Tuesday Questionnaire? #what May 21, 2013

I was going to start this off with saying happy Monday, but folks it's not Monday, it's Tuesday! I know some of you guys are probably confused as to why I'm posting this on Tuesday instead of Monday. Yesterday I didn't have internet! As shown in the picture below, I didn't have power, internet, and I couldn't get out of the driveway. Let me explain. Sunday night some severe storms rolled through my area. There was a huge gust of wind (the news said it was about 65 mph) hit and I (being the weather nerd that I am) was looking out the door (I know, not the safest thing to do) and saw the tree limbs fall down and hit another tree which caused quite the mess in the driveway. So the power went out and my family and I thought we'd probably have lights back on that evening. Nope. Try 8am the next day. Yeah. Even though I was pretty frustrated because I was stuck in the house most of the day yesterday, and I didn't have internet, I'm thankful that nobody was hurt and the only damage was the trees falling down. It could've been much worse. Speaking of much worse situations, I'm sure you guys have heard or seen what's going on in Moore, Oklahoma. A really sad and scary situation. I know what it's like to lose loved ones in a tornado. Continuing to pray for everyone there and for everyone who has recently been affected by tornados. 

So anyways, that's what I've been dealing with. Oh and I didn't mention up there that when the phone company came to restore the phones, they cut the cable that was for everyones TV and internet line. So when the internet and TV people got here today, I'm sure they had quite the surprise of seeing that the line was cut haha. 

The picture I posted kind of shows what my driveway looked like. Quite the mess! 

1. Mood:

Stressed. 

That's all. I'm just stressed. And tired.

2. Mint green -- love it or leave it?

OMG I'm obsessed with mint green right now. Mint green nail polish especially. Also, I'm on the hunt for a mint green purse, but I can't find one anywhere! Let me know if you guys have seen any mint green bags out there. :) 

3. What's the one thing that you feel makes the biggest difference in your makeup look?

Filling in my brows. They're kind of sparse in some places, and when they're filled in they just draw attention to my eyes. And I just like how they look when they're filled in. They're even then haha.

4. Current nail polish?

Essie Avenue Maintain. NOTD post coming soon! :)

5. Have you ever been lost in the woods?

I've never been lost in the woods, but I've gotten lost in the pasture before. It was kinda scary, but then I just kept walking and found a familiar place and that helped me know where I was. I have to say though, when I was lost I was afraid that a coyote would get me or something. :P

6. Favorite comic strip?

I've never been fan of comics.

7. What's one of your favorite snack items?

This is hard for me because I'm quite the snacker! Right now I'm really loving granola. I bought the Bear Naked chocolate granola and it's super yummy. I'm also really loving Luna bars right now! I don't think I have a favorite one of those.

8. What's a recent purchase that you're currently loving?

I recently found the Nivea lip butters at CVS and bought one in Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss. I'm loving them! It smells really good too. :)

9. Something that annoys you?

Repeating myself. I absolutely hate repeating myself. If y'all didn't hear me the first time, chances are you weren't even listening to me. And that just bugs the crap out of me. 

10. Weekly goals:

This week I just need to get caught up on everything that I didn't get to work on when the power was out!

-----

Hope you guys have a great week! I know my week will be much better now that I have internet haha. But Friday and Saturday there's a chance of severe weather here again. :( But it's spring so that's just what happens. Anyways, hope y'all have a good week!

-Chelsea

Nail Of The Day: Essie Watermelon

I'm back with a nail of the day post! Today I'm with one of my favorite colors for spring, Essie's Watermelon. I'm not really sure what collection this is from. I just saw it Target and thought that it would be pretty for the spring or summer time. I'm a huge fan of Essie polishes, and never have any problems with them. I would describe this color as a hot pink, but some people call it a red. You can kind of see a little bit of red, but I'm still sticking with calling it a hot pink.

In the picture I have on 2 coats of polish. And the picture was taken in natural lighting. 

I found this color at Target for around $8.

