When I Get Sad I…

When I Get Sad I…

When I get sad I…….

Remember that everyone who works at the nail salon I go to loves me. 😉

Think about how hard I work at getting my college degree, which pays off in my straight A’s.

Look through my fabulous wardrobe filled with dresses, shirts, skirts, pants, and accessories in every shape, size, color, and pattern imaginable. Nothing makes me happier than piecing together quirky/cool new outfits to wear on the daily.

Examine all of my tattoos and piercings and remember how much pain I was in each time, but how awesome the end results are.

Think about my crazy family who drives me absolutely mental, but who I couldn’t live a day without.

Go through my archives of friendship memories with my best girl and guy friends and laugh over the millions of inside jokes accumulated over the years.

Go to Taco Bell.

Drink wine in moderation….yeah right. 😉

Pamper myself, because a bitch deserves it and my red hair has to be ridiculously bright at all times.

Get myself dolled up – dress, heels, red lipstick for days and go run errands while looking like a super sassy woman on the go.

Write, write, write whether it be on my blog, or a journal, or just random doodles on a scrap of paper.

Remind myself that things probably won’t get any worse. Lol, #optimist

Curl up in my blankets, pretend that I’m a burrito, and ponder the meaning of life.

Shave my legs, no matter HOW MUCH I hate it…which is a lot. (Nothing says ladylike like some smooth leggies!)

Cook a delicious dinner and watch my family enjoy it. (Which I’ll be doing today, because I just made a really yummy looking red lentil soup. I cooked for two hours this afternoon all while wearing a dress. Hello, housewife!)

Visit my favorite elderly friend at the retirement home, because it shows me that I’m capable of making somebody’s day. (And because I love her so much!)

Binge read a book to take me to a world that isn’t Akron, Ohio. (I’m currently reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and it’s amazing! I started it yesterday and am halfway through already!)

Remember that no one will ever, ever be me…Sarah (AKA Lil Red). A fabulous, sassy, smart, stylish, witty, caring, kind, generous, determined, and strong willed young lady.

This post was inspired by a Facebook status that I made today that read “When I get sad I remember that everyone who works at the nail salon I go to loves me, then I feel better. (insert cigarette emojis here)” I thought it would be a fun blog post and a good way to remind myself of ways to make me happy, so I took the idea and ran with it. What are some things that you do to cheer yourself up after a rough day? What’s your favorite comfort food to eat when you’re sad? (Mine is obviously Taco Bell). I would seriously love to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Renovation Station

Hi hi hi hi hiiiiii. So tomorrow I planned on showing you guys what the new renovations on our hallway/entry way look like, but then I remembered that I’ll be out of office for most of the day so I figured I’ll just get it out of the way now! I mentioned earlier that we were getting our hallway and whatnot painted and the finished product looks SO fab and shockingly modern considering my dad came up with most of the ideas! Take a look at the before and after pics:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

renovation2

I know that the lighting in these pictures isn’t the best, but you get the idea. Our faithful handyman who we go to for literally everything did such an amazing job. He spent the better part of this week painting, doing whatever else it is that he does, and making everything look perfect. I know you can’t really tell the color of the hallway in the very first picture on the PicStitch because it didn’t photograph very well, but it’s a sage green and it’s SO pretty. I’m really hoping that we can get some cool artwork to hang on the walls soon, because they’re looking super bare. But yes, being woken up early every morning by the handyman doing his thang was totally worth it, as you can see by the finished results!

^^^This has been my blogging soundtrack and I’m so obsessed it hurts. I love AWOLNATION too much and am so excited to listen to their new album in its entirety later tonight because I finally added it to my iTunes today!

