I love crown braids. They look like they are hard to do but really they are SO EASY. And perfect when you decide washing your hair is just plain overrated. Because it totally is. Who even washes their hair anymore?? (jk guys I do, please be my friend still)
Anyways, IT IS FRIDAY. TGIF am I right? This week flew by for me (thank heavens). Which means only 7 more days till we go up to Utah. Mostly that trip is what I am living for because J & I get to visit my best friend, Shaney + her husband Christian. Seriously they are the best people.
Utah actually has seasons (because Arizona kind of skips seasons but it's cool) So like, fall will be nice to see and all the leaves and I'm sure I'll see a good handful of basic girls running around in boots and scarves with fresh pumpkin spice lattes in hand. I've never even had one before, I literally just googled how to spell latte.
In other news I just got these extensions and they are coming today and I can't even wait. I've heard soooooo many good things about Laced hair extensions!! You probably don't even care but I'm just soooo excited to get them, you don't even know!!
K I'll leave you with a funny work story. :)
So I'm a receptionist and I get a lot of random calls from solicitors trying to sell our company their services. Here's how it went:
*Phone rings*
Sales guy: Well hello! This is Dave with a company. How are you today!!!?
Me: I'm good thanks, how are you?
Sales guy: Well I, wow, I am so glad you asked that, you'd be surprised how rare it is for people to ask me that. I'm doing so great. Wow thank you so much for asking, so polite!!
*proceeds to try to sell me something our company doesn't need.*
*transfers him to someone else because he won't take no for an answer*
Literally 5 minutes later
*Phone rings*
Sales guy: Well hello! This is Dave with a company. How are you today!!!?
Me: Um I'm good thanks, how are you?
Sales guy: WOW. Well gosh, thank you so much for asking that! You'd be surprised how rare it is for people to ask me that. You are the *FIRST* one to even ask me that today! Thank you, wow, so polite!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*proceeds to try to sell me something our company doesn't need.*
Me: Um haha uh I think you just called here about 5 minutes ago actually, remember I transfered you to ****?"
Sales guy: Oh uh ya know what? Yeah, I do remember that! Your company must have multiple listings in the white pages, I'm sorry. You have a blessed day.
hahah so yeah. There you go! I promise I was polite when I told him he already called. I get calls like that a lot where people try to sweeten me up and act like we're pals before the try to hook and sink in some sale. It's great. And I really do like my job :) it makes for some entertaining stories!

I wish I could do this to my hair - looks so great!
ReplyDeleteThank you C! It's so much easier than you'd think!
DeleteHow about instead of me braiding my hair like yours, you just come and magically braid it for me?! Haha, it looks so pretty!
ReplyDeletehahah let's just have a night where we braid each other's hair and paint our nails and eat cookies :)
Deleteps thank you!!
Love the braids! So funny that the guy called you twice and said the exact same thing except didn't remember that he had already heard that question that day. Lol. You're too nice! I probably would have just hung up. Lol
ReplyDeleteThank you Alana!! haha yeah I was like uhh ok guy, you're not fooling me! You use the same line on EVERYONE apparently :) I always want to hang up on sale's people but can never bring myself to do it, ahhh!!
DeleteYou look so good in the crown braids. Wish I could pull it off. Ha ha, love that the guy have the same line when he called. Some people!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jess!! You could for sure pull it off lady! haha seriously that sales guy thought I was a fool ;)

Thank you Tamara!! They are so easy to do! I'll have to check out your blog :)
DeleteI wish I had enough hair for crown braids. I just don't have thick enough hair to do it! They are so pretty though. I'm so jealous of your extensions too, I have been pining for some for ages now (because of the before mentioned lack of hair). I can't wait to see what you think of them. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! You don't even need thick hair to do it I promise!! There's little tricks to make it appear thicker :) I've been wanting some clip ins for foreverrrrr and I finally just decided it was time! I'll let you know what I think! xo
DeleteSo pretty! I am such a dunce when it comes to braiding my own hair, wish I could pull this off!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday <3

