Too Early

      I am thinking I should go back to bed and try again in a couple of hour. I get up this morning as usual and go fill the coffee pot up,so I think. I go wake up the kids as the pot is brewing and when I go to grab a cup of my delicious coffee I find  HOT WATER! Oh my I completely forgot to add the coffee. That can not be a good sign of how my day is going to go. Please tell me someone else out there has done this before?

Nail of The Day

update: 9/19   just noticed the price has been knocked down on these!!!


I have seen all those fingernail stick on polish’s and have wanted to try them out. However, paying $10 for a one time use just didn’t seem worth it.
     Well one day as I was scrolling along on ebay I came across some for $3.99. Not only did they look similar to the sally hansen and essie brands but hey the cost was way less! I didn't buy them right away because i still wasn't sure if id like them. After about a weeks worth of consideration I decided to order some.
   Yesterday I was so excited to get them in the mail! I love them so far. They have bling! The greenish colored stones do stick out so hey, I match my bling cell phone case

  The process was so much faster and easier than painting my nails with polish and waiting hours for it to completely dry. Why hadn’t I tried this concept out sooner? Oh ya right, the price! Glad I found some cheap ones. Anywho, all you do is clean your nails really well, match the size of the sticker to your nails and press them on. Then bend whats left hanging off your nail over the tip of your nail and file off, its that simple. Now the true test is….will they last a long time before chipping or pealing off? Guess ill check back in, in a few days to let you know. If you have used sally, essie or any other brand of nail stickers let me know how you liked or disliked them.

for real its free?

      Have you ever heard of a site were you can get things for free? I'm not talking about all those freebie sample sites. Its more like  an ebay style site were people post their unwanted items, kind of like craigslist only you bid on stuff and a lot of times its free shipping. I just found out about this site this morning. You can check it out by clicking HERE its called listia. If you have tried is what would you say you like and/or dislike about it?

Julep Maven Box

 

   Last week I got a code, I believe from the All You website, for a free Julep Maven box. I have been following Julep on twitter for some time now and  wanted to try out their products just didn't have the money really to do so. So I was excited to use this code, all I had to do was pay the $3.99 shipping & handling fee. If that's all I had to pay to get three full sized products sent to me I was in!     
  
    Today when checking the mail, there it was. Wow, that came faster than I had expected. Here is the unveiling of my products: (sorry about the pictures I took them on my cell next time I'll dig out the camera)


                   

I have not tested them out yet, but when I do I plan to make a review. Here is the first product I pulled out. Mint Condition Pedi Crème. It exfoliates and hydrates. Perfect for my feet :)

I loved the pretty pink packaging they placed the polish in. Very girly. Under the ribbon they placed a sample of their Glycolic hand scrub.

No the most exciting part of the box for me of course is the nail polish. I am a polish addict! lol cheaper than being a makeup hog.

On the left is the color Marion, I guess its from the "it girl" collection? On the right is Courteney from "boho glam". Now both of these seem smaller than the polish bottles that I normally buy but I am hoping they go on nice and smooth with only one application so that way it will last me some time.

 If you want to get more information and possibly sign up to be a Julep Maven, you can check out my link here! It's a referral link (referral code 22794156) , so if you sign up through my link, I get points that I can use towards future Julep purchases. So everyone wins! 

Girly Day

      During the summer vacation do you find yourself spending  some girl time with your little ones?


    Today was spent with my eight year old doing our hair, putting makeup on and of course who can forget to paint their nails! :)

We used Sally hansen Insta-dri in Presto Pink and Silver Sweep

OPI Nicole Razzle Dazzler (black) I think opi is my favorite brand so far. That may change when my julep package arrives and I get to try the polish out for the first time.

Top coat was wet and wild shine

  I have to say I usually do not care for Sally hansens cheap polish but the insta-Dri's go on smoothly, no smears or bubbles and I think it has to do with how wide the brush is, it covers more area with less swipes.

Job hunting

    Searching for work this day and age just seems harder than it really should be. When I got my first job it was easy, I was 18 walked in the store, asked for an application, met the manager and bam got an interview on the spot and was highered a few days later. Now fast forward oh lets say 13 years later and everything has changed. Now most places want you to fill out an application online. Almost immediately I get back an email saying "sorry you don't match what we are looking for" or something along those lines. The ones that don't send an immediate email, I get my hopes up and think "maybe this is the one" Then a week or so later I get the let down letter in my email. Oh man this is getting to be so irritating!  Someone please give me a chance. The fact that I have been a stay at home parent for the past 7 years has really made finding work so hard. Who wants to hire someone who hasn't worked? Its not like I have been in jail or have been fired from every job I've had, no its just a large gap in my employment history and apparently that says "I wont last long so don't hire me".

Update

                Its been awhile since I've wanted to write on this blog. When I first joined I thought this would be a fun experience and a great way to share things I try, like, and dislike. However, I got busy with other things and forgot to make posts. After awhile I just didn't know what to post about, what interests my readers? As of yet I do not think I have any readers and that is no fault but my own. Maybe I need to do some research on how to get a great blog that'll pull people in and want to know what I've written about.

          Now that I'm coming up on the end of school I was thinking, "what do I do now?" I mean beside the everyday house cleaning and taking care of my family. I have this blog and maybe now is a good time to figure out how it works, and start writing!
