My Favorite Glitter Nail Polishes


Lately I have been obsessed with glitter nail polishes. I bought a few from the Christmas 2013 OPI Collection which are both top coats. Also, CVS is having a sale on a ton of beauty stuff, and I bought a few Selena Gomez Nicole by OPI top coats there. $8 and I they were on sale for $2! I would go check CVS out if your interested. But there are some really great non-top coat glitter polishes too. And I talk about those too. These are my top 10.

 So the how I did this was took old NOTW's and put them in to go with this video. Every single NOTW, you can click on the link and it will take you to the actual blog post with a much better review.


 I didn't mention this on the video but I thought the matte top coat paired with a loose glitter looked really cool.


over top Essie's Nothing Else Metals. I love glitters over duo chromes!


A Jelly Sandwich Mani is layered like so: a jelly nail polish, a glitter in the middle, and then over lapped with a jelly nail polish. Sheer nail polishes also give a great effect and that's what I did here. China Glaze Prizm is the glitter and I used Sally Hansen Hard Core Party for the sheer polish which is a sheer baby pink {weird name, right?} 


Another one of my favorite ways to use glitter nail polishes is the pair them with a matte top coat. I've done a few of these NOTW's on my blog. I looks like confetti. My favorite matte top coat is from Hard Candy. It's called Matte-ly in Love and is used in both of these Confetti mani's.

This Confetti NOTW is with Sally Hansen's glitter in Rock Star Pink .


My favorites are the big chunky glitters that come in all shapes and sizes. This is Hard Candy's Party Central

Sally Hansen Strobe Light. Great glitter top coat. Here it is over top of Sally Hansen's No Hard Feelings


When Monkey's Fly from OPI is so strange but so pretty. I bought this last Christmas (2012) but I seen a couple bottles at Ulta a few days ago. I love this pair too. It is over top China Glaze Refresh-mint along with Julep Portia which is a top coat kind of like Strobe Light.





Which one is your favorite?
What about your favorite glitter nail polish of all time?

until next time,

NOTW: Peach Berry Juicy Smoothie With a Side of Glitter

If that was a real meal, I would eat it every day. Sally Hansen comes out with new color sfor the Xtreme Wear line probably twice a year and every time, I buy my fair share. They are anywhere from $2-$3 depending on where you buy them and have a nice consistency for only a few bucks. Easy to use, great quality, and cheap. Perfect.

I think the pink along with the silver glitter really matched my phone case, don't you?

This was actually my first time buying any Sinful Colors nail polish. I know, crazy. I like it! They are like the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear line in the fact that they don't skimp on glitter. Your looking at 2 coats on the trigger fingers aka, thumb and pointer finger. Underneath those two fingers, I have Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Berry Juicy.

from left to right:

Peach Beach is a pretty baby pink. 2 coats on my ring finger.

Berry Juicy is that perfect pastel pink that I have been waiting for to be a reasonable price in nail polish form. 2 coats all fingers but my ring finger.

Queen of Beauty is a nice silver glitter with only 1 size and 1 color glitter. A small silver glitter. Sometimes, I don't want a ton of different colors or sizes in my glitter. I like to keep it simple. Typing that out sounds weird. 2 coats.



quick NOTW!

side note:
you guyyysss! Im moving! I'm still in town {I will have the money one day to move away!} But yeah I will be living in the house my dad grew up in with him and Philly. We have a ton of work to do: painting, plaster, cleaning, moving in. On top of that, I have a ton of things to pack and get ready here. On top of that, my Corel Video Studio Pro x6 free tiral ends on the exact day I have to be out of this house. So I have editing and filming to do. On top of that, I have blog post's to do here on Mind Body Beauty! And I still have to send out my give-away prize and change my address. Please be patient with me with that Kniiiz {my giveaway winner}! Lastly, I also have my full time job....So yeah, that's happening! I cannot wait until August because that mean's I will be moved in and I can get back on a normal track. I want to try another editing program for another 30 days in August. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you!

Hard Candy Party Central Glitter NOTW

Seriously, Hard Candy is the first isle I go down to browse in the makeup section at WalMart. They always have eye catching packaging and inventive products. Especially their nail stuff. The only drugstore brand I know of that has a Matte top coat. I like using it over glitters. Like here and here. This spring, they came out with the Candy Sprinkles line, which has a whole range of glitter polishes with pastel, creamy base colors. Remember Cotton Candy Pink?  And again, I don't see any other drugstore brand doing that. When Hard Candy comes out with a glitter polish, *trust* that they are not skimping on the glitter. 

