Just another random Monday...

MAN! This Monday was rough! Getting back into the swing of things after 4 days off last week was nothing short of painful! Luckily I came hope to a package from Beauty by Brittany with this lovely note and some fab polishes inside. I can't wait to show you all the pretties she sent me! :)

I also made an exciting/random find at Big Lots this afternoon while I was looking for inexpensive dog beds:

That's right...I bought 4 of them. And perplexed is what the lady at the check-out counter probably was when she rang these up. But at only $1 each I really couldn't pass them up. I bought one for me and 3 to share. Let me know if your interested :)

I also had to share this rant over at Let them have Polish about the new OPI Texas Collection. I saw these polishes in person at Ulta this weekend and I really couldn't have said it better myself! It's a travesty that OPI took their inspiration from something as colorful and diverse as Texas and gave us bland and boring!

And just to wrap up what has proven to be my most random post ever I want to give a shout-out and a big thank you to Beauty Shades for tagging me with the Beautiful Blogger award. 
 And here are the questions that come with this award:
 
1. When and how did you start your love of polish? My love of polish started back in high-school when I was on the swim team. When you're in a competitive sport where your only way to express yourself is a tiny swimsuit you have to get creative. My school colors were blue and gold and I loved to wear deep blue jellys with chunky gold glitters. 
2. If you could choose to do anything in the world what would it be? How can I possibly narrow this down? I would love to be on one of those quirky Travel Channel shows and travel the world, making real connections and friendships along the way.
3. What's your favorite love story? I hate to go all philosophical on you guys but the story about how this dude God "so loved the world that he gave his only son" is a pretty amazing love story.

As for tagging others I'm cheating and I'm gonna go ahead and say tag yourself! Thanks for bearing with me through my randomness. Back to polishes tomorrow I promise!

Stylish Blogger Award!


I was tagged by Stephanie at Imperfectly Painted earlier this week. Love her blog and it is definitely worth checking out! Thank you Steph!


This award come with rules & they are as follows:
1. Thank and link the person who gave you the award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers
4. Contact these bloggers to tell them about the award

Here are my 7 things:
1. I took a mini vacation with my husband this weekend to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. Gosh I love him!
2. I am starting my last and final semester of graduate school this Tuesday! YES!
3. I hate chick-flicks! They are so predictable, and cheesy and real-life romance is so much better than the pretend Hollywood kind!
4. I have two miniature dachshunds, Blitz and Bailey. They also go by the nicknames Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and Double Trouble. We are currently in the process of trying to train them not to bark maniacally when the door-bell rings...so far no dice!
5. My husband and I have been going on a weekly date night since before we were married. We never do anything too fancy...sometimes it just means we go out to eat for a change. But we look forward to it all week. I like to refer to ourselves as proud members of the OMC Club (that's Old Married Couple Club for you youngsters)
6. Writing 7 things about yourself is hard!
7. I have a sweet tooth but only if it involves chocolate...my husband pointed out this interesting contradiction to me this morning. For example, sweet drinks (Big Red, sweet tea, milkshakes) are too intense for me, but throw in some chocolate and I am a happy camper! (oh that reminds me...I love to go camping...that totally should have been #6)

I tag:
BeautyShades
...andnails4all.

I tried hard to find some interesting *somewhat* undiscovered blogs! That's all I got for now...
