New Years Eve!


It's currently the morning of New Years Eve and although I would love to share my exciting plans with you guys, I have none! After working for half the day today, I plan on getting into my comfy clothes and parking my butt onto my couch for the night. Though I do want to share with you all some of the things that I am going to attempt and hoping to achieve for the new year! First off, one of my goals is to make sure I blog at least once a week. Currently I am on winter break from school but starting January 12th, it's back on again. This is always an energy drainer for me but that brings me to my next goal. Secondly, I have one word, ORGANIZATION! This has been one of my biggest things that I have been horribly failing at and have never been too organized in my life, ever, actually. But the end of this year has brought the joy of moving to me, which I don't want to do again for a long time!, so that was a big obstacle for me. Third, well this one requires the boyfriend and I to actually go get our ID cards for our community center but after that, it's getting back into the gym! I had a good few months where I was going to the gym twice a week and eating better than I am right now but then, of course, school started again and I was beyond wiped out and exhausted that I stopped going. Hopefully now that I have a partner-in-crime my butt will be in the gym more even with school going on. Fourth, but of course not the completely last goal..for now, is to stop being lazy and start getting myself going on trying to get myself further into my career. I mean I won't be done with school completely for at least another 4 years but my one program will, hopefully, be done soon and I need to start getting myself out there. This means stop hesitating to send emails out to professors asking them questions about what I am supposed to do and stop expecting things to come my way because, clearly, they still haven't. So far these are some of the goals I have for the year and I'm going to take them one step at a time. This probably means Pinterest because who doesn't love Pinterest and there are so many great pins that are really helpful. NOW, I want to hear from YOU about some of the goals you have for this new year. You can leave them in the comments below, Tweet at me, Instagram me, email me, whatever is easiest for you! See you guys next year!

Pink Pewter

Hey guys! So today I'm coming at you with a post NOT about nail polish but I'm going to assume that's okay with you guys, yeah? Anyways, I have discovered another new love thanks to my lovely best friend Jacquelyn Marie! (You can also find her on Twitter!) It has been a few years that I've thought that no-slip grip headbands had been the only thing that would work for me as far as headbands go. Well I have been proven wrong by headbands by the amazing Pink Pewter. Now I would like to say that for those who have known me for years know that I am not that girly when it comes to accessorizing. I wear some rings sometimes, maybe a necklace every now and then, can't wear any fancy earrings (stretched ear lobes!), and bracelets....yeah well they just won't fit my small wrists.

I now feel the need to start a whole new paragraph on talking about how much I am in love with Pink Pewter. First I'd like to mention the fact that I am pretty cheap when it comes to a lot of things but when it comes to things that I am going to use numerous times and are going to benefit me positively, yes I will spend the money. Pink Pewter headbands are hand beaded and are better than ponytails for your hair along with the fact that there are a handful of different ways that they can be worn. I purchased my Sheridan headband in black from my favorite salon Bii Hair Salon on Friday, November 7th, attempted it on Saturday, and then Monday through Friday of this week, wore it every day. Besides me playing with it a million and one times more than I should have, wherever I placed the headband on my head, it STAYED there literally ALL DAY LONG! Now for any of you who have tried these "no-slip grip" headbands know that doesn't happen ever. I am also not very hair savvy either so sometimes the stretch part did move a bit but I'm pretty sure that's just because I don't know how to do much of anything with my hair besides blow dry, straighten, and tie knots in it (yes you read that right!) Phew! That's a long paragraph! The only problem I seemed to have with the headband was a small conflict with my glasses on the side of my head but other than that, I literally had absolutely no problem with my headband and also got a handful of comments!

Alright now onto the photos I took during the week of me with my lovely headband on!








That now concludes this post and I really hope that you guys enjoyed it! Please visit the Pink Pewter website and if you guys purchase and use the headbands, please let me know! I would love to hear what you guys think about them and I'm hoping they give you a fabulous experience like the one I had! Now I need to go on a spree to expand by Pink Pewter collection, bye! <3

VIP Status by L'Oreal

One of the things that I like about "VIP Status" is that it can look gray in the bottle but in the photos I took and the sunlight outside, it looks more like a light, metallic blue. I don't own too many L'Oreal nail polishes but I do really like this one and just the way it looks in the bottle intrigues you. It also has a nice sparkle to it that I always forget it has but is great in the sunlight outside. Unfortunately I was not able to take any sunlight pictures when I had this color on but next I will do my best to remember!

Berry Blue by Barielle

You know when you have one of those days where you're just in the mood to wear a nice, dark, sleek nail polish color? Yeah I definitely had that day when I decided to put on "Berry Blue" by Barielle. I've had this nail polish for a while and it's just been sitting in my helmer sadly being forgotten about so I pulled it out and put it on! I'm pretty happy that I took this one out of hiding to use since it's such a dark blue and looks really nice on especially during the fall season.