What do you guys think of this color? Would you wear it? Tell me in the comments!

Monday Questionnaire: May 13th, 2013

I don't know about how you guys feel, but I feel like Monday got here awfully quick this time. And let me tell you guys, I did NOT want to get out of my bed this morning! Anyways, today I've just been catching up on things around the house. I've been vlogging every day in May and that's kind of stressing me out. I also gave my dog Frosty a bath. She's been doing this thing where she rolls in bird poop now. She's just started this, and I'm just so annoyed with it. But since she's cute, I guess I can't really get too mad at her. :P

1. Mood:

Tired. I'm like exhausted today. No matter how much coffee I drink, I just can't get woke up.

2. How do you feel about music festivals?

I love them! 

I went to Warped Tour last year and I had so much fun! I'd like to go to Coachella, but I wasn't able to go this year. I just love music festivals because you get to see a whole bunch of your favorite bands in one day.

3. Do you have very many baby pictures of yourself?

I have a boatload of pictures haha! My dad loved taking pictures, and being that I'm my parents only child, I think that's why he took SO many of me. Maybe I get my love for taking pictures from my dad? Anyways, here's a couple of my favorite baby pictures that I found. :) 

4. Current nail polish:

Essie - Watermelon. NOTD post coming soon! 

5. One piece of makeup you wore last weekend?

I started using my Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadow in Barely Beige again. Haven't used it since last fall. Sadly, it's limited edition. :( 

6. Have you ever been on a road trip in an RV?

No, I haven't. And I'm kind of glad that I haven't. I get really car sick and I'm pretty sure I would get really sick in an RV. 

But I would like to go on a road trip soon, even though I have my problem of getting car sick. Hoping I can get the fam rounded up and go on one this summer!

7. Do you believe you have a sixth sense about anything? 

I don't know... I've had this thing ever since I was a child, of where I'd have a dream and then a few days later what I saw in my dream happened in real life. I don't know if that's really anything, because a lot of people say that they have this happen to them. 

8. Is there a color of clothing you wear more than others?

Black! It's slimming and you can make it casual or dress it up. Butttttttt I have to keep a lint roller VERY close because I have white dogs. White hair and a black shirt just doesn't mix. 

9. Are you wearing any jewelry today?

Nope! I'm just bumming it around the house, so I didn't really want to wear jewelry today.

10. Weekly goals:

Finish writing project, finish reading Divergent, workout, film, and blog!

NEW Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows for Summer 2013: Review & Swatches!

I'm so excited for todays blog post! I've been seeing these Maybelline eyeshadows being talked about online for quite awhile now, and let me tell you guys, I've looked everywhere for these. I finally found them and I'm so excited to tell you guys about them! These colors are gorgeous and different than any cream shadows I've seen. Some of the colors in this collection are duochrome. Just want to go ahead and get this out there, these are limited edition. 

I picked up two out of the six shades. The ones that I picked up are Lavish Lavender (a gray lavender - it's not a duochrome) and Cool Crush (an icy blue/purple/silver duochrome). The camera doesn't do these colors justice.

The other colors in the collection are Seashore Frosts (blue/green/golden duochrome), Shady Shores (yellow/gold duochrome), Waves Of White (white/purple/blue duochrome), and Icy Mint (the name pretty much says what it is). 

Cool Crush, Lavish Lavender

I tried to swatch these, but my camera just wouldn't pick them up very well because of the shimmer in them. To swatch these, I applied about two light coats. Just like every cream shadow, if you want good coverage you'll have to build them a little bit.  

Lavish Lavender, Cool Crush

These are pretty hard to find. I finally found them at Kmart. I know some people have said that they found them at Bed Bath & Beyond. I checked there and the employee that helped me laughed at me for asking about makeup. Apparently my BB&B doesn't sell makeup. :P So I'd just check around at drug stores. So far my Target doesn't have them. I'm sure they will get them eventually. Remember, these are limited edition. 

