Going Backwards!

Please ignore all of my spelling mistakes, its 1:21am

If I had 1 plane ticket, to go anywhere in the world and do whatever I wanted there, I would fly to Rexburg, Idaho to see this little guy

Porter Scott Munns/Porter Squish

Mothers, Fathers, Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents: I can see where you may be getting confused right now. Up until now, you've thought your little baby was the cutest thing ever, until you laid eyes on Porter. Its okay, Porter is the cutest, so don't feel ashamed.

Porter is my nephew, and I haven't seen him in 2 months! Today at work he is all I could think about!! AH! I would rather see him than do anything else! So whoever wants to buy me that plane ticket..:)

Moving on, also today, my dream job ALMOST came true!!!! So when I worked at Sundance, I met this amazing makeup artist/hairstylist, Maika Taylor who is very successful and had worked on several films, including Wedding Crashers, and all 3 High School Musicals!! That's right, she works for the Disney Channel, aka my dream job! So, today when I got done working, I see I got a text from her:
"It's times like this im sad ur in cali. I was just informed we need some extra help on this Disney show tomorrow:("
 WHAT THE HECK!!! So the show is called "Good Luck Charlie" and its on the Disney Channel. I told her i would drive there tonight, not a big deal considering thats the whole reason I even moved to Cali (looks like i'm in the wrong state). She was thrilled, but because they were filming at an airport (Gateway in SLC) security needed everyone's info prior to the shooting. Unfortunatley, they needed everyone's info 2 hours before I talked to Maika, so I couldn't go:( But, I am FIRST on the list for the next time they need a stylist, which means my dream job may be coming faster than I thought!!
Note: The main girl on Good Luck Charlie was on the first episode of JONAS playing Nick's love interest..which means they may be friends, which means if i ever do her hair...:)
So that was pretty exciting for me today!!

My family was/is in town this week!! Yesterday we went to the Santa Monica Pier, and the show "Castle" was being filmed! (its ok if you don't know what that is, neither do I). Its always fun to watch filming.
Basically a guy runs and jumps off the Pier into the sand.
When we were leaving I ended up asking one of the crewmembers where Hair and Makeup was, and they pointed me towards Edward (not Cullen). After talking to Edward, he invited me to come watch on-set sometime so I can see the process of how things work for television!! Since i'm not in the Union, all I can do it watch, but its still so exciting!!

Earlier that day, I got a real bed!! Since I've moved here, i've slept on the love sac, floor, and small matress type thing, so I haven't felt completely at home quite yet.. until my parent and I took a nice trip to ikea!!
This picture isn't that great, but basically I have a cute huge rug (only $20 bucks at IKEA!) A real bedframe!, New sheets and comforter cover, and super cute curtains!!! much better!

My friend Scottie (who you've seen in earlier blog posts) is in love with Selena Gomez. So, naturally when he hears about camping out for Selena tickets, he does it! After he got the VIP tickets, he invited me to go with him! It was a small concert for the Microsoft store opening in Costa Mesa. Scottie made a poster that said "I won't tell Justin" referring to her boyfriend, Justin Bieber. His friend Ridge made a poster that said "I won't kiss & tell" referring to her album "Kiss and Tell"
We didn't get there that early so we weren't too close to the stage. Luckily for Scottie though, Selena is a Disney Channel Star, which means most of her fans are little girls. Scottie being the 6'6 guy that he is, stood out, especially with his sign

Selena Gomez Red Carpet
When Selena came out, she saw the boys and their posters and smiled at them! That was super exciting, but it got better when later she made a comment about the "colorful posters" as she laughed. (obviously referring to Scottie and Ridge's) But, it got even BETTER when she read them out loud!! They were sooo excited when she publically aknowledged them!!

