Hello Kitty, Tiffany Blue, Flowers, Watermelons, Cupcakes... OH MY!

RANDOM-ness

Not in any order of what so ever.. Just blah blah blah-ing about anything, really.

To start of, though its hard to kinda admit... However. I, kinda miss my Cavalier, my very first car. I was in high school. Got me anywhere i wanted to go! Especially where i partially grew up/ or should i say spent my middle-high school years.<- Was in the middle of now where in Az. Where the nearest Mc Donalds was 10 miles away. Every one knew every body. My Cavalier, was officially given to me when i turned 16. Now i am almost 24(in Nov,) and just last month., I said goodbye to Nicky(Cavalier.)

It was "time," to let go and up grade. I suppose i didn't really have any choice. I have been putting off getting a new car for years and finally got the courage to do it. For moral support, my AMAZING mother came down and helped me decide about what to get. 350z, G35 what was really i was looking for. Of course, it was a bit difficult to find an Automatic 350z; with low miles. They were discontinued back in... i believe 09 and was replaced by a wider chassis. The G35 coupe, on the other hand was very hard to find. So after a couple of weeks of searching my husband was suggesting different vehicles. We looked at Scion TCs, VW Jettas... Even was going to check out a couple of TT's.. Until, a certain vehicle caught my moms eyes. Chrysler Crossfire limited edition. We immediately looked at the car, ASKED for the CARFAX and-without any test drives... started paper work.

Mom decided to test drive my car, after we had gotten it.! Fell in love even more, with the car that she had successfully suggested for me to purchase. I cant say i blame her. It is a wonderful car.

With that being said. I promised my self that the next car i would own will have the Autobot Emblem.. And i found this on Ebay. I don't really care what others will say, I WANT iT! -- End of story.

Snap shot. Inside my car, the very next day. On my way to the office.

The very next day.. Got bored on my desk and thought i should paint my nails. So i did and matched the color of my new car.

Last, but not the least. In the month of June and July, my department hosted the annual Summer Bash contest. Where, each week- depending on how we did..individual career goals, will get us a chance to win up to 10 raffle tickets. Again, each week. And in order to maximize the earnings of the ticket, of course you would have to meet and EXCEED your monthly/daily goals. Which i, always did(not to boast, I'm very competitive.)

And after two big months of racking up tickets to put in whatever box choice you decided to, the company took my department to a paid several hours of bowling and pizza, where every half an hour our Department manager will draw name from each boxes and finally announced the winner.

Unfortunately, my name was not picked in any of the categories. Yes, i was somewhat bitter. I had earned... I believe, a total of 7-10 tickets a week(i took a week vaca to Cali, in the middle.) I placed them in all raffle boxes with the exceptions of Grill, Blu Ray and Ipod. Although i did not win any of these amazing prizes, i cant say that i did not have fun bowling or getting fed lunches/break fast in the office. And the truth of the matter is that i have won many little prizes at work through out the year. Such as tons of movies, a set of beautiful Mosaic Hurricane candle holders, $100 worth of Bath & Body Works stuff(several times,) and many many more that i cant even remember. I am fortunate to work for a company that even in these hard times, takes very good care of their employees.

Just, rambling...

Its been awhile

Since i have done anything with this blog of mine.
I have just been so busy lately... with work, family & just life in general. I do have to kinda-ish blame work. It's just been SO busy in the office lately. IT does SOMETIMES takes a lot out of me. Where sometimes i feel exhausted. To always meet and exceed my goals and be a good example for others. So for "those" bad days... i pull out my box of nail polish. Without thinking if the color would match my outfits, should it be plain? OR should i put a design? I just go and paint.

And every time i start, i always, in the middle of painting my nails- would realized something!<- Maybe i should have taken a picture from the very beginning, maybe do a step by step pictures. But laziness gets the best out of me. I do, however manage to take pictures of the final outcome. Sometimes too SOON, where i don't actually clean the sides of my fingernails. But i thought, i should share =)

I painted my tips white, applied "black" Shatter by OPI on top of my tips. Lined the top of my tips "sparkly green(i don't exactly know the name)" by Art Deco, then finally top coat.

