Hey All

Hi Darlings

I just wanted to throw a quick update out there concerning this past month, the upcoming weeks and the new year.

Unfortunately this past week I've been hit hard with a bug, so I'm just praying I'll be feeling well enough to celebrate the holiday with my family, and not quarantined in bed.

After the holiday, I have some work on the road and I won't be returning til after the first of the new year. At that point I'll return with a set blog schedule and posts for all of you.

I pray that each and every one of you enjoy a very merry Christmas, and a happy new year. I hope that all of you can enjoy your family and their company, as well as them enjoying yours, and that you receive something special on Christmas eve/day!


Early Holiday Blessings and have a wonderful rest of the week.

P.S. Here is something to make you laugh :)

Nail Polish Review: OPI I'm so sari

Hello Darlings!

How are all of you doing? I hope you all are well. If you're a student, then I hope your Christmas break finals went by without any major problems and that you can now enjoy a relaxing Christmas break. I personally am not concerned with finals at this point in time, since I left school for this semester to round up some more dough. If I've already mentioned this in past posts, I apologize. My memory is kaputzzz at the moment...

Getting on with tonight's review! I found a lovely lovely glittery teal nail polish. It's everything I hoped for and more. I prefer wearing neutrals and letting my one or two accessories be colorful, or my nails will suffice. However I usually do not paint my nails. They break and chip like poorly made dentures and I can never get over how angry I get at putting all the time and effort into such a beautiful manicure to have it look awful within 48 hours.

I thought that maybe I was just buying crappy polish. Ergo, buy better polish and it chips less. Too True! I'm going to stop being such a penny pincher in the future and buy better quality products in certain situations.

*Tip* For you ladies who also suffer with constantly chipping nails, keep the nail polish off your fingers/toes for the weekend to let them breath, and try a product like Essie Vitamin E Base Coat. I bought mine at Ulta's and it has worked very well with the quality/lasting time of my manicures.

OPI I'm So Sari:

 Also it's nice that while there is glitter in it, it isn't obnoxiously noticeable. I like that it sparks when my hands are in the sun but then you just get that lovely blue hue the rest of the time.

 As a bonus, look at the little guy I found in our barn a few weekends ago! Isn't he adorable? It's a little baby field mouse. He wasn't scared of me at all. He/She just walked around and came close to my shoes to investigate and stare up at my towering self. I wasn't very original when I named him, but I call him timothy. My dad face-palmed himself when I said "But we can just call him tiny tim." I suppose he doesn't appreciate my dry humour. *Sigh*

My grandparents make fun of me, saying I'm so desperate for another pet I've been reduced to kidnapping field mice. Hmph. If only my grandma wasn't so disapproving of animals,I would have the lab or huskie puppy I've been dreaming of for a long time. -tear-

I like cats but I enjoy a more outdoorsy life style (gothic mori girl style?) and dogs better suit my taste of a fellow hiking/adventurous companion.

Have a good night darlings!

updates and early birthday post

Hello Darlings!

Sooo... Tomorrow's my burfdah! Lucky uneven 21. I'm more into even numbers and symmetrical objects... (I've been acting like this gif all day in excitement. Someone slap me back into reality)



I plan to do a outfit/cake post tomorrow. I just feel so bad I haven't posted anything recently.

But I do plan to do two nail reviews, three makeup reviews and a soap and glory review of the shower trip bag full of goodies I bought before this month is over.

I was google scrolling again when I found the perfect cake for tomorrow. Yes, I make my own cakes. No, I don't think it's sad or do I care. Store cakes are usually stale tasting and sickly sweet to me.

I cheated today. I did not make a vegan cake, but only because I didn't feel like driving an hour for fake butter and egg replacer. C'est la vie. One day out of the year doesn't make me a bad person.

Ms. Joanne of http://blog.notonthehighstreet.com made the cutest cake imaginable!

http://blog.notonthehighstreet.com/2012/08/10/three-layer-cake/

I decided to make all 3 layers pink and added a little purple to one. Then I made a soft cotton candy pink frosting with rainbow star sprinkles, topped with white and pink candles.

Don't ask me why I wanted a sweet lolita type birthday cake. I'm still slightly questioning myself. But still... it's soo cute! :3

tasty peach artfire.com I think. if this is yours let me know.

Anyways, I still have a few things to do before tomorrow, so have a lovely night darlings.

Embarrassing!

Damn it darlings!

I'm going to re-read my posts/comments/replies until I learn to spell correctly and not make an ass of myself. I'm trying to comment on others blogs and I can't even  make a literate sentence. I swear I re-read what I type and look at another page and come back to it with fresh eyes and I'm still a klutz.
I'm not going to get anywhere with this blog if I don't have a basic grasp on the english language. I'm a OCD personality type with a 4 year old attention span.

Now I'm going to go back to online shoe shopping. I swear I'll have a legitimate post up this weekend. Also it's going to be my birthday next weekend so I'll have a birthday cake decor post coming. I found a recipe for edible glitter. It will be a glittery doom cake...or something equally nonsensical and crazy for my 21st birthday. Don't forget to bring the marshmellow vodka haha.

Have a good night!

(a still embarrassed) lady.

glitter. just because I can.

All my online purchases have arrived!

Hello Darlings!



