"We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy; we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that’ll fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it’s a condition, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent. It comes and goes, and that’s okay."

NOTW: butterLondon British Racing Green

I got a new camera! Even though it's only a point and shoot, hopefully I can take better quality pictures instead of relying on instagram. Enjoy the post!

butterLondon - British Racing Green


Although the shimmer is apparent under the light, on the nail
the polish only looks glossy with little to no trace of shimmer.

Opaque in two coats!

First Bath & Body Works Haul(s)




Bath & Body Works Haul #1 
4 oz. Cinnamon Sugared Donut
4 oz. Cinnamon Sugared Donut
4 oz. Leaves
1.3 oz. Apple Crumble (I've heard from a BBW sales associate that this scent will be discontinued.) 
1.3 oz. Pumpkin Caramel Latte
Total (Before Tax) = $22.00 USD

After I burned my cinnamon sugared donut candle, I was hooked. I never knew anything could smell so delicious. Seriously the next day I went to another Bath & Body Works store to pick up more of the 4 oz. candles since the $5 deal was ending soon. 

Bath & Body Works Haul #2
4 oz. Pumpkin Cupcake
4 oz. Frosted Cranberry (Winter Scent)
4 oz. Pumpkin Caramel Latte
4 oz. Pumpkin Caramel Latte
4 oz. Cinnamon Sugared Donut
4 oz. Leaves
Total (Before Tax) = $20.00 USD

I ended up picking up six...yes...SIX more candles on the second day. I just couldn't pass up the deal. The total cost for this trip was actually less from my previous haul.

Revlon Colorstay Nail Polish in Spanish Moss

Nail Color: 1 Coat Revlon Spanish Moss (w/ a few touch ups)
I picked up this polish after seeing one of Ingrid's (aka Missglamorazzi) "Get Ready With Me" YouTube videos. Once I saw the color I was hooked and immediately went to DuaneReade (~$8.50 USD) to pick it up. When I got there I had trouble choosing between Revlon's Spanish Moss and Essie's Sew Psyched. Both shades are very similar and are definitely good dupes for each other. I ultimately went with Revlon's Spanish Moss because it was noticeably more opaque. Although there is less product contained in the Revlon polish, I knew that Spanish Moss would be a better purchase since it requires less coats per manicure. This polish is an amazing fall color! Definitely a must have!

Base Coat: Nailtiques Nail Protein Formula 2 Plus
