Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Hey you lovely people!
So last before going to Vegas, I was going to go for a manicure.
I had soo much stuff to do and YES I am a procrastinator!
I didn't pack until an hour before I left! hehe.

Anyways, back to the mani part ...
I had recvd a coupon in the newspaper for
"Sally Hansen - Salon Effects"
I decided to try it out ...
I bought it from CVS for $8.00 (w/ my coupon)

It was a bit tricky at first but one I got the hang of it ..
Oh man I was soo in love.
It really is easy, and your nails look so neat & pretty!
Take a looksie ...

Most of the available colors

The box

"The kit"
sticker nail polish, nail buffer/file,
cuticle pick & of course instructions


The finished result.

It's been one week and my nails are going strong!
Have any of you tried it?
Do you wanna try it ;)

Glad I am home.
I missed my boy ♥

V-Day Recp!

It is actually a very small recap from my iphone, I am not able to upload pix from this computer :(
As I read in other blogs, I really do miss the feeling of going to school, making little mailboxes.
Every year my mom & dad got me gifts and candy! I had a really good childhood ♥ hehe.

This year is Christian and I's 6th Valentine's Day together!
This year probably was the best!
My day started off getting some cupcakes & candy from my co-workers.
All the ladies at work were getting flowers delivered and I was a bit jealous! haha!
Christian called before my lunch hour to let me know he will be there to pick me up for lunch.
When I got into his car.... There was a red rose waiting on the seat for me :)
My boyfriend is diff not the cheesy type at all!!! So i totally didn't expect that! We went to eat lunch and when I returned to work ... My brother dropped by for a surprise visit with my baby nephew! I was soo happy to see him, he is moving to another state next month & I have been really sad about it. After he left, I finished up my day at work.

When I got home I gave Christian the card I had made him & A Huge Receses Pieces Heart (his fav).
He told me he had to give me my last gift, I was like ... wait another gift?? He suprised me with JUICY COUTURE EARRINGS!
2 weeks earlier I had pointed out I really liked those and he bought them for me! YAY!
Lastly, we meet up with good friends our friends & had a triple date at Gordon Biersch. It was so amazing! I can't even explain how happy I was! I really wish I had more pics.
maybe soon :)


Clockwise: The card I made Christian, Christian's gift to me
(A rose, cute note & juicy couture earrings),
our appetizer Crab & Artichoke Dip, Dinner-Pecan crusted chicken.

Hope everyone's V-Day was also very special day with whom ever you celebrated with ♥

30 Day Challange - Day 5 & Day 6

Day 5
Write about a period of time in your life where things were not so good.


This answer is a little hard to answer. My dad had been sick for a few months and had been in & out of the hospital. I guess you can say I was a bit in denial. I thought, how can anyone imagine their life with out their mom or dad? I thought that it would never happen to me. My dad would be all old walking me down the aisle and carrying my children.
JANUARY 3, 2005 - My life totally changed. My heart some how ached so bad and there was not a thing I can do about it. I lost my dad. I hear all that talk "he's in a better place, hes not hurting anymore" BUT i was hurting! I wanted my dad! I questioned religion and how GOD could have taken him away from me. I started to think that was a bit selfish but I was a BIG TIME DADYS GIRL. So after his passing, we had some family fall outs with my brother and my mom sometimes. Holidays totally SUCKED! I felt like my life was falling apart. We were forced to live with my grandma and she was hasseling me for money I didnt have, I was 19 and barely starting out. So I decided to do the unthinkable and move in my boyfriend and his family. I guess I can say I feel him and his family saved me. It was hard to leave my mom but it was something I felt I had to do.  Now 5 years later, I still have that void in my heart which will never be filled by anyone. The day I get married, I will probably cry like a baby thinking my dad should have been there. I really hope he is still with me. I have some weird encounters of him in my dreams and that assures me he is still watching out for him.





Day 6
When was the last time you were truly honest with someone? What was it about?



Well I am usually honest with all my close friends, but I would have to say with my cousin (no name meantioned because he may read it and be mad at me) haha. Anyway, He couldn't let go of a past love and it was really all turning into ugly. It was really just ridiculious! Mind Games, Phone tag, hurting eachother, updating Facebook status' to rub something in the others face. It was really all so immature. I told him what I really thought about the situation and how I thought he was just afraid to be alone. People shouldn't feel they need a rebound to make themselves feel better or get over someone. They should do it for themselves especially when the ex is being a crazy ass saying people died, just so they can answer the phone! haha!

Am I right?
