Busy Bumble-Bre

Sorry I haven't posted in forever! I've been working and really had nothing to say. I got paid yesterday (a whole $144!!) and went to Rite-Aid tonight to get some nail polishes. I got 6, so I will do a blog post with every color I do, when I decide to paint them that color.

I couldn't decide which color to paint first, but the color I chose I am absolutely IN LOVE with! It's by SinfulColors in the color Bamboo. I grabbed this color because it reminded me a lot of OPI's Jade is the New Black but a little bit brighter.
I couldn't get a decent swatch with my camera. It came out a LOT more blue on camera than it really is, but I still adore this color and recommend it to everyone who likes bright teal nail polishes :)

What I love about this color is that it dries very matte. I was expecting a bright color with no shimmers, but this color did have little flecks of sparkle in it (which was a nice surprise) but it dried with no shiny-ness to the top. I've never had a matte nail polish, it's a nice change. I can't stop looking at my nails! oh, I love SinfulColors so much!

I recently have been reading a book my Jodi Picoult called Plain Truth which is about an Amish community that is shaken up by a found dead infant in a barn house. I am only four chapters into it and don't ever want to stop reading!

Also, I am hooked in ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars! I watched all of the episodes earlier this week and cannot wait to see what it going to happen next! I am considering about getting the books (which will more than likely be 10xs better than the show) but I am going to wait until I get a more steady income.

Until next time I will be adoring my new nail polishes, Jeremaih, and my amazing book :)

xoxo,
Bre

First Day

I had the interview yesterday and got hired on as a substitute!! YES! I start work TODAY! I am SO happy! I hope it leads to something more! I am only working for 2 hours today, but it's better than nothing :)

It is TiffanyD's birthday. So in honor of that, I am painting my nails in Nicole by OPI's Light a Candle. A beautiful silver/lavender color. I am in love with this metalic nail color.

I couldnt get a very good swatch of this color, so I got these from
e-polishblog.blogspot.com.


This is a swatch in artificial light.


This is a swatch in the direct sunlight.

I adore this color. I have read some reviews on metalic nail polishes and a lot of people say that they like the polish to not leave brush stroak lines. For some reason, I kinda like it. It feels more edgy to me. I am very happy with this nail color, and about today :)

Back in Boise

I've been back in Boise for about three days and it feels really good to be home. I missed my little TeddyBear so much! He hasn't forgotten his mommy, which made me happy :). Anywho, I got the BEST call of my life today! My old boss Kalena called and asked me if I was still interested in a job. Uhhh, YEAH! So she game the the number of her place and told me that the boss was interested in setting up an interview! YES! I am soo happy, I could scream at the top of my lungs! Let's hope it all goes well!



^^I just like this picture. TOTALLY unrelated :D^^

Candles by Victoria

As I have mentioned before, I don't have a job. So I am just in 'wish list' land until I get a job. I love candles, but I hate the hassle of lighting them and worring about them, which is why I usually use a Scentsy. My only problem with a Scentsy is that they have a strong fragrance, but (at least to me) the fragrance only lasts about 3 hours, or as long as the first burn. I can't smell it afterwards. I have been on a hunt to find a candle that has a strong fragrance that doesn't loose it's frangrance.

I've heard about Candles by Victoria before from TiffanyD (blogspot.com/makeupbytiffanyd) and Elle Fowler (blogspot.com/allthatglitters21) and have done a little research of my own. I want these candles! They sound amazing. If I had to choose 5 top fragrances, they would be:

Peppermint Bark

This scent is described as: A Christmas time favorite but really great anytime of year. Bits of refreshing peppermint weaved inside rich and creamy white chocolate.

What gets me is the white chocolate. I LOVE white chocolate! When I go to Starbucks, I don't usually get coffee. I get a white hot chocolate. No matter what time of year. Definately a great Christmas time fragrance, which you all know that I love :)

Marshmellow Campfire


Just as the name suggests, toasted marshmellows over an open fire.

Growing up, I was the biggest tomboy. I used to wear over-alls with no shirt on until I was 8 years old, and even then it took some convincing. Needless to say, camping was pretty much my favorite thing to do. We would take the dog, and just have a get away for a weekend. One of my most visited campfire memories is when my older sister Shelby and I were roasting marshmellows together. She grabbed my stick from me (yeah, we didn't use metal pokers, we got them and cut them ourselves) and ate my perfectly toatsted marshmellow; almost half of it! I was about 6 at the time, and that just ruined the night for me. I cried until she made me a new one.

Twilight Woods


Inspired by a romantic walk in enchanted woods, Twilight Woods is a complex blend of apricot nectar, mimosa petals and Tuscan cypress.

This is a dupe for Bath&Body Works Twilight Woods. I love that scent. I am usually a vanilla type of person, but when I smelled this scent, I fell in love. I would really enjoy having this scent linger around my house.

Orange Vanilla


The perfect blend of ripe fresh oranges and sweet, smooth vanilla make this one a favorite. Orange Julius fans will love this scent.


This scent reminds me of summer. Dreamsicles are my all time favorite popsicle, so it just makes sence that I would have this candle!

Tiffany-D


TiffanyD on YouTube inspried me to create this wonderful fragrance. Colored light blue like the infamous Tiffany boxes, a beautiful mix of Watermelon, Honeydew Melon, Cotton Candy with a splash of Vanilla.

I love Tiffany! So, it just makes sence that I would want to try out her fragrance. It's perfect because I (obviously) love sweet fragrances! I'm sure this one is going to be great.

Independance Day

I love that song by Martina McBride. She is so amazing. I love her. In honor of Americas Independence, I painted my nails the blue-ish/purple I got on my late night nail polish run. It turned out a LOT better this time in the application. Last time I had to apply 4 coats for it to be opaque, but today I only had to apply two. I applied three just because, but there really was no need for it.

Here is my result for Cover Girls Boundless Colors in Violet Vision:
