DIY Newspaper Mani

1. Polish your nails a very light color
and let dry completely (very important)
 2. You will need scissors, a newspaper
and a small bowl of rubbing alcohol
3. Soak a finger in alcohol, let drip dry and place the newspaper down firmly onto nail without smudging.  Let dry and follow up with clear coat!

Oxon Hill Maryland

I'm a wee bit late on this, but better late than never.  My husband took me to the National Harbor last weekend and we now have a favorite new getaway to look forward to over long weekends.
I can't wait to go back when the weather is warmer. 
We stayed at the Westin right on the water, the room was really nice and bathroom was a definite stunner with an amazing glass shower and separate potty room.  We had a bev and caught some of the NBA Finals at the hotel bar.
 We slept like total babies (no cat or dog to wake us!)
 We can't wait to go back to Ketchup, not only was our meal great but the Roy Lichtenstein inspired decor had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.  The asparagus fries were bomb-diggity especially with their signature five flavors of ketchup.
 After dinner we took a nice stroll and found Cake Love.  Let's just say that I won't be visiting them again.  I got a strawberry iced chocolate cupcake and it was vile.  The icing was more like hard wax and the cake portion was borderline stale.  My other half enjoyed a peanut butter flavored cupcake that tasted a heck of a lot better than mine.  FAIL.
 
Roy and I both had our eyes on this canvas duffel bag displayed inside the Fossil shop in the bottom of our hotel.  We walked in to see how much it was and got caught up talking to the knowledgeable gentlemen that worked there.  I never in a million years thought/knew that Kors and Michelle watches are MADE BY FOSSIL!  While meandering around the store I found they had a slew of rose gold accessories, I couldn't leave the above there.  It's a perfect match to my watch and I just love it.
 
Thank you again for our little vacay V!

Project Doorstep

Since we're still renters, there isn't anything too permanent we can do to this house de$ign wi$e. Our doorstep was the epitome of blah until today. With the help of some red spray paint, a new doormat and a fun plant, our front door has literally stepped up it's game.  Don't forget to wipe your paws, sucka!

My Ultimate Dream Job

 Holy. Fucking. Shit.  Chandeliers made of blowdryers? Sick decorating? Fantastic concept?  Across the street from Ketchup?  Ladies and gents, alas I've found my dream job.  A salon that only does Blowouts, no cuts and no color.  Being that this is one of my favorite specialties, they need to open this chain on my coast ASAP!  I'm emailing them immediately.
Did I mention they use nothing but KERASTASE!?!?! Amaze.

Wednesday's Word

ubiquitous
(u·biq·ui·tous)

1. being or seeming to be everywhere, or in all places, at the same time.              2. omnipresent.


With so much going on in the workplace, I believe I have been quite ubiquitous at work this week.

Headboard Hungry

Cherished Chopping

 This has got to be the coolest cutting board I've ever laid my eyes on.  Found at Bloomies for $65, it's probably the most expensive chopping board I've ever come across too.  Not only is it dishwasher safe, it's also esthetically pleasing and now you never have to worry about spreading germs to veggies after you've cut raw chicken, forget about salmonella people!  I must have these, and fast.

Free Cheryl's Cookies


Not familiar?  Boy are you in for a treat.  Just visit Cheryl's and for a limited time pay just the shipping ($6.95) and receive her six most popular cookies.  You'll also get a free $10 gift card to use on your next purchase!  I sent them to my husband and my parents and I'm actually thinking of treating myself.  There goes my six pack.  Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Lash Stash Check In #4

It has been quite a while and it's definitely that time for another check in! For my fourth assessment I chose multiplEYE by tarte in black. ($24) This one claims to "fortify lashes by naturally increasing the appearance of lash volume by 638%" (What a crock of shit) As a selling tactic they recommend it's use with "multiplEYE clinically proven natural lash enhancing primer for an incredible 1102% increase in the appearance of lash volume" somehow I'm not a believer. I knew from the first swipe onto my lashes that I disliked this choice, so I won't waste too much more time on this post, sorry guys. I'm just simply not a fan.

This mascara gets a C.
Stay tuned, there are 6 more to go!

Split Second Shine


Dull hair gotcha down?  I've got just the product to fix your frazzled ends.  I actually picked this up at lunch today and used it after my break in the bathroom.  (The smell is just as great as the original oil too!) I was shocked at the instant shine factor and would totally recommend this Moroccan Oil Glimmer Shine Spray ($28) to anyone without fine hair.
