JULEP MAVEN BOX

How many polishes do you ladies own? I organized mine today, and I have around 60. I recently, threw away some oldies. This collection is not too bad. I was afraid, I had too many. BUT I am not a hoarder :-D

How do you organize your lacquers?? This is how I do it. They are neatly organized and stored in my night stand :-) 

It's already Wednesday! Of course this week is going by fast...The day my husband has to leave is coming closer and closer :-( I am extremely scared and I am super thankful that my little brother will come stay with me for 3 months. Otherwise I'd lose it!

I HATE war :-(

You've got my mail!

My mom's package arrived yesterday! My awesome family mailed me some German and Italian Goodies, which included a bunch of beauty products :-) It sucks to be so far away from them, but they surely know how to make my day! I miss them....

 so much good stuff! Lots of DM Products, and homemade italian sausages :-)

and ohh 4 polishes!!!

She painted her nails again...

...I did it again. Today I had no idea how to paint my nails! I was hoping my moms package from Germany  would be waiting for me when I get home (she sent some polish ;-D) but no...so I used some oldies ;-) Why not??

 WnW-Silvivor

Essie- Matte over you

WnW- Party of five glitters

I've made a deal with myself not to buy new nail polish for at least 1 week or 2 :-D EXCEPT my Julep nail mail. We will see how long I will last.
Have you heard of Julep yet? JULEP is a nail subscription. Their colors and quality are amazing. I painted my nails and I think it lasted about 5 days (until I wanted a new color) could have gone longer. I have explained HERE how exactly it works. This months color are really pretty. I am still sticking with the BOHO Maven Box.

This months was really hard to pick, because ALL their boxes are really pretty.

BTW, you can get your first box for a penny if you use Code: COLOR2012

Can't wait for my Julep to ship!!

Buenas noches!

Carla♥

PS. On a side note: What is up with these Doomsday Preppers shows?? Am I the only person who believes that the world is NOT going to end? My husband is watching this right now...LOL. People are just crazy....maybe it's just me. Oh well

Weekend recap

Good evening Ladies,

how was everybody's weekend? Mine was quite successful :-)
Spend all weekend in downtown Seattle: eating, drinking, exploring, shopping and just having a good time!
I did not do much shopping, because the men don't do so good when the girls are shopping ;-)
I stopped at H&M and Nordstrom

saw this Top at H&M and I had to have it! $9.99 :)

I needed a new wallet. Nordstrom 

love the color

 and naaaiiil polish!!!!

I wanted some holo glitter!

This is OPI - Save me

(I think it's from the Nicky Minaj collection yikes!!! lol)

of course I had to try it and thanks to Pinterest, I did some sort of ombre NOTD with pastel colors! I really really like IT :) so cute, don't you agree?

I ♥ SEATTLE

my home away from home

our husbands ;)

Pike Place chowder! I love that place!

The salmon chowder is delicious.

Have you seen Post Alley's Gum wall in Seattle? This is right below the market. We showed some friends around and their first reaction is:" ewwwwwwww!!'

It is pretty eww :-D Other than that, Seattle is a very clean city LOL

My friend put our names on the wall...I DID NOT touch it. It was all her LOL

I always wonder how many drunks walk by at night and actually pick up a piece of gum...ewww lol

Haul sweet haul

Finally made it to the mall. I was expecting a bit more I guess, but better than nothing ;)

  Shirt at H&M 10 Dollars

 awesome dress at F21 (which is not one of my favorites stores)

 But check out the price? They had this dress in all kinds of colors. But black was the nicest.

I am a sucker for lace dresses :)

ehm 10 Dollars? yea you're coming home with me!!

lovely belt from F21

 it photographs pink, but it is really sort of peachy

My sephora haul. I had a 50 Dollar gift hard from my husbands abuelos. Still got  couple dollars left.

and I also painted my nails yesterday.

ELF- Mango Madness

with OPI Crown me already

these polishes came in a cute little set, I got them last summer. I can never find E.L.F polishes in any stores, but I found this set with 4 summery colors at the Grocery outlet for 3 Dollars! Score :)

Have any of your heard of Julep? It's sort of like the shoe-dazzle for nail polish freaks! I just placed my first order, after I did the Style test. I will be receiving the BOHO Box. To find out how it works click here -> Julep
I used a coupon that I've found online. I ended up paying $1.90 for a 19.99 box :) (Code: COLOR2012)
I will do a review as soon as I receive my first Julep box :) Excited.
How was your weekend??

Numb...

...my whole left side of my mouth is numb. I got some fillings at the dentist and now I can't eat LOL. I've been really down lately, work is going through some MAJOR changes...it kind of scares me. 90% of our "business" is moving to a different state.  So those people who were affected by this change, can stay with the company IF they move to the other state. The difference between these two states is like night and day, west coast-eastcoast, north-south. If they don't move then they better find a new job. Some positions are still staying in Seattle and I was assured that mine will still be here in Seattle. It better! Geez I just got promoted not too long ago. I am def not moving LOL So this is what I've been bumming about. This year just didn't start right....enough talk. Posting 2 outfits that I wore this week, plus NAILS :)

My wonderful family in Germany will be sending me a package soon. I wrote a looooong list for my sister, most of the the stuff is from DM (fellow german blogger know exactly what store that is :-D) Nail polish, Make up, Body lotions, facial masks, stuff that you just can't get here. I have been STALKING other blogs from Germany to find out what to add to my list :) I got till Saturday!
