O.P.I. Rapid-Dry Spray

This is a RAVE of the O.P.I. Rapid-Dry Spray for nails. It is essentially a nail polish dryer that is applied onto the nails "45 seconds after the final coat of nail polish." I mist on quite a bit, even probably over-doing it! I'm sure that a single spray on each nail would work perfectly fine, but I tend to do two or even three sprays. This stuff is amazing though. I polish my nails frequently because I don't like the look of chipped polish, and also because I tire of one color very easily. It used to be such a hassle, and even a little time consuming. But I found this product at my local Trade Secret a few months ago, and I cannot be without it! My nails are completely dry after two or three minutes. I am still careful to make sure I don't bump them on anything for a few minutes afterwards, but I think that is mainly due to years of nicking manicures because the polish was still tacky. I must also mention that the smell of this is wonderful! It has a floral scent that I just love. The only downside I find with it is the price. I paid $10.95 for a 2 Fl.Oz. bottle at Trade Secret. However, I was in another beauty supply store just last week and found the same bottle was $8.95 there. I will be repurchasing very soon because I am almost out but I will go back to the store with the cheaper price tag. I highly recommend this product for all the nail polish addicts out there!

This is such a sweet award! It was given to me by Crystal from http://www.lipglossgossip.com/. As always, thank you! I am supposed to give ten facts about myself and then tag ten blogs. so here it goes:

1) My mother is mexican(from Guadalajara) and my father is english, german, and irish. People ask me frequently "what nationality" I am. I used to get a little bothered by that question, but not anymore.

2) I usually sleep with the t.v. on. Since it doesn't have a timer on it, I wake up at 4 in the morning with infomercials blaring!

3) When I was a kid, I was very into singing and dancing. I belonged to a youth group that performed plays, and my friends and I would put on shows for our parents on a weekly basis.

4) I am very particular on how I do my laundry. Therefore, no one touches my clothes besides me!

5) I have a fear of public speaking. In fact, I have to do a presentation in one of my classes next week, and I am terrified!

6) I love animals, especially dogs. Every dog I have ever owned has been a rescue dog. If I had the means, I would fund a no-kill animal shelter. I just have so much sympathy for animals. They are truly innocents.

7) I cannot stand bad drivers!!!! I definitely have that California road rage.

8) Old shows like "I Love Lucy" are my favorite! Sometimes I wish I had lived in a different time.

9) I am an only child, no brothers or sisters ;( I wish I had siblings though! Someone to fight with...or shop with ;)

10) I am head over heels in love with my boyfriend. We plan on marrying in the future, after I graduate college <3

Another fact: I do not always follow directions! I am supposed to tag ten other blogs, but I want to tag anyone/everyone who wants to share a little more about themselves.

Birthday Love...From My Loves

These are gifts from my boyfriend, best friend, and mom :) I love the Philosophy "Unconditional Love" perfume from my boyfriend. It smells like sweet candy, but is still very light. The Sephora bag contained a gift card with a pretty nice amount in it! I can't wait to use it.


On closer examination, this little heart necklace was a present from my friend Katie. I wore it on my birthday and received sweet compliments.


I also got two things from CherryCulture.com: A NYX blush in the infamous "Angel" and a NYX Bronzer Compact in "Daydream of Lanai." Nothing but pure love with these!

Yay for M.A.C!!!

I was just browsing Temptalia.com and practically screamed when I found out that 3 cremesheen glasses are being repromoted for their holiday collection! I HAVE to get my hands on Ever So Rich and Boy Bait. I have been looking high and low for these, but they were the most popular ones and very hard to come by! You all know I have a love affair with my Fashion Scoop...unfortunately, that one will not be repromoted. But that's alright, I still have two back-ups ;)

Fabulous Fashion Find!

Last week, I started my last year of college, woo-hoo! Finally! I cannot wait to be a college graduate and obtain my bachelor's degree after years of studying, writing, and stressing! The only problem with this semester is that I have a four hour gap in between classes. Ugh! Instead of doing something productive with that time, I undoubtedly wind up going shopping off-campus. Not good! But I did manage to go to the Nordstrom Rack a couple exits down the freeway from school, and I am so happy that I did. I found the coolest pair of Michael Kors platforms! They are black patent leather, with cork high heels. The heels are so high, but they are actually very comfortable because of the platform feature. This is my first pair of "designer" shoes and I am addicted! They were originally 150 dollars, reduced to 82 dollars, then reduced again to 54. What a steal! I am planning on wearing these tomorrow night when my boyfriend takes me out for my bday :)





It's hard to tell, but they say "Micheal Kors" on the back of each heel


P.S. Does anyone have an addiction to fashion t.v.? I love Rachel Zoe on Monday nights on Bravo, Project Runway on Thursdays on Lifetime(tonight!) and What Not to Wear Friday nights on TLC.

As always, thank you for stopping by!
