The hunt is on...

for navy blue nail polish.

Which I found at long last after searching nearly every drug store and makeup counter I could find. I couldn't believe it when the sales clerk at Sephora didn't know that navy blue nail polish is all over the pages of Allure and other fashion mags. (Didn't know either? Now you do!)

Bless O.P.I for making Russian Navy, and bless the girl at Trade Secret for knowing about the navy blue polish thing. Despite its looking purple in the bottle, it actually is the wonderfully deep navy blue color that I was looking for. Hooray!

Now, regardless of whether or not you like the whole navy blue is the new black nail polish thing, or if you choose to stand by your black polish, please, ladies, remember...your manicure must be flawless to pull off ANY dark nail polish color! This means cuticles, too! (Either way, dark or light polish, your manicure should be flawless) Also, at first chip, REMOVE ALL POLISH! Nothing looks worse than a well polished woman with chipped nail polish, especially with darker colors; flaws are way too obvious.


So, take care of those hands and nails, and stay tuned!

Much love

First post!

So here's the thing...



As I sit on the floor, laptop in, well, lap, I watch CNN's "Planet in Peril," and one word comes to mind: incredible.


The things that I am seeing are simply incredible. Water that gives people cancer, endangered animals killed for their fur and meat, even caged for their bile, makes me sick to the point that I am on the verge of crying. How can we do this not just to the world, but to ourselves. Whether republican or liberal, man or woman, a half dozen of one or six of the other, you cannot deny that there is something wrong when we knowingly put ourselves and our futures in danger. And whether you believe in global warming or not, if you feel that there isn't nearly enough evidence one way or the other, I say take a step outside. That 81 degree weather is not normal for mid-October.

Now, this blog was not created to preach. Though it may seem like that at the particular moment in time, or simply because of the title of my blog, that is not the case. It is just that I am overwhelmed with the words I'm hearing Anderson Cooper speak, and the images that are flooding my television. Again, NOT here to preach, but I think that everyone should watch this program. The information is as thought-provoking as it shocking, at least to me.

Anyhoo... Watch the program, or don't (though I hope you will) and stay tuned for more of me! It should be a fun ride.
