Spring Nail Polishes!!

Where I live, the weather report and the season are never quite the same . . . yesterday it was sunny and warm . . . today it's clowdy with winds blowing at probably 30MPH, no joke. So when I went to Sally's to get some spring nail polishes today, I was faily disapointed with the weather. Luckily, I had my hair in an up-do so it wasn't getting all over my face :)

I went to Sally's a couple weeks ago and got two polishes that I adored by Orly. One was called Green Apple and the othe was Butterflies. I did my manicure with Butterflies on all of my fingers but my ring fingers. Unfortunately, Butterflies turned out to be a jell consistancy, so I returned it and got the most fabulous blue.



*Quote from All Lacqured Up about Green Apple* :
Green Apple is a vivid lime creme. The bottle color is very deceptive in that the polish dries darker on the nail. It has an almost pastel quality that goes away once applied. And holy pigmentation batman!! I barely needed two coats, it just flows on the nail so perfectly. If you’re looking for a fun spring green, this one is definitely a winner.

I dragged Jeremiah along with me, just because. I couldn't decide on what color to swap it out for. I told him I wanted a creme base (which took a bit for him to understand) and I told him what ones I was leaning toward. Out of his frustration to me for not letting him go to Radio Shack, he kept going "Here's one" or "How about this one?" Then, he did it. He found The One.

Orly: Blue Collar

I love this color of blue! My picture is a bit blurry (or just crappy, I had to brighten it a lot), but I don't care! It's fabulous! This is a two-coater, but they dry super fast and have amazing shine. I love this color and Green Apple as well. :D

YEY for spring!

Spring Cleaning

. . . in March? Well, not really. I'm doing laundry right now. On a Friday night. I'm cool.


....


....


Anyway. I had just completed my FAFSA (4 days late!!! oh no!!) and decided to do some laundry. I got to thinking about how energizing it is when everything is clean. It's an amazing feeling. Which is very hypocritical of me to say. These are pictures of my apartment. As of March 4th, 2011:

This is my kitchen. On a VERY regular basis.





This is my Living Room. Where we store things apparently.





Bathroom. All me.




UN-MADE BED!! [my Cabela's hat]

I don't know why I'm such a messy person . . . who likes to clean?

Acutally it's not that I like cleaning per se, it's just that when I get in the mood for it I REALLY get in the mood for it. And then it makes me super happy knowing that tomorrow I'm going to wake up with clean laundry. And that's all.

Well, on to the rest of the apartment :)

Coffeeeeee!!

I've NEVER been a huge coffee drinker until Jeremiah came into my life. He couldn't start his day without it and I never understood why until I started drinking it. I drink my coffee flavored and 'white'. I absolutely despise coffee with just milk and sugar.
Gag me!
I have it with as much creamer to just barely cover the taste of the coffee, but I can still taste it a little. And, as I have mentioned before, my favorite creamer is Creme Brulee by the brand CoffeeMate. LOVE their creamers.

Anyway. I am drinking coffee with that creamer in my favorite cup:


(isn't she a bute?:D )


And I got the thinking about how amazing my life is. I have a wonderful boyfriend whom which things are going GREAT with. I have the best dog I've personally ever had (I've had a better dog before but she wasn't mine; she was my step dads). I've got a job doing what I love and just got a promotion and now make more money and am, therefore, not so stressed on bill and such. Life is going really well for me and I just wanted to share that.

Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Summer Project

I was stumbeling (stumbleupon.com) and I came across this:

http://carinascraftblog.wardi.dk/2009/06/granny-square-joining-tutorial.html

MY SUMMER PROJECT.


It's a granny square blanket. Which I want for my house. Badly. Badly. BADLY! The only downside is that I don't crochet, I knit. So I'm either gonna have to learn how to crochet or learn how to do this with knitting needles. I bet it's possible.

:)

BTW: I just watched the superbowl because I wanted to watch Glee right after it :D

Christmas Eve

It's Dec. 24, 2010. My favorite time of the year. I have today off from work and I am enjoying my relaxing time with Jeremiah's mom and my dog. Jeremiah was supposed to have today off but got called into work :( oh well. He get's off in 2.5 hours so I'll get to see him today.

With the year almost being over I've realized some things:

1. A year of being with someone really isn't that long.
2. NEVER GIVE UP.

As I have mentioned in a video, I suffer from major depression. Well, I think it's seasonal, but who knows? Without going into details, I am very thankful to still have life. It is amazing. Just sayin...


xoxo,
Bre

GOD BLESS!

Mama

I just wanted to mention how much I love my mom. She is the best lady I've ever known. Sometimes I wish I hadn't moved out but I honestly think that if I hadn't that I wouldn't, I guess, 'love' her as much as I do now.

Mommy. I love you and I can't wait to see you Saturday!


*my twin, mommy, and me on graduation day!*

Good day for me :]

Today has been a great day. Well, actually it's been good since I got home from work which was two hours ago; I've had a great two hours! ;) I came home and finished season two of Friends and painted my nails this beautiful color. It's by Sally Hansen; Complete Salon Manicure collection. It's called Gray by Gray. It's gorgeous. In the bottle it looks like a muted blue grey but in person it's wayy prettier.

The color comes out the same but it's a lot more attention getting than the other blue's I've had. I love it! Also, it has the amazing brush that formes to fit finger nails. Yeah. Amazing!

This picture shows the color as being a LOT more grey than it really is. But then again it is 9:00PM and I don't have access to natural lighting after 5PM thanks to day light savings. :/



This is the best I could get :)

One other thing that made me have a great past 2 hours was what I got in the mail. Any guesses?


Aw yeeeeah!

I'm gonna be better than Mrs. Weasley herself pretty soon :] oooh haha just kidding. That's not possible.
