personal intervention...nail polish

hi, my name is Lauren, and I'm addicted to nail polish...

it's true, one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday night, is to give myself a nice little manicure...just something to make my hands feel pretty, and to start the week on a good note...I obviously can't afford to have my nails done, and quite frankly, the process of having someone else file my nails gives me chills just thinking about it...but anyway...

I have a nice collection of nail polish- but lately I've been getting emails from Sephora, and they have these adorable mini nail polish sets...so you can try lots of colors without buying a whole big bottle!  and now, they even have colors inspired by Glee, one of my very favorite shows...

I'm a sucker for color combinations, and these are some of my most recent favorites...

one of my awesome Christmas presents?  this mega mini nail polish set!

movie review - Despicable Me

I am such a sucker for cartoon movies...especially ones with cute little yellow minions, who speak a squeaky gibberish language, and wear goggles...

 

but this movie is definitely adorable...the orphans who warm the villain's heart, the dim-witted amateur villain in training...ballet and cookies...what's not to love!?  this is a movie not just for kids, but adults alike...I might go watch it again right now actually...

Thursday's Shoe Story

for a long time I rebelled against the ugg-ly boots...I think it was the whole worn by all the celebrities...in California...in July that got to me...also the cost...they looked comfy, but I really couldn't justify spending over $100 for a pair...

but then back in December, when I was home in NJ for Christmas, I happened to stop in Old Navy, where they had on sale...for $12...these boots...

I had tried on a few pair in Payless, and never really thought I could pull them off...I didn't have the right pants, they looked like they didn't fit...etc...


these were different though...they were like little clouds, little pillows for my feet...so very unbelievably soft and comfortable (not to mention the price was right!) so they were finally mine...

and now I wear them all the time, and I feel the weather starting to turn...it's going to be in the 50's this weekend, which means time to dust off the flip flops, and retire these boots till the fall...because you will never see me wearing them with shorts or a skirt...and if you do...you have permission to hit me :)

Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.



















Happy Birthday to Dr Seuss...a true inspiration to me!
