I'm really into just wearing powder, and hot pink blush brought up a bit under my eyes, mascara, and lip balm or gloss. VERY simple, but also very striking.<br />

The hot pink was placed JUST on the tip, the free-edge, and a little under the nail. It was supposed to look fiber-optic, or like those shitty pink drawing pads that when you press down on them, they turn hot pink.. then you have to lift the plastic to 'clear' your drawing. Does anyone know what I'm talking about??<br />

This photo was taken with my very best friend, Chelsea.. Don't you LOVE the natural heart formation in the rock?! This was at Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Maybe I'll post more pictures from our trip there. She visited me in Colorado from Taos, New Mexico before I moved away to California. Unfortunately, She had JUST moved 5 hours away from me.. then we moved!!! We're already planning our next visit =) Enjoy your week!</div>prettybottleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203624009700854833noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087312350410069356.post-43274853010905167602012-03-12T12:34:00.000-06:002012-03-12T12:34:39.210-06:00Most recent nail polish, and top serious NEWS<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Hello all! </span><span style="text-align: left;">Since my last post a lot has happened; we have moved to Los Angeles, California!!!! We're settling in amazingly.. Our new place is perfect, the weather is to die for, and honestly.. I don't miss Colorado in any way. There must be something about the altitude, cold, lack of humidity, lack of sun, or all of the above that made me feel not quite right/depressed. Ever since I've been here I've felt normal again, my energy has come back, and my skin is getting better. I can say with certainty that I have no desire to move back, and that this was a really good idea =)<br />

Michael is now working for a company called Chiat/Day, the do advertising for Apple, Nike, and other large companies.. He's loving it, and they are respectful of his time and sanity. Here's a video of their badass office: </span><br />

I used a Color Club - Oh Naturale as the base, and Orly - Sweet Peacock on the tips. Do you like this look? I used to HATE the way Oh Naturale looked on me by itself, but It's interesting with another color.</div>prettybottleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203624009700854833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087312350410069356.post-29220892716846652302011-12-04T13:54:00.001-07:002011-12-04T13:57:54.058-07:00short watermelon post<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">i know it's been done before, but these colors are delicious together.. pink and green are also the colors related to the heart chakra! i used all new Aromaleigh colors for this look. lately, all the sample bags from the new AL collections have just been out on my vanity, since they are still exciting =)<br />
<br />
so.. next weekend we will be traveling to Los Angeles, CA. it'll be from friday - sunday. i'm pretty excited, thought it will be a short, dreamlike trip. i can't wait to talk more about it, but for now i'll leave you with that tidbit.<br />
<br />
i used: AL - Nina, Al - Saiph, AL - Altair, AL - Marni, AL - Love's Easy Tears.<br />

<br />
i used: Manic Panic Vampire red on new growth blended down, and Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink on the ends and blended well into the other color.<br />
later, i put Manic Panic Ultra Violet all over it!<br />
<br />
these are the pics from right after it was done.<br />

i plan on growing it out even longer, and totally leaving my bangs alone. i've come to the conclusion that bangs are too much of a pain and i'd rather have them long enough to forget about. here's a photo of my inspiration for tomorrow, and i want more of the canteloupe-orange than is pictured here:<br />

