Baby’s got black

3 Comments

1Like my little take on black nail polish? I’ve given up on buying all sorts of expensive (OPI) nail polishes because quite frankly, ELF nail polishes work amazing for me. They’re a thicker consistency and never streak despite the reviews given on their website. I bought 16 polishes for $16 + shipping online the other day. Mostly neutral colors. I submitted an order about a year and a half ago getting all sorts of cheap makeup from ELF, but all of it ended up in the garbage because that’s exactly what it was. Total garb. The only things I kept were the polishes, so I thought I’d “invest” (ha ha!) in some more.

I rarely wear dark colors, but I thought I’d sport them with a bit of zebra paint to tone it down. Paint on some white lines and call it a day. Well, I had my Alpine White (OPI) polish out, and my hot pink (ELF) and decided on doing polk-a-dots with a toothpick instead.

Yes. I know I have scaly hands. Ex boyfriends nicknamed me lizard hands before :(  I blame it on the rock climbing!! I also have terrible cuticles. Also blaming that on my dry scaly hands. I can’t help it.

This is the end result. I dig it:

32Top it off with a coat or two of clear polish and you’re set for a week! NICE.

Title of the entry? Totally my boyfriend, not me.

Two weeks ago today, I made my first batch of muffins, ever. Can you believe it? I think I’m a natural when it comes to this stuff. Nothing I make turns out un-edible. (I may just be jinxing myself here) or it could be the fact that I’m following super duper easy recipes from BFF’s who bake like pro’s. (Hi Jenna!). I have since made another batch of blueberry muffins and some banana bread. What have I turned into!

Doesn’t it look so gorg? Mmm. I want to make a 3rd batch, maybe banana next time. The top was nice and “pebbely” as the recipe said,  kinda crunchy and I made 12 … they were gone within two days. Seriously folks, and that was trying to limit myself too. I couldn’t help myself. What I don’t get is why my muffin’s don’t have MUFFIN TOPS. Maybe I just need to make less muffins, more batter in each cup. I dunno. We’ll see with if it progresses through my many tries.

I just may have to post this one in the recipe section you guyyyyyys.

Highly fashionable

end-of-the-dayTell me you love those toasty warm down filled slippers of mine.

Now, this is what I automatically change into as soon as I get home from work in the evenings. I am so eager to change into these sweats after work. I have such a routine now. I get home, and don’t even take off my jacket/shoes. I fill the sink up with hot water and soak some dishes left over from breakfast. Then I wash my hands and change into sweats, prep supper, turn on the computer or TV for some noise, and start making supper. Ahh. I’m so boring!

I noticed my Mom had some crazy booties on her feet when I went home for Christmas last year. I asked her where she bought them because she said they were “down’ (and I love anything down filled. I have a down filled TV sized blanket that I put over me in the evenings, and I have a duvet, and a down filled vest. Guess you could say I’m a bit obsessed with it. I picked up two pairs of these slippers (they came in green, or black). I should have gotten a pair of each, but I got two pairs of green ones. My feet are constantly cold, but as soon as I put these bad boys on — oooo buddy do my feet warm up quickly with these on. I secretly want a few more back ups! How sad!

I know you’re jealous of my fashion sense. My boyfriend makes fun of me because I mean, just look at me lol — whomever made those jogging pants should be shot. I bought them ages ago (literally, like 10 years ago) and I only used to wear them when I was sick. Well, in Ontario the weather is a lot cooler than back home, so I’ve decided to adopt these as my after-work-pants. Look at the crotch on those. They’re a size small by Roots. I don’t think I’m going to have these pulled up to my boobies! They’re suuuuuuper low, and make my ass look super flat and saggy. Which, I don’t really care because these NEVER leave the house lol.
