The Nail Files

Please excuse the nasty polish on my skin, I didn't clean it up yet!

This is OPI's You Don't Know Jacques with Hardy Candy Matte Top Coat. I just got this OPI polish and it is a lot more sheer then I thought it would be, it took 3 coats to get it opaque.

WWTK Would You Rather?

{one} WYR...Never be able to look in the mirror again or always get dressed in total darkness?

Get dressed in total darkness, I already do it sometimes anyways and I don’t have that many clothes to make horrid fashion choices!

{two} WYR...Receive $50 a day for the rest of your life or $50,000 right here and now?

$50 a day, I have no saving skills and this way I’d always have something for gas/food/shopping!

{three} WYR...Have extreme narcolepsy or have a bad case of tourette's?

Tough one, I guess narcolepsy, I like sleeping, just I would like to make sure I never drive I would hate to hurt someone by sleeping while driving.

{four} WYR...Be able to rewind 24 hrs 3 times a year or consciously control your dreams?

Rewind, I’d like to be able to replay some days and fix others.

{five} WYR...Be fluent in every language around the world or be the best in the world in a category of your choosing?

Considering how much of an issue I’ve had with Spanish, I am going to say be fluent in every language, I would much rather be able to talk/listen then have bragging rights.

90 Day Weight Loss Challenge

As some of you know I have been attempting to lose weight recently, I have even been insane enough to post my actual weight online. I was contacted by Creative Bioscience and given the opportunity to try a 90 day supply of one of their products.

Creative Bioscience has a ton of different types of products designed in helping people with their goals. Because I was sponsored by them to try any product for 90 days I went onto their site and did a lot of research until I found Diet 1234. 

I plan on trying to update you all at least once a week on my health/diet/workouts so I figured that the 90 day challenge would be a wonderful opportunity.

Plus they still have some spots open.  If you would be interested in joining the 90 day challenge just click this link and sign up! 

They also have a blog if you want to look at that!

I promise to keep you all updated and let you know how this product works honestly!

Birchbox Brag August 2012

Yes it is that time again! Time for the Birchbox brag! What is Birchbox? It is a subscription service (like a magazine) where you pay $10 a month and can get 4-6 beauty samples delivered to you! And I have been a Birchbox member for almost 2 years now, and still like it!

August’s theme was Beauty School, the only sad thing was one of my products leaked (see the funny shaped orange-red stain above?)

 

I got 4.5 oz. of this product! That’s an insane amount of cleanser for a sample and so far I love it! According to the Birchbox site,

“Even when you don’t have blemishes, there are other complexion nuisances to deal with—namely, sun spots, acne scars, and age spots. Instead of just concealing them, call in this gentle gel cleanser. Developed by a leading dermatologist, the targeted formula uses a team of natural skin brighteners, including licorice root and mulberry bark, to even out your complexion and lighten discolorations. Over time, you’ll have noticeably smoother, brighter skin. Now you just need to hold up your end of the bargain by using it every day. “

Then the beauty extra was a Schick Hydro Silk Razor, I can always use a new razor so this was a plus for me!  They say: “The Schick Hydro Silk Razor is our latest Birchbox Find. Thanks to this innovative new razor, we’ll be showing off our legs all season long. It has a water-activated moisturizing serum that moisturizes for up to two hours after shaving. Plus, the five blades have skin guards that follow the natural contours of your body to smooth skin and help prevent irritation. The result: silky legs, every time.”

 

Then I got these Nail polish touch up q-tips, I am always changing my polish colors so these will come in handy.

They site says: “While we love attempting the latest nail art designs and doing our own it-color manicures, we’ve have our fair share of polish mishaps. That’s where these genius precision swabs come in. They’re pre-filled with a polish remover formula to help you erase goof-ups and get a salon-precise mani. Each 24-pack will last you for months—as long as you don’t give into the temptation to switch up your nail design every other day (hey, we’re guilty of it too). “

Then I got a sample of the new Viva La Juicy perfume, didn’t really like this one at all, but I have gotten a perfume I did like through them, so it’s hit and miss.

Finally I got the Whish Body butter, it smelled nice, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hey It’s Okay

 This week I am joining in with Hey It’s Okay againSo It’s Okay: To not watch the Olympics because you are sleeping, Plus NBC’s coverage is pretty cruddy anyways.  To have only read ONE of the 50 Shades books, and honestly not have been all that impressed… To still not be ready to move, even though it’s been pushed back and you know you should start getting ready now.  To wake up from a nightmare and finish it with a happy ending in your head so that you won’t dream it again.  To have not realized how shallow a person you were until you woke up from the nightmare. (in part of it I got a cut across my face, that left a scar, first thing I did was look in the mirror.)  To have not been drinking soda for almost a week until yesterday. To have renewed your obsession with tea.   What’s Okay for you this week?
