OPI Nail Polish!

I just recently purchased my first bottle of OPI nail polish. I'm hooked. This nail polish is seriously the best I have ever used, I understand now! Unfortunately the shade I bought( Coney Island Cotton Candy) is not as dark as I thought it would be. It will be a great understated light pink nail polish for the spring. Its still winter though, and for me this means deep shades- usually maroon or black. I already did maroon and now I want to try on black again, but this time with a twist. Katy Perry has designed a line of nail polish for my new favorite brand, OPI and she has introduced us to a new technique-shattered! There is a polish available in the Katy Perry OPI collection that when painted over any shade it creates a shattered/ leopard print type effect! After I'm done obsessing over my current shade I am going to pick up a bottle of OPI Black Shatter(at discount) and pair it with a bright shade. I think this is going to be amazing, there will be an update.

O, hey!

Hello!! I'm alive. I was sooo busy the end of this last semester at school and had no time for anything. My computer also had a virus and I was unable to really use it for a while. I am back though, for now until I get super busy again!! This coming semester I am taking 6 classes and then graduating, so I will also be on the hunt for jobs. O, and I still need to get my drivers license :/ lets not talk about that...Lets talk about some of my other problems, lets talk about lookbook. I am FRUSTRATED with you lookbook!!! I put so much time into doing my looks such as my most recent(seen with this post) and who hypes it? My boyfriend, thats it! I'm sick of the same people reigning over lookbook popularity and how unfair the website set up is! But you know WHAT!? I don't care, I'm gonna stop caring. I am awesome and hot and stylish and I know it. Thats all that matters right now. Sigh....I'm gonna go take some more lookbook pics.

LOOKBOOK

I just got a lookbook!! Please check out my looks, I hope you enjoy.

Engagement?...No I think not.

I'm here at my boyfriends house this week. Last night I decided to cook dinner for the family. I watch a lot of food network so I had a few ideas. His mom showed me the whole chicken she had in the freezer and I knew what I would make. I really enjoy watching Ina Garten, "Barefoot Contessa", who is often making chicken on her show, so I naturally took a recipe from her. I made her Engagement Roast Chicken, which had been renamed that after she was told by women that all worked in the same office, who when anyone made this for their boyfriend they were then engaged within 24 hours! I did not make this with the hopes of my boyfriend asking me to marry him though, I only made it to happily feed his family. It indeed came out good too(and it actually looked a lot like the picture!), for sides I made green beans and mashed cauliflower. This is a great meal for an averaged sized family but with the seven of us(4 of them boys!) the meat went fast. I will be making this again, maybe with some slight changes, and maybe next time I will actually be looking for that special question...

What remains is the future

I have been wanting to do this for a while, this is what I wore today! Navy "what remains is the future" Truely Madly Deeply tee from Urban Outfitters(tucked in a bit because its so long!), light destroyed denim shorts from Pac Sun, vintage hand-me-down belt from the 70's from my dad, purple checkered vans from Journey's, and the heart necklace was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend :) I also was wearing some lipstick, which is something I've been trying lately. Today in fact, I bought some more from Target, but was once again dissappointed as I was when I purchased some from there about a month ago. For the real good stuff I have learned to go to the department stores. The kind I wore today was a department store buy, and thats why I think its so good.

Summer Skin

I'm officially ready to move out of my parents house for the summer already! I can't wait to go back to school, who would ever think I would think that. Luckily my amazing boyfriend is coming this weekend to visit me and then to sweep me away back to his house near where I go to school and where many of my friends are nearby! I can't wait to see him and get a break from being home. Anyways, I've been trying out some new facial treatments lately to try to improve my skin and keep myself occupied. The first was a yogurt mask and the second was an aspirin mask. The yogurt one was....kinda gross haha, I think it helped to firm my face and maybe I'll try it again. The aspirin one is something that I have been wanting to try since I saw it on Youtube. I think this will become a weekly routine,because I liked it quite alot. It made my face very stiff when it was on, but when I washed it off my skin felt very soft and looked nice! If you have red, irritated skin or acne then this could be a helpful solution. Here is the link on youtube, which explains why and how to make the mask. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-Hksg8B4cQ

We don't care anymore...

So I've been thinking lately, I wish everyone cared how they looked as much as people do on TV and in Hollywood. Peoples casual attitude about life kinda depresses me. I remember looking at old pictures of my grandmother from back in the 50's and 60's and she always looked so fabulous! She always wore heels everyday with her perfectly matching and meticulously put together onsaumble. On more dressy occasions she even threw on her fur hat and shawl. Now I go to the store and people are wandering around in their PJ's looking like they escaped from the mental institution! Why!?!? ugg...these people make me feel so uncomfortable. I'm the girl who wants to dress up everywhere I go, even to Wal-Mart. I like to put together unique and fashion forward outfits, and wear 4 in. stilettos! I feel weird being so put together among the mental escapees though, because I look like the weird one, and I feel like people look at me and think I'm trying too hard. The truth is that I love fashion and I actually just care and want to look HOT! I really hope times change again and people, women in particular, begin to care once again. Then I will be able to look amazing, but not stick out like a sore thumb in my heels in Home Depot. haha.