Along with the Candy Sprinkles line, Hard Candy also came out with the Crystal Confetti line. A ton of glitter polishes with all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors in each bottle. The Crystal Confetti line was where Party Central was born. 

Party Central is suspended in a clear base with round baby glitters, medium sized hexagon glitters, and large hexagon glitters in different jewel tones. Purple, blue, green, gold, and copper. But what sold me on this polish was the white glitters in the polish. The white glitter's don't really sparkle. I think it adds that extra dimension with those glitters being a completely different finish in conjunction with the other jewel toned glitters that actually sparkle in the light. Aside from all of the other sizes I mentioned the pieces of glitter's are, they have an even bigger sized glitter {hexagon shaped} here and there that are no other color then that striking, opaque white. I mean, I can't. Typing out this paragraph a week later makes me want to take off my nail polish and put Party Central back on. But I don't have any nail polish remover. Moving on....


Your looking at 2 coats of Party Central. I told you, they are not skimping on glitter. It is over top a baby pink nail polish with a cream finish. A nail polish by Nailene. Honestly, I got the Nailene polish at WalMart for 50 cents. There is nail polish on the cap of it and had no price tag, so they practically gave it to me. I believe it was in a french manicure kit because it says "French Manicure" on the bottle. It's nice for a french manicure, yes. It is quite sheer because of that. But who really cares about the Nailene polish? 

When it comes to wear, it started chipping after a couple days and that was when I just peeled it off. I do it every time. I need to start wearing a top coat. 

Aside from the said nail polish lines Hard Candy decided to come out with, they also have a couple more. Glitterazzi which basically doesn't even look like there is any base in the bottle, clear or creamy. It just looks like straight up glitter. Itzy Glitzy looks like different duo chrome nail polishes which are also glitters. And another, Crushed Chromes, which looks similar to Itzy Glitzy line if you ask me, but just as gorgeous. 

Have you tried any of these nail polishes from Hard Candy?

Julep's Kaylen NOTW

Just a quick NOTW on a very unique nail polish. I myself have never experienced anything like it. Thank you to Alex for letting me borrow it! She didnt really like it to begin with. I think she might just have to get used to it though. Alex signed up for the monthly Julep Maven box using the code "freebox" to get her first box free and got her polishes within 5 days. I will be giving this back to her, but not before I review it.



Kaylen is a bright neon orange, perfect for kicking off the summer. This nail polish is not a cream. It really isn't a matte either. I would call this a jelly. What your looking at is 3 coats and as you can probably see, my nail is peeking through the polish. Almost as if it's sheer, but quite. It is basically an opaque, see-through polish. When it dries, it doesn't really look matte or glossy. It looks {and feels} rubbery. I am sure there are better ways to describe this polish in a much more technical way, but this is what i'm going with. If any of my  nail obsessed girls know these technical terms, please leave them as a comment! 

Final verdict is that it was pretty cool. I liked it on my nails. Just like any other nail polish, this last 2 days tops without a top coat. As someone who serves food, my nails chip even quicker.

Have you guys tried this?
What did you think?

Falling Confetti NOTW

Hi! I feel like it has been a minute. Almost a week! That's too long. I had a busy week last week. It was nice out. We went on some walks. Barbeque's. Hanging out outside. One of my good friends got married. I drank way too much. I also already wrote this blog post but somehow it was gone {wtf} I wore this mani this past week for all of those fun things

I just love how it looks. 

It perfect for a night out or a day out. 

I think the matte top coat really adds a little something and what makes it special, for me. 

To wear a matte top coat on top of nothing but a white polish is just too much....can we say White-Off? But when you add a bright fuschia glitter on top of that, ombred, it looks like I took a million years. Or maybe it doesn't, I don't know. It looks like a million bucks, rather. It's just neat.


Here's what I used + How I did it:

Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear Nail Color.  
It is $2 at any drugstore {Dollar General too} and I am telling you, so easy to work with. You get a nice even coat after the 2nd one and I couldn't ask for another great white polish. Once I waited for that to dry completely, I moved onto....

Revlon Top Coat: 
Here's the deal. I painted the tips of nails with this then dragged the rest of whatever clear coat I had on brush down the nail. You don't want to be too exact, just like you wouldn't want to be too exact if this was a  normal glitter ombre mani. This is what is going to hold the glitter on. 