I hope you are all feeling well and had a good start to the week. Personally I'm feeling a little under the weather and stayed home overdosing on cocoa, toast and hot broth. I only went out to buy some tea and more soup...and makeup. The highlight of my day was that my big box from Sephora came today (it weighed almost 3 pounds!) and as a bonus surprise my purchase from bodyartforms.com came too. They have infamously fast shipping! I only buy from their store when they have coupons on the newletter I receive in my email. I got 25% off every item for black friday. win/win I say!

Here's a quicky list of what I bought. I thought I would do an in depth review of everything later. I wouldn't want to punish all of you with up close photos of my sickly face plastered in makeup.

I bought:

• soap and glory shower trip set 

 

• rosebud perfume co. rosebud salve, 

 

• opi "i'm so sari" nailpolish, (and I qualified for the makeup pouch full of 14 free samples)

I'm really happy with all of these so far. I bought the set to try out a few different products at once and as a bonus I needed another bag anyways. The nailpolish is absolutely fabulous as well. Plus the sexy motherpucker lip plumping lip gloss looks amazing on my lips and it smells great. When I went to walgreens I grabbed some garnier bb cream and the andrea modlash false lash starter kit so those will be a part of the review as well. I hope you all have a good tuesday tomorrow and you will here from me soon for a makeup/ bath product review.

Good night Darlings!

Lady.

Vegan blabbing and a photo drop.

Hello Darlings.

Hello Hello! I swear darlings I haven't forgotten a single one of you, or about my precious blog. It's simply that work has picked up quite a bit! I need to work out a schedule so I can keep up with regular posts. 
How are all of you? A while ago I mentioned a little road trip I went on and I thought I would share a few photos and since I knew that wouldn't take up the whole post I thought I would talk a little about being vegan. So if you're interested, scroll scroll scroll! :)

 One of the many rivers/lakes we crossed on the two hour trip. It was too pretty to pass up a shot.

Cheddar's Restaurant.

 Can you believe they ate 6 onion rings and there were still over 20 left on the plate? It was insanity! Also realize we ordered the small appetizer size and this is considered a small. Mind boggling!!

The Frankenstein caramel apple I wanted to buy, but it was a halloween special and it was still a week away. Boo! ... hoo hoo. :( Actually I bet it wouldn't taste that good because of the fondant? I can't tell if it's that or dyed chocolate but that stuff is usually too sickly sweet or fake tasting to actually gnaw or digest. But I give it a 7 for cuteness.

speaking of cute...

Can anyone explain to me why I'm getting such huge gaps when I add gifs like this? It's odd. Thanks in advance darlings!

First off let me throw out a tiny disclaimer of some sort. In all honestly, I haven't been a vegan long so if you ask me about a certain product I may not know it, but I would be happy to test it out and talk about it. However my "noob-ness" of sorts shouldn't count me out since any ounce of knowledge at all is still knowledge! :)

For instance, I made vegan banana bread today and it was incredibly tasty. It just happened to work out for me because my bananas were getting too ripe and my papa has a lot of stevia around because he's diabetic. (vegans don't eat white sugar but do use natural sweeteners like stevia, agave or sucanat.) For those of you who aren't aware white sugar is processed by filtering it through bone char. "( charcoal made from animal bones*) uhm, gross. [[ http://www.vegsource.com/jo/qa/qasugar.htm]]*

Crunchy but moist 100% vegan banana bread. yum!

I'm not going to lie to you, breaking my sugar addiction was a very hard thing to do. However now that I do not need sugar like I used to, I personally can feel how much happier my body is without the sugar rushes and crashes or needing a sugar "fix."

Also keep in mind it gets easier the longer you stick with it. I've been modifying my diet for over a month and taking baby vegan steps along the way. I promise my blog won't turn into a "Eat this! Not that!" manifesto and I won't bring it up unless I have something relevant to talk about or another recipe to share.

Have a great week darlings!

The Goth Challenge Day Four: Name a stereotype or cliche you can relate to.

Hello Darlings.

Exciting news, I cut all my hair off. I'll share photos tomorrow. I know how far behind I am in posting. But I've been in a funk recently. I felt like I was going through the most basic motions but I just felt dead. It's hard to describe but I go through moods like that from time to time. Now I'm back and ready to spam your blogger dashboards once again, hah.



 Name a stereotype or cliche you can relate to.

•  I love cemeteries. I enjoy walking through them and looking for them whenever I'm on the road. I find most of them have pretty landscaping and they are always so peaceful.(let's go have a cemetery picnic! :D )

• You'll find striped stockings in my sock drawer and yes, I do enjoy wearing them. I actually found a pair the other day I want to go and buy. (green and black striped. How cute! )

•  I definitely relate to the "creative" bone that we're supposed to be born with. You could lock me away for years and years but as long as you kept the paper and pens/paints/ etc. coming I could care less. [dramatic I know but oh so true.]

 I LOVE halloween shopping. That's because you get to stock up on all your day to day goodies for half off.

 

•  I love watching shows and reading books about the paranormal. Trust me, I haven't missed a Ghost Adventures episode yet.

• I enjoy the vampire subculture, but not like I used to. I've read the Ann Rice series but other than that I find they're too romanticized today and aren't portrayed as they actually are. ( I like books like the Encyclopedia of the undead... Which I own. :) )

 Good night darlings. Stay warm and snug in your lil' coffins.

Lady.
