DIY Gel Nails
You have heard me talk of my love/hate relationship for gel nails before HERE. Well, miss mini-me who is into beauty not long ago purchased this little system by Sally Hansen at the drugstore... and she had a revelation that it can be used on regular nail polish. So I thought lemme give it a try! Here's what I used from the kit and NOT from the kit... The Sally Hansen light, the Sally Hansen top coat. The base … [Read more...]
Low Pony
Having long hair, I'm always messing with it when it gets on my nerves, especially when I have 2nd day hair. I think most busy women that I know won't wash it every single day (unless.I have sweat profusely which doesn't happen or go somewhere that makes it wreak awful like the fair, which that doesn't happen often either). So lately, I've been wearing my hair like this, although the whole bang thing is a bugger... and being that I have these … [Read more...]
Real Beauty
Seriously, if you have just a few minutes, you really ought to take a look at this. Get ready to be moved. http://youtu.be/XpaOjMXyJGk See, here's the deal. I've ALWAYS had issues like these. I can't say I don't still. I think that's why it has taken me so long to begin doing fashion posts (of myself), and I still am quite uncomfortable doing them because of my fear of how I think I look for the most part. But I'm slowly … [Read more...]

My boyfriend Marc.... pailette embellished stam (see the gold in there, … [Read more...]
Natural Nail Dilemma
One thing I've been blessed with most of my life is healthy strong nails. Never had I had to wear artificial nails, wraps, tips, or anything like that of the sort... well, with the exception of the time that forced me to use press on. Yes. I did say PRESS ON.

Fabulousness on Friday, Five of them

Ombre Hair
I know you've seen these locks around. Ombre is SO hot right now from clothing to nails and of course the obvious, hair. I personally LOVE it. My thought is that it looks better lightly tousled like these images versus all straight. Sometimes if the ombre color is too severe, I'm not quite the fan just because I think it can make the hair look dirty. But I love the look of that gradual dark to blonde. Love love love … [Read more...]
Guacamole Sisterhood
I hardly ever talk about what I do for a job, but after tonight's meeting, I couldn't help but share what a great environment I'm in and a part of. Tonight I had the pleasure of getting together with the ladies that I work with. We've known each other for about 7 years are like family. The "feeling" of work is the farthest thing from our minds when we're together. Our "work" lifts us up and supports and nurtures. It's non-competitive, … [Read more...]