My Japanese inspired nails

Painted all my nails Sinful Colors "savage." Applied one coating of Sinful Colors "daddy's girl." Draw little black branches using "black" Art Deco by L.A nails polish. Then using dotting tool, i put little dots using "folly" by Sinful Colors.

Under the SEA

I painted some of my top nails with clear base sparkly glitters and the others with green glitters<- Applied only 1 coat each nail. Painted from half to the tips using a bright blue sparkle(2 coat to even a light finish and 3 coats to make them darker.)

StarFish: Plain yellow(no glitter or shimmer, other wise it would just blend in with the background.) Then used bright orange to put dots on top.

Corals: Had 2 with different colors... One was a pale pink with little pinkish-brown dots. The other one was like an orangy-red color.

SeaPlants: Again, i created 2 different styles and colors. One was the well known Codium Reediae seaweed using dark green then, using a different hue of green with some sparkle to kinda bring the shape up front. For 2nd one i used a slightly dark deep red and highlighted some parts using the orangy-red color then i went back to put a little bit of orange just to make it stand out a little bit more.

Shell: I used a deep coral color. Added some sparkly orange on some places.

Guppy: Purple that fades into a light brown tail also with little black dots.

Rock: Gun metal dark then to highlight some areas i used light silver.

LittlePearls: Small dot using the Pale pink color then covered it up with light metallic blue.

News Paper Nails

Use any type of light gray polish to cover your nails. When completely dry dip each nail in rubbing alcohol for about 5-7 seconds then press news paper in place(be careful on pressing. IF you move it to much then the ink from the paper might not come off as dark.) After 10 second, each nails, remove carefully.

There you go guys! I hope you do enjoy them :)

DON'T FORGET: TOPCOAT!

Get them done!

So i have been thinking of getting my nails and a pedi today. Most of the time i get my nails pretty plain, as in just white tip. Sometimes i do have colors. But never the 3d designs. I never thought i want to get one. Until i saw some one who had her nails done with little desserts(cakes, pastries and candies) when i was in Hawaii thi summer. To be honest, and nothing against the 3d designs; but they can get pretty tacky. But since i saw those on that girl, i thought id try them. Ofcourse i didnt want the same things she has, instead i wanted... Hello Kitty!<- Now who could have guessed that? lol

So i went to research, to see some ideas on what they might look like. Although i dont think i will get as crazy as some the pictures as i saw online. I do want some kind of Hello Kitty there somewhere. Even if it was just painted on.

But i do... love the design on these toes :D




Mani.. Pedi.. Love

My 22 Birthday wish list...

Define: Wish- a specific feeling of desire.

2. Make Up & Make Up Brushes.

3. A New Purse.

-Not so much suggesting for a new Louis Vuitton but i would love a NeverFull Monogram!

5. New Moon Tickets.

- Well You know! Uhm, i read all the books in 5 days. This is with alot of pee breaks, breakfast, lunch & dinner<- either at the table as a family or out somewhere. Oh and i manage to go Snow boarding in Colorado and join Rhett's family night! (IM A FAST READER!)

6. A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY!
- I dont know... i just never had one. I've never been caught that much off guard. Not that im automatically expecting it or anything.

7. Juicy Couture Necklace.

8. Tank Dress.
-Oddly i dont own a pair! Because i havent found one that fits me the best!

9. A Puppy.

-Because i am not ready to have a kid, but my house is lonely when Caleb is not home :(.

10. Dooney Clear Zebra Duffel.
-I saw one when Caleb and i went to Cali and i just fell in love with it. Ofcourse he was asking me if i want it and i was all shy and just walked away.

11. Get My NAILS done.

-Because my nails have had their "VACATION" from constantly getting them done. Their not thin and they are not sensitive anymore.

12. A NEW pair of Sunglasses.
-I havent gotten a pair in months!
