Happy 4th!

Here's a quick mani I did for the Fourth of July, Independence Day here in the states.I used OPI O'Hare and Nails Look Great (red) Sally Hansen Blue It (duh, blue) and China Glaze White on White (guess which color that was). My nail art skills are that of a wee baby but I had fun regardless. Did you do any fun manicures for 4th? I'd love to see them! Hope y'all had a great holiday and see ya soon!! 




It's alive!!!

I mean I'm alive! I just saw how neglected my poor little blog is and have decided this needs remedied. Stat! So I'll start with a random tag to help ya get to know me better :)

1. What's your favorite color?
Purple, hands down. I love all the beautiful colors of the rainbow but let's be honest. Ya gotta have a favorite.
2. What's your favorite number?
I know it sounds cliche but honestly it's 13. It has been forever, before I knew all the bad luck juju muh gumbo about 13. It's even stranger to know that it's my favorite number considering how anal retentive I am about even numbers. I have to take an even number of steps. I always have my car radio volume on an even number. I know, it's a bit wonky.
3. What is your dream career?
I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Yeah, I'm aware I'm 33 but I'm still waiting on the whole grown up bit.
4. Where do you see yourself living when you're on your own?
Um, I'm technically a grown up so...
5. Where is your favorite place to travel?
I love to go to the beach. Destin, Florida to be exact. Nothing compares to the sugar sand beaches and crystal clear blue water.
6. What do you do in your free time?
I play World of Warcraft, read, sing, watch way too much British tv, ya know, the usual.
7. Favorite stores? 
Ulta, Sephora, Sally's Beauty Supplies
8. Dream car?
I used to always want a Volkswagen bus when I was a teen, and every time I see one on the road I drool. But that seems like a crappy dream car so I'll go with this.
E71 BMW X6 SAV
9. What TV shows can't you live without?
Here's where you'll learn I'm a nerd. Doctor Who, The Vicar of Dibley, Home Movies, Archer, Psych, Being Human (U.K.) ummmm, I may need to come ad to this list later!
10. 3 things you need in your life are...
God
Family
Coffee

11. I can't sleep without...?
Distractions. I love to listen to a sermon, or the Bible or even a tv show on my iPad just so I have something to ignore.
12. If you were given 1 million dollars all for yourself what would you do with it?
Start a homeless shelter in my county. There isn't one and we have a very real homeless problem. Our county just chooses to ignore it and send them off to Atlanta.
13. I have a celebrity crush on...?
Just one?! I have a top ten list on Pinterest but I'll just say Johnny Depp so I don't seem like a floosy!
14. What is your favorite treat to eat?
Anything peanut butter and chocolate.
15. My favorite wild animal is...
Frogs! I have a red eyed tree frog tattoo on my foot. I've had an thing for frogs since middle school.
16. What is your favorite season?
Fall. Not too hot, not too cold, allergies aren't "quite" as bad and I just love the crisp feeling in the air when you walk outside on fall morning.
17. My favorite childhood shows were...
Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, The Smurfs, Gem and the Holograms, Rainbow Brite. Yeah, I was a child of the 80s.
18. Why did you start blogging? 
I started way back on MySpace just doing notes. It was a way to get my feelings out there and off my chest. I was encouraged by friends to keep it up when they said my posts were inspirational. Now it has kind of morphed into this makeup/ spiritual/ pointless thing that gets NO love :(
19. What do you hold close to your heart? 
Family and memories. Having lost my mother and my father in law at young ages, I appreciate how important it is to treasure the time you have with the people you love. They may or may not be related to you. I have chosen "framily" whom I love dearly and consider myself closer to than some people I'm related to. And I think that's okay. God gives us what and who we need when we need it!
20. What is one music artist that you are in love with?
Tori Amos. Duh. My obsession with her began in 1992 with the release of Little Earthquakes and I can't tell you how many times I've seen her live. Her music always has had a way of speaking to me right where I am.

So that's it. Some random stuff about me. If you want to tag yourself do it!! Let me know, I'd love to hear more about you too!!!
