My new fav polish!

Hands down. Crazy about this stuff. I love that it's opaque, nude-ish with a hint of pink & classy as all get out. It's glossy and shiny and I can't get enough!

Let me introduce you to: Tickle my France-y by O.P.I.

And what's even better is that it was free. I was buying the O.P.I. Rapid Dry Top Coat and it was a gift with purchase at my local nail/beauty supply shop. Can't beat that!

(ignore the pink/red on my cuticles - I was removing a vivid red nailpolish before this nude colour and it stubbornly wouldn't come off very easily)

What are your favourite nail polishes?

Hey friend. I missed you.

So, it's been a solid 15 days since I've written on my bloggy-blog. Sometimes you're in it, sometimes you're not.

I basically dove into phase 2 of my detox. This included re-introducing fruit, grains, non-dairy milks, chicken/fish (but not all fish) and more. Phase 2 was a heck of a lot easier than Phase 1. I wasn't restricted to just vegetables. Good lawd.

I had a couple slips - mostly when celebrating with family/friends and there was a special meal in the mix. It's still hard to say no when it's a special occasion, but I'm working on changing those behaviours!

Here are a few pics from the past 2 weeks:

Candle: Coconut Leaves by Bath and Body Works

Base: Mermaid's Tears by O.P.I. with Wet & Wild's Fergie line in Hollywood Walk of Fame



Chicago Champagne Toast by O.P.I.


My friend Erin had a birthday party and we all brought something Pinterest-inspired. 

Below, we have a Buffalo Chicken hot dip, Italian-style chicken, potatoes and green beans, and rainbow cupcakes to finish.

 

Note that the better on the left side was partially moved the right side!

This week is to continue on the same wavelength eats-wise... keeping it clean and healthy. I've finally outgrown (that's not the right word {outshrunk?} many of the pants that I own, but don't yet fit into the next size. I'm in pants limbo! Methinks I'll have to go out to Value Village to see if I can find a few pants for work that'll fit better until I can fit into some stuff that I already own. I truly don't have much in smaller sizes for spring/summer, so eventually, I'll have to buy more.

Either way, I'll have to find a cute outfit for this Saturday. I'm going to see Oprah in Hamilton. She's on her tour right now - where she talks about her life, how she grew up & general life lessons. I saw her 1 year ago in April and found it to be a very profound experience. I feel very lucky & blessed to be able to see her again.

It's gonna be a good weekend!

Lyrical Therapy

Sometimes, a song can bring you through the day. Or bring a smile to your face.

Here are the songs that I've been dancing to, mellowing to, relaxing to...

Glósóli by Sigur Rós

 

{very mellow... chillout kind of music}

 

 

Danses sacre et profane by Debussy

 

{Loving this classical piece so much lately!}

 

 

St. Paul's Suite for String Orchestra, Op. 29, No. 2: I. Jig by Holst

 

{also a very pretty piece... love how it really tells a story}

 

 

Dress On by Justin Timberlake

 

{His new album is bomb. I love so many of his songs! Get it!}

 

 

I Love It by Icona Pop (feat. Charli XCX)

 

{a fun, bubbly dance single. Love the first 10 seconds the best!}

 

 

Clarity by Zedd (feat. Foxes)

 

{a really fun song to workout to}

 

 

Inner Ninja by Classified (feat. David Myles)

 

{this one just puts a smile on my face}
