Birthday weekend & new goodies!!

So this past Friday was my 22nd birthday! Yay!! Happy Birthday to me!!! I had a wonderful weekend with my friends and family,  & also my love Ernesto who drove down to spend yet another  birthday with me :) Now onto my new goodies. I was online and came across a new store in my area called US Nail Supply. After looking into it I learned that they sale nail polishes for half off!!! I went to check it out today and i fell in LOVE! they had all my favorite nails brands! OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Zoya & a lot others!! So of course I had to pikc up a few things.

I got 4 China Glaze nail polishes for  $3.00 each. The colors are Mediterranean Charm, Love letters, Nude, & Flying High

This nail art tool set for $5.00

An OPI color called Barefoot in Barcelona & my new favorite Essie shade called Wife goes on!

Can't wait to try all of these out! & i still need to get the supplies for my nail polish rack!!

Nails!!!

Lately I've been obsessed with nail polishes. Before January I think I had about 3 or 4 polishes (that weren't even mine)  &  then out of nowhere my collection went up to 50+. I haven't done my nails in a while so last night since I couldn't sleep I decided to do my nails!

I used Essie's Sand Tropez & I used konads black nail polish for the cheetah print design with the M-57 stamping plate, & then I used my new Sephora nail polish in Myrtille (L34) just to add some color. The konad stamping plates are nice, but they can become very messy and some nail polishes dont work well with it so I ended up ordering the "special" konad nail polishes in black and white. Also since I have so many nail polishes & right now I store them in a box, I have recruited my dad to help me make a nail polish rack! I found a video on you tube by Dulcecandy87 (I'll post the link below) that shows step by step what to do and also tells you what to do. It looks pretty easy so let's see how it turns out!

here's the link :)

Home sweet home

I'm finally home from Reno, it's a bitter sweet feeling. I'm glad that I'm back to my room and my stuff, and also because my mom came home from Mexico this weekend , BUT I miss Ernesto so much already & it's only been 4 hours </3.... On the bright side I had a WONDERFUL weekend. We did a little shopping and then we had dinner at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse. The food was delish! We LOVE that place.

Saturday we did some more shopping and then went on a little day trip to Lake Tahoe. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!! I wish I had gone prepared with swimming gear, but now I know for next time. We had a little picnic and talked and talked and talked. So much fun. Never a dull moment with him.

The rest of the day consisted of watching movies and eating ice cream (mango sorbet for me.. my favorite!)
If you haven't watched What to expect when you're expecting it is a MUST see!! We both loved the movie, so it is good for guys too. And today we did some more shopping before I left on my 4 hour drive back home. Not too crazy about long drives, but this one wasn't that bad..... Now time to share all the goodies  I got this weekend!!

I got a new MAC lipgloss, It's a Cremesheen glass shade in Boy Bait

From Sephora I got a liquid foundation, a mineral compact, a nail polish in Myrtille (can't wait to try it out), 2 lip sticks, and last but not least they gave me my Beauty Club birthday present!! 2 Mini Sugar Lip Treatments 

these are the Sephora lip sticks in Pink Lover & Light Candy

This cute mustard yellow Maxi dress... I'm loving maxi dresses right now!

2 pairs of skinny jeans from forever & a pair of earrings & 2 bracelets & a white off the shoulder top

a plain racer back top from Charlotte Russe and some more earrings

I found an Essie polish in Sand Tropez for only $3.49 when usually Essie polishes are around $8

My lovely boyfriend bought me a Michael Kors wristlet as an anniversary/birthday gift... & I'm in LOVE with it!

& last but not least mom surprised me with some goodies from Mexico!! 

4 years!!!!

So today is mine and my loves 4 year anniversary!!! Crazy. Time has gone by so fast, I can't believe it. My love for him has grown more & more with each day that has gone by. I don't know where I would be without him. He's made me a stronger and better person, and I really appreciate him for that. We've had so many great memories together, and still have man more to come! Can't wait to get to Reno and spend this whole weekend with him. Yes, he lives in Nevada and I live in California, he moved out there last August for work, but soon enough we will be together whether it's here or there. Also, I'm excited to get some shopping done!! I'll be posting lots of pictures when I get back!