Tomorrow my parents, my best friend Kate, and I are going to see Beauty & The Beast at Playhouse Square in Cleveland and I CANT WAIT!!!! I haven’t seen a musical in ages and shocking as it may be for some – I absolutely love them. It’s going to be so much fun and I’m really looking forward to telling you guys all about it, so make sure you keep it posted at lifewithlilred! I’ll try and get some pictures if I can!! ALSO, I have a really fun photo shoot planned on Sunday for some fresh new pics for the ol’ blog so make sure you come back and check them out! I’m not going to give the idea away completely, but I can tell you that the shoot revolves around my early birthday gift from my mom….a super adorable Betsey Johnson purse!! I live for Betsey Johnson’s quirky/girly/fun clothes and accessories so needless to say I’m beyond happy with my month and a half early gift! :))))

I hope all of you are having a terrific Friday night! I’m actually about to go watch The Theory of Everything again with my parents. They didn’t watch it with me last week and the movie was so nice damn right I’ll watch it twice! Have any of you done any home renovations lately? How did they turn out? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Goodnight. -Sarah

Monday Update: Feeling Better Edition :)

Monday Update: Feeling Better Edition :)

Helloooo everyone and Happy Monday! So as you guys know I had a pretty rough few days this weekend, but thanks to a glorious Saturday night hang out with my best friend/soul mate Kate (whom you should know all about!), I’m feeling much, much better. Sometimes all you need is an evening of girl time to shake the blues away. We had an eventful night of:

  • Telling each other our sob stories while drinking the most delicious hard cider I’ve ever had in my life.
  • Deciding it would be a good idea to finally see 50 Shades of Grey to help cure #50shadesofdepression, so we drove off to the only movie theater in our area still playing it. We then decided it would be a good idea to get some mini bottles of wine to sneak into the theater (because 50 Shades of Lame is definitely a movie you need to watch while drinking wine), so we went to Target and picked out some fabulously delicious Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato baby bottles.
  • After we got our dranks, we changed our mind on the movie and came up with the brilliant idea to go to a nature park to enjoy the great outdoors while sipping on our bubbly. So we went back to Kate’s apartment to get a blanket in case we wanted to sit down and some to go coffee mugs filled with ice to put our drinks in. Then we headed off to the Gorge, which is a hiking trail right near Kate’s living quarters.
  • Once we got to the trail we saw that it was jam packed with people because it was one of the first really nice days in good ol’ Akron, Ohio (#represent). So we decided that until the park cleared up a little we would sit in my car (AKA The Little Red Love Machine AKA #TLRLM) and smoke cigarettes, drink our vino, and listen to One Direction. (I’m just now realizing how antisocial that sounds, haha!)
  • After some down time in my whip we decided to walk to the overlook area that the trail has where you can gaze at the dirty Cuyahoga River #EW. Keep in mind that I had no idea Kate and I would be anywhere near a hiking trail today, so I had to walk there in my beloved black lace up Vera Wang wedges. I felt like such a goon, but hey, a gals gotta do what a gals gotta do.
  • We admired the filthy and flammable river for a while and then walked back to my car to refill our drinks. Best believe I’ll have buns of steel from that trek on the trail in wedges! So once we got back to the car we both had to pee like no other, so we made a dash back to camp to empty our bladders before hitting up Swenson’s (AKA the best thing that Akron has to offer) for a late dinner.
  • We got our food to go and then went back to the headquarters one last time so we could watch Parks and Rec while enjoying our food and some best friend cuddling! :*)

bffs

My best friend evening with Kate was honestly one of the best nights I’ve had in weeks, and I needed it so bad. I’m no longer a bummed out wreck over some of my sob stories that occurred this past weekend and for that I am so thankful! It’s seriously amazing how one evening of drunken tom foolery with your bff makes all of your problems seem so much less significant than they did initially. I feel like I’m ready to take on the world, and I have my partner in crime to thank for that! ❤

I hope all of you guys are having a fabulous Monday! I’m off to start a ten page research paper, so hopefully all of you are doing something much more enjoyable! Where are all of my fans of The Following at? How excited are you for tonight’s new episode?! I for one am stoked! I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Weekend Update: Sad Edition :(

Weekend Update: Sad Edition :(

Hiii everyone and happy weekend. As you can tell, I’m not feeling too hot right now. If you can recall from my last post, I mentioned being reunited with someone very special to me during my white girl wasted night, so let me go into further detail about that sob story…

