Day 3

Day 3 - yellow! I can say I have never had yellow nails. Never really go for that color and most of my yellows are so pale, it's boring. But, I did pick up Bananappeal from the SinfulShine line and I just love it! I didn't want to just paint them yellow. I was inspired by the awesome shade to do a little nail art. Ok, it's not my best work, but I'm still learning. Poor Homer looks a little wonky, but hey, it's all for fun:)


Day 2

Again, delayed. I was half way finished with this post last, then, I fell asleep. It's been that kind of week so far. Anyways, day 2 was orange. I didn't have to get fancy with it but I found a new color that kicks butt! I picked up a couple of the Sinful Colors, SinfulShine polishes the other day and this cutie was one of them. Man, so far I'm loving this line from them. Patent Pleasure is a beautiful sheer shimmer that's very build able. It's hard to capture how pretty it is. I would say in natural light, it is a tangerine prance with pretty gold shimmer. These were done with 2 coats. And yes, no need for a top coat. These pretties have a wicked shine. If you are interested in trying the SinfulShine line, now is a great time to pick a couple up. Walgreens is running a sale on them for $2. Normally, they are $2.99. Plus they released some new colors that are super cute!

Day 1- (delayed) Red nails

Yesterday was a super busy day but I did find time to do the first day of Chalkboard Nails 31 day challenge. Day 1 was red! I was surprised how little red I have. But I chose my favorite red and one of my favorite polishes. Hey Sailor from the China Glaze Anchors Away 2011 spring line. I adore that collection! HS is so ..... I don't know. I can't put my finger on it. Such a pretty bright , nautical red. But not too bright. Beautiful shine. Looks a little jelly to me. Anyways, I was in a retro, nautical mood yesterday so I added a cute little anchor stamp as accent nails. Luckily my stamper plate was not doing what I wanted, and it came out cute and vintage looking.

Sinful Colors sale

Huge news for us Sinful Colors fans! I just checked out the sneak peek ad for Walgreens that starts this coming Sunday and SC will be .99! This does exclude the diamond lust and gel polish. I thought the 2/$3 was a good deal. This is a great time to stock up on favorites, or pick up the new collections. If you find the Leather Luxe line, grab them! They wicked awesome!!:)

Slim-Fast Strawberries ’N’ Cream Shake review

Hello lady!  Let me share one of my all time favorite things. Sli!m-Fast! I love it love it! I've tried so many diets through the years and one of the most successful plans is the Slim-Fast diet. I usually just use the shakes and I really have noticed and decreased  the sweet craving when using this. I normally drink the Rich Chocolate Royale ones, but I was sent a Slim-Fast VoxBox recently from Slim-Fast and Influenster. They sent the Slim-Fast shake in Strawberries 'N' Cream, a super cute martini glass and fun Slim-Fast-tini recipes(found here) to try with all flavors offered. The strawberry is super yummy! Nice to have a change from the chocolate.  Other flavors that are available are, Cappuccino Delight and French Vanilla. I love the new bottle design. They used to come in cans, which to me seemed to give me for of an aftertaste and I never failed to knock it over and spill half of it. Yes, I'm a super clutz. The bottle is shaped nice which makes it easier to hold and also makes it really great for on the go. I can close the cap and not worry:) Each shake has only 180 calories, 10 grams of protein (good for those sexy muscles) and 5 grams of fiber.With 2 shakes a day I get tons of vitamins and it helps me suppress the munchie urges that really can through you diet off track. I prefer the shakes to be chilled but warm is fine too. I mixed some berries into one, and it made it even better! Plus you are getting more good things in your body:) I can usually lose about 10 pounds in about 2 months with the mixture of 2 shakes a day, healthy meal choices and some light cardio. The one drawback to the new shakes is that they only seem to come in 4 packs, where the cans came in a case of 8 or 6 if I remember correctly. Regardless, even if you are not  dieting, Slim-Fast shakes are a great way to start your day and keep on track of a healthier lifestyle. Check them out! I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