<br />
i have decided to do my very best to feed my son organic non-GMO produce, grass-fed free range meat/eggs, no corn syrup, no over-the-top sugary baked goods, ice cream, or shitty 'empty' food like mac-n-cheese or ramen noodles. i believe that the first years of life are the most important in terms of building up a strong and balanced body, mind, and beliefs. my beliefs on organic and non GMO are that.. yes, organic IS the best way because not only is it better for your body, it's best for the earth. think of the pesticides sprayed onto crops, and the runoff of those pesticides.. where do they go? into our water, streams, rivers, lakes.. insects and other animals pick them up as well. consuming non-GMO is important because little research has been done on how genetically modified foods affect the human body. the concept of 'you are what you eat' is taken very literally.. when we eat meat from a cow that has been cooped up in a dark and gross enclosure, denied its natural habit of grazing, and fed empty corn/grains, what are we really getting out of that? that cow probably felt terrible its whole entire life, and now we are eating an animal that felt terrible. i will provide some interesting and educational links in case you're interested in learning more.<br />
<br />
it's also important to try and find produce locally, in your area. you're doing good here because you are supporting your community, and encouraging home-grown food instead of dumping the responsibility onto a larger corporation to provide food for us. just go ahead and google 'Monsanto'. some changes have happened, and 'organic' doesn't always mean non-GMO. it's important to find out if your local organic farmers are also non-GMO.<br />
--------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
http://www.nongmoproject.org/about/gmo-faqs/ - What are GMOs?<br />
GMOs (or “genetically modified organisms”) are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called genetic engineering, or GE). This relatively new science allows DNA from one species to be injected into another species in a laboratory, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.<br />
<br />
Are GMOs safe?<br />
In 30 other countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production of GMOs, because they are not considered proven safe. In the U.S. on the other hand, the FDA approved commercial production of GMOs based on studies conducted by the companies who created them and profit from their sale. Many health-conscious shoppers find the lack of rigorous, independent, scientific examination on the impact of consuming GM foods to be cause for concern.<br />

<br />
"In the 1950s, farmers began using chemical fertilizers and pesticides to help increase their crop. But since then, weeds, insects, and diseases—the very things the chemicals fought—have developed resistance to the pesticides. This led to the development and use of even stronger pesticides. Not only are the pesticides stronger, but they also have to be used more often to be effective. Although the use of pesticides since the 1950s has dramatically increased, the same percentage of crops have been lost to pests as before farmer began using these chemicals.<br />
The International Food Policy Research Institute conducted a study that showed 40% of the world’s soil is depleted due to:<br />
<br />
* Erosion – from planning the same crop over and over again, in the same spots<br />
* Nutrient Depletion – from using chemical fertilizers<br />
* Salinization – the increase of salt in soil due to excessive irrigation.<br />
<br />
Organic farming methods can reverse this damage, while also making healthy soil. The methods used in organic farming include crop rotation, careful water use (and controlling runoff), and using fertilizers like compost and manure instead of chemicals."<br />

my habit of becoming intensely obsessed with something hasn't stopped, so i'm going to share with you what i'm learning about in depth right now. CULTS. here are a couple of books i'm going to be devouring in the next few weeks:<br />

Last night I tried making a pair of 3D triangle earrings.. the first one didn't turn out so well, kind of like the runt of the litter haha. The second one turned out way better and I'm kind of proud of it, so I put my hair up and left some down on the right side to cover up the fact that I am wearing one unique earring. I threw on an inside out black band shirt and added a scarf. <br />

My makeup is very, very simple: face powder/concealer, brows, mascara, lipstick, and one eyeshadow. I used Aromaleigh's Fidelius and the lipstick is Maybelline 235 - 'Warm Me Up'... I got it yesterday because while looking at the display, I noticed that there was only one left. It must be good =)<br />

Maybe not, but it's a cool thought! Here's a nice look from a few days ago. I used some Aromaleigh shades from the Valentine's '09 collection, and some purple glitter that I mysteriously acquired.. probably from BLIX =) Please excuse the eyebrow mess, I have since tamed them to perfection.. you'll see soon.

I am going to bed right now (in a moment) so I can wake up and take Jonas to the <a href="http://www.boulderlibrary.org/">Boulder Public Library</a> for 'toddler time'. It's basically story time, but for toddlers only! I think it's more focused on the child than everyone zoning out to someone reading a book. Also, we will bring bread to feed the ducks =) I am super excited about it! <br />
<br />
The comforter set I ordered from Macy's arrived today and I am in love with it! I'd purchased the sheets last week in store. Here's a photo of what I got: <br />

I need to get 2 pillows to put inside the shams, so I'll do that tomorrow too! <b style="color: #351c75;">What color bedskirt should I get? </b>I was thinking dark purple, or lime green. <br />