-Wait like 20 seconds for it to dry. You don't it to be too wet or else the glitter will cling to every little part of it and it won't have that trickle down effect. You don't wait it to be too dry or else it won't look ombred. It will just look like glitters here and there
-Have a piece of paper ready on a hard surface underneath your fingers so when you sprinkle the glitter over it, it will catch the remainder of the glitter. I put my loose glitter back in the package or you can just throw it away...

Sally Girl Sparkle Effects.  
It $1 at Sally's Beauty Supply. They have a ton of different colors, I want to collect them all! :) anyhow, I think this is a steal for $1. I mean, honestly. The possibilities are endless using loose glitter. On the nail. In arts + crafts. Yeah, I just said arts + crafts. I know. I'm really cool. But im serious! 

Matte-ly In Love from Hard Candy 
The Matte top coat I used is only a couple bucks and can be found at Wal-Mart. I have been loving Hard Candy nail stuff lately. If you don't have a matte top coat, you must seal it with at least a gloss top coat. If you have no top coat, the glitter will fall off of all your nail's by the end of the day. I just really love the look of it with the matte top coat. It's how you turn glitter into confetti.


It's only been a week, but I swear I feel guilty when I don't blog! I feel as if I am not being creative or something. There has been Instagram though. And I still have been photographing. I signed up for a newsletter on tips for using a DSLR. I think I am going to do a photo-a-day challenge. This one looks really fun.  Anyone else down? Anyway's

I hope your having a great week!

When Mint Monkeys Fly NOTW

I am so bummed I missed out on The Living Daylights from the Skyfall Collection from OPI. It was on my wishlist! While at Ulta I was getting jealous that my bff Alex bought When Monkeys Fly from the Wizard of Oz collection and I didnt have it. {which by the way, they did a great job on marketing that movie! They did such a good job, that I hope I never see a video, commercial, or advertisement again let alone the movie itself! haha!}

I asked her "Can we share it?" 

Alex: "Yah of course! But you know how forgetful we are so you should just get your own" 

....Well played, Alex. 
Yeah she's right. We suck at sharing. It turns into one of us borrowing it and the other one never seeing it again. So I bought my own. I do not think it would live up to The Living Daylights" but I love my glitters. I think it could have did without the bigger gold glitters. They are oddly shaped and the edges of them don't lay flat on the nail. As for the little glitters, they are really pretty. When they hit the light, you can see a rainbow colors in them. You will see a closer look in a moment. Pretty

When I got the nail polish home and decided to try it, I was put off my the fact that the gold glitters didn't lay flat on my nail. I actually thought in the store those were skinny glitters because of the way that shape reflects the light.

I added a coat on to what was already on my nails:

China Glaze's Refresh-Mint + Julep's Portia

Luckily, the trio fit together perfectly. The glitters in Portia is similar to the glitters in When Monkey's Fly, but Portia's pull a little more bluer {I feel like I am talking about a person}  Refresh-Mint is a sky blue {not mint, for whatever reason} and since Portia also has a sheer blue base, it turns Refresh-Mint into something a little more dustier and darker, but honestly a refreshing twist on an old pastel favorite {no pun intended...sike! it was intended}

Back to When Monkey's Fly. The hardest part was getting those hard to manage gold glitters in the right place. You have to add it to your nail by simply painting your nails like you normally would, then once the gold glitter is on the nail, hurry up and grab it slightly with your brush to move it somewhere on the nail to where it looks proportioned and nice. This required adding globs of nail polish on to each nail. 




Yeah, I had already painted Refresh-Mint and Portia on my nail earlier that day {I would say 4-5 coats total for the first 2 polishes} but I was still concerned that after I added 2-3 globbing coats of When Monkeys Fly {I keep on wanting to type when mint monkeys fly!} my nails were going to smudge. 

Can I tell you that it dried like seriously quick. Those big blobs of nail polish dried so quick, I couldn't even believe it. 10 to 15 minutes. Open a pop can. Type. Do whatever. They were dry. I am impressed with OPI. This is the only OPI polish I own {I know!} and if this is a testament to what all of their polishes are like, I don't mind paying the extra $1 instead of buying China Glaze.


I am on 4 days of this mani. There is some chipping. But remember, I am a server so I am constantly using my hands. Four days is a really long time! I usually see my polish chipping/peeling after 2 days.

I thought about taking it back honestly. I couldn't get over those weird shaped gold glitters. Then...

