Nail Varnish of the Week

During my lovely relaxing night in, my lovely roommate offered to do my nails for me so how could I pass up such an offer?

She did a half moon on my nails with my two favorite colors, grey and black, with binder reinforcements to keep the lines clean! The black is the usual black color that I have featured in past posts.


The Essie color I borrowed from my roommate was "Power Clutch." According to the Essie site, it is green color but like, c'mon that's so grey. 


It took about three coats for the color to get to that color. It dried quite fast and amazing to take off. Essie may be a bit pricey but they definitely have the best nail varnish in the business.


Stay Fab!

Chill Saturday Night In

College is awesome. A time to go out, meet people, hit up the bars but somedays, you just need a relaxing night in. And that is just what I did this past Saturday. If you ever want a relaxing night in, just check out this blogpost for some ideas!

My skin has been acting up a lot lately as I have been working out more and eating healthier (my body is in complete shock to be truthful) so I decided to have a makeup free night and treat myself a bit. I first started with a Facial Clay Mask in Avocado and Oatmeal.

Put it on a damp face, wait of for it to dry and harden, then wash off with warm water. Pat dry.

These were all the products I used during the night on my face. The Freeman's Facial Clay Mask Avocado and Oatmeal Mask. After my face was pat dried, I put my SeaRX Birchsap Moisturizing Cream, which I received in my November Ipsy bag and I love! Throughout the night, if my skin felt a bit dry, I applied my All Day Moisture Lotion, in the CVS brand, but it is just like the Olay lotion. To keep those lips moist all night, I used my Wet n Wild Juicy Lip Balm. My hair always loves to get in my face on relaxing nights in, so I tied it back with a simple scrunch!

Since giving up soda, I have gotten back on my teeth whitening regiment aka putting these strips on my teeth for 30 minutes once a day. The Crest 3D Whitestrips with Advanced Seal are a tad expensive but these are the best I found that are worth the money!

After taking care of my skin and teeth, I decided to do a bit of baking. These were so easy to make! Each packet of Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix make about 6 muffins and costs around $1.50 so I bought two packets and went to work.

In a large mixing bowl, I put both packets in and since each packet called for 1/2 cup of water, I put in 1 cup of water and mixed! Yummmmy.

After greasing up the pan, I filled up each up about halfway and popped them in oven at 350F for 20 minutes.

Of course, while they were baking, the ever important BuzzFeed quizzes took over. So much fun on a relaxing night in.

20 minutes and bam, the delicious muffins were done and looking delicious.

Before settling in for the night, I made a cuppa which of course I use Lipton Black Tea, a bit of Domino Sugar and Skim Milk. 

That is the end of my relaxing night in! Some facials, moisturizing, whitening, baking muffins, tea all happened and it all ended with a marathon of Gossip Girl, starting with the Season 1 Episode 1. I hope you enjoyed this bit different of a blogpost. It was certainly a lovely night in, as much as I love going out and hanging with friends, sometimes a cozy night in on a snowy fall day is all you need.

I also did my nails, well my roommate did my nails, so be sure to follow my blog to see this week's Nail Varnish of the Week!

Nail Varnish of the Week

Neon yellow nails are the only way I feel like I add a burst of color (other than my hair) to my very dark and grey outfits during the fall. It takes a few coats (about 6 or 7) but they last about a week and I always get compliments on my insanely nontraditional fall nails.

Note: it makes you look tanner than you really are. 

The nail color is Nina Ultra Pro "Solar Flare." They are certainly a bit of the sun. 

This is by far the best neon yellow I have found. Many require so many coats that the base coat never seems to dry, therefore smudging like one hour into having them painted but this nail varnish dries fast!

Until next time fancy fingers.

XOXO -M.S.
