My Life in 2014: February

Hello dolls, back in January I shared some personal stuff with you guys and I just felt like doing these small personal updates on my blog are not only therapeutic for me but it makes me feel a little closer to you all. I know this post comes a few days short of the end of February but better late than never. It's been a little while since my last post due to the issues currently going on in my life. Its been a rough month and a rough winter. I'm looking forward to it being over and my birthday coming! It's in 11 days! I'm hoping that with the new month beginning it will hopefully bring me some new stuff. Nothing comes easy and I know that, but as of late things have become extremely tough. My mom took a very bad fall outside of our house on black ice (I'm so over winter!) and broke her ankle in three places. Thankfully they reset it and did surgery on it. She has screws in there now and is currently out of work recuperating at home. It was a very intense day that day, it was actually the same day as the Bridal Shower I was hosting for my cousin. Fortunately she was very understanding and we pushed it back an hour. Though my mind wasn't totally in it, the Bridal Shower went very well. Its been a very tiring week, but I would do anything for my parents because they have done for me all my life. I'm looking forward to my birthday because I'll be celebrating in a different setting.and I'm excited about my outfit. The dress my sister bought me is different and I can't wait to wear it. I really hope that winter is over and warmer weather begins. I'm also looking forward to Lent because I'll be giving up fast food. Its really something I've got to kick, I eat it once in awhile but as of late its been more often than usual and it really doesn't settle well. I feel like Lent also brings clarity into my life. If you celebrate Lent, what are you giving up? It could be anything, comment below.

Valentines Day Date Looks

As cliche as this so called holiday is I really do love dressing up for it. I hope you all enjoy it with your significant other and if your celebrating alone wear some cute valentines day pj's Forever 21 has some cute ones! Not quite sure yet how I'll be celebrating but I know there will be some sort of fro-yo or gelato involved! I really love putting together outfits for this day because everyone wears red or pink and there's so many different shades, its really beautiful.

My Collection: Nail Polish Edition

 So I thought I'd finally share my nail polish collection with you all. I had bought this storage cart from Big Lots awhile ago that came with different colored drawers and two of those drawers contain my nail polish collection. Which is growing daily. I had a ton more but I got rid of alot because some became too clumpy. My first drawer contains my favorites, or most used polishes. I have all sorts of brands and colors. Though I feel like theres colors that I don't have.

My second drawer is random polishes that I wouldn't necessarily go for. All these polishes I really bought probably because I thought I would use but never did. I'm not a fan of pink, white, or yellow polishes. For some reason I feel like they just don't look right. Maybe I should try a different brand. 

These 3 polishes I recently purchased from Big Lots. They were $1.80 each. The names from left to right are   Studs & Stilettos, Happy Earth Day To Me, and Caught With My Khakis Down. From the original price to what Big Lots is selling them for its a steal! So head on over and pick up some polishes! They also have Color Show by Maybelline New York.

Do you have a favorite polish that you cant live without? Is there a brand that you prefer to use over others?

Let me know.

My Favorite Look: 56th Annual Grammy Awards

I wasn't going to make a big post of everyones looks because I feel all the blogs are covering that so I wanted to talk my favorite look of the night!

Kasey Musgraves looked amazing! Her dress is somehow weird yet fun and I absolutely love it because she wore it with so much confidence and thats what makes it look that much better! One thing I truly loved thought was when she was performing "Follow Your Arrow" off her album Same Trailer Different Park, her cowboy boots were lighting up! I thought that was so unique. She won 2 Grammy's last night which include Best Country Album (Same Trailer Different Park) and Best Country Song (Merry Go Round). I'm honestly a huge fan of hers because I love her songs. I always like to really listen to a song and read the lyrics to really know what the song is about and her music I just get without doing that. I was so happy for her wins and I cant wait for the sophmore album. Keep up the amazing work Kasey!
