Reheating Fast Food French Fries!

I love fries.... I mean I am from Idaho... But I think some of you share the same frustration when you order a burger and fries and see half the container of fries being dumped onto the ground because not only will you not be able to finish them, but reheating them is impossible.

NOT ANYMORE!

Two of my Favorite Things: Troops and My Dog

Amazing story ahead about the love for one's own country and for one's own true best friend. Get the tissues ready, it is a good one. I would have read this and cried without a dog, but now that I do- there were a few sobs with a smile on! 

Being that two of my closest friends are in the Army and currently are/have been deployed overseas, this story touches home. Their courage and selflessness has helped me see that if they can give their lives for us, the least we can give them is a thank you. I can't even hear the national anthem without tearing up now. Thank you all for what you do, we all appreciate it. You are the bravest that the country has ever had the pleasure of knowing.


With that being said, I got my black lab puppy named Cash in February of 2012 and he is more than I could ever ask for. He has brought many life lessons that I needed and couldn't figure out how to ask for to me. He came at the perfect time and although he is still a baby, 7 months on April 11, he wants to make me happy so much. Our capability is through the roof and I can't imagine being without him right now. Love has a new meaning since I have had him. Also, yes, he is named after the Man in Black, Johnny Cash. He is a BLACK lab- how could I not? 

Swatches: Worth it!

Okay, so it has been incredibly hectic lately and please forgive me for the brief hiatus. So since I am addicted to looking at nail designs on Pintrest, and addicted to painting my own (sorry nails! I swear I'm changing!), seeing people painting nail acrylic tips so they don't paint their nails daily like I thought was a great plan. I know better now and ordered 500 clear acrylic full size tips and I think with tax and shipping, they cost $6.03 or something....? But I found them at the Born Pretty store! So worth it. Then I hot glued them to a toothpick, when you are hot gluing be careful that the nail doesn't melt. Before you stick the toothpick on the inside of nail, let it cool for a second or two before you make contact of the two. Then I took masking tape and wrapped it around the base with it's name, it's brand, and how many coats I used on the swatch. Also ended up cutting up an empty tissue box and messing around with it enough to use the other half as slot dividers. This whole thing took me about two weeks... but it was also an incredibly busy two weeks. This is an awesome weekend project and your nails will thank you!

A Fantastic Summer Drink

So I have really been craving lemonade, so obviously I made some. For one it is cheaper, and for two it just tastes better. Probably because it is made with love. But I thought to myself, "I don't want just plain lemonade.... whats the easiest way to fix this problem?" Well I have the solution for that dilemma right here. Not only does it taste fantastic, but it helps you use those frozen berries that have been sitting in your freezer for what seems like a decade.

New (to me) Polishes Happening Soon!

I ordered some new polishes from Amazon because I had a gift card there from returning textbooks. So I spent about two hours comparing and contrasting and researching and finding the dupes, it any, and found these bad boys!
So excited!!!

Will update when they arrive, you can expect a blog review about them. Yay!

OPI - It's My Year

This polish is definitely top 10 on my favorites list. It is pretty sheer after one coat but then once the second one is on you can't tell one bit. Great for water marbling too ;) I know I am probably way behind on the polish phases. Oh well! 

2 Months With My Cash:)

 The very right top picture is him the day I got him, and the middle picture I literally took tonight. 

He looks like a great dane in this one!

Yes, that blade of grass is too much for him.  

Look at more precious pictures of my pooch here!
