Hello

I have so many blogposts that I want to put up. Today I got some really exciting finds from Target and Sally's. I will do a post on what I got later, but I need to upload the photos to the computer, and I am feeling pretty lazy. I am trying to post as frequently as I can, but it has proven itself to be difficult. I was watching Julie and Julia today and it gave me hope to keep writing on my blog. People could be reading it, but they aren't leaving comments. I have barely posted anything so I am not too discouraged.

Right now I am wearing China Glaze's Heli-YUM from the Up, Up, & Away Collection. I am really falling in love with China Glaze. I still love OPI, but China Glaze is just as nice, and it is cheaper. I am a nail polish junkie. I have so many nail polishes that I bought and haven't even used yet. Can someone say addiction? I realize I have that problem, and I'm working on it. I absolutely love makeup too, but I don't buy it in as big of quantities as nail polish. I will try really hard to post my haul tomorrow...

My mom did the sweetest thing for me and bought me some candles from this little shop. They will be in the pictures in the upcoming post. This post is jumping from one thing to the next. I really am just typing what I am thinking. Oh I got New Moon today. I couldn't help it when I was at Target. I also have the Twilight special addition. Normally I wait for DVDs to be cheap but I really like the Twilight series. Twilight was a cheesy movie, but I still loved it. I'm a bit of a fan since I fell in love with the books. They were so addicting. I love reading, but rarely do I find a book that I stay up till 3 AM even though I know I have to wake up early the next day.

Alright so I think that is all I had to say for a quick post. PS You will see in my next post, but I have been trying to have more artistic pictures that aren't just plain jane. Comment and tell me how you like them. That is if you are reading this.......

XOXO,
Cathy

Failure

Alright so I know I promised great things about posting once everyday for a week, but I couldn't. School makes it very difficult to do this, so I guess I shouldn't promise things I can't keep. I justify it with not very many people reading this blog... haha. Onto the reason why I decided to post. On Saturday I really wanted to relax and forget the stress of the previous week. I had the house to myself, so I watched some tv, did some homework yadayadayada. I painted my nails Do You Lilac It? by OPI, the perfect spring color. Except it snowed on Saturday, and it was chilly on Sunday. Last week was the perfect sunny warm weather and then this weekend happened.


Sorry for the messy paint job and what not. Everytime I paint my nails I will try to take a picture, so I can post it on the blog. I will also get better at taking the picture I hope. I also did my Queen Helene Mint Julep mask which I love. (got it at ulta, but I think you can find it at some drugstores) I went to dinner with my sister and saw Shutter Island which was pretty good. Definately not what I thought it would be plot wise. Go see if you have some money and time. I was thinking about seeing Remember Me, and I still want to see it, but the reviews were pretty bad. I think that movie is something I will go rent. On Sunday I did a little shopping at Victoria's Secret. I absolutely love their PINK line. It's a little expensive, but I love it. I have been buying waaay too many things from there. I thought I would include some pictures of what I got.
This is a V- neck tshirt dress which I got for $10. I am a part of the PINK nation and I get little deals like this all the time. I have gotten a free undie and perfume sample also. Join http://www.vspink.com/ This isn't available online so I had to take a picture of it myself. I would rather have a model show it off, but no luck. This is so much cuter on than it looks. I would pair it with black leggings, but you could wear it by itself I think.


This next thing is this floral dress. It is so cute! I am going to wear it as my Easter dress with a small black cardigan that I have had forever. I will definitely wear it during the summer and spring. This gets me so excited to get more spring/ summer clothes. I hope to do haul type blog posts! Tell me what you think. I purchased everything mentioned, and I am not involved with any companies. Have a great day!
XOXO,
Cathy

Ehh...

Ok so I don't really have anything to post today. Let's just say that today was not a great day.... Anyways I guess I can do a product rave... I really love Aussie's 3 minute miracle in moist. It is a great deep conditioner that is quick so I can use it on a regular basis. I usually buy these deep conditioners that you have to leave in for 15 minutes and then rinse off. For my busy schedule, I really can't do that. This product smells so good, reminds me of a pina colada and its reasonably priced.

Welcome to this Blog

This is my first blogpost for this blog. I have been really inspired by some of the blogs I follow, and have decided to do one myself. I have done a blog before, but I never really got into it. This blog will be about makeup, fashion, hair, and nails. (pretty much everything beauty related lol :P) Please follow and leave comments! Tell other people about this blog too. Anyways to start of this blog I will try to do at least one blog post per day. After the first week I will try to update a couple times a week. I would really love all the feedback I can get :). This blog will pretty much have everything and anything on it. This is just the intro to the blog, and I will hopefully post something else today that is more interesting than this. Ok well I don't think I can ramble too much longer.... Have a nice day! :)

XOXO,
Cathy
