don't mess with texas.

1. First of all, does anyone else out there watch Friday Night Lights? {or F.N.L. as we lovingly refer to it around our house} Two words: TIM RIGGINS. We started watching it starting with Season 1 in January. It's so dang good. Every night we looked forward to coming home and watching our show. Anyway, it just ended forever on Season 5, so we still are waiting for the final season to come out. 

{the suspense is killing us!} 

2. We have been planning a trip to Texas in June to visit my hubby's BFF.  I was so excited!! 'Specially after watching "F.N.L."... but due to some changes in our life...{more on that later}...{and NOOOO I am not pregnant}... it looks like the trip will have to wait. :( Someday...someday...

#3. Just when I was all hyped up about all this TEXAS stuff, O.P.I. goes out and does it again! Presenting.......

Oh snap! I am loving "Guy Meets Gal-veston", "Don't Mess With OPI",

 & "Houston, we have a Purple."

I am heading to the beauty supply store today... looks like I have some new investments to make!

Clear eyes. Full hearts.

TEXAS FOREVER! 

{it's an FNL thing. go watch it. seriously!}

Kicking the Winter Blues...

Winter is {hopefully} winding down. It seems like this winter has been going for 757 million days. Bleh! I am so sick of it and dying for some warm sunshine to kiss my skin again. Here are a few beauty splurges to help you survive the last few weeks of winter, and get ready for the swimsuit\flip-flop season!

 Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Sugar Scrub- They have 7 fragrances that each have a different purpose. {Stress Relief, Sensuality, Sleep, or Energy} $16.00 or Buy 2 get 1 free. {great gift idea!}

Jergens Natural Glow- Daily moisturizer/Sunless Tanner- I absolutely love this product. Have you used it? It's fantastic for an everyday moisturizer. I put it on after my daily shower. I love how it gradually gives you a healthy looking glow. It's not so crazy that it turns you orange and it blends really well so you don't have to worry about huge streaks or stripes. 

You can find it at most grocery stores for about $9.00.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails- We all want to have great "Summer Toes." This product will help prevent chipping, splitting and cracking of the nails. It gives nails a hard, smooth, chip-resistant surface that helps strengthen and support nails. It has a powerful, long-lasting protection to help nails grow. You can get it in clear, or three other very light pinkish colors. Men can easily use this product to help get their "summer toes" up to par as well. {Trust me, I was introduced to this by a very important man in my life....{not my husband}

You can also find this at local grocery stores... 

There are 3 products to get you started on your Summer-Prep. More tips to come!!


Do you have some favorites that you can't live without? 

And while we're at it...

Have I told you about my favorite thing when it comes to doing my nails?

If there is one thing I am not good at- it's holding still. So it's no surprise that I LOVE this amazing spray by O.P.I. called "Rapidry."

You just spray it on about 30 seconds after applying your nail polish and your nails will be dry in the blink of an eye!

... Okay, maybe not that fast.

But is seriously does make your nails dry to much more quickly than normal. It is a really great product that I highly recommend!

Holiday Nails

I busted out my good ol' nail polish basket tonight,

in search of the perfect "Holiday Shade"

to beautify my nails with.

I pulled out "Crimson Carol" by OPI.

I got it a few months ago, with the holidays in mind.

I am LOVING it.

It's a really beautiful sparkly red.

It's a good shade for my pasty winter skin, too.

Sometimes it's hard for me to find the perfect red.

I declare this one a WINNER!

We need to look polished and primed for all of our holiday parties this year!!

P.S. Have you seen the complete "Holiday\Burlesque" collection?

I think every shade would be great for the holidays.

Craving Fall?

Have you guys seen the new

"SWISS" O.P.I. collection?

Let's just say there are several colors I am dying to get my hands on.

They all look so beautiful!

They got me dreaming of Fall!

Craving the yummy soups, wearing boots and scarves...

YUM!

Plus, don't tell my husband... but I am getting excited for Football Season!

Anyway, you must check this new line out and pick yourself out one or two new fall colors. They were all so equally beautiful and I am sure you will love them too!

I am usually not one to go for green nails...

But I purchased this color on Saturday morning.

Cuckoo For Color.

I haven't tried it yet, but I promise I will soon and let you

know how I like it.

I think it will be so great for fall!
