OMG Ahmazing!! L A Girl 3D in teal dimension

I am in love. A lady on my swap group posted some swatches of this line last week. I made it my mission to find them and oh I am not disappointed!! It's a beautiful deep teal color with holographic glitter. Wonderfully smooth application and just gorgeous!! I can't wait to take a picture in the sun. I really need to start doing my manis during the day lol. I have seche vite as the base coat and then two coats of the polish. The pictures don't do it justice. I only bought four colors but I will be going back for the rest of the line. I can't stop staring at my nails!! And this totally makes up for the julep fail that messed up my night. Ladies go try these!!!

Julep Eden and Rock Candy Nail Glaze

I love the deep purple color but once again I dislike julep and their stupid clumpy formula. Blah. It was hard and thick to put on and dried with no shine. The pinky is the rock candy alone and my middle finger is Eden with rock candy on top. I couldn't tell much of a difference. This is topped with Essie good to go which made it shine. I may keep a few of the colors just because I love the colors I'm not sure yet but I will swap most of them. Julep just isn't for bunnies.

Julep. Just can't do it

Ok I'm done with julep. I've tried to like their stuff and was so excited about the new colors I got. Their polish is just thick and clumpy and the brush sucks. I've bought better drugstore polish. I won't be using them again. I know some ppl who love them and I wanted to. But I don't. Boo. It's not just a color all of them are thick and clumpy. I already don't paint my nails great but at least with a good formula they come out nice. These formulas just suck. I won't be ordering anymore boxes. End of rant. Fifty bucks wasted. Except for the two beauty products I got. Maybe they should stick to those. End of rant lol

Julep Kaylen from The Brights Collection

First off I'm not a fan of orange but I figured I'd try this. It's my least favorite colorwise from the collection and that held true on my nails. I was hoping for a more bright orange like my cousins I posted earlier. This is a more dull Halloween type of orange. Two coats made it opaque but was still a bit streaky. It dries very dull but a top coat of Essie good to go shined it up a bit. Was a bit thick and clumpy applying as well. Overall just not for me but maybe for someone else! This will go in my swap box!!

My weight loss

So the other night going through pictures I didn't really realize how much weight I have lost. I think my scale has a mind of its own but as far as a non scale victory I'm on a size 11 tightly lol and a 13 comfortably. I love it!! I want my tummy to go down more and tone things up but I'm happy on the path I'm on. The fluffy picture if me is September 2011 and the thinner picture is March 2013. What a difference!! I really had no clue what I looked like till this new picture and when I went shopping and Kay pointed out the clothes I was picking up were way to big for me lol. I haven't been exercising I have to say its the pills I'm on for my back and I just eat smaller portions but still what I want. I'm sure at some point I will hit a plateau and have to change things up. As far as exercise I have to wait till I'm done with back surgery but regardless I'm happy with my new less fluffy self!!

Happy Easter Bunny Dinner!!

I've totally been slacking (again) this last week with cooking. Just tons going on it seemed so I made sure I cooked a great Easter dinner for us. Brown sugar ham and roasted chicken with greens, baked Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, potato salad, crossiant rolls and deviled eggs. It was super super yummy and as always tons of leftovers!!

Our first Broadway Show!!

So for years and years I've dreamed of seeing a show on Broadway. Rent was one of my top picks but I was a few years to late for it. Last time we lived in NYC we didn't go to Broadway and I was super sad so this time I didn't miss the chance!! We went to see Wicked Saturday afternoon and OMG was it amazing!! A few times before I saw it I griped about the price but I can totally say it was worth it. The songs were beautiful, it was super funny and really just indescribable. I think everyone should see a Broadway show once! I have to admit I'm hooked. I loved seeing Defying Gravity my favorite and my cousin Theresa's favorite song in person. Kay loved it and all last night and today we have been singing numbers from the show. I grabbed a tshirt and some souvenirs for my cousin and some friends and took as many pictures as I remembered to lol. I do have to admit for weeks I looked forward to this and not only did I wake up late I had the time wrong so we had to rush and get ready and hop a cab there. My long leisurely preparation with a lush bath and great hairstyle were thrown to the wind but once I was there it didn't matter. I'm so excited to go again!! I think the next one will be the lion king but before that we plan to go to Brooklyn Arts and Music Dance Africa that's coming in May!
