Let the blogging begin!

Remember when snow days were awesome when you were little?  Waking up early to check the tv, waiting to see your town's name on the list of schools that were closed?  Even in college, it was rare to have no classes, but it was still awesome.  But this year, it has just been ridiculous!  I work a half hour away from home, and the snow has made everything miserable!  I don't think I have worked a normal week yet because there has pretty much have had a storm since Christmas!  From my commute taking hours, to having to close the office because of the weather, it has been just terrible.  Even some of my patients, who are still in school, are sick of being out of school!  When will it end??

So today is another snow day for me.  With all of these snow days, I should have been blogging up a storm!  But I've been going back and forth in my head with what I want to do with my blog.  I've been working on a layout, but I am not completely happy with it yet.  I keep debating what I should write about as well.  Since the start of this blog, I have bought things that I want to write about!  So what's the hold up?

I finally am getting my butt into gear and starting this blog.  I want this to be something that I enjoy doing, not something that is going to be a hassle.  I want to write again, I love it.  So here we go!!

I want to talk first about my favorite mascara, The Falsies by Maybelliene.  Let me explain, I am constantly trying new products.  I am always looking for better products, especially mascara.  I feel as if I have tried every drugstore mascara under the sun ever since I started wearing mascara.  But, this mascara I've bought more than one of (which is rare).  It gives my lashes length, curl and thickness.  This is the first mascara that I have found that does all three!  I use this Mascara in Blackest Black.  Whenever I buy mascara, I want the blackest that I can get because I feel that it really makes my lashes stand out.  This is definitely a love it.

I want to switch gears a little and talk about something else right now ... nail polish!  These three nail polishes are a definite like it right now.  Recently Ulta opened up near my house, and they had a huge selection of essie colors, and when I first went there I saw Shop Til I Drop, and I couldn't get it off the brain.  So of course I had to go back and buy it, and I also bought My Private Cabana. I was craving some pastel colors to add to my large collection of nail polishes.  The gray in the middle I have had for a little bit, but I am still loving it.  I was dying to get a gray nail polish, and this one was spot on to what I wanted.

Here are the colors on my nails.  I had to use three coats for the essie colors because they are sheer.  I don't normally like doing that, but this nail polish doesn't look too thick on my nails.

Along with my nail polish purchases, I had to buy essie's Good To Go! because it claimed that it was the fastest drying top coat.  And, it was true to it's word!  After I painted my nails for this photo, I used the top coat, and then after about five minutes I did my laundry and the dishes, and no smudges!  I am super impatient when it comes painting my nails, and this dries them so quick!  I don't know how I have survived so long without it!  

Right now, my gotta have it is a black eyeliner that stays on all day!! I've tried so many that have claimed to be waterproof, smudge proof, etc, but I have yet to find one that stays on all day.  I am hoping to stumble upon that asap.

So that's it!  My first blog!  I am still feeling this out, but I hope you have enjoyed what I have so far!  I'm looking forward to my next post, and I hope you are too :)
