Kitteh pouch
Best Christmas gift I ever got!
Chocolate Strawberries!
I have been wanting to do something fun (and pink) with my hair for a while and I finally did it. I had a wonderful stylist who is very familar with fashion colors (her own hair was beautiful) and did a great job of understanding what I want, what would work and even did research before I arrived to make sure the end result looked fantastic!!
I told her I wanted it to look “natural” as much as pink hair can look natural and I think she hit the mark blending it into my normal hair. Fashion colors fade pretty fast (I will have to go every 2-3 weeks for touch ups) but the way its layered in even when it does fade it will still look good. Which is great cause I am a pretty low-maintenance kinda girl. The other great part of how she worked it in is that it looks better with waves or curls so its easy for me to let my hair air dry and my usually annoying waves actually work for me instead of against me!!
Kitty Fashion Week
By the title you thought this was going to be a post of kitties in clothes, didn’t you? Well I hate to disappoint but this post is about my new clothes!
I got new pants:
And I got new shoes:
And I am totally not a crazy cat lady so you can put that thought out of your head right now!!
But seriously, here is a picture of Luna in a pretty dress:
Grecian Night
The Other and I were invited to an awesome lake side Grecian dinner tonight hosted by Cacao Sweets and Treats. Everything was homemade and the food was amazing! There was a strict dress code (girls in white dresses, men in white shirts/khaki pants) and it was fun to see everyone dressed up and looking so great!
Phase 2
Switching it up – Phase 2: Peak-a-boo Purple Highlights!
Phase 1
Switching it up – Phase 1: get a super sassy haircut
Curly Version!
Because what is life without glitter?
The Other suggested I try a manicure without glitter polish.
I looked at him in shock – not understanding the words that were coming out of his mouth. Maybe he means “with glitter polish”? I clarify; nope he clearly said without. Strange…
Anyway I try this, which I think I turned out really well. And yes Shimmer is totally different from Glitter!!
Mani Monday!
I participate in the Reddit Gift Exchange and this time I did the nail and makeup exchange. I was really excited about this one because I like getting my nails painted and recently have started to enjoy painting my own nails and even trying out designs. It seems like I can’t go into Ulta or Sephora without purchasing nail polish regardless of how many colors I have. I actually put a self-imposed ban on my nail polish buying leading up to the exchange (and even that I broke…)
I didn’t do this one myself, I used my Christmas gift from Brianna to treat myself to a gel mani. Its sparkly teal with orange glitter – I feel like a mermaid!
Anyway, my gift arrived today and I couldn’t be more thrilled!! It is a DIY nail art book and some nail art brushes. My Santa included a super nice note and she totally got me the perfect gift. Honestly I would already be trying them if I didn’t get the above gel mani last Friday 🙂 Give me at least another week
So thank you thank you thank you I can’t wait to try it out! I will definitely post an update when I try my first design.
In the meantime to hold you over (cause I’m sure you need that) here are some recent manis I did myself:
Butter Knackered – this is the polish I broke my ban to buy. It was the last one left and too pretty to pass up!
Butter Rosie Lee – so much glitter!!!! Butter makes the best glitter polish I know, only issue is getting it off.
These are actually Sally Hansen nail stickers. Great for a quick mani and have some cool designs. I hope to be doing designs like this myself now!!!!
Roses are red, Brutus smells like poo
I try to always have fresh flowers in the house but I usually don’t get Roses because for the price they don’t last add long as other options. With Easter coming up though there are lots of flowers on sale at Jewel so I got this pretty bunch for a deal.
This gave me some inspiration for fun nails. I found these nail art stickers at Jewel as well. You just wait for the color to (mostly) dry, place the stickers where you want them, then put on a top coat. It’s a great easy way to get fancy nails without much effort or skill. I did each nail a bit different too, which I think gives it a more hand-crafted look (pun intended)!
And no, none of this helps Brutus smell any better. His poo-aura conquers all!
SOUP-er Fridays #3 Omnibus
Last week me and The Other came down with the flu. We still did SOUP-er Fridays, but switched to an easier soup than what was originally planned. We ended up making Cheddar Broccoli soup, which I normally don’t like, but this was good. Better than the Tomatoe Cream soup, but still not as good as the Beef Barley Soup.
Over the weekend I had a cat show. In between selling my own wares I was able to shop for some items for me. The best part of the show was when I found a show that stole silly kitty hats! Everyone who knows me will know how much I love 1. – wearing hats, and 2. – dressing up my cats. It’s the best of both worlds!! I also found another booth that sold human hats so I got one for myself as well (see point #1)
There was another shop that sold embroidered shirts…and embroidered toilet paper. Now there is something you have to buy when you see it. This is something rappers would have in their house – Ridiculous!!
I also found another use for my metal Starbucks card – is there anything that card can’t do!
I ate dinner Saturday night with my cousin and her husband at a Vietnamese restaurant. I had never tried Vietnamese food before but I really liked it. I had the Beef Rice Noodle Soup. The serving was HUGE and I had enough for 3 leftovers.
