I just realized I never blogged about our September Vegas vacation. We stayed at a ridiculously beautiful hotel, Aria. It’s brand new and located at the Las Vegas City Center near Bellagio. I HIGHLY recommend it! Our room was just stunning. They put a big touch-screen remote control by your bed that lets you control the TV, curtains, temperature, lights, music, etc. The TV says your name on the screen too lol. OH and when you walk into the room for the first time after checking in, you open the door and the curtains automatically open, the lights turn on, the TV comes on and music starts playing LOL it’s a trip! If I could envision what sleeping on an orgasm would feel like, this bed was exactly that. Literally THE softest, plushest bed I’ve ever slept in. Oh and thre is a mini fridge with a $20 “romance kit” that includes 2 condoms, lube and moist towelettes lmao. 

While we were in Las Vegas we went on another one of those horrible time share presentations to get discounted show tickets. We did it last year and I don’t remember it being as bad.. it was BAD this time. They really try to guilt you into buying that shit. Anyhoo, we got some Criss Angel show tickets for taking the tour. If any of you are planning a Vegas trip anytime soon, please skip this show. It was so incredbly NOT worth it. We saw Lance Burton’s show at the Monte Carlo last year and it was 1831093x better. He drove a freaking car over the audience at the end for Christs’ sake. All Criss Angel did was disappear 40 times and fly some doves around the theatre.

We had better gambling luck last year too. I think we paid for the entire trip and then some. Yeah not so much this time lol Mike immediately lost $600 the first day and then decided he wasn’t gambling anymore the rest of the trip HAHA poor guy. But seriously I couldn’t win anything on the slots either! Last year I couldn’t LOSE. Booo. On our last day there we went to the PAWN STARS store which was awesome. Pics below! We went Labor Day weekend which was definitely not the best idea.. I’ll never be traveling on a holiday weekend ever again in my life lol. The plane was completely packed both ways.. so annoying I hate that. There is no point in getting there early to find a good seat when some stinky a-hole is forced to sit next to you anyways.

All in all it was a good trip. We went with some friends this time so that was fun. Pics below.. ciao!

As each year went by, things looked better and better financially. I started selling my web design services along with getting consistant pay increases at my entry level office job. Everytime I would go online and lookup my free credit score, the number would be higher and higher.

My boyfriend and I stayed in a little 2 bedroom apartment in the ghetto of Tucson for years while we saved enough for a house. But eventually, moving day came. And it couldn’t have come fast enough. Living in a seedy area of town was definitely affordable, but it can diminish your quality of life.

Now looking forward five years, I am wondering how the real estate market will be. Better? Worse? Can it get worse?

I became a homeowner in March! I was able to tax advantage of the $8,000 tax credit and get into a gorgeous brand-new-never-lived-in house on a beautiful side of town. I’ve never felt so lucky, honestly.

I had been living in a fourplex for the past 4 years, which I used to really like. It was a nice apartment but in a horrible area. The straw that broke the camel’s back was a shooting that happened in front of my doorstep. I was outside with my dog and noticed a car full of people at the end of our driveway… and they were just staring at me. I had become so cold to all the suspicious activity from living in the neighborhood for so long that I didn’t really thing twice about it. I take my dog inside and 5 minutes later, gunshots. Someone from the car had broken into the apartment directly facing mine, literally a few feet away, and they exchanged gunfire. Both the intruder and my neighbor both shot each other. My neighbor was taking a shower with his gun when the guy broke in (to collect a drug debt), so obviously he knew it was coming. One of them crawled out of the apartment on his elbows and laid in the driveway, pooling blood, while the other laid shot in the shower. It was a crazy thing to see. And knowing that I was outside just seconds before it happened was enough for me to give my 30 days notice to my landlord the next morning.

So the move was the most major thing that’s happened this year. In June I got “promoted” at work, so I’ve been adjusting to my new position. I’m now responsible for the bookkeeping and accounting, which was a completely new thing for me. Math has never been my forte, so it’s been a learning experience for sure. I like it though. I was ready for the challenge. 

