PHOTO - SUNRISE IN LA

Just poppin' in. :)

Things have been a bit hectic for the past two weeks since I am moving in 15 days. Seeing the partial sun rise while takin' care of some things at the LA Air Force Base (yesterday) was nice & calming.  Thought I'd share the view!

Hope all is well, be back soon! X❤X❤, ~L

PASTEL WISHES // HELLO KITTY CELL PHONE COVER

Hello!  How's everyone doin?  Good I hope!

I had to pop in and show you the custom case I got two weeks ago from PASTEL WISHES!  You already know what it consists of, ha! (^_~)

Ms. Drea loves deco and specializes in embellished cell phone cases & jewelry.  She has a huge passion for Japanese culture and everything kawaii!  Everything she has learned about deco is self-taught and if you know anything about crafting these sort of items, it takes an incredible amount of patience!

I absolutely LOVE the case she made for me and plan to order more in the near future!  Ordering is easy on Etsy where all you have to do is make a $15 deposit, communicate with her via message/email to detail exactly what color schemes & deco items you'd like and then you'll receive your case in a timely manner.  Pricing is definitely competitive and in my opinion, affordable.  Drea is about her business and friendly!

There isn't a day where if I'm in a store, restaurant or place of business that someone sees my phone and asks me about it!

And for those who question the bulkiness, it is definitely a personal preference.  For me, I am still able to put it in my workout arm band and feel that it gives me a better grip on the phone.  There is no way that I can't see my phone when I'm lookin' for it in my handbag(s)! Haha.  Anyway, take a look... I love it!

HAIR // SHORT & CURLY

Blah. 

This is what I get for not bein' clear & specific to the person that cut my hair about keepin' my hair length.  My hair was at my booty and now it's at my bra strap/nipple area. 

Sigh. 

Oh well.  Good thing hair grows!  (No lie though, I was p*ssed off the day of)  Rawr!

So what's best for hair that's been cut too short in my book?  Curl it how I love it and most of y'all know I love my spiral curls!  You know I've been wanting to spiral curl, perm my hair since my days in Japan but that hair damage talk always stops me. 

Sigh x 2. 

Here's what my short hair looks like using my Baby Curlz Herstyler.  It takes me about 30 minutes to an hour depending on how on how thin/thick I want the curls to be.  With the pictures below, I actually did the curls thicker at the bottom and then thinner (more individual pieces as well) as I worked my way to the top & outside.  Apologies for the mediocre photos, I was too lazy to go grab the Canon so I used my iPhone instead. 

My bangs are lookin' crazy right?! Haha!  Ima keep it like that though, wild!  I'll be rockin' this look on Friday night (sis' birthday) but I think I'll opt for more individual, thinner pieces so I can be #MUFASA!  (^_^)  Yea... I'm lovin' curly hair right now! 

PS.  How dem brows look?  Entry soon, promise!

NAILS // SPOILED in "ANTS IN MY PANTS"

Happy Hump Day! This rain and cold are killin' me!

Went to CVS to try and take advantage of their BOGO on Revlon's nail polish but no luck.  They didn't have the two I was lookin' for - Starry Pink & Facets of Fuchsia.  I'll check another CVS tomorrow.

But of course I didn't want to leave empty handed so I got three cheap polishes.  Two from the "Spoiled" line in "Ants in my Pants" & "Jewelry Heist".  The other was from Wet n Wild in 435G (which reminds me of Milani's "Disco Lights").  I paid $1.99 for Spoiled and .99 for the WnW.  Not bad.

What's bad, though, was the application brush on the Spoiled enamels.  Just all kinds of f*cked up.  I'll post pics of the brush later when I do the second color.  It's a shame because I really think the formula itself is nice!

There was no rhyme or reason today, just mashin' colors together! Ha!  Take a look, whatcha think?

Used:

OPI in "The One That Got Away"

Spoiled in "Ants in my Pants"

Wet n Wild in "435G" (first finger)

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat (not pictured)

I love how it's a deep purple! (^_^)

Okay, I know it's been a week since I said I was goin' to do my eyebrow post.  I'm laggin' like no other because I can't decide if I want to just show you what I have or if I should have the long, detailed entry for you when everything is said and done.  I have my touch-up appointment this Friday which means another 7-10 days of healing time AND then, maybe another touch-up appointment.  I probably won't get to do a finished entry until the end of March or April!  (-___-)*  It's also the reason why I haven't done any FOTD's.  Sorry!  I'll figure it out!

I hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day!  Be back soon!

NAILS // MILANI NEON "PINK HOTTIE"

Happy Monday! 

New nail color! ❤

I like bright polishes.  Too bad Mr. Groundhog wants to give us 6 more weeks of Winter.  Oh well, I am not listening anyway. lol

I finally got to try out one of Milani's NEON nail lacquers and I'm lovin' it! 

Used:

Milani Nail Lacquer in Neon "Pink Hottie"

Nubar G188

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

I also got it in "Dude Blue".  I think I'll have to get the rest of them as well as most of the glitters.  My sister has a few of them and they look gooooooood. 

I'll be back soon, I'm workin' on my eyebrow post!

NAILS // OPIs "THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY" & "SPARKLE-LICIOUS"

Hello!

Thinkin' about usin' this color for Valentine's Day.  Gotta go through all my Konad stamps to see what I can add to it.  May choose a different glitter polish, too!  I like 'em super chunky!  Whatcha think?

Used:

OPI "The One That Got Away"

OPI "Sparkle-icous" (ring finger)

Be back soon! X❤X❤, ~L
