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!

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

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! I hope that saturday I will be able to go to the mall, feels like I have not been in forever, plus I have a $50.00 gift card for Sephora! HELLO! :)

Sick, but not too sick for a NOTD

Hey fellow bloggers,

I am back from Germany boo ooh :( We finally landed in Seattle on Tuesday 10pm after being stuck in North Carolina for a day. My DH and I had to be back at work on Tuesday, but that didn't work out so well. LOL.
And now I caught a cold too!1 I feel like poo. I drank about 10 cups of tea at work, I have a terrible dry cough and I almost coughed out my lung at work LOL I hope I will at least get rid of the cough by tomorrow. I must be super annoying to my co-workers.
Either way, I have been too busy to get depressed about being back in the States. Usually, I am super depressed when I leave my family, but I have been caught up in work and I guess that's ok.
I still need to swatch some nail polishes that I bought in Germany.
Here is one of them: ESSENCE IN STYLE. I topped it with ESSIE MATTE OVER YOU.

I love the color. Really pretty. I have got to say, ESSENCE came a long way ever since I moved to the US (4 years) I never used to buy their cosmetics, but i gotta say, I am impressed by their selection and quality. For those who don't know ESSENCE, I think its is kind of like Wet and Wild, just a little bit more selection, but price wise the same. I think I will keep up with the colors on their website and ask my sister to mail me some more polish :D I paid 1.25 Euros for the polish, that is less than 2 bucks. Not bad :D

Well, I can feel the tiredness creeping up on me. Jet Lag, 9 hour time difference :(
Closing this post with a picture of my two loves :) Aren't they darling?????? Excuse my husbands Steelers hat...ewwwwwwww ;)
Buenas Noches, 
Carla