Selena did a great concert, and was so sweet, and the boys were swept away. She had a meet and greet after the show, but we didn't have tickets. Knowing that Selena thought their posters were awesome, we went to the Microsoft store, where the meet and greet was to be held, and tried to wait outside, just incase she would let them come in. Everyone else had the same idea,and a huge crowd formed and mall security made us leave. We went out at random door that took us to the outside door to the Microsoft store! When we saw fans, and extra security waiting outside, we knew she was going to come that way.
Above is Selena and Ridge, and she told him she wanted a picture with him
Below is when they told us to come to the hallway, where she wanted to meet the boys!

When we got to the hallway, Selena was like "I need to show Justin"!!! And had her people take pics with her phone. She thought they were so funny!!

SO basically Justin Bieber has seen Scottie's face!! And no, I didn't get a picture with her because I didn't even think of it! I was so excited for them to meet her!

 Earlier last week my friends Brittany, Melissa, and Rachel came in town for 4 days for Spring Break!!! We went to Disneyland, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the Pier!!

The weekend before that, I was able to helpout some friends I met at Sundance with a showing of their film Discover the Gift! I was in charge of checking in the VIP guests, and look who I got to escourt in!!

Edyta and Ana from Dancing with the Stars!!!!
The event was awesome and several hundred people attended the showing of Discover the Gift!!

Have you ever fallen asleep on the beach then woke up to find a Verizon commerical set being built right next to you??
i love la


That is all the short and condensed versions of my stories!! I have some good ones coming up!!
ps today my mom saw Michael Jackson's kids at the Pier.. random!

Keeping Up With.. My Life;)

What a day!!
Let's start with the bus.
So lately (today and last Saturday) I have been taking the bus to and from work, because i'm getting my car fixed. But, I actually like it better because I save on gas (which is over 4 bucks a gallon!!) and parking!Luckily for me, I only have to take one bus and it goes straight to Beverly Hills. I don't particularly like taking the bus in the morning because for some reason, thats when the creepers and homeless guys take it. (idk how or why the homeless guys take it, but they do!) In the evening however, its fun to people watch, and the people are normalish.. actually more funny looking/acting. Anyway, watching them is great.
So, today:
I get to the bus, with my $1.50 in hand ready to pay, when the bus driver tells me the money machine is broken and my ride is free! Sweet, I saved a dollar fifty!

Early Afternoon:
I went next door to the Coupa Cafe' to grab a cup of coffee for a client, and guess what "Reality" show they were filming! .... The Real Houswives of Beverly Hills! I walked through the shot, so hopefully this September you'll see my butt on national TV!  This girl.. i think her name is Taylor? or thats her last name? idk, she was there with 2 other girls

Taylor
I think she looks like that girl that just won on the Bachelor. It was funny watching them stop the scene and having the director or whoever come over and tell them what to say! She told one girl to ask/bring up her finances and say "did you know your finances would be like this, this year?" or something like that. SO funny! So much for reality.

Lunch Time:
My guilty pleasure lately has been watching Keep Up With The Kardashians on Netflix. I LOVE it! And, Mason (Kourtney Kardashians baby) is my favorite celebrity baby right now. So, that made it really exciting when I stepped out of the salon today, to see paparazzi next door taking picture of Kortney and Mason inside and little shoe botique!! Mason is the CUTEST baby ever!! Then they came outside and she walked right past me, (she's tiny!) Here's the pic I got on my phone, I was pretty excited!

Kourtney Kardashian and MASON!
 Here's a close up (not from my phone) of Mason:

I just realized this is the second and third Kardshian i've seen! I saw Kim 2 years ago in New York!

After Lunch:
I checked my e-mail real fast before I got back to work, and got a nice little message from EFY, telling me they decided to hire me to be a counselor this summer!!! EFY (Especially For Youth) is a program for youth during the summer. Its a camp that builds your testimony of Christ,and relationship with God! Its amazing, and so much fun!! My role will be to look after a group of 8-10 girls ages 14-15 or 16-18, do devotionals with them every morning and night, get them where they need to be, help them destroy at games night, and make sure they have the best time ever. I went 4 years, and had the most amazing experiences!! I'd put EFY right up there with Jonas Brothers concerts. Maybe even higher? idk.. Its been one of my dream jobs since my first year, so I can't wait!!
I will be doing a few sessions in Tacoma, WA, and possibly BYU-I and in California!!!! I'll let you know the set sessions when I find out!

