Day 43/365: Toesies

Showing off my new China Glaze polish in Cosmic. A black polish with silver and holographic glitter. Why don't beauty bloggers swatch nail polishes on their toes? Haha...it's a bit awkward...and if I wasn't semi-flexible, very difficult!

Day 42/365: A Twist on Your Manicure

I swear this is the easiest thing you can do to your nails to make them look fancy! Just add glitter!!! Whether it's a glitter topcoat/polish, like my favorite China Glaze Nova, or using a loose glitter like this one. Unfortunately it's Martha Stewart brand (I don't like to support her cause, but the color variety I got from this pack was a bit too redonkulous for me not to buy). This color is aquamarine crystal. And the polish is I believe China Glaze Harmony. A great combination. All you have to do is put down a wet coat of nail polish...probably clear, or the color you have as your base, and dip your finger(s) into the glitter. I recommend pushing it into the nail, so that there's less fallout, then sealing it with a clear topcoat. I say use a junky one, then let it dry and then use a good one like Seche Vite.

Day 41/365: Did I Mention I Like Flowers?

Hah!! I warned you about the amount of flowers you will be seeing in this project 365! I just love flower pictures...pictures of nature! It's easy because you don't have to worry about the thing moving (unless it's really windy), and they're naturally pretty! These are flowers my grandma got for Mother's Day...still lookin good!!

Day 40/365: No Idea

I'll admit it, I had no friggen clue what I wanted to take a picture of today. This is a very close up of a bag I own. A friend gave it to me for Christmas. I tried using it for school, but the fact that there is no structure and that it was white made it difficult. Now I use it to carry miscellaneous stuff when I perform. Still there is a fear I will get it dirty, but not as much. I love the print of this bag...very sporadic...like me!

Day 39/365: More Gardenias

I was excited to see a whole lot of flowers in my grandma's gardenia bush today. So pretty. It brings me back to them elementary school days ;) Anyway, today, it had all these drops of water...artistic feel!

I used flash for this picture...brings out the colors better! Slowly learning the photography thing...actually I was supposed to learn it back when I took photography in high school!

Day 38/365: X Marks the Spot

Happy Mother's Day. Thought I'd try something my grandma appreciates...tiramisu! It was a PAIN to make it...well I should start off with the fact that it was a PAIN to find the ingredients. It turned out descent...I don't think I'll be trying this again for a while though!

Thanks to my high school classmate, Sarah (what a coinkidink), who helped get me the espresso for cheap!

Day 37/365: No Concert Pic??

Yes, this is another alcoholic beverage, and NO I am NOT an alcoholic! Anyway, this was at the Hard Rock Cafe. We decided to eat here and then be able to be at the concert site already. My friend and I decided to partake in the souvenir glass, so we were able to get the "large" drinks :) Well, I tried the Ultimate Long Island Iced Tea. This was pretty dang good!!! Really smooth, and a hint of pineapple. I'm really not a good describer of taste, so sue me!! Really good drink, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet drink!

The concert was pretty good. Wasn't knowing what to expect. He did all original songs, woulda liked hearing a cover or two because I love a lot of his covers, but a good showing, and he had a meet and greet after, when he told me I looked familiar...my non-original face at work again!!

Day 36/365: Night Out with the Co-Workers

Tonight a bunch of us from the office went out to watch the new installment of the Fast & Furious movies, Fast Five. We wanted to wait for one of our co-workers to finish up, so we ended up at Dave & Busters' Happy Hour. One of my favorites...all drinks are half off!! One of may favorite drinks there: the Million Dollar Margarita. My friend/co-worker kinda convinced me to try the Perfect Patron Margarita too...also very good. The latter, a little more citrusy, and stronger alcohol-wise, the "expensive" one: sweeter, more my speed if I were to drink a lot. I think I like the Patron one better...it is better alcohol too, so I'm sure that had a part in it. Don't worry, this was BEFORE the movie, so I had time to let it wear off...for those of you who seen the movie, you know that it was super long, so I had A LOT of time!

Day 35/365: Crafting at Night

So, for a little background information, I play Okinawan style koto, which is a zither to all you musically inclined people. The bands on the picks I use to play were getting quite gross and frayed that I decided to change them. I hope they were beat up...I think I was using those picks for like maybe 8+ years, so they were in for a change. It took me forever and a day to find my new bands, I could only find my brother's ones.

After mu hunt, I finally took the picks out of the old ones, and put them into the new bands. These are my new picks, called tsume in my world, waiting for the glue to dry. Don't mind the mess on the floor and table!

Day 34/365: Got the Tickets

Picked up the David Choi Tickets today. I've never been to the Hard Rock Cafe (EVER) and so there were many problems for me, including, where to park, where the actual place is, and how to get in. It was an adventure, but at least I was able to prepare so I wasn't all messed up on that day!

Day 33/365: Tea Party

Today, in the office, we had a tea party in celebration of Administrative Professionals' Day, fka (formerly known as) Secretaries' Day. A few people from the office brought in cups from their own collection, and unfortunately contrary to someone's belief, they were not for us to take :( Kinda don't know where that person got that idea...

It was a cool celebration, I did not partake in any tea, but everything else was good!!!

Day 32/365: LIGHTNING!!!

This was taken during my commercial breaks of Dancing with the Stars. The lightning was CRAZY right before I left my grandma's house, but I didn't have my camera, so I couldn't catch any bolts. I thought it was cool because it kinda seemed like the park lights were on--that's the direction the park is at that part of my back "yard." Really cool stuff tonight

Day 31/365: Glitters

So these are the glitters I got from Kali's BIG sale. These are MY nail essentials. LOVE glitter. The Nubar one is new to me...I think I like it...will tell in my beauty blog later.