I have gotten an crazy amount of questions/compliments on my nails at work. I always talk about nail polish to a couple girls at work but other than that, there is really no nail polish. I had people {other than those girls} asking me to see my nails and asking questions.

Now trust me people, I am no pro at painting my nails. I have gotten better because I paint them so much but nobody is going to compliment my actual nails {my nail beds suck! I am being serious.} People will however want to see your nails if you are wearing the When Mint Monkey's Fly Mani. Or if your wearing When Monkey's Fly. At least I think that is what it is. This nail polish just has special powers or something. I went from not liking it to it being the best investment I could have made when it comes to nail polish

This blog post seems a little too long all for a nail polish. Am I joking? Geez. I am insane. 

Love
Erica

New Hard Candy Nail Polish: Candy Sprinkles Nails

This year the trend for nail polish seems to be cream or pastel base's, with different color glitters. Since my 2 favorite nail polishes are glitter and pastels, you know I am in love with this trend. I already own China Glaze's It's a Trap-Eze which is that same concept. Now I own Hard Candy's Cotton Candy Pink.

I had a little bit of trouble choosing between a few of them. They had a couple pastels colors, but pink is always my favorite. When I seen that Cotton Candy Pink had navy blue, and silver glitter pieces in it, I had to buy it! Navy blue and baby pink are my favorite color combo- so pretty! 


Looking on the site now, I see they have an even lighter color pink with the same color glitters called Pixie Pink. That would have looked even better next to my pale skin. Haha!....But seriously.

Your looking at 3 coats there. 


The cream base is a little bit more opaque than I thought it would be, actually. I love how you can see the glitters underneath the last coat from the 1st and 2nd coat. It looks cool! 

Hard Candy also has matte top coat {Matte-ly in Love} that I love putting over It's a Trap-Eze! {Im wearing it today like that!} and I think it would look pretty over top any of the nail polishes from the Candy Sprinkles line, too! Too bad they don't ever run BOGO sales at Wal-Mart! 

Check out the site {or Wal-Mart} because they have some other new, different, nail polish lines. A duo chrome line {Crushed Chromes}, a neon duo chrome line {Itsy Glitsy}, and 2 other glitter lines that look really cool {Crystal Confetti}+ {Glitteratzi}. 

I should have bought one from each line!...It isn't too late!.

What do you guys think?

Are you into these glitter polishes?

alrite,
c'yah!

China Glaze Haul: with the Cirque Du Soleil Collection + NOTW


I got a $5 off coupon in the mail from Ulta (rewards member) and I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on.  Plus, China Glaze polishes were buy 2 get 1 free. I spent around $11 total on the 3 China Glaze Nail Polishes. 2 are from the Cirque Du Soleil collection and 1 is from the permanent collection. The other polish you see in the picture is Revlon's Cupid that I got from CVS for 75% off. They may still be having their clearance sale so go check it out! I bought my stuff a week ago.


China Glaze never lets me down when it comes to their glitter polishes. Last year, I had a gorgeous one from them called Lorilei's Tiara and this year with their Cirque Du Soleil collection, It's a Trap-eze! is my new favorite glitter polish. It is so gorgeous. I couldn't wait to put it on my nails. What you see in this picture is like 3 or 4 coats. I realize my nails beds suck! Don't judge me. Judge the polish only.



here's what one coat looks like. It is so pretty.

Here's the rest of the Nail Polish I got:



It's a Trap-eze! A white creamy base that dries clear over top all the glitter so you can get your full use out of them. I can't even begin the name all of the different colors of glitter in this baby. I am guessing I don't have to since there is a picture or two, anyway.

Igniting Love: What I would call a raspberry red. Also from the Cirque Du Soleil collection. Im wearing it now and it took 2 coats. Im quite fond of it, actually.

Refresh-Mint: A mint pastel blueish green. That's description is all over the place. It is what it is.

As for the rest from the Cirque Du Soleil collection, there was a hexagon glitter type of nail polish with a black base (everyone's going crazy for it!), a green glittery color, a red glittery color, a chartruse green, a medium pink, a deep violet + some others. They were all so-so in my opinion.

as I am ending this blog post, I am contemplating going back to buy a backup of It's a Trap-Eze! It's already getting gooey because ive been using it so much. Can we say obsession?  Get ready for another NOTD(week?) soon from the Circe Du Soleil polishes. I have something else up my sleeve. I do, i do.

a side note:
Please pray for the babies and their families at Sandy Hook. My heart goes out to them. It really is so tragic. That shooter dude looks like an old lady. That's not nice. I don't care. Too bad he took the easy way out & shot himself.

have a safe week, guys.

