Ooops

I had only meant to take a week off from my blog, but, well, look what happened.

On March 6th we finally got our snow!  Here in Cville, we got anywhere from 8-13".  I think we ended up sweeping 10" of heavy snow off our car once it had stopped.  After whining all winter about never getting any real snow, my dad was right.  Even though it was late in the winter/early in the spring, I got my snow!  And even just Sunday we got about 6 more inches that was gone by Tuesday.  Ah well.

Then there was the ever lovely Mercury Retrograde which I let effect me and my life way more than I usually do.  I still almost feel like I am picking up the pieces, and we're already more then a week of post retrograde craziness.  Note to self: don't let this happen again in June.  Got it?

Along with the confusion and weirdness that comes with Retrograde, I've been dealing with so much fatigue lately.  I wonder if some of it has anything to do with the rough start of my year and finally catching up from it?  Anxieties and doubt have been at a high as well, and I know damn well this can really slow someone down.

But I'm back and trying, and I've documented a lot since I've posted so I've got a lot to share!  For those of you have stayed, Thank you, again.

Sorry to get a little personal, or more so than I have, but when self doubt crashes your party what are some ways that you find are helpful to take back?  Like I was talking with someone else, I know a lot of  it depends on the individual and the circumstances, but any ideas would be appreciated <3>

Trying to play catch up a bit on my day off!  Taken this past weekend which turned out to be much more quiet than I had originally planned, but this is not a bad thing.  The weather was chilly, but not cold like it had been so I opted to just layer like mad.  A little frumpy, yes, but I was comfortable.

Hard Candy 2013

[Hard Candy "Black tie optional"]

[Hard Candy "Black tie optional" and "Sugar rush"]

Right after New Year's I caught wind of the entire Hard Candy line of nail polishes being discontinued to make way for a revamped selection.  I wasn't thinking that I would have come across it so soon, but I'm glad that I did.  For the release there are 5 "collections" with 9 colours in each.  There are obvious hard nods towards indie polishes/finishes from heavy glitters, the black and white glitter, and the candy coated colour glitters made famous by indie polishes and Nails Inc.  

What I opted for was of course the black and white glitter(I had to buy two!) mix which contains a good amount of glitter in each swipe and no fishing was needed for me.  Two coats was fine, but I'd recommend using Gelous to tame the glitter a bit.  I am not one to mind a gritty feeling manicure, but when bar or tinsel glitter is involved it's a must!  The other I bought was "Sugar rush", but I've yet to wear this one.  In the photos it looks to be a blueish tint, but I swear when I look at it I see gray.  Either way it's pretty and it will be my first time trying the candy manicure.

Keep an eye out for these because there are definitely some fun shades to try!  They are only available at WalMart(wah wah), but they are worth a peek.
