Pinterest Favs #2

Pinterest and I have become very close pals over the last year. I pin quite frequently and find it so useful for organizing cosplay ideas, recipes to try, cool fashion finds, and cute artwork. There’s a Pinterest Favs post here that I did awhile back. So here’s #2 in this series!

How cute is this Myth Congeniality Skirt from Mod Cloth? There’s a matching top you can get, too!

I am in love with these My Little Pony leggings from We Love fine. These come in bigger sizes, too, which I think is great.

I googled the tag on this photo since Pinterest didn’t take me to a source and @Pants is Josh Mecouch who is a cartoonist for Mad magazine! He has other cool art on his website.

Beauty blog Phyrra had tons of other fantastic polishes posted, but I loved the colors in this one!

Pinterest is a great place to find Animal Crossing QR codes. I found this one by Raspberry-Jam-Heaven of Elsa from Frozen. There’s also a code for Anna’s dress on her deviantArt!

To continue with the Frozen theme, I totally said “awww” when I saw this picture of Olaf. The source is Instagram user @disney_life_for_me. I started following them right away!

Happy Things #9

Here’s the latest Happy Things post! Oh how happy these things make me! 😛

This is the sweetest little table from the Frisco Mercantile.

Eating at Casa Rita’s is fun when the little sopapillas look like butts!

The drive-thru guy at Jimmy John’s was asking about my tattoos.. and I may have batted my eyelashes a few times, too. He gave me a free cookie 😛

A little personal enjoyment is getting my nails done. I do love painting them myself but the polish never lasts with my hands always in the water.

Found this cutie on the counter at a new restaurant called Tasty Garden.

It was that time again! Free piece of chocolate at Godiva once a month with a membership. I got a strawberry truffle.

Hard to tell in the photo but these pretty trees were sprinkling their white flowers on my car while I waited in line at Starbucks.

My hair is finally getting to my shoulders.. it’s fun having longer hair for a change.

And I am super happy to have an official sign outside my salon now!

Pinterest Enthusiast

As most females are these days, I am quite the Pinterest enthusiast. I have 26 boards of different themes that I enjoy “pinning” inspirational or creative photos to. Most of the time I am pinning hair and fashion ideas. But it’s a great place to organize your favorite pics of any category. Here are some of my recent favorites!

Pinterest would be a great tool for a dating website. It shows places I want to visit, my favorite foods, my style,  favorite music and things I love to geek out to! It’s all about me! If you don’t agree with my pins then we probably aren’t a good match 😛 

It’s also great because it will usually take you to the source of each photo. So if you see a hair tutorial you like you can click the pic and it’ll link you to it’s original website. All the above photos can be found on my Pinterest and most have the source attached. Do you have a Pinterest account? Recommend any I should follow?

Nailed It – Blue and Glitter Ombre

This nail design was pretty messy, but very cute! I painted on a clear base coat, then one layer of Sinful’s Midnight Blue polish. Once dried, I did another layer of blue polish and quickly sprinkled some of Martha Stewarts craft glitter near the cuticle and moved slowly toward the tip of the nail. This creates an ombre effect which is quite popular these days!

Nailed It

Decided to paint my toe nails today ..  

These are the tools I use first when I give myself a manicure or pedicure. I got a pretty nice set when I went to cosmetology school. It’s important to clean up your cuticles and always buff before you paint them. It makes the surface look a lot cleaner.

These are the polishes I used. I finished it off with a clear top coat, too.

Tada! 🙂

Nailed It

Late last night I couldn’t fall asleep so I had a mini manicure session. I like to keep my nails as short as I can so it’s easier for me to shampoo my client’s hair. (Something feels weird when I’m scratching people’s head with long nails). I used some old polish from Sally Hansen. It has my name written on the bottles from when I would take them to cosmetology school.

I love doing multi-colors .. It’s so funky!

I was inspired by my toes that I did last week. This was OPI.
