Last night my sisters and I did our nails. My sister recently bought a couple nail stamping plates from Konad at Amazon. So we decided to play around with them to see how to work with them. They are not that difficult to work with as soon as you get the hang of it. You have to work fast if you are not using the special nail polishes because the nail polish drys up fast. I did white nail polish
from Wet & Wild and for the design color I used a "Plum" purple color from Wet & Wild, then a little bit of silver on the ring finger inside the rose. The designs that were used were roses with leafy swirls, a single rose and a bow, I don't know the number of the plate, sorry. My little sister used red nail polish and used black for the leopard designs, then my other sister and I filled in the black spots with yellow, peach, and green. Pretty cute huh?

I made my BF cupcake cake pops for her bridal shower. It was a success. I made 36 of them. The insides of them had red velvet with cream cheese frosting. The top outer candy melts I used was vanilla and the bottom candy melts milk chocolate. I used Red Hots as the "cherry" and I used light blue edible pearls for decoration.

I bought C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve from Bath and Body Works. I've been wanting the Smith's Rosebud Salve from Sephora. But always forget to pick it up. I happened to see Rose Salve at Bath and Body Works so I bought it. I like it, it has a light rose scent to it, and it gives a nice gloss to the lips. It says it's good for Lips, Cuticles, Elbows, Knees, and Face. I tend to have dry skin, so I put
some on my elbows and they are a lot softer now, it doesn't give a greasy feel on your skin. I wonder which one is better though, the one from Bath and Body Works or Sephora???

We had a BBQ at work yesterday and I made shrimp skewers with mushrooms, green and red peppers. Seasoned them with spices that my mom brought back from Guatemala. It's pretty much an all purpose seasoning, it has a little bit of everything. I tend to make veggie skewers, even though I am a meat eater, I go towards making veggie kind, it's my favorite. What kind of skewers do you like?

Last night I went to Target with my little sis and bought this EcoTools brush set and makeup bag. It's by Alicia Silverstone. It has two compartments, one for the brushes and the other side to put your make-up in it. I LOVE these brushes. They are silky-soft, 100% cruelty free brushes, and the bag is made by using sustainable materials. Very eco Friendly :)
The bag contains:
1. Blush
Brush
2. Mini Foundation Brush
3. Mini Face Brush
4. Detailed Eye Shading Brush
5. Spoolie Brush
Totally recommend it. I've used EcoTool brushes for months now and want more, in fact all of them! I went ahead and reorganized my everyday to work makeup in the bag. If you are interested to see what I put in it let me know.

I was gifted these adorable bath/shower accessories by my BF. The first one is a sponge and the second one is a lufa, hence the flat body. lol. It's a panda, and he is called "USA Panda", so I guess he's an american panda, but made in China. hehehe. I really like him. I don't think I'll use them because they are too cute to use.

Hello everyone, this weekend was my nephew's 3rd birthday. So I decided to use the cupcake cake pop mold. The mold was very easy to use. I really liked working with it. The only thing about them is that I feel like they look a little off, it doesn't look like the picture on the casing display, but overall I am happy with it.

My husband came home from the store with this ice cream gloss palette. I LOVE it! He knows I love ice cream so he knew I would like this. It reminded me of the good old days when I was a kid and asked my mom for make up and she would give me things likes this, but they were shaped as flowers, stars and hearts. This one is ice cream! I tried them on today, they are pretty decent, they left my lips
with a semi gloss. I've had it on with out reapplying for a couple hours now. On the palette it says that they are all grape scent, I wish each ice cream gloss had a different scent. I still think they are something cute to have though.

I haven't used them yet. As soon as I do I will be posting up a picture of the nail designs I did with them. Hope all
of you are enjoying your weekend :)

I bought this Hello Kitty iPad case for my iPad. I really like it. It fits very snug. The only thing that I don't like about it is that the face got wrinkly after I folded that case and put in in my purse. But other than that I think it's super cute. I got it at Best Buy for about $18.