Once upon a time in the winter I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most amazing guys ever. I fell head over heels for him but unfortunately things ended on a somewhat sour note. (Not like I wanted it to, of course.) Anyways, after things ended I never really heard from him again, which really hurt me – but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t think about him often and I missed him very much. Eventually it made me too sad to see his posts on Facebook, so I ended up unfollowing him so I wouldn’t see any of his statuses on my newsfeed, but he could still see mine. #SWAG So during white girl wasted night, after I threw back a bottle of wine AKA “liquid courage” I finally worked up the balls to text him. He replied back, and I learned that he was moving back to Florida this weekend to be with his mom and have a fresh start. We texted for a bit more and he asked if I wanted to hang out, and the answer to that was on obvious YES. I’m honestly convinced that we were supposed to see each other before he left…I mean think about it – if I didn’t drunk text him, I would have never known that he was leaving because he was unfollowed on Facebook and we weren’t in touch. (This is the one time that a drunk text has resulted in something good!) He always talks about how things are meant to happen and whatever and I really think that our final hang out was seriously meant to happen. It was so good seeing him and being able to tell him the things that were bothering me. We could have sat in silence all night and I would have been happy. I cried like a bitch so much that night…I just couldn’t help it. I felt so overwhelmed seeing him again with good and bad emotions and I was drunk so that didn’t help either. My heart aches at the thought of him being so far away, but I’m thankful that seeing him for the last time resulted in happy memories that I can cherish. When I got home yesterday morning, I showered and then proceeded to get into bed to cry all day. Lucky for me, I have an amazing sister because she did her damndest at cheering me up. She took me to Taco Bell, dyed my hair, listened to my sob story over and over again, and cuddled me real good before I fell asleep. She’s obviously the best sister ever. I feel somewhat better, but it still hurts I guess. When I walked into the kitchen a bit ago, I was clearly upset and finally caved and told my mom what was bothering me and instantly started crying again. I’m starting to annoy myself, because I never cry over guys. I’ve never really felt strongly enough about any of the guys or girls who I’ve dated to shed a tear over them, let alone a million. And all in the course of a day and a half? Ugh, hello heartache. I feel somewhat stupid, because we weren’t even seeing each other for that long, but I can’t help the way I feel, ya know? Believe me, if I could control my emotions I would have never let myself be swept off my feet by him. It’s whatever, I guess. Nothing is going to make him come back to Ohio and I probably won’t see him again for a very long time – if ever. I just have to accept it and move on, but it’s hard. It’s so fucking hard. #fml

Alright crew, I’m off to do homework and be a whiny baby for the day so I will talk to you all later. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! Have any of you had a situation similar to mine? How did you deal with someone you care about moving away? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Monday Update: Doing Good Feeling Great Edition

Whatsup guys and Happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I’m having a really awesome day so far! I’m doing good AND feeling great! I’m feeling completely healthy, which is cool because my stint with the flu left me with a bit of a cold that’s finally no longer. My weekend was fantastic, so I’m still in a good mood from that. AND school is going swimmingly…homegirl has straight A’s for days in all of my classes! Hurrah! Something that I’m feeling particularly happy about is an email that I got from my College Composition II professor today. I’m taking that class online and have never met my professor in real life. We’re nearing the end of our semester and we have an option to either meet up with her on campus or email her some questions for our conference on our final research paper. I wanted to meet up with her in person to discuss a few things, but unfortunately our times on campus never intercept with each other. I emailed her to let her know I’d be emailing her my conference questions and she replied back that was disappointed because she was really looking forward to meeting me in person. I was so flattered by this! I don’t know this woman from anyone, and the fact that our online interactions were positive enough for her to feel sad that we wouldn’t get to meet up in real life really means a lot to me. Our usual interactions are limited to her comments on my essays and homework and the occasional emails back and forth, so the fact that she finds my writing impressive and our little chit chats enjoyable makes me feel so good. I know that it’s a little thing, but it’s amazing how something so small can set such a positive tone for the rest of the day. Now that I know that my professor was looking forward to meeting Lil Red in all of my real life glory I plan on sticking around on campus on the day that we miss each other by an hour so I can see her. Call me a kiss ass or whatever, but if waiting around at school for an hour is what it takes for us to have a brief meeting, then I’m more than happy to do so! Yay school!