I found these for $6.59 at Kmart. I've heard that BB&B has them for $4.99! 

Cool Crush, Lavish Lavender

What do you guys think of this collection? What are your thoughts on duochrome shadows? Tell me in the comments! :)

Nail Of The Day: Essie Big Spender

I'm back today with another Nail Of The Day post! Today I wanted to share with you Essie's Big Spender nail polish. This is from their 2013 spring collection. I'm not really sure how you would describe this color. It's kind of like a dark pink mixed with a dark purple. It's a super pretty color that would look great in the summer and spring. I applied 2 coats and I feel like that's a good amount for this polish. 2 coats allows you to get maximum color payoff.

I found this color at Target for around $8! This can be found anywhere that Essie polishes are sold.

What do you guys think of this color? Would you wear it? Tell me in the comments! :)

Monday Questionnaire: April 29th, 2013!

Happy Monday everyone! Today I am fighting a headache. I've had an on and off headache since Saturday. Kind of annoying. I think it's just sinuses. Today as I type this, I'm sitting outside. It's B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L today. But Thursday night there is a chance of snow. We go from 80 degrees to snow Thursday night. I guess that's just Missouri for you haha. I think it'll finally be summer by July? Maybe. Todays picture is one that I took last week of a squirrel in my backyard. I was surprised that I got a picture of him (or her..?) because my dog was about ready to chase him (her? it?) away. This is probably my new favorite picture. 

1. Mood:

Yucky. I've been fighting this headache stomach sickness thing for like a week now. It's one of those things that if you don't do anything, it really bothers you. But if you get out of the house then it's like you get your mind off of it so it doesn't bother you as much. Right now it's really bothering me. :(

2. Which side of the bed do you sleep on?

I sleep on the left side of the bed. Well when I'm actually laying in bed I'm on the right side. If that makes sense. And something that I've noticed about myself is that I always have to sleep on the side that's closest to the door. I have no idea why haha.

3. This summer, I hope to _ _ _ _ _,

Enjoy everyday. I want summer 2013 to be the best one ever. I want to hang out with friends, maybe fall in love, just have a blast. Well, the fall in love might be too wishful. I don't think that's going to happen. 

4. Current nail polish: 

Essie - Big Spender. Nail Of The Day post coming soon! :)

5. When was the last time you visited a museum?

I don't even know. It was a looooooong time ago. 

6. Have you ever lost your phone?

I've "misplaced" it around the house before, but I've never (*knock on wood*) really lost my phone. I would seriously freak if I did. That would be up there with losing my wallet!

7. What kind of cake would you like for your birthday?

Cake sounds pretty yummy right now! Um, I'm not sure what kind I'd like. Lately I'm really into chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. So I think that would be the cake that I would want.

8. Favorite four places to get your grub on in your town?

I just have one favorite place and that is Cheddar's! They have amazing food and they have great vegetarian options. 

9. What are a couple of reasons you like to wear makeup?

I'm a believer in that makeup enhances what is already beautiful. I don't think of makeup as something that covers up your natural beauty, it just enhances it. Makeup makes me feel confident. And wearing makeup can really make a person feel good. 

10. Weekly goals:

This week my goal is to start working on organizing my makeup and maybe start using some products that I don't really use too often anymore.

Hope everyone has a fabulous week! :) Like usual the questions will be listed below. Make sure to comment with your answers to these questions!

Nail Of The Day: Essie Bond With Whomever!

Hi guys! Today I'm here with a nail of the day. Been awhile since I've posted one. Today I wanted to share with you one of my new favorite polishes for Spring/Summer. This is Essie's Bond With Whomever. This is from the Spring 2013 collection. I really like this color. It's a really perfect lavender for Spring. 

I reccomened using 2 coats of polish, which is what I do for every nail polish. And this polish lasts awhile. I've had this on for a week and I've only had a little chip, as shown in the picture. 

I got this at Target for roughly $8. This nail polish can be found anywhere that Essie is sold.