haha k you are so nice, thank youuu!!! Your hair is already so thick and pretty, I am jealous of YOU!! yay for blog friends :) and still so jealous of your disney trip coming up!!!
DeleteYour hair looks amazing! I 100% agree, washing hair is sooooooooooooo overrated!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! hahah amen sista! washing hair is just a waste of time ;)
DeleteEffortlessly chic with that crown braid! I don't know how you have the patience for solicitors; I tend to say "no thank you, goodbye" every time haha.
ReplyDeleteThank youuu S!! haha I wish I were more forward and ended calls quicker! I always feel like I have to listen to their speal and just pretend like I care and ahhh. I need to work on that obviously haha
DeleteYour hair looks so pretty! I cracked up at the sales story! So funny.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! haha I had to keep myself from laughing when he called the SECOND time with the same lines!!
DeleteYour hair seriously always looks amazing. Every daaaay. Also I love that that guy was like, "You're the first person to ask me how I am!!!!" when you asked him minutes before. Hahaha. I used to cover the receptionist's breaks sometimes at work and would get some annoying calls. The worst was people who wouldn't take voicemail for an answer and would keep calling. I was like, "Yeah I can't make someone answer their phone."
ReplyDeleteThankkkkk youuu!!! seriously you're so nice! :) hahah seriously I was like um I LITERALLY just asked you that question like 5 minutes ago. K you get me!! haha people hate voicemail! They get all mad and call back "he didn't answer!!" and I'm like "maybe he saw your name on caller ID" kidding,.. but for reals I can't make people answer their phones!! haha! happy Friday!! xo
DeleteOh I love this!!! :) Your hair is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jen!!! :)
DeleteI love how loose your crown braid is! Makes it look so perfect!
ReplyDeleteAwh thank you, Sam!! It makes dirty hair days a little better :)
DeleteSimply beautiful!

Thank you Shell!!!
DeleteYour hair looks so pretty like this! Posts like this make me miss my long hair.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a receptionist at my job but I'm usually the first person to answer the phone and I get to deal with people like this a bunch too! It's so annoying when they won't take no for an answer! That's a really funny story though! How embarrassed he must have been! Especially after telling you the second time around that you were the first person to ask how he was! Haha.
Thank you!!! My hair is actually just past my shoulders, I just have to braid a little higher to make it work! :) That's awesome!! You totally know what I deal when then haha seriously sales people are so funny when they call. When he said it was the FIRST person to ask him that I couldn't help but laugh a little on the phone :) oops!
DeleteWow those braids look so good! I wish my fingers weren't idiots and could actually do that!!!
ReplyDeleteHttp://www.aslifegrows.com
hahaha you are so nice!! Trust me, it takes a couple times to get them to look how I like :)
DeleteThe best part about answering phones is the stories that come along with it!! Lololol
ReplyDeletehahah I totally agree! So many interesting people call here :)
DeleteI love your hair!!! I can't ever get my hair to look like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd that call sounds hilarious. I really dislike when people butter me up to get me to buy something. Just tell me what you want to buy
liz jo @ sundays with sophie
Thank you!! Oh girl I bet you would look gorgeous with a crown braid!!
DeleteOh I agree, when people are trying sooo hard to sell stuff, it's so obvious!
I can't believe he called twice and tried to use the same script on you! haha! I have been practising my crown braids but am finding them a little tricky. I'll keep at it though because they are so cute!
ReplyDeletehaha Right?!! I thought it was pretty funny :) I bet you look so cute with a crown braid!! They are kinda tricky (especially with my short hair) just takes me a few times to get it just right!
DeleteLOL I can't believe he called twice. That's hilarious. Love your hair!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! haha yeah seriously, I thought it was pretty funny :)
DeleteAwww...that must have just made that guy's day that somebody asked how he was doing twice. Those braids are so lovely, Candace. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletehaha I'm not sure if maybe he just said that to everyone no matter what or if he really was happy I asked how his day was, seemed pretty scripted ;) and thank you!! You are so sweet!
DeleteLOVING your hair! And too funny about that guy!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! haha yeah gotta loveeee those solicitors!
Deleteyou are gorgeous beyond words!! and i love that he called back--too hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elle!! haha it was pretty funny! (to me :) )
DeleteYou seriously crack me up! I only wash my hair every few days, so I think it's totally acceptable what you said at the beginning of this post. :) Hooray for hair extensions, I can't wait to see yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elle!! haha it was pretty funny! (to me :) )
DeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, that phone story is hilarious! It's good you were still nice to him. I imagine it'd be easy to just roll your eyes and be like "dude, seriously, you just called here." ;)
Thank you, Rach!!! oh I WANTED to but "customer service" or something stopped me haha ;) Solicitors are so funny and salsey when they call here!
DeleteYou are beautiful and your hair is really pretty! Nice post!