^^^My current blogging soundtrack! Enjoy! 😉

So I watched The Theory Of Everything last night as I mentioned in my Lil Red Pro Tips post and it was phenomenal…just as I expected. 😉 And in case you were wondering, my lava cake dessert that I was baking as I was blogging yesterday was SO delicious! It was a hit with my entire family, and it’s almost all gone already! We served it with our chosen combination of strawberries, whipped cream, and ice cream and it was nothing short of orgasmic….hey, every girl needs a good chocolate fix!

I hope all of you are having a great day! I’m off to finish some homework really quick before I get my haircut. Mama is getting super shaggy and I am so not okay with it! Where are my fans of The Following at? How excited are you for tonight’s new episode?! BTW – did you catch that they used Akron, Ohio (AKA Lil Red’s hometown #represent) as a reference point in last week’s episode?! So cool. Any questions? Concerns? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Bad Day Vent Session

Bad Day Vent Session

Whatsup crew. I don’t know about you guys, but my Monday fucking sucked. I’m still sick as can be and I’ve had to break out the Lil Red sassafras on two different assholes today, so yeah, I’m not happy. I’m not going to go into great detail about the two gentlemen who I had to stick it to, but I will say that Operation One Strike You’re Out (#OOSYO) was in full force, which I was sort of proud about. It’s like, if I wasn’t sick and irritable as all get out, I wouldn’t be so annoyed by the situation. But unfortunately, people breathing too loudly has pissed me off during my sickness stint – so imagine how two evil men being stupid made me feel…yeah, not pretty. I don’t wish to discuss the one guy, but here’s the story about the other in a nutshell:

SO this bloke who I’ve known for a very long time and who I’ve been somewhat romantically involved in (but not recently in the slightest) got in touch with me this afternoon. He went on to tell me this sob story about how his apparent dream girl cheated on him and asked if I could help send him some positivity. BOO FUCKING HOO. I mean seriously? Does this dude honestly think I want to hear about the girl who has “never made him feel this way before”? Like sorry I couldn’t do that for you when we were talking. THEN, he texted me again this evening telling me about how his use of booze and recreational drugs isn’t helping him feel better. That’s when I told him off. 1) I’m not going to be your shoulder to cry on when we haven’t spoken in ages and when you’re talking about a girl who isn’t me. 2) It is NOT my responsibility to make you feel better and to hear about your dumbass decisions. I straight up told him “do not put that on me.” Sorry not sorry, but I have a million problems of my own, the last thing I want to hear about is some woe is me tale from someone I haven’t been in touch with for months. Jesus Christ.

*Deep breaths* Okay, vent over. Cue the music!

Alright, I really needed to get all of that off my chest, and now it’s off to bed. I hope all of you had a much better day than mine! Where are my fans of The Following at? How did you feel about tonight’s new episode? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -A very angry, upset, annoyed, irritated, sick Sarah

PS: Happy happy birthday to my darling daddy! I love you so much! ❤ (Even though you hate your birthday!) :))))

Heavens To Betsy!!! -__-

Heavens to Betsy, crew. The old girl is dying over here!! Lil Red is absolutely exhausted. If you recall from yesterday, I had a rude 8 AM text message awakening, so I was super wiped out from that. One would think that I would have had the sleep of the heavens last night, but unfortunately that was not the case. I had the worst caffeine headache of all time yesterday night from drinking hella coffee all day. On top of my head feeling like it was getting hit repeatedly by a brick, my stomach was in knots as well. I was super nauseous while I was trying to sleep, so I spent a nice fifteen minutes or so in the bathroom just hanging out and dry heaving. It was a lot of fun, you should all try it sometime. Anyways, I got back into bed completely wide awake and proceeded to toss and turn for a solid three hours until I finally fell asleep around two. Before I zonked out I experienced every annoying thing that could happen when you’re trying to fall asleep: Being too hot, being too cold, having to pee, wanting something to drink, having to pee again from the drink, the list goes on and on. I had to get up at nine today to get ready to take my brother to work and I was not refreshed AT ALL! In fact, I felt like a bigger hot wreck today than I did yesterday….and I was a hot ass wreck yesterday. I swear guys, if I don’t sleep well tonight, I give up on Friday because I know I’ll be such a miserable bitch! Lord have mercy on a Lil Red! And do you wanna know the major kicker in all of this trauma? MY BELLYBUTTON IS STILL INFECTED!!!! My pasty pale stomach is never gonna feel sunlight on it again because I can’t wear crop tops with my bellybutton looking like a war zone! It literally looks like someone launched a grenade into my bellybutton hole, leaving only redness, dry skin, and destruction. #FML So it’s safe to say Lil Red has had a tough few days, but I’m gonna keep on truckin as usual through the shit show that I fondly refer to as my life. 😉

