Nail Files: Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength: Save the Date (on my nails AND the cuticles around my nails ... I like to match like that)  I need to stop painting my nails while watching tv!

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength nail polish is one of my FAVE FAVE FAVE lines!  It keeps my nails seriously strong - which is what I need because my nails break, crack, split...all of the bad things nail can do, mine do.  This is the only polish I've ever used that really really works to make my nails strong and actually grow.  I LOVE it. 

Now for a funny story I know you are all just dying to hear!  :)

  The first Christmas David and I lived together (before he popped the question), I opened my stocking and inside were 4 Diamond Strength nail polishes (he did listen when I raved about it!).  The names of the polishes were as follows: 24 Karat, Honeymoon Red, Diamonds, and Forever Lilac.  



Let's back up to when I was a little girl and every girl dreams of meeting her prince charming and getting proposed to.  Fast forward twenty something years to that Christmas morning and I just KNEW I would be getting a ring that Christmas.  I thought the "DIAMOND" nail polish and the names of the polishes were hints of what was about to happen.  BOY, was I WRONG!!!  What a TEASE!  That was just wrong, David...so very very wrong!  It didn't happen that morning...BUT, two months later, he made up for it!  Read about the engagement here :)

    I need to try this brand! My nails have been peeling like crazy lately. That is a cruel, cruel joke David played on you! But at least he got you some nail polish. Haha! My husband wouldn't even know how.

    Awwww I'm glad he made up for it! I actually thought my husband was playing a trick on me with an empty ring box on Christmas a few years ago - because that's totally something he would do! It was real but it took me a minute! lol

    Funny that you posted about this because a friend just sent me one of the Diamond polishes! I'm excited to try it now!

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
