Without further ado:  

Here is the newest mani:

 I stamped over acrylics.  I used Black on Black by Sinful Colors and Bundle Monster's new plate BM219!  I absolutely love how these turned out!!!

Alrighty, I'm not normally one to get my nails done too often.  I enjoy doing it myself.  But every once in a while I want to be pampered.  In this case, my best friend just got her nail technician license and needed practice.  She did some pink & white acrylics for me.  I added the glitter to the tips and of course two coats of Seche Vite!!

I'm so stoked to set out my outfits for the week and match up my jewelry!!!

I actually really like these ones, because of how NOT low-key they are.  I usually reach for something low key and non-noticeable when wearing glasses, but that's why I like these!

I look really surprised!  LOL!  But these are my favorites!! They're not crooked, my head is tilted!  

So I thought I would share WHY I bought three pairs.  They were all under $20!  Take a visit to Zenni Optical.  If any of my friends decide to order and need help or advice on what to choose and what options to include on lenses, keep in mind that I was an Optician for a few years.  So I'm free for vision advice!  

I would LOVE opinions!!  Thanks Lovelies!

True to my New Year's Resolution, I'm working on getting rid of my debt this year.  I started the year with $3,078.65 of personal debt.  This includes my car, payday loan and apartment debts.  That's all accumulated within a year's time.  Let's see how long it takes to erase.  It's  been a month, I'm down to $2,838.40.  Not bad, huh?  

And here are some pictures from my 24th Birthday party!

 

Let me start by telling you a little bit about my best friend Rudolfo, or Rudy as we like to call him.  He's 22 and attending BSU for some complicated Engineering crap.  We met in high school.  Me a senior, him a junior.  He was a chubby peach-fuzzed goofball, and I was the new chubby girl at school.  We met in Mythology & Bible Lit, which was taught by tiny Asian she-devil.  We were partners on some b.s. project, and he gave me his e-mail address to communicate about the project.

Here we are 6 years later with different lives and still best friends.  Well, just recently was my bestie's 22nd birthday.  I'm here in Washington and he's off in Idaho.  So I decided I was going to send him a care package.

I threw some random stuff in there to take up space really.  I finished off Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo from South Park (after starting him two years ago) and threw him in there.  I made a card from white card stock and a Dutch Bros. bumper sticker (not kidding).  It's main message was, "I'd be much more into your birthday if it were my birthday" and I made a haphazard bullet-list of our memories.  I threw some condoms in there with crude sayings on them including "Shag bag" and "Don't be silly, wrap your willy".  And I made some truffles, wrapped them in wax paper and tied them off with some string and beads. 

The picture quality is terrible, I know.  But it's all there.  He loved it.

Post Script: I will be posting the recipe for the truffles and my take on them a little after Thanksgiving.  I'll also be posting photos of the our Annual Thanksgiving Pot Luck.

Dahianna, did you know that your name means "valley"?  NOW, where can I take this?  Valley girl?  Nah.  Peaks and vallies ((she has huge knockers!!))??  Oh well, on another note--I missed you!!

Okay folks, this is the story of Me & D!  I was 19.  I was working at Subway and living in a ghetto 1200 sq. ft. $400/mn. apartment in the shittiest part of town.  A girl came in while I was closing, so irritated with my lack of confidence in my own future; I was angry-face and throwing veggies around.  She told me that I could be an Optician for way more pay+commission.  And they TRAIN YOU!  How cool!  I was all over it.  This isn't the girl this story is about.  I applied.  I got the job.  I met my second-in-command manager, Dahianna.  Beautiful and sweet Mexican girl about my age.  We quickly became inseparable!

 Let's fast-forward 2 years.  I met this guy, we won't say who.  He tried to control me and honestly succeeded a bit.  I started taking out all my anger on all my closest friends and realized I'd lost them all.  Even Dahianna.  

Finally after I realized I deserved better and moved on, I tried making contact with all those old friends again.  So, first call?  DAHIANNA, naturally!  We made up!  And now, two years after breaking up with that douche, I can confidentally say that D is one of my best friends.  

She is ALWAYS there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, an opinion to ruin my day, anything.

Dahianna--I love you, girl.  You're one of the most beautiful people I know.  And who could make a cuter baby than this? 

And her husband, Sean.  Well, he's just a kook.  We love him, I couldn't think of a more beautiful couple!! I love you guys!!
