1/21/2013 Mani of the Week

I'm loving this purple! It's slightly metallic, so I did my ring fingers in a light silver with 
silver glitter over it.


If you'd like to know the exact colors I used, please post a comment below.

1/13/2013 Mani of the Week

For this week's mani I used nails inc. polish that my husband got me for the holidays. He got me two sets of minis...the Neon & Nude Collection and the Autumn Winter Collection. I can't wait to try them all!!

I love doing an accent nail, so this week I did both ring fingers. To get this design, I used craft paint in two colors, different sized dotting tools and topped it with Luxe & Lush by China Glaze. The colors used were inspired by one of my sweaters.

1/4/2013 Mani of the Week

I've been so excited to use this pretty blue polish! The main color is Cinderella. I then used two glitter polishes, Queen of Beauty and Frenzy, on my ring fingers. Cinderella is an icy, light blue with a subtle shimmer. Queen of Beauty is silver glitter, and Frenzy is a pretty combination of purple and light 
blue glitter.



Pastels are going to be hot this Spring, so this icy blue will still be on trend. Here's a pic of all three Sinful Colors polishes.

Special Edition: Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012 Review

I recently received the 2012 Holiday VoxBox from Influenster full of items for review. Here's a pic of the swag.


The Goody Quikstyle Brush Half Round Styler looked so interesting that I had to try it first. With the microfiber in it, I really thought it would give my hair a lot of static. It didn't. I actually liked it. It didn't break my hair and grabbed it with enough tension to straighten it while drying. Being that I don't always flat iron my hair, I love a good blowout. This brush helped dry my hair a little faster and helped style it. I like that I can get good results without using a metal brush. After using it, the microfiber dried quickly too. If you have long hair that takes a long time to dry, I recommend giving this brush a try. 

I'm all about eating healthy carbs, and I LOVE oatmeal.  I always have a large cylinder of Quaker Oats in my pantry, so I was excited to try the Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal. I received the Cherry Pistachio flavor.  It was delicious!! If you're trying to get your kids to eat healthy, sneak this into their diets for breakfast. It's chewy, crunchy and sweet. If you're an adult watching your weight, I recommend the original Quaker Oats and adding fresh berries and cinnamon to it. Real Medleys is 290 calories for 1/2 cup and has added brown sugar.  With the original, you control the sugar and is only 150 per 1/2 cup. 

I love trying new lip products! I had the opportunity to try a NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in a pretty nude color called Nude York City. It lives up to its claims. It's not sticky and leaves my lips really soft. Nude York City is a sparkly nude. First my first wearing I wore it alone and could feel it on my lips for a few hours, but I couldn't see much of the color. I'm curious to try darker colors to see if they last longer. It also had a nice scent and didn't migrate. It's a keeper!

Sole Society is an online shoe store that has some really cool styles. My biggest problem is that I like so many of their styles that I can't decide which ones to order! They included an offer for $25 off my first purchase. The best part of this offer is that I'm allowed to share it with my friends!! If you're interested, please let me know. I love to share! 

Stay tuned, because I have three products left to try and review. Also included in the VoxBox are EBOOST, Kiss Nail Dress and a Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask.

I also want to wish you all a very happy new year!! I hope the coming year is better than the last. May you find all that you're looking for. My goal for this year to continue to focus on the positive and be the best me I can be. xo
