The Nail Files

Hi there...it's me, Kari.  I know I've been a bad blogger this week but I have a good reason...GARAGE SALE!!  Last weekend, I spent the entire weekend in Geronimo (the *very* small town where I'm from) working on getting ready for our yearly family garage sale with my mom and working on ancestry stuff with my aunts.  Note to self:  Blog about my ancestry stuff because I just know you ALL want to know!! :)

Anywho, this week, I've been keeping my house clean, doing laundry, and let's be honest...being lazy, because I know this coming weekend is about to be crazy with our garage sale and there will be no laziness in my life!!

But I wanted to post about my new nail polish!!  I made a trip to Ulta for their 21 Days of Beauty to pick up some Butter nail polish.  I had never tried it and they had it for Buy 1, Get 1 Free so I decided to splurge :)
I got Yummy Mummy and Rosie Lee.  I used two coats of the Yummy Mummy and 3 coats of Rosie Lee as the glitter accent.  I ♥ this glitter...I may need to pick up some more colors but I will have to wait for another sale.


I'm linking this post up with Tara at Fabulous But Evil ...go check her out and all the other fun nail polish posts!



And just a side note in case you didn't notice...I have 24 followers!!  I know, most of you have hundreds or thousands, but I am so excited that I have to click "more" to see all of followers!  Thank you all :)

    I stayed away from the Ulta sale, but I wish I didn't, those colors are gorgeous!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture but I was more focused on getting some makeup on my fac

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people.  Ok, maybe it's not t
