What I Love About Sunday

As always, the weekends go by so fast. However, the nice weather we've been having has giving me the chance to spend some time outside and soak up the sun - which I, and Brutus, love.

Friday Favorite

Of all the products that I love trying and the clothes and colors I've become obsessed with, right now my favorite thing is our new dog, Brutus. We adopted Brutus from a local SPCA. At first, I was totally against adopting; who knows what they've already learned, where they have been, if they're aggressive or why they are there. But when I walked into the room where Brutus was and watched him sit calmly as all of the other dogs were barking and jumping, I knew he couldn't be that bad. We picked up Brutus yesterday; we're all still new to each other and learning each others habits, but I know we did the right thing in adopting him. He's a big teddy bear that loves to cuddle, and I'm looking forward to the walks, tricks and lazy days that we get to spend with him.

Decor Daydreams

While wishing this work week would move more quickly, I've been daydreaming of home decor. Before officially choosing the college I attended, I was extremely close to choosing an interior design program at a different school. The passion for decorating a room has never went away; sometimes I find an end table, curtains and decorative pillows more tempting than a new pair of shoes. Here are just a few of the things I'm loving right now:

Week Two

Week two's progress. I'm noticing some growth, but not much. Perhaps this will be the week that the polish's nutrients and silica set in? Fingers crossed.  ;)

Go Nude

With everything getting a splash of color for the spring, there are some things that will be left untouched. Nude lips are in this spring, and Sephora has the step by step tutorial to perfect the look. What I am guilty of (and rarely ever do) is not exfoliating my lips. Just like your face, your lips should be exfoliated and conditioned; I have a slight lip balm obsession, so the conditioning part is covered. Next, prime your lips with concealer. This will ensure your lipstick stays longer, and will remove any natural red or pink tint you may have. Line your lips with a nude lip liner, and blend inward. Apply a matte nude lipstick of your choice, making sure your lines are precise and you're getting full coverage. The last step - which is for extra coverage - is to dust a transluscent powder over the top of your lips.

This is a perfect lip to go with the bright yellows, mint greens and corals that I hope to soon be wearing.

Week One

Sunday marked the end of week one for my trial with Butter London's Horsepower. I'm seeing some results, but nothing spectacular just yet (I'm a very impatient person). The urge to paint my nails with bright corals and peach polishes that have come out for spring have come on strong, but I still feel the need to give this nail fertilizer its fair shot.
