My Strange Addiction

TLC has had some awesome shows over the years. Great ones such as 19 kids and counting, kate plus 8 - a husband.  Sarah Palin's Alaksa, The ever controversial Toddlers in Tiarras, I didn't know I was Pregnant, Hoarding: Buried Alive and my new favorite, My Strange Addiction.

This show is nuts! and amazing. and kinda of freaky.  but really funny all at the same time.  You know its a great show when it evokes so many emotions all at once.

So the episodes range from a people who eat dry wall to people who collect girl's hair from drains.  Weird I know.  But the most recent one I saw was about a lady who had been growing her finger nails for 22 years!  Snap.  that is insane.  She even took the time and money to get a manicure every week.  Woah.  It was like 250 dollars, A WEEK.  That is COMMITMENT.

Here's a peek at these bad boys.



I'm not going to lie.  This is freaky. No offense.
But I'm impressed by her choice of colors.

So this leads me to my strange addiction. NOT AS WEIRD AS THE ONES ON THE SHOW.
It's Nail polish.  I love them.
I love reading about them, buying them, trying them on, wearing them, looking at them, blogging about them and thinking about them.  I can't help myself.
It's like personality in a bottle, my mood changes with the color I wear.  Bright Colors in the dead of winter can lift me out of the snow-blues.  A sparkle color can give me confidence for a presentation.  Its great.  :)
I feel like it's okay though.

So there it is, my strange addiction.


Tell me about yours. No judgments here.  It will never get as weird as eating dryer sheets.


Oh how TLC inspires me.

Magnetic Polish? FOR REAL!

Sorry to be blogging about nail polish again!!

I can't help myself. :)

So I was scoping out the Sephora website yesterday and I came across a new type of nail polish....

MAGNETIC NAIL POLISH!!!! in grey and purple. AMAZING. It is so amazing. I had to go to Sephora as quickly as I could in order to buy it. I'm in love. It is like magic happening on my nails. right before my eyes! and my magnet.

Sephora - check it out here. for realzies.

The picture just doesn't do it justice compared to what it looks like in person. I rushed home to repaint! Watch a video of the magnet do its magic here.

I can't even believe this is now possible. I can only imagine what the future of nail polish holds.

I HIGHLY recommend going to get this, a little pricey but worth it. It looks f-awesome. I'll try and not be too lazy and post some pictures of my own nails.

I also like the grey better than the purple, it shows up better. I'm sure at some point there will be a cheaper version in different colors. But this is REVOLUTIONARY. :)

ALSO- super user friendly. :) I thought it would be hard, but they make it easy for us polish challenged.

Nicki Minaj 2012!

I am a nail polish lover as well as a fierce Nicki fan. She's Fantastic! So unique and exciting. Her clothes blind me but at the same time I totally wish I had enough guts to wear that kind of stuff.

So the great news is....

if you haven't guessed yet.

I am so glad this is finally happening!

an OPI NICKI MINAJ COLLECTION coming out in 2012!!!

I literally CANNOT wait. I saw some of the colors and they look phenomenal. exactly what I would expect and hope for from dear Ms. Minaj.

I think that save me and super bass look the best. But they are all so great I cannot decide.

Scarf Me

I love scarves. They are so delightful. They have also been in fashion lately, which is odd to me because I feel like scarves should ALWAYS be in fashion. That is how great they are. They are functional & cute, which is often rare in accessories. I plan to wear them all winter long.

BUT remember, scarves are now sexy in every season! So don't stop after this winter!! Just make sure to not wear wool ones in the summer. :) That would be silly.

There are lots of types of scarves. I will name some of my favorites.

Driving Scarves- So Classy- especially if paired with driving gloves and big-ass sunglasses.

Circle Scarves! SO MANY OPTIONS. I have an American Apparel grey/tyedye circle scarf and it has endless options. they can actually be transformed into dresses. F-awesome.

Fuzzy Warm Scarves- Winter gets cold. why not keep your ear-zies and neck warm from the cold.

Long Scarves that can be wrapped in a million different ways for diversity.

This post was inspired by the new UNICORN scarf that I will be getting from a great company called Snoozer Loser! I HIGHLY suggest checking them out. They have some really unique prints that are Super cute.

New Developments in Arrested Developments!

So hopefully all of you have already seen Arrested Development. It is an AMAZING show that was Amazing long before Michael Scott was tell "That's what she said" jokes. I still love The Office. :) but that's another blog for another time.

I was into this show a few years ago and have just rediscovered it. This wonderful show only had three seasons before it stopped. But it was one of Michael Cera's early ones. hes such a cute little man.

Now I hear there is going to be 10 more episodes and a movie coming out to continue the saga of the crazy Bluth Family. I CANNOT WAIT!

