Summer Neon Days and Nights!


Summer Neon Days and Nights!

In my opinion, nail polish is a very important part of an outfit, a necessary accessory that gives a spark to your personality, a pop of color to your hands and appearance. I am a girl who constantly changes nail polish colors, experiments with different styles, and color combinations.

Summer is in full swing with its hot days and coolish nights which bring so much fun. Admit it to youself, summer gives us a chance to go all out on colors, experiment with different shades, and choose ridiculously bright and funky ones.

So what does the nail polish obsession and summer give us?

Nail Polish+Summer= NEONS

Yes, Yes, and Yes. The neon colors are wildly in right now. Starting from shoes, to clothes, to accessories, to make up and beauty products, neon colors rule the season. In this blog, I want to bring to your attention, my list of favorite colors for this summer that go with bright outfits and add a little flare to more neutral colors. Here’s a list of my Summer 2012 nail polish favorites (From left to right as shown in the main picture):



Wet n Wild – Club Havana
Essie – Lights
Orly – Gumdrop
Forever 21 (Love & Beauty) – Neon Yellow
Forever 21 (Love & Beauty) – Avocado
Essie – E-nuf is E-nuf
Divided by H&M – Workout Orange
Divided by H&M – Stuck in Yellow
Hedy’s – Ma.nish.ma ( Matte)

This is the list of my summer favorites. I also try using this colors together doing ombre. Try an orange like the Wet n Wild, Club Havana and Essie’s Lights. Another great ombre style is chosing a certain color and painting your nails each one shade lighter. Turns out amazing.

So grab a few bright neon nail polishes and start experimenting your best summer nail polish look. Have fun!

Yet Another Bath and Body Haul!!!



Yet Another Bath and Body Haul!
About a week ago one of my co-workers was telling us how she went to Bath and Body works and purchased a lot of new products because of the amazing sale that they had! I, of course being the crazy obsessed lover of Bath and Body, decided to find out what sale was going on in the stores. I went to their web site and realized that I completely forgot about their SEMI-ANNUAL 75% sale! Needless to say that I ran to the store the next day.



After spending hours and hours in the store, I came out with a bag of new goodies that I needed some restocking on. Here is the list of the items that I purchased while at the store:

Shower Gels (Note-the full size shower gels were only $3!)
Butterfly Flower – Vibrant and feminine fragrance of a butterfly garden in full bloom
Rays of Citrus- A clean and refreshing burst of lime zest and white tea blossom with a hint of ginger
Dancing Waters- A refreshing scent inspired by cool water flowing through a field of flowers


Anti-Bacterial Hand Soaps (The full size hand soaps were $3!)
Paris Amour- Deep Cleansing, Fruity, Sweet
Warm Vanilla Sugar- Deep Cleansing, Sweet, Vanilla


Anti-Bacterial Hand Gels (The regular deal of 5 for $5!)
Mango Berry Sparkler- Fruity
Pink Chiffon (Bought 2, my current favorite) - Has a little shimmer in it, Sweet, Fresh
Vanilla Berry Sorbet- Vanilla+ Berries= Amazingness
I <3 Watermelon! Apple- Fruity, Sweet


In terms of the shower gels, I usually go for sweet scents that usually have either vanilla or coconut in them; however, this time I decided to get clean, fresh, citrusy scents for summer. I am loving the Rays of Citrus for its refreshing and tangy scent.  The shower gels by Bath and Body never disappoint. They always last a long time as well as leave my skin soft and glowing every time.
The hand soaps is something that I recently started using. I really like how they smell and make my skin feel; however, instead of using that as hand soap, I use it as a face cleanser in the shower! Works amazing for me.
The hand gels, I will never tire talking about. They always make my hands smell divine, give them softness, and of course keep them clean!
Lastly, they are going to have a new signature collection coming, and if you shop at the stores or online from July 9th until August 5th, you will receive one free signature collection item of your choice with any purchase of $10 or more!

Hope my review is helpful! Have a good day!

Off Topic Steamy Fun!


Off Topic Fun!!!!
As I go along with my blogging, you will find out that I am a hopeless bookworm. I LOVE books!!! Doesn’t matter if you give me a Dostoyesvky classic or a steamy short romance novel or an action packed fiction;  I will grab it by both hands. With my little introduction made, I would like to talk about book series that EVERYONE talks about! Yes, you guessed it! 50 Shades of Grey!!!!

If you haven’t read the series, this blog might have spoilers for you! If you haven’t read it, get to it!
I’ve started reading the book a little before it became viral. There are three books in the series, and all three books revolve around the main characters, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steel.

Let me start off by saying that these series are simply amazing. If you are one of those people that gets their kick of romance out of books like this one, this book is for you. It is packed with lots and lots of love, sex, and mystery. It is absolutely amazing to read about their relationship, their ups and downs, and their spats and make up scenes. Your inner hopeless romantic will fall in love with Grey and the way he adores and treats Anastasia.

The book is a very light read; however, it teaches about human relationships. It shows that no relationship is easy. You have happy and sad moments, you have two different personalities trying to adapt to each other, you have complications and hardships that you have to overcome together.

With all this being said, pick up the book, get a smoothie or a cocktail, and enjoy the books!
