The 31 Week Nail Polish Challenge!



          Good after noon everybody! It's a beautiful sunny fall day here in the midwest. As most of you already know by now I am an active member of the Candles By Victoria message board The Pouring Pot. And they had a thread for the 31 Day Nail Polish Challenge, well a few other girls and I loved the idea, but being practical there was no way we had the time to do and redo our nails everyday so we decided to turn it into a 31 Week Nail Polish Challenge. So I thought I would also keep track of the weeks on here. These are the categories for the 31 weeks.

Week 30 4/29-5/5: A Tutorial
Week 31 5/6-5/12: Re-create your favorite challenge!

      I know this is a long term commitment so we will see how long I can keep it up. Since this week's challenge was red I decided to do a True Blood inspired simple nail look. I used Zoya's Sooki for the top which is a gorgeous bold blue based red and then on the inside of my tips I painted them black in China Glaze's Liquid Leather. Thought I'd give it a simple edge with the black tips since it is October after all.  

Such a pretty red!

And the inside tips are black and red.

     Well that is it for this post. Please look forward each week for the next challenge pictures. Also I have another new Fortune Cookie Soap haul and review on their Halloween Soap Box coming up so come back soon if you are interested in that. Hope you all are having a wonderful day and I will see you guys next time. Bye! 

Buh Bye!

Happy Birthday To Me...

Happy Birthday to me! I'm now officially 23!

         So this post is just me indulging in a little shameless narcisisim..okay maybe more than a little, but hey it's my birthday so isn't that like a universal excuse to get you out of anything? Today is actually going to be a quiet day because I have work and then right after that I have to watch my one year old niece because my brother has to work and my sister has nursing school. So while I do not relish the fact that I have to work today, I am however happy that the present I bought myself is here! 

OMG I HAZ PREZENT!!!

          So since the rest of my family/friends always give me money so I can buy myself whatever I want I decided to order something for myself that would be shipped so I could open it and it would feel like a wrapped gift. Yes, I am aware of just how pathetic that is... Moving right along then.... I know what your thinking I ordered, but no it wasn't anything from Candles By Victoria. (Though I am currently burning some of her scent shots.) It was however something from my other favorite independant company and that is Fortune Cookie Soaps. I did a mini-haul and review for you guys on my last order from them which was on a few of their summer line, but now I can do one for you on some from their fall line.

      I'm guessing by now you are at least a little bit curious about the contents inside my pretty cardboard box and so I will give you all a small preview before I do my official haul/review on these products themselves.  

Look forward to the complete haul soon!

Ice cream cake bitches!

    I already celebrated my birthday last Sunday since today is going to be such a busy day. My mother made my favorite dinner and we had a family birthday party since I'm not much on going out and partying. (Don't like alcohol) I was suprised when they pulled out an ice cream cake from Dairy Qeen. I haven't had an ice cream cake for my birthday since I was 20. So I totally dug into it. Goodbye diet, it was nice knowing you...
    Since I have recently come into a bit more cash I will most likely be spending it very soon. And I'm sure whatever I buy I will probably have to gush about and post on here. So who knows maybe it will be more CBV, maybe more FCS, or maybe some make-up. I have been eyeing Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics's new fall lip tar in Black Dahlia, which I'm sure some of you ladies have been eyeing too. Problem is Sephora is already sold out so now I have to wait for it to restock and then pray I get my order in before it sells out again. Oh, the hardships of online shopping. LOL. Well if you made it all the way to the end of this pointless post then GOD BLESS YOU! Now I'm off to start work. Bleh! See you guys next time!

Insert Witty Self-Introduction Here...



I'm actually a blogger now....

       Well hello internet! If you couldn't tell already this is my first time blogging and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but that's okay because complete ignorance has never stopped me from doing something before. So I'm just gonna wing it from here on in. So first things first I guess and that would be an introduction I suppose...

     My name is Cayla. I'm from a small midwestern country town and I decided to start this blog so I could chronicle and obsess over my ever increasing addictions on various things which will probably vary randomly from candles, to make-up, books, my favorite shows atm, music, etc...to probably just incoherrant fangirl rants. Most likely it will all be incoherrant fangirl rants... I don't really have any spiffy plans for this blog other than just some fun to pass the time and a little bit of shameless narcissism. I do love to interact with others so any comments I get I will greatly appreciate! That includes hate comments because that means that I stole some of your precious time and enough so you felt you had to tell me about it. MWHAHA!

Seriously I take IDGAF to a whole new level.

        Anyways I hope you guys enjoy some of my upcoming posts or at the very least I hope my random gif bombs amuse you. Much love and many blessings to you all!