I highly recommend every one to watch it. :)

HERE!

Its Fall!

So I love Fall, it is hands down the best season out of the four. No arguments, I don't want to hear it! There are many reasons why I love it. So many in fact that I feel the need to list them.

Number 1. My Birthday. - this doesn't even need an explanation.

1.5- LEAF CRUNCHING. My most favorite sport of all time. I like to jump on as many crunchy leaves as I can in a row. The sound they make makes me feel strong and happy.

2. Sweater Season!! I love sweaters. It is like a blanket is hugging you. A snuggie you can wear to class and people won't judge you for.

I personally like to incorporate sweater thursday into my life.

Just wear one every thursday. Make it an epidemic.

3. BOOTS- BOOTS BOOTIES ANKLE BOOTS KNEE HIGHS SUEDE LEATHER RAIN BOOTS

all boots

4. The crispy air. Its so refreshing, it makes me want to sit outside on a porch swing with a good book and a vanilla latte. It is so nice to breathe in. Pure and delicious.

5. Shorter Days. Finally.

6. Awesome Awesome Holidays. Thanksgiving anyone? I like to eat myself into a coma. Pumpkin Seeds. Yes please. Endless amounts of candy to rot my teeth.

7. Gold. I want to wear it. All the Time. and I mean SPARKLY GOLD.

soooo many more reasons. :) But basically. It is Amazing. and I plan to take more walks in my sweater and boots with my van. latte so I can crunch leaves and breathe in the crispy air.

Lets Talk About Nail Polish!

I love nail polish. I love it so much I have had to get 4 different baskets for my ever-growing collection.

I am known for it. People come from all around to use them and ask for my almost expert advice. I am a nail polish guru. Its probably because I paint my own every other day. Its an addiction. A dirty addiction.

It started out as a simple thing. Whenever I have a bad day I used to go shopping, I am a shopaholic, I am not afraid to admit it. To curb this terrible problem I decided to buy one or two nail polishes from walgreens. I always felt better after. Soon my collection grew (I guess I had a lot of bad days)

and then it just kept growing.

and growing

and growing.

Into the +75 that it is now. I can almost remember all the colors I have too! Because I am forever buying new ones.

My friends love this, I don't think my mom does though and she is sadly the person paying the cc. bill. Sorry momma.

Sadly now, my tastes in nail polish became classier and more expensive. you know, O.P.I and essie and china glaze, all those good ones that are under ten dollars but definitelly more than a few. This wouldn't be such a problem if I didnt feel the need to buy two or 3 every time I go. Oh well. :)

So some tips from the self proclaimed nail polish Guru. :)

ADD SOME SPARKLE!

don't be afraid to shine especially in the grey days of fall.

Gold might be a good one to start with.

PLEASE... do try a different color on your toes than the one on your fingers. It adds variety and spice. :)

Gem tones! are totally in right now, so find your regal side and get glam with a deep purple or an emerald green. Maybe a delightful ruby red.

BONUS tip. If you are feeling daring, try my favorite new look.

Two different shades of the same color on each hand. For example a medium purple on your right hand and a dark purple on your left. DO use the same finish, ex. matte needs to be with matte and sparkle with sparkle for this.

enjoy my nail polish frenzies.

Hello World

To anyone that reads this: Which is probably about 1.5 people. The .5 is when I force my manfriend to read it.

This blog will now be officially reserved for f-awesome things.

Only if something is truly great will I honor it in my blog. This is meant to make people happy and smile. :) Just a little day brightener with something that is great to know about or to see. A little piece of trivia to impress people with.

"Did you hear about the quad rainbow?"

Impressive

Or at least that is what I think.

Rainbow Hunter

I saw the news about the first ever proven quadruple rainbow! How great is that!!!! :D nothing could be more exciting.

I would love to put the picture up but sadly it was only of 2 rainbows, because of how the light reflects the quad rainbows end up on the other side of the sky.

BUT! I do have this amazing picture! A RAINBOW SPECTRUM!

I also believe I found a future profession. A Rainbow Hunter. How amazing, I would get to follow rainbows and see them all. I already would consider myself an amateur rainbow hunter. I know my rainbow weather and my friends can vouch for this considering I have a rainbow watch text list.

is this not wonderful! It totally is. I love the atmosphere and the beautiful things it can do. This is all natural and perfect. Just like us. :)

Interesting Things

WOW! New great things.

Doing my usual yahoo.com per-oozing and I stumbled this.

Amazing!

Its light photography, which I did not know even existed. I am glad it does though because it is fantastic.

I am so glad people have unique talents that they use because I want to see them.

and experience them. :)
