The HAUL

Good Morning Lovelies!

Today I figured I'd finally show you what I got while in Ohio!

But first I just wanted to note that the kitty picture from yesterday wasn't very good!  I took probably 2 to 3 dozen pictures trying to get a good one of the little sweeties eyes, and the only one that cameout was that one!  And sadly she looks like a little meanie in the pic!  She is such a sweetheart though!  Make me wanna keep her, but I'm afraid Macy would have a cow!  I'll try to take more pics here soon, to show you what a lover she is!

Also, Sadly I think this is gonna be the lats post for this week.  I haven't even put nails on yet, so I got nothing else to show you!  Lately, our gym time has been lacking, only actually making it down there 2 or 3 times a week!  We both know we just can't make progress with 2 to 3 1-hour sessions.  And we both have big plans for packing on more muscle and getting way stronger, and leaner in my case (Rob's got the metabolism of a humming bird, little snot can eat anything, as in 3 to 4 thousand calories a day and still have a 6 pack!).  We've done great so far this week, getting down there for a hard core Bench workout Sunday after we got back, and hitting Tri's, Bi's and Forearms for 2 and a half hours Monday!  Feels good to be so sore!  So I just am not sure at this point if I'll get my nails done before the weekend!  But I will be back Monday with something for you at least! 

On to the goodies!!!!

L to R:

Emerald Depths, Vintage Couture, Lightening Blue, Slamming Red

Bought at Forever 21, for $2.80!

Looks just like "Punk" from L.A. Girl Rockstar Collection!

Even the bottle is the same!

The purple color shift does show up on the nail!  YAY!

L to R:  Tapping Nails, Bali Mist, Let Me Go

Closer look at "Let Me Go"

WAY prettier in reality!

pink toned lavender with blue, green, and gold color shift shimmer

Closer look at "Bali Mist"

Again, pic just doesn't do it justice!

berry color with darker wine/purple undertones and gold and green color shift shimmer

L to R: Irish Green (neon grass green), Happy Ending, and Green Ocean (which I got 2 of!)

My only regret was not going to another Meijer to look for the Massini spring collection :(

But I am quite happy with all I got!

I got big plans for alot of these, including a layered look that makes a color I've been searching everywhere for!

That's it for today....maybe even the week!

If I don't see ya, dont just have a great day, have a fantastic rest of the week and weekend!

Manis, Scenery, and Randomness

Good Morning Lovelies!

Today's post is a mash up of lots of random bits!

First, I'll show you the many I wore for the Arnold!  Obviously, I wasn't going with a pink, flowery mani.  It had to be tough!

I started out with 1 coat of China Glaze "Millennium", and using black special polish, I stamped the fishnet design from M57 over it! 

In the Shade:

In the Sun:

Next up is the gorgeous scenery we saw on the way to Ohio.  We always go two different ways....a longer, more scenic rural route way to get there, and a faster, interstate way to get home.  The following were taken on the way there(click to make big):

Getting ready to cross into West Virginia:

I always love this road!

These were all taken at a little pull off, as we were going through the mountains in West Virginia:

Isn't it just gorgeous!

We were very shocked to see that long stretches of the road was still covered in snow!  We hadn't had snow in a few weeks!  Needless to say, my car left home jet black....Here's how it looked upon return home:

Yeah, it's gray now!

Time for a wash!

Two other random things......

First...I want to show you all why I wear acrylics!  Alittle backstory....On the way home I noticed that a bunch of my nails were lifting pretty badly.  I decided I'd take them off and reapply fresh ones once we got home.  Well, I was out of tips, so I took them off anyway, and let my nails breathe yesterday.  I had a very long (for me naturally) index finger nail.  I sit at a desk and type and do "Office Manager Stuff" all day, yet somehow alittle after lunch, I discovered this:

GRRR!  And ow!  cause of course the split had to go into the quick.  

And after that horribleness, I thought I'd leave you with some cuteness!

There is a cat that roams around our street.  She is GORGEOUS!  Pure white, always smells freshly bathed and looks freshly brushed, and is obviously well fed, but I feed her anyway, just in case!  She has something very unique and beautiful about her, so I thought I'd nab a picture yesterday when she came to greet us home:

Isn't she Gorgeous?  Just look at those eyes!

And yes, she is dirty in this pic, cause she was rolling around while I was petting her.

Well, that's it for today my wonderful readers!

I hope you have a fantastic day!
