Nail Files--Neon!

The Nail Files Link Up



I was feeling the need for bright and springy this week, so when my mom and I went shopping (Ulta, obviously), I was excited to see this neon pink! :)  (So much so, that I made my husband go back with me yesterday to get more...this time, China Glaze!)


This is Orly Oh Cabana Boy! :)  I LOVE it and the picture doesn't do it justice...it's a great neon pink :).

Happy Spring and Happy Easter!

Nail Files--Spring Colors!

The Nail Files Link Up

This week I needed some spring colors, so I went with two Sally Hansen shades: Coral Reef and Deep Purple as my accent nail.  I know all eight year olds will be jealous. ;)

Nail Files...Late again! :)

The Nail Files Link Up

I'm a day late! Sorry! :)  
I typically paint my nails Sunday night for the week, but this week we had Monday off, so I painted them then :).
Zoya doesn't disappoint! :)  (But my polish application does! :).


This is Zoya's Noot (a Greenish grey?) and Essie's Beyond Cozy as an accent nail.

I'm craving bright and springy colors again, so who knows what color this week will bring! :)

Nail files! 2/15/13

The Nail Files Link Up

I have no good pictures of my nails this week! Epic fail on my part. I painted them Sunday night, and by the time I thought of it, they were too chipped to bother.
The color is great, though! It's Maura by Zoya :).

This picture doesn't do it justice!  It's the perfect orangey-red and it was lovely for Valentine's Day!

Green Monsters! And awesome purses :)

Today, we made Green Monster Smoothies! :)


This is what we did (and you can add anything you want, really!)
2-3 handfuls of spinach (washed)
1 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
1/2 cup yogurt (I used 0% chobani vanilla Greek yogurt)
1-2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 sliced banana (some say frozen, mine wasn't)
1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder (I couldn't really taste it, so I may add more)
1 tablespoon flaxseed ground ( I bought the seeds...that was a disaster!)
a few ice cubes to make it cold
I read that you should put the spinach on the bottom and the heavier items on top, so they don't fly around the blender and stick to the sides. That amount made the two glasses. I may add some cinnamon next time and more cocoa powder) Pinterest has a lot of great recipes, too, which fruit, etc 

That was what we did (and also the message I've sent people on facebook after they asked about them!)

This is what they looked like:


They were pretty tasty. I was impressed!

I'm going to try to make them the night before, and then eat them (drink them?) for breakfast. I don't have a lot of time in the morning, because I leave so early (and let's face it, I'm not exactly fully functioning that early!).

I got my new Target purses in the mail on Friday.  I took pictures.





I'm using the blue one now, and saving the mint one for when the weather is a bit nicer.  The blue one is HUGE. I love giant purses.

We also made breakfast for dinner (sorry, no pictures) and set off the smoke alarms! Because we rule.

Happy Sunday!

Snow Day Nail Files!

The Nail Files Link Up

Happy Friday/Nail Files Day! Don't forget to link up! :)

This week I had spring fever...so I decided to go with a bright color!


This is Essie's Tart Deco...it didn't translate as well in my picture (probably because I'm terrible at taking pictures and it's a phone picture...), but it's a great coral and it's long-lasting :).

I've been getting pretty spoiled...we had a snow day last Monday, and another today! Thanks, Nemo! :)

Have a great weekend!
