My Halloween Fun

Since my health concerns have kept me from doing a lot, my dreams of dressing up like Katy Perry this year got put on hold. At least I rocked out Lady Gaga last year before it became the it thing. Check out my Gaga costume from Halloween 2009.

I'm dealing with lots of weird symptoms and feelings and generally not feeling well. I'm on some meds to try and help me until I get to see specialists. Tomorrow I have an appointment with a Neurologist. I'm just praying for help and good health again.

Since I can't do much right now I've been playing a lot on Picnik. I'm dressing up my pictures for Halloween since I can't physically do it.

Here are some of my creations!

 Bewitching. Ohhh.

 My Pirate Pup.

Rocky Horror anyone?

I made my boyfriend Dr. Frank-N-Furter and myself Columbia.

Love it!

I also did some for my Mom and Brother, and I'm trying to figure out what to do for my Dad haha.

P.S. I actually painted my toenails tonight since I have to go to the Doctor tomorrow. Something to lift my spirits since they haven't been painted it a long time. I used Rimmel's Steel Gray and Nicole by OPI's Pitch-Black-Glimmer. Sparkly neutral for the win.

Thanks for reading my ramble.

Goodnight and God Bless!

Hiatus

I'm going on a brief hiatus from my blog. Or at least anything related to nail polish or beauty, because I'm not really using anything. My health has been a major concern as of late. I was in the hospital over the weekend and have more doctor's appointments upcoming.

I'm scared and worried, but I just keep praying. I will get through this!

God Bless.

BIG BUFFING ROAD TRIP 2010 with Leslie Blodgett

Today the Executive Chairman of Bare Escentuals, Leslie Blodgett, was in my town for the BIG BUFFING ROAD TRIP 2010. I was super excited. I'm a big bareMinerals user. I've watched her with my Mom ever since she began on QVC , and finally began using her products in college. I haven't turned back. This was the first make-up I used that looked natural, it really let me shine through. No caked-up mismatched color mess here!

Anyhow I'd know about this for a while and was very excited when we got to Ulta this afternoon. My Mom also came with me. It was a bit crazy in there. So much going on. They were also doing bareMinerals makeovers, but since I use the product I did not feel the need to do that. My whole goal for going was to meet Leslie, and I did! She is super cute and sweet. She seems to have a really fun personality. We talked a bit. She asked if I used the product and I told her my story. She thanked my Mom for introducing me to her on QVC. It was just a fun moment. I got her autograph and we took pictures with her as well.

(P.S. - The team member there was super nice and took everyone's pictures for them. He deserved a big high-five.)

Without further ado here are the pictures.

It was a good time. So with that, if you've never used anything from Bare Escentuals give it a try!

Thanks for reading. =)

Health...

It's been some time since my last blog post. I'm sorry. I actually haven't done much since then. My nails have been in rather rough shape, so they are on a strengthening treatment right now.

I've also just been feeling very awful. I'm not sure why exactly or what it may be related to. It wasn't to long ago that I had a physical, and since my insurance isn't that a great I try not to go to the doctor too much as it doesn't pay for it. I will hopefully be getting new insurance soon though and hopefully get my issues sorted out.

Honestly, I'm a worrier. So when weird things happen (pain etc.) I get very freaked out. It seems as though as I've gotten older I worry a lot more. Not good I know.

I just want to feel better. Get back to how I felt over 2 years ago. I felt good. I was happy and I enjoyed being active.

I just pray everyday that I can get back to that.

Thanks for reading. =)

Neosporin Lip Health

I've had extremely chapped lips as of late, and my Mom just happened to find Neosporin Lip Health Daily Hydration Therapy. I had been wanting to try it, but never found it. My Mom happened upon it today, and remembered I wanted to try it. So yay for that. (I also want to try Overnight Renewal Therapy, but have never been able to find it either.)

It claims it's Clinically shown to lock in moisture, and restore visibly healthier lips in 3 days. It has SPF 20 in it as well, and you can apply liberally as needed.

It does have a slight smell which I can't put my finger on. Nothing bad and it dissipates once on the lips. It doesn't have a taste. If you've ever used regular Neosporin on your lips you know there is a funky taste if you get it in your mouth, which is inevitable. Ha. This is like a cream and non-greasy.

My lips slightly chapped with the Daily Hydration Therapy applied.

After 3 days of use I will edit this post with the "after" and more about how I feel about the product. Expect that Sunday night. 


Edit Sept. 19: 
So I've been using thins pretty regularly for the last few days. It's kept me pretty moisturized and stays on well. Most of the gross chapped area is healed. 
However I noticed I have lots of white little raised dots on my top lip. I know they are there on occasion but they seem very predominate now. It could have nothing to do with the lip treatment and it could just be me. Just throwing it out there, because I have no clue what they are lol.

Belated Blog Birthday...

I decided to look back and see when I made my first post. It was back on July 7, 2009. My little blog is over a year old. I missed my blogs birthday haha. Oh well, thank you little blog for being a fun place to share things I enjoy!

And thank you to all those who stop by and read it. I appreciate it!

Bare it All

I was perusing through Ulta the other day, and found a little beauty in the clearance bin. Bare it All by Ulta. It's one of those gray/beige with a purple hint polishes that are very in right now. I think I can dig this trend. It's on the lighter side. The formula was good. It evened out nicely in 2 coats.

Now let's have a look. The first picture I held it up against the plum colored towel so you could see the purple in the polish come out. The rest are outdoor shots.

Have a great day everyone. Thanks for reading.