Glitter + Matte = Confetti

So lately, I have been adding my Hard Candy Matte Top Coat on top of every single polish I own. I have tried it over cream finishes (nice), duo chrome finishes (really cool), white polishes (don't recommend it unless your going for that white-out look) & my favorite would probably be glitter polishes. I was inspired to buy it from all of my favorite nail bloggers. They always use glitter underneath a top coat and it always looks so freaking cool. It looks like confetti. It still has a little bit of a shine to it, but you can see the colors in the glitter more vibrantly as opposed to seeing the sparkle. I have had people ask me "how did you do that?!" Of course I will always love my glitter polishes with a normal top coat, but if your like me and you have lots of different nail polishes with limited amount of finishes (cream, duo chrome, cream w/flex of glitter, and glitter) the matte top coat is really a fun way to mix it up. And by the way, my nails aren't in the best shape, but I just had to share this!



The glitter is called Rockstar Pink and it has bright pink glitter, with purple glitter, blue glitters with some golden glitters it looks like. You can see for yourself:

I have tried the matte top coat over every single glitter I own. The one's the matte top coat look the best over is the glitter with at least 2-3 different colors in it, and the glitter with the tiny glitters as opposed to some tiny glitters and some chunky glitter. Like I mentioned, it just looks like confetti that way. Either way, the matte top coat looks great over any glitter polish for something different. If your not into the matte polishes, this would be a great way to try to get into it because it's not a matte finish per say. More of a confetti finish. using it with cream polishes is so-so but it brings the glitter polishes to a whole new level! Im in love!

Do you guys like the matte polish trend?
Whats your favorite way to use a matte top coat?

thank you for reading!
all the best,

My Favorite Fall Things

It has been a very crazy start to the fall. Lots of ups and downs. October is one of my favorite months because of my birthday (the 8th!). 

I also love it for 2 more reasons: 
1) because I know this will be the last of the nicer weather to takes walks and be outside and 2) it is closer to Christmas! 

Unfortunately, the restaurant I was working at closed down at the start of October and I am at a loss *again* looking for a job. I have been praying I can get one in enough time to celebrate Christmas! It is my favorite holiday. This will be an extension of my beauty favorites. Check those out here.

Fall Favorites

Arm Candy:  
Maybe this would qualify as a beauty favorite but whatever, I already uploaded the picture here. A trend I never really got into until recently. I have been buying cheap arm candy at every chance I get! If your loving this trend too, you will love my Forever 21 jewelry purchases!

Purple Jeweled Bracelet: Walmart $1.99
Pink Gummy Watch: JC Penney $10
Black Shamballa Bracelet: 5 and Below $2.99


My Birthday:
 It was my birthday on the 8th!! Thanks to my mom for making dinner, my b/f's mom, Barb, for making me this delicious cake, my b/f Phil for the presents and taking me out to dinner (Red Lobster all you can eat shrimp! Holla!), & my bfff Alex for the pumpkins, & candle! I love you guys so much! We had a fun relaxing night, talking, drinking wine and hanging out. Alex brought the other puppies Lexi, Precious (Stella's mom), & Chloe (Stella's twin sister). It was 1 of the best birthday's yet! I was so lucky to have all of my favorite living beings there! 4 dogs & 3 other people besides myself. The dog to human ratio is sometimes at least 50/50.  Most of the time, we are out numbered by dogs at 2/4. We love our puppies!


Pumpkins:  
Alex again, thank you girl! Have yet to carve these babies! I actually kinda like them plain. They look rustic sitting on the janky back porch! LOL!


Jack-O-Lantern
These are at the Boardman Park. I guess all the school's had a competition. Some of the best 1's were done by pre-schoolers! Wow! They look awesome! One good thing about Youngstown Ohio is the parks this time of year!


 Seasonal Beer: 
I love trying seasonal beers. There's something about fall beers that gets me exited. I am usually a wine drinker any other time of the year. At my old work, they would rim the beer mug with cinnamon and sugar, then add pumpkin flavored beer. Perfect drink if your having a Halloween party! I bought a 6 pack of Sam Adams version of Octoberfest. I think that is my favorite Octoberfest beer.


