and the winner is ....

So... the vlog thing didn't work out this time. Hopefully I can post a fun blog soon though to make up for it. However , using randomizer.org I determined the winner of the hello kitty giveaway is Mesha! Check out her awesome blog.

Congratulations to Mesha! DM me your mailing address on twitter or something so I can get your goodies sent to you!

I have lots of things to talk about since I haven't blogged in awhile. First of all I am planning a review/guide site with Michael. We'll be reviewing restaurants, stores, other points of interest and let me just say our website is going to be GOOD.

I did a review of six kinds of vanilla yogurt and will be posting that up soon with pictures, of course.

And I found some amazing boots at this crazy little mall in Tacoma called B&I. If you're not familiar, don't worry, it will be one of the establishments Michael and I review and we'll tell you all about it. Not sure what I'll wear 'em with but check out the pictures:





The lighting was dark, but they're a really pretty white manmade leather with antiqued gold/brass hardware. Amazing details. PEEP TOE. buckles. Straps. Zipper embellishments, cool stitching detail, inner zipper for easy on/off and a wonderful mix of textures including patent leather, regular leather and gold metallic. Maybe I'll do an outfit post once I figure out what I can wear with them.

AAhhhh, I promise the winner of the hello kitty giveaway WILL be announced asap. Couldn't figure out how to edit my video.

Moving on...

My friends and I like to play "category" games a lot where you pick a category and then take turns coming up with things that would fit into the category. Some categories are as plain as "makes of cars" or "neighborhoods of Seattle." Sometimes they get a little more silly. Such as: cliche phrases that when inappropriately used to refer to pooping are hilarious. Have been playing this with my friends with wonderfully hilarious results.

Examples include: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

and my favorite which I am proud to say I came up with: Loose lips sink ships.

Do you have any more ideas? They have to cliches that do not normally refer to pooping. It's a fun game.

Giveaway soon + my free Zoya!

I'm coming up on my 150th post and I'll be doing a giveaway to celebrate! I have one more Hello Kitty for MAC nail polish I'm willing to give away and some other fun HK stuff.

For now though I have some pictures to share with you. Do you know of Zoya nail polish? It's formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate & camphor free. Recently they had a very cool promotion where they gave away three nail polishes free to celebrate reaching their goal of 5000 twitter followers. These are the colors I picked:


Loredana, Casey and Laurie.

I love gray nail polish so I decided to do Loredana with french tips using my Hello Kitty for MAC On the Prowl (the lighter gray).


Just Loredana ...

Close up.

Loredana is a really amazing matte velvet finish. The pictures don't really capture how matte it really is. And the lighter gray polish has a normal amount of shine to it. I really like the contrast in texture.

I initially heard of Zoya through All Lacquered Up's blog (which btw is an amazing and addictive blog). Zoya only sells their products online and to professional salons so that's prob why, but far I'm loving their polish and had a good experience with them.

Now we'll just see how long I can keep this manicure looking good ... I am not nice to my nails.