You might be asking yourself why the title of this post is called “Heavens To Betsy” and I’ll tell ya why: There are some fantastic, underrated phrases that aren’t being used nearly enough in the English language and I wanna make them a thing ASAP! To elaborate further, here’s a list of my personal favorite phrases that I’m hoping will hit mainstream lingo in the near future:

  • “Level with me”: This phrase is my number one favorite. The day I hear “Level with me, Sarah…do you want high heels or wedges for your birthday?” will be the happiest day of my life. And to answer that question….wedges please!
  • “Big deal”: This is a good one!! I love how blaize it sounds. “Sarah, I had an allergic reaction to a bee sting today.” “BIG DEAL!” 🙂
  • “Heavens to Betsy”: It speaks for itself. “Sarah, I had an allergic reaction to another bee sting today.” “Heavens to Betsy that’s twice in one day!”
  • Referring to yourself as “the old girl”: Ladies, I beg of you to start using this one. So 40’s fabulous I can’t even! Say “you sure know how to make the old girl swoon” to your beau and watch him or her crumble under your charm!! You’re welcome!

Oh yes, there are certainly some winners listed above, and I urge all of you to work them into your daily vernacular. And if the haters question them and the man gets you down, you just send them Lil Red’s way! 😉 While you mull over these phrases, here’s some tunes for you to enjoy!

So what are some quirky, fun, and fabulous phrases that you like to pepper your vocabulary with? I’d love to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Have a great night! -Sarah

Lil Red: A Secret Five Year Old

Posted on by

Lil Red: A Secret Five Year Old

A little known fact about Lil Red is that there’s a secret five year old trapped inside of me that comes out when I’m tired or hungry. Today I had the misfortune of being rudely awakened at eight in the morning by a text from the last person I wanted to hear from, on my spring break none of the less! I was so genuinely angry by this that I just couldn’t fall back asleep, so I’ve been awake and miserable since eight o’clock today. Let me bring you up to speed, I have a really difficult time falling asleep, even with the help of the sleeping medicine I’m on, so if I don’t get an above average amount of sleep every night I turn into an awful human being. You know how when little kids get over tired and they turn into total grouchy nightmares? That’s exactly how I am. 1) I’m exhausted. 2) When I don’t sleep enough, my pills will carry into the day, turning me into a zombie. So today I’ve been running on pure coffee and cigarettes, and all it’s done is make me nauseous and a hot wreck. My fuel of champions has totally curbed my appetite, so by the time I got around to shoe shopping with the lovely Miss Kate this afternoon, I was completely shutting down. I couldn’t even enjoy shoe shopping…and you guys know how much I love shoe shopping. It genuinely made my heart hurt. When I start feeling the evil combo of being tired and hungry, it’s the most indescribable feeling of terrible. It’s like the feeling of an oncoming flu that can only be cured by sleeping for twelve hours straight and eating until your body can’t take it anymore. Luckily I got a little fuel in me of the best kind because Kate and I got froyo after shopping, which was just what I needed. I got vanilla froyo with a lot of fruit on it and it was like the nectar of the gods. It was so sweet and refreshing and enough to make me feel like I wasn’t going to pass out at any second. It’s pathetic guys, like I got home from my lovely afternoon outing with the intention to take a nice hot bath, but by the time I got undressed I was so drained that the last thing I needed was a soak in scalding water. All that would probably do is make me dizzy anyways. And do you wanna know the real cherry on top of this no good very bad day? MY BELLYBUTTON IS INFECTED! So gross, I know, but it’s a story that must be told. SO, I rarely change my bellybutton jewelry because no one every really sees it but me, but with spring on the horizon I thought it would be fun to invest in some new jewelry since crop top season is among us. I don’t really care for very fancy jewelry, so I just snagged a few from Hot Topic. I’ve only ever worn silver jewelry, but I opted for a very cute gold one (and I know it’s not real silver or gold haha) and was super excited to put it in. Unfortunately after about a day of wearing it, my skin got insanely irritated – and it wasn’t just the skin around my piercing that I’ve had for over five years it was my ENTIRE bellybutton. It was inflamed, sore, and it burned like THE DICKENS!! Thankfully I’m on some antibiotics now that have helped immensely even in the day and a half of being on them. Moral of the story: I’m a hot ass wreck. Second moral of the story: Never EVER buy gold colored bellybutton jewelry EVER. Le sigh. I need sleep, Taco Bell, and more sleep stat. Tonight is a Netflix and eating hella food in bed night if I’ve ever seen one! So while I’m wallowing in self pity, please enjoy these fabulous tunes that I’ve been jamming to all day:

^^^ Ugh. I adore quirky-cute Courtney Barnett too much. Such a fun artist!

Alright crew, I hope your day was better than mine! I need some Netflix suggestions, so if you’ve been watching anything good leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -A very sleepy Sarah 😦

Spring Break Here I Come!!!

Spring Break Here I Come!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! One more week of class and then Lil Red is on spring break! My first spring break as a college student! :’) I don’t have any fancy or exciting plans, but that’s okay because a break is a break is a break. I suppose I do have some plans, that is if sleeping, eating lots of Taco Bell, and binge watching Netflix counts as plans. But that all sounds pretty pathetic….so I guess I plan on being pathetic – and I’m SO okay with that! Mama needs it! Not too much is new and crazy, but I do have some fun pictures to share with you guys while I take a break from stupid math homework. (Speaking of math, I’m doing shockingly good in my class! All of the stuff I’m learning right now is SO much easier than I remember it being in high school, thank gawd!) Yesterday I had a beautiful afternoon hanging out with my friend, Neva whom I’m sure you guys know all about from previous posts about her. Of course we had to take a selfie, so here’s us being fabulous divas as usual:

bffs

I love her :*) Seeing Miss Neva yesterday was a real treat, because she drew a lovely portrait of me! Neva loves art, specifically drawing and painting and she’s wanted to do a picture of me for forever, so yesterday we finally sat down and she drew me! It was so sweet, and I was all smiles the whole time. Once she finishes painting it, I’ll be sure to post a picture for your viewing pleasure. It was a much needed afternoon of girl talk and good old fashioned tom foolery. We had an absolute ball! 🙂

After a fun visit with my BFF, I had some hang out time at home before I headed over to Ramon’s (my sisters boyfriends) house to watch the season three premiere of The Following with them. The premiere was fantastic, as I expected and of course Kevin Bacon was looking fine as hell! ME-OW! Whenever I’m the third wheel to my favorite couple, cuteness always seems to happen between Kristen and Ramon. I decided to capture this first hand, as well as a disgusted reaction from myself. 😉

lololol

^^^ FOREVER ALONE FACE!!!!!! Hahaha, they’re so precious, and I’m so single – but that’s a-okay with me because as the saying goes: “I’m a strong, independent woman who don’t need NO man!” This pic has become an instant classic on Facebook and the source of hysterical laughter for me and Kristen. #foreveralone #singleandsomewhatreadytomingle

independent

I may be M.I.A. for a bit this week because I have quite a bit done before I can finally settle down for my break next week. However, I’ll try and post as often as I can, even if it’s just something short and sweet like today! OH and good news! Remember how I told you guys that my computer broke and I’ve had to use a super shitty old computer for homework and blogging? WELL, my computer got fixed and it’s ready to be picked up, so Lil Red will no longer be tearing out her beloved locks out of frustration! Huzzah!

Alright crew, I hope you have a fabulous rest of your day! Did any of you guys watch the season premiere of The Following? What did you think of it? I’d love to hear from you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