Other then that I’ve just been working on getting moved in. Yeah, I technically moved in 5 months ago, but I’m still not unpacked! Shopping for house stuff is so fun too. Now I walk through Home Depot with a purpose LOL. We just finished landscaping the backyard. My boyfriend owns a landscaping company so that was convenient They installed irrigation and hauled 22 tons of decorative rock! We went and picked out an apple tree, two pomegranate trees and a tangelo tree to plant. The tangelo tree is so special to me because my grandparents had tangelo trees too. One of my favorite memories as a child is picking tangelos with my grandma. Everytime I look at my own tangelo tree I think of them. It’s my way of always keeping them close to my heart and that is really a priceless gift for me.

I’m still doing web design, and more importantly, still loving it! I’m a busy girl but I wouln’t want it any other way. Man, I miss blogging here

Honestly, my hair has ALWAYS been long (ever since I can remember) so I am just programmed to take care of it properly. Well I’m assuming what I do is “proper” considering it stays in pretty good health all year round So considering I have never had hair above my shoulders, I can’t really compare what it’s like caring for long vs. short. But I would imagine that the way you care for your hair depends more on the TYPE of hair you have rather than length. Obviously if you have chin-length, super curly tendrils all over your head that is far more work that having ass-length straight hair.

SO… onward to my list of hair tricks and tips that has kept my very long hair in very healthy condition over the years!

1. Avoid sulfates!!!!!! I can’t stress enough the importance of using sulfate-free shampoo! I have been sulfate-free for about three years now and my hair has never looked better. Sulfates are a harsh detergent chemical that can cause hair thinning, folicle damage and even CANCER. Look for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate or Sodium Ammonium Sulfate (anything that says Sulfate) on the top of the ingredients list on your shampoo bottle. You can get sulfate-free shampoo anywhere these days… Walgreens, Walmart, CVS and of course beauty stores. Some of my favorite brands are RenPure and Organix.
2. Immediately follow your shampoo with your conditioner, but don’t rinse. Massage the conditioner in from root to tip for a couple minutes, use a little water to help you distribute the conditioner, and leave it in for the remainder of your shower. The very LAST step before you get out should be to rinse. This allows the conditioner enough time to penetrate the hair shaft. If you are worried about getting conditioner in your eyes, pickup some shower caps from the dollar store and wear it over your conditioned head while you finish your shower.
3. Don’t wash your hair with super hot water. I know it’s tempting because it feels so good, but your hair will do much better in cooler water. The cooler the water, the shinier and less frizzy the hair shaft
4. Always use a leave-in conditioner, at least on your ends. I have fine hair so it doesn’t take much product to make my hair look greasy, so I’ve mastered the technique of leave-in conditioner. Start with towel dried hair. I use a quarter-sized glob and work from the bottom up. Make sure your ends are really saturated and then move up your length. Whatever conditioner I have remaining on my hands (which usually isn’t much) by the time I get to my scalp, is what I use for the top of my hair. I like to make sure I get my part where the frizzies pop up. I like all of Wen’s cleansing conditioners as leave-ins (but I don’t really like them as a shampoo/conditioner substitute… just as a leave-in) and SunSilk makes pretty nice leave-ins too.
5. If you can, air dry. I have naturally straight hair so skipping the blow dryer isn’t a problem for me. But if you have waves or curls, work with your natural texture and skip the hot tools 3 or 4 times a week, your hair will thank you for it.
6. Again, if you can, only wash your hair every other day. The natural oils that your scalp produces are really good for your hair shaft. I personally have to wash my hair pretty much every day because it’s fine and blonde, so you can really notice when it’s dirty. But if you have darker hair and can pull off a pony tail, go for it!

That’s all I’ve got. I hope this was a useful read for you and your hair Feel free to leave your hair tips in the comments!

He is soooooo freaking cute. I am absolutely in love with the little guy. Well, not that little. He is only 4 months and already weighs 50+ pounds lol. He is very well behaved, especially for a puppy. We have him in puppy training right now but all he wants to do is play during class lol. Check out the pictures of my handome boy!

