Hey everyone, I'll be blogging over at Radium Girl...I'm leaving this up for you know, shits and giggles. :)

I'm trying to get back into this whole blogging on the regular and the best way to do that is to go around the interwebz and find new blogs to discover. So here's 5 of my favorite posts that I've discovered this week! By The Shore: I love her post here. It's got lovely pictures of her in the snow in a very casual outfit, which I love. I love that one of them is black and white. A lot of

Good Morrow my lovely readers! I have decided that I am cold this week even though I am in California and I have my A/C on because it's 77 degrees in my house. Yes, I know, so tragic while the rest of you freeze your butts off in subzero temperatures. But hey, why not have something pretty to look at? 1. Navy Trench | 2. McQueen Nubuck Leather Biker Jacket | 3.  Givenchy Black Toggle

I used this because it's Leighton (& because it's Blair Waldorf & everyone loves Queen B). Let me start out with the sincerest form of "I am sorry" you will ever hear. I'm not saying I'm sorry to you of course. If you are still around, if you're still reading this then I doubt you care really. I'm saying that I am sorry to myself and to my blog. Mostly my blog. Let me just say that

Loving/Hating; I am loving that I'm in California in 70 degree weather while the rest of the country freezes to death. Loving that it is nearing the Super Bowl and the two teams I follow are in the playoffs. I hate that my Colts lost to the New England Patriots and am hoping the Bronco's and Peyton stomp the Chargers and then go on to the Super Bowl. But what I really hate is that I haven't

I hope everyone will be safe today. My family and I are going to our relatives down in Redondo Beach where it is a lovely 76 degrees (as opposed to our 112 degree weather we have here) to watch the fireworks and gorge ourselves on festive eats. The 4th of July used to be one of my favorite holidays. I grew up in corn country so every 4th I used to go out and test the "Knee High by 4th of July

Loving/Hating;  Loving school but hating that it has basically left me no time to blog. :( I only go to school from 8:30-2:30 but afterwords I go to my Grams and help out there or I come home and do homework and sometimes I do homework after being at my Grams (like on swim days which are Monday's, Wednesdays and Saturdays). It doesn't leave me much time for blogging. I mean I had to

Ok so I know there was supposed to be a hair tutorial today, however I have some rather exciting news! If you didn't watch my video from the weekend where I essentially had a mental break down (don't worry I'm over it already) then you didn't hear. If you did watch it, thanks, but you already know what is coming. I AM STARTING COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL TOMORROW! As you can tell I'm uber duber

I'm going to warn you that I am writing this at the height of my emotional breakdown and that it will be full of hateful self-deprecating remarks. If you can't hang, it's best to leave now and come back on Monday when I will have some news that won't make you want to bitch slap me across the face. THIS IS ALSO GETS GRAPHIC (NC-17 / NSFW), SO KIDS LOOK AWAY. I have officially given up

So I stole this from Nessa @ A Life of Our Own, who stole it from Shelly, who has the link up on her website. *phew* That was a lot huh? Anyways, I saw this on Nessa's blog and thought it was a cute idea! Not freak out when I see a cockroach Not stand up for what I believe in Eat an insect. (I mean willingly.)

So I didn't really have an idea for what to do for this week's WWL. This kind of sprang up on me as I logged into Polyvore and saw some cute stuff and just started "hearting" everything. After awhile it finally clicked... "let's make a 'best of'... POLYVORE!" 1. Black & White Striped Skirt | 2. Sheer Floral One piece | 3. Studded Peep Toe Booties 4.

First Make Up Monday with the new format. EEEEEK! Just a little excited. If you have no clue what I am talking about you can read my previous Make Up Monday blog that explains what is going on. If you already read that, then let's continue. First Impression:  My first impression of this was based on the brand. I've tried lip gloss, lip stain and eye shadow by Kat Von D and I was not let

Like I said in yesterday's post, on Tuesday my mom, my grams and I went up to a wine tasting and then the casino and a lovely little picturesque tourist town called Solvang. Solvang is pretty much a touristy replica of what little towns look like in Denmark. I wouldn't know, I've never been but I hope it's true. Otherwise I demand a refund! My pictures are but a mere fraction of what you can see

On Tuesday my mom, my grams and I went on a little trip up the California coast and went wine tasting at the Gainey winery and then went onto Chumash Casino (it was dreadful) and after that we stopped for some picture taking in Solvang. My grams lives in a gated elderly community and they do these outings every once in a while and my mom and I like to go with my grams because whenever my grams

So.... Jewelry? Big on it or a jewelry minimalist we all at some point wear it. My tastes, as in ever subject, are varied. I like creepy, to unique, to classic but nothing too over the top. 1.

Hi guys I have decided that I would like to take on a new format for my Make Up Monday reviews. It will be a little bit more time consuming but I think it will look nicer. Weigh in the comments please! First of all each item will be graded on a scale of: No love A little love Kind of love Love ZOMG LOVE Make up will be graded on a variety of things based on the product.

I'm not sure how many of you check reviews on services or items (like on Amazon) but I think since you might often come here for my reviews on make up that you might like to be warned about something that I experienced with a company I was a long time customer of and am no longer willing to do business with. I don't know how many of you have ever worked in Customer Service but it really is a

One thing that I love about Iowa? Antiques. They are everywhere and they have auctions all the time and you can find some really neat things. My Gram's cousin took us to Pappy's in Newton. I collect Fiesta dishes thanks to my Grams and so whenever I go into a thrift store I look for them. I got some bowls in a color that I didn't have before and that was awesome. Here are a few interesting things

Hi, so I'm tardy to the party with this post. By that I mean I'm using a trend from the past, rather than the post being late. Weird huh? Anyways, I was looking through my nail polish bin and I discovered some cracked nail polish that I must have bought but never actually used. This is 20I2 in Savior over Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength Nail Polish in Black Diamond. At first I hated it. As

I mentioned earlier this week that I would be writing a blog about something personal and dear to my heart. This is that blog. This is hard for me. I am typically open and honest and while I have no qualms about sharing my bits I do typically worry about sharing things that involve other people. My family reunion was last week. One of my favorite people on the planet is my cousin Krissy.

A lot of these people I haven't seen in 13 + Years. My favorite cousin Krissy and I remarked on how we saw each other twice in one year and before that hadn't seen each other in 12 years. They visited us, now we saw them and it's their turn to come back here. Some of my cousin's children I hadn't met before or I had but they were so tiny that it didn't matter because they didn't know me.

I am going to apologize for a lot right now. I know I said I wouldn't because this is MY blog and I can do whatever I want with it (post, not post, be an idiot, ect) but I do feel guilty. I've been depressed lately. I finally found a job and then Thursday I was let go. I was consulting on a website and the decision was to close it; after me working for 2 months, busting my ass on it.

In lou of a Wednesday Want List I am going to be sharing, I mean bragging about my ability to stuff a ton of shit into a backpack for a weekend. Seriously, I will get pretty much the same amount of things in this polyvore, if not more into your standard backpack. I am pro at being a typical girl and needing a lot of shit but not needing 50 million suitcases. Especially now that even

Sometimes I like to share things I've picked up along the way. Maybe you've heard of these and maybe you haven't but hopefully these will help one of you guys out and that's what counts right?

I'm not very religious. So whenever someone says there is a picture of Jesus charred into their toast or someone experienced stigmata I kind of scoff. Last week was no different. My grandma is very Catholic, so whenever something happens like the Pope stepping down or someone see's the Virgin Mary in their wine glass she starts preaching.  Usually I tune her out but this time I decided to
