31 Day Nail Challenge Day 4: Green

Hello, lovelies. Today's nail challenge is GREEN. Nail challenge here. Personally, I think today's design was a little holiday-ish. But I really adore the hunter green that adorns my nails. Take a look for yourself~

New Blog Title... What??

Yes, it's true. I have a new blog title. And URL. And it's pretty great. I'm sorry for all of you faithful readers that have read my blog, but I'm thinking of making my blog a little more fancy-schmancy, if you know what I mean. I'm sorry it was kind of a last minute thing, but I think it's for the better. ;)

Pinterest Picks of the Month: Chianti EVERYTHING.

Fall is officially here, and so I wanted to celebrate with a few Pinterest picks! (: Last time, my other PPotM was actually pretty popular, so we'll see how this series spins out.

The theme of this month is chianti, oxblood, burgundy, whatever you want to call it! That was the IT color of the season, and I wanted to showcase its loveliness. It's really a gorgeous color you can pair with black or brown. Or really any other color actually. Anyway, keep on reading through my rambles!

The above picture is one of my favorites that I've managed to find on Pinterest. Oxblood is so versatile, and it can be used casually or at a formal event. Either way, it looks gorgeous.

31 Day Nail Challenge Day 3: Yellow

Hello, lovlies! Don't my nails inspire sunshine into your lives? If not... They make my happy, okay? Just.. deal. 

For today's challenge, I did a kind of gradient/glitter/flowery look. I just wanted to do something happy with yellow. (: Because yellow always kind of reminds me of pee. -_-

For the full challenge, look no further than here. It's fun stuff, you should keep following my progress if you're interested. 

Anyway, keep reading for more pictures and info, if you want no more, click away on the rest of my blog. ;)

31 Day Nail Challenge Day 2: Orange



Hello, lovelies. It's an icky day in Washington State today. I wish we had summer sun still. But that's kinda a huge feat for the clouds that hang over WA.

Anyhoo, I've finally got up to painting my nails! And let me warn you, they aren't a pure shade of orange and that is for a few reasons:
1. I didn't really have many oranges to choose from, I mean come on!
2. Girrl, would you put pure orange/pumpkin barf on your nails? I don't think so.

So I kinda stretched the rules a bit and went with a dominantly orangey-coral. And a few more pops of orange. Oh, and if you have no flippin' IDEA what I'm talking about, then mozey on over here! Then life shall be simpler. For more pictures read on!

Yeah, I got impatient with the scotch tape..

I didn't actually particularly like this day, just because orange is a hard color to work with. I'm really excited for Day 3, which is orange! (:

Thanks for reading, read some more while you're here, alrighty?

Exfoliation: Is It Essential?

(image)



Let's be honest, how many ladies really exfoliate either their faces, bodies, or both? I for one, didn't learn what exfoliation meant until about last year. But ever since, I think my skin has looked clearer and better. So what is this big word, exfoliation? Read on to find out more.

At the 2012 Emmy's: Orange and Yellow.

Leslie Mann in Naeem Khan

Haha, that's funny. Because my next post soon will be about orange, too.

Anyhoo! I was watching the Emmy's last night, and I saw so many gorgeous draping and tight dresses alike. But one thing I saw so frequently was the orange dresses. Every shade of orange, but just so much!! My eyes were blinded. I think the stylists are trying to say, Dahling, citrus is the new black.

I don't know about you, but I'm hesitant about hopping on the Citrus train.