Thursday and Friday I get to meet up and work with some friends I met at Sundance, and help promote their film Discover The Gift. If you want to come to the special screening of the film this friday, check it out at their FB event page http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=197491173612185&index=1

Saturday I get to go work on a small film, which will be great to be on set!!! I can't wait!!!!
Thats whats coming up! I'll let you know when something else cool happens

WOAH! just found out that my cousin Jon Crozier and his wife Kate (who i'm so excited to meet!) lives in California!!

Photo Shoots and Roller Coasters

Another great day in California!
Today I had a photoshoot with Butterfly &Kite for their fall lookbook! The shoot was in HollyWood hills, and I got there a little early, so I drove up pretty close to the famous HollyWood sign! Its so fun to see up close! When I got to the set, I looked out the window, only to see another amazing view of the sign!

We had a white backdrop for the shoot


I had such a good time on the shoot! The clothes were AMAZING! And the model was so down to earth, not anorexic, and had a pretty good head on her shoulders, which is so refreshing! (I only have another shoot to compare to lol) The photographer was awesome as well, and her husband directed or produced 4 Christmases! That was cool. Anyway, I get to chose something from the line! I can't wait! I'll post pics from the shoot when I can:)

When I got home it was about 75 degrees and Abby and rode our bikes to the beach!

Then we rode the roller coaster!

Last week in Celebrity sightings
JOE JONAS!

Just kidding, but I saw this picture online of Joe eating at a restaraunt outside, and I went running the next day and thought I saw him at an outdoor restaraunt and almost had a heart attack

Anyway, have a nice day!

A Novel

So far, I LOVE IT HERE!!!
Just to catch you up:
I met this fun girl  Lindsey Boice in my ward (church) who is actually from Federal Way, WA, and she is a photographer! She's so sweet, and we're planning on doing a shoot soon!
There is also another Lindsey Forrest in my ward who is a makeup artist. She just got bach from NY Fashion week, and doing the Oscars. Needless to say, she's awesome. She invited me to do hair on an upcoming photoshoot she's doing makeup for, for a clothing line! So cool! And its tomorrow, i'll let you know how it goes!

I've become a consistant runner! But I guess that's easy when you have an awesome place to run to!
Meet the beach. Its a sunny, warm place that welcomes you with crashing waves, calming bird calls, and homeless people.


Another great thing about the beach, is that the sunsets are amazing! Especially on hot days like Saturday. Here is a glimpse of what Saturday evenings bike ride to Venice was like


Meet the Santa Monica Pier again:)
Last Monday my friends Scottie and Brenton came to visit from Corona, California! Here is our adventure:
We rode from my house to the Pier first
Then Headed to Venice
Note: Brenton stole that flag. Such a rebel
A firetruck was going through Venice? So random. They grabbed onto the truck and everyone thought they were really cool lol
We then went to Sunset Blvd.and I held hands with Matt Damon
Then we went to FHE (Family Home Evening, which is when families are together on Monday night and share a message about the gospel, then have a fun game or activity usually. In our case, we don't live with our families, so on monday night my singles ward (ages 18-31) get together. We played human battleship! All in all, it was a pretty good Monday!

I tried a few new places this week. Two I really loved. Millions of Milkshakes and Thai Boom!

Tonight for FHE we had a pie contest, so my friend Abby (she went to Paul Mitchell Salt Lake, saw Never say Never 3D the Extended version with me last week, lives 3 doors down, and we basically like all the same things) thought we should make one! We made an Oreo Pie (my mom used to make them when I was little) It basically is an oreo pie crust with 2 layers of Cookies and Creme icecream, crushed up oreos, and caramel. We thought we did a pretty good job