Today I want to share this scarf idea I stole from another blog: - <a href="http://kendieveryday.blogspot.com/2011/02/day-to-date-night.html">Kendi Everyday</a> - She as some seriously amazing outfit looks and comes up with all kinds of ideas for different pieces. I've had this weird 80's shapes scarf for like, 8 years and have NEVER used it til last weekend. The shirt I had on under it is a little baggy on its own, so I used Kendi's idea with it. I got the stretchy belt at Urban Outfitters.<br />

I've gathered a good amount of energy to post a good post. I recently made a small Aromaleigh order (WAT?? They are still open?? I know, right?). I got 6 full sized jars and I want to show you the pretty colors!! I got a sample set of the Valentine09 collection too, I am fully impressed. <br />
<span style="color: purple;">*This post will only prove how nerdy I am about describing color.*</span><br />
Fidelius - This is a gold eyeshadow with tiny red glitter in it and rainbow sparks. The shadow itself seems dull at first, but when applied is so soft and magnificent. You should see it in the sun, GOD.<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Z7-EA7GO1wg/TXFePCggYnI/AAAAAAAAAn4/yP-XzmUiHps/s1600/Fidelius1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Z7-EA7GO1wg/TXFePCggYnI/AAAAAAAAAn4/yP-XzmUiHps/s320/Fidelius1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This is what it looks like in the sun, applied!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xu4n9rKvF-Q/TXFeRImxv2I/AAAAAAAAAn8/2AzvsbBmnAQ/s1600/Fidelius2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xu4n9rKvF-Q/TXFeRImxv2I/AAAAAAAAAn8/2AzvsbBmnAQ/s320/Fidelius2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Eos - Don't be fooled by this soft looking red. It's hiding some dark purple glitter from you and a gold sheen! This one might actually have magical properties.<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BeyFwYdBNGw/TXFd_F5-QiI/AAAAAAAAAnw/QeSx90E7QgA/s1600/Eos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="279" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BeyFwYdBNGw/TXFd_F5-QiI/AAAAAAAAAnw/QeSx90E7QgA/s320/Eos.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Impossible Things - I was initially uninspired by the sample bag I got. At the time, I was overwhelmed with all the samples I had received and didn't pay much attention to it. Recently I wanted to use a green I'd never used, and this one may be my new favorite. Perfect neutral green with bright blue sparks.. they don't fade away when applied, either.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dv4AmMti768/TXFexfVaM-I/AAAAAAAAAoE/nD61WBpS43w/s1600/Impossiblethings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dv4AmMti768/TXFexfVaM-I/AAAAAAAAAoE/nD61WBpS43w/s320/Impossiblethings.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<div style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>-Astronomical Shades-</b></span></div>Nadir - I got this one for one reason: it reminded me of Urban Decay's Sin. It definitely resembles it when applied, with the addition of peachy-pink sparks and a pale, milky blue undertone. The shadow itself leans warmer and is SO much better than sin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8d-_hyiFsGk/TXFfOfwozkI/AAAAAAAAAoM/nwmMl7uRWfo/s1600/Nadir.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8d-_hyiFsGk/TXFfOfwozkI/AAAAAAAAAoM/nwmMl7uRWfo/s320/Nadir.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

'At first I was like..<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZBonUsDMmN4/TXFdh_N6FhI/AAAAAAAAAnk/RfXJuCpifgM/s1600/Binary1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZBonUsDMmN4/TXFdh_N6FhI/AAAAAAAAAnk/RfXJuCpifgM/s320/Binary1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>'Then I was like...'<br />

The description sounds the same as Fidelius. The difference is that the shadow itself is a lighter gold, and the glitter is more prevalent.. not as sparkling.<br />

This week has been a little rough, but not bad! I discovered that I have allergies.. I have never had them before. They seem to have activated when the nice weather came around and the snow melted. I had plans to meet up with a girl on Tuesday but I woke up feeling so bad and grungy, so I canceled! Today I am going to Greeley, CO to spend time with Michaels parents... They LOOOOOOOOVE seeing Jonas so it's like a little gift for them. Life is good, despite the constant flow of snot, ew. <br />