We sat through a GOD AWFUL timeshare presentation to get some cheap show tickets lol. We saw Carrot Top, he is funny as hell. And at the very end he comes out almost naked, his body is fucking KILLER! But his face.. ehh.. that’s another story. I’d fuck him with a bag over his head though for sure. We also saw this show called Fantasy which has about 15 topless chicks dancing around for 2 hours. It was decent. Then we saw Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo who is a magician. Even though we had shitty balcony seats the show was pretty sweet. I wanted to see Cris Angel but he was on vacation the week we went

Another thing we got for sitting through the timeshare bullshit was a bunch of free passes to the hotel buffets. If you value your life.. please take my advice and stay AWAY from the Excalibur buffet. O M F G. It’s like $25 for the entire day and to be honest, I would have rather eaten dirty cigarrette butts from the sidewalk for lunch. The only thing edible was a pile of bananas. The next day we did the Luxor buffet which was a huge upgrade. But I’m not really a buffet person, I have never left any buffet thinking “WOW THAT WAS SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS I MUST EAT THERE AGAIN” so ya know. The last day we went to the MGM buffet which had all-you-can-eat crab legs. That made it worth it to me. But it was like $35 per person, so for two people after tax you’re looking at $70+ for a BUFFET dinner lol.

Let’s see.. we also saw the Bodies exhibit and the Titanic exhibit. Both were very cool. The bodies exhibit is a huge maze full of cadavers all cut up so you can see the human organs, bones, muscles, etc. The titanic exhibit was pretty much amazing. There are hundreds of artifacts displayed that were recovered from the ship. They also setup replicas of the rooms for 1st class, 2nd class and 3rd class. Before you enter, they give you a card with the name and story of one of the passengers and you find out at the end of the exhibit if you lived or died. It was very touching, I cried like a bitch

Oh and did you know Vegas has an entire 2 miles of road dedicated to bums? It’s pretty strange. We were just driving around downtown and all the sudden we see miles of tents setup alongside a chainlink fence. Some weren’t even tents, just a few bedsheets tied together like a fort. Poor Vegas bum village.

Anyways, I think it was a successful vacation. Make sure to check out my awesome photography depicting the above events

I purchased this website in November of 2004. No, you will not find any dirty/nude/skanky content here. I apologize if my domain name gave you the wrong impression, but this is a blog website. Always has been and always will be. Bad-Behavior.com holds a special little place in my heart, as it was my first real project. As I have grown as a web designer, this website has grown with me.

So now a little about me. As I stated above, my name is Chelsey. Most of my friends simply call me Chels. I was born into this world on November 23rd, 1984 making me 24 years old. Tucson Arizona has forever been the place I call home. This really is an amazing city. I have traveled to 12 different states over the course of my life and nothing, in my opinion, can compare to Tucson. The mountains, the sunsets, the monsoons.. Tucson just encompasses everything that makes you appreciate life a little more.

I have two jobs, which I love, but only one do I consider my career. I have worked as an office manager for a little real estate appraisal firm for the past five years. Real estate has always interested me, probably because my grandparents were realtors and always took me to work with them to be their little helper. My other job title is a freelance web designer. I started doing freelance web work in 2005 and keep a current portfolio at my design website, www.Chels.net. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing organizations, businesses and individuals. Web design is something I truley enjoy doing and consider it to be my passion.

Now let’s talk about family. I used to consider myself to have an incredibly large, loving family. That is definitely not the case anymore. Feel free to read my blog archives from 2005 to get the whole story. The only family member who I am super close with is my dad. I don’t have any substantial relationship with my mother. I have a little brother and sister who I used to be extremely close with, but certain events caused us to devistatingly drift apart. I still love them more than life.

Moving on! I am the epitome of a girly girl.  I have an incredible addiction to all things beauty and style. I have a plethra of makeup, hair products, nail polish, perfumes.. you name it and I’ve probably got it. I consider the front doors to Sephora to be my pearly gates to Heaven. One of my other addictions is Coach handbags and accessories. So far my Coach collection includes: 6 large purses, 6 matching wallets, 2 wristlets, 2 key fobs, and 1 pair of eyeglasses. Shopping is love!

I don’t know much about cars, but I know I love my car. It is a 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T with a V8 hemi. VROOM! I also have a 2000 Dodge Stratus, as that was my first car and I just couldn’t bear to part with it. I am sentimental like that. I, sadly, have sold my Dodge Stratus and replaced it with a Chrysler Sebring.

I consider my friends to be the most awesome people of all time. I can’t think of anywhere I would rather be than out with my friends, on a dance floor and with a drink in my hand. Our intoxicated nights out are definitely what keep me sane in this busy and sometimes drama-filled life.

Well, that pretty much sums up my website and myself. Hope you’ve enjoyed the read
