Short Absence

Hey ladies! Sorry I haven't been posting :( My computer died and I haven't been able to load pictures or post. I'm expecting my new computer tomorrow so I should be back to regular posting by thursday or friday, depending on how long it takes me to get all my pictures transferred and everything re-organized. Thanks for being understanding!

I miss you ladies!

Update...

Sorry I've been absent the last couple of days. I got attacked by a pit bull and my arm isn't in very good shape. Not good enough to want to try and polish, anyway. I wanted to stop by and give you guys a quick update so that you know I'm not abandoning you! I'll be getting back to regular posts as soon as I can have a swatch day (maybe tomorrow?). I'm bandaged from my wrist to my elbow on my right arm, so it's kind of hard to navigate semi-simple things :(

In the mean time, keep on entering my contest!! You can find a link to it on the left side under popular posts :)

I've missed interacting with you guys!

Thanks for sticking with me

restoring my faith in humanity

Sorry today's post isn't nail related, but I thought I'd share a story with you all:

I work at a fast food chain restaurant, and sometimes people come in that don't have much. They try to scrape enough together just to get a little one dollar item to keep themselves fed. Today, a man like this came in. He is homeless had been drinking, but you could tell he hadn't eaten in a while. He had a beaten up can of cheap ravioli and asked if he could have it heated up and a large soda to go with it. Of course, we couldn't heat up his ravioli, but I tried to sell him the soda. He didn't have enough to get the large soda, so I gave him a smaller one with a discount to be able to fit his means. He complained that it wasn't big enough. Eventually, he sat down in the dining room quietly and began to eat his ravioli cold and right out of the can.

A few minutes before this all happened, a man came in just as anyone else would and ordered his meal. I didn't think twice about this man until he came back up to the register and asked to buy another meal (the biggest one we have). I asked him if it was to go (because he had already eaten), but he told me he was buying it for the man with the ravioli. I couldn't believe it. I simply told him that he was very kind and gave him the receipt for the food. As I turned away, I couldn't help but tear up. This man went out of his way to help out another man in need. The homeless man didn't express any gratification. Didn't even say thank you. Even so, the other man left the building with a smile, knowing that he had done something that not many are willing to do.

If I could meet this man again, I would tell him that he is the most kind person I have met in a very long time.

Please, if any of you know people out there that are this kind, let them know. They need to be appreciated. And if you are one of these people, I appreciate you.

This was just what I needed at the end of a long work week (for me, anyway).

Another Tag! Would You Rather? 2011 Edition :)

I really love keeping up with the nail and beauty community on youtube and this tag has been floating around :) I thought I would share it with you all! It's a bit more beauty oriented, but I know most of you are into that junk too :) I tag everyone!

QUESTIONS:

1.) Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows? not my eyeshadows! haha I've invested far too much money in them

2.) Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again? chop it off

3.) Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek? pink :)

4.) If you had $1000 to spend, Would you rather buy clothes or makeup? nail polish!!

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick? eyeliner as lipstick

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora? I love MAC, but I have to say Sephora

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life? one lip color

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter? winter clothes in summer, only because if I wore summer clothes in the winter where I live, I'd probably die.

9.) Would you rather dark nails or bright nails all year round? dark for sure

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product? favorite lip product

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun? probably messy bun

12.) Would your rather never being able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss? never use lipgloss! I would cry if I could never paint my nails again :(

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all? or sharpie them in everyday? could I use a method other than sharpie? Sharpie, I guess...

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish? ooh, hard. ummmmm. I suppose I'd live without makeup because you can find stuff to tint your face with like in the olden days. There's really no replacement for my precious polish :)

I love you all, dear readers!