Walks In The Park:  
1 of our favorite things to do is go for walks in the park. There are so many good parks around here and lately we have been going to a park called Boardman Park. For the past couple of week's, the park has been really active. On top of the Jack-O-Lantern display, all of the decorations for the witch walk are up in the trail. They had Octoberfest + they are doing pancakes with homemade maple syrup which comes from the barks of trees. Here's some cute fall pictures from 1 of our walk a couple weeks ago. The other night, there were so many leaves on the ground that you couldn't even see the path!

Favorite Fall Candle(s)

Cinnamon Sugared Donut Candle
I took back my Frosted Cupcake, which didnt smell like anything when I lit it. I exchanged it to get my favorite fall scent from B+BW. I love this! It's a spicy, sweet, sweet scent! If your not into the super spicy scents, but want to stay true to the season, give this 1 a smell! And I promise this has a high scent throw!

Favorite Candle #2:

Air Wick Candle: 
The candle Alex got me for my birthday! She knows me too well! It is from Air Wick. This candle doesn't have much of a smell, but I have been lighting it every single night because it changes colors! A perfect present, I believe, is something so gimmicky and cool that you probably would not buy it for yourself. This was right on the nose! LOL! I think this will be in some peoples Christmas boxes this year!

Favorite Nail Combo

Essie's A Cut Above:
That's the rose gold glitter you see. I love it so much. Not a great mani on my part but I had to share that gorgeous glitter again! And the light pink is from Wet n Wild from one of the older, cheaper nail polish lines. I don't know the name because it wore off and I dont recommend the polish. It got gloopy real quick. I just really love the color. Any baby pink will do for me!

Favorite Book

Helter Skelter:  
Maybe you didn't know, but I love anything having to do with criminal law. Example, some of my favorite shows are Lock Up, Forensic Files, First 48, Snapped, & The Investigators. For a short time, I wanted to become a psychiatrist for people on death row. I want to get into their minds. I also had a slight obsession years ago to know everything there was to know about the whole Manson era. If I could go back in time, I would go back to 1969 and go the Haight Ashbury District, I would attend Woodstock (I would bring food for myself! Im 1 step ahead!) & make it back in time to be at the Manson trial. You may already know I have always had a huge obsession with Hollywood + how movies are made. I love when a set looks "fake". And when it comes to Hollywood, the older the better! I just love it! I would probably have to take my time traveling device to Hollywood circa 1940's too. Im getting off subject...

Even though I watch Forensic Files and can even get into court t.v. as long as its a high profile, juicy case, court t.v. will not capture my attention for too long. I was afraid Helter Skelter was going to be reminiscent of court t.v., reciting a bunch of legal documents from the trial and I wasn't going to be able to follow- considering it was written by the prosecutor himself. There is some legal jargon, but it's really easy to read. The last book I have read this fast was My Friend Leonard. If your into criminal law, the late 60's, or your into the whole Manson trial + more: give it a read!

Favorite Puppy

Stella:  
Cant leave her out! She's a big girl now and her birthday is coming soon!1 (or 7) year(s) old! I love her. I know, I am a weird dog lady. My idea of a great birthday was having my 3 closest ppl at my house along with the 4 best dogs I know! Alex has Precious, Lexi, & Chloe. Lexi and Chloe are twinsies as they were born in the same litter. Said litter came out of Precious. Lexi's the only 1 not blood related. Lexi is also the goodest dog. The min pins are little brats! LOL! She loves other animals (kitties and puppies) but doesn't like strange people too much.
Phil holding her ears down- haha! She looks so cute and silly!
She has on a coat and a sweater: "I cant put my arms down!"lol!

 

Favorite Song

Long December
Old school, right?! How many remember this song? I used to love this song and completely forgot about it. I love when I all of the sudden remember songs I forgotten. I love any 90's rock. It is some of my favorite type of music. This song hits the spot if your craving a 90's rock song. Next song will be by Matchbox20....anyone?




Favorite T.V. Show

The Challenge.
this is my favorite show on. I have been watching it since Real World Road Rules Challenge 2000. I watch it every season & lately, have liked it more than Real World. When it is time for a new season, I always kick myself for not following the last season of the Real World a little more closely. MTV has the best reality shows in my opinion. Teen Mom. Jersey Shore. Second best would be TLC. How can I forget about Sister Wives, 19 Kids and Counting, Toddlers and Tiara's, Little People Big World, or Breaking Amish. I love t.v. This is my absolute fave show, though. This video is for the trailer.
