warm enough to be brown, it just sucks, it's got no natural highlight and is just not a nice colour. I'd like to be brunette naturally to be honest, but no, I'm some random colour that I definitely lighten and tone the heck out of haha. THANK YOU for all of those sweet things!!! I am ecstatic to receive anything from you, even if you sent me an empty page...I'd still love it! SUPER duper excited that it's a Valentine letter awwww <3 I want to send you something more as soon as I can :) hope you're well love

And good luck with getting the job!

I like pink and I like purple, I don't want them mixed up aha. My voice is super high and I'm really strange, I'm nervous but I've got a few thousand views to go :)! Haha I have a weird family and friends they make up names for everything. ANNND thank you, thank you, thank you! <3
