Nail Polish Fanatic!

I used to hate painting my nails but these past few years, I just could not get enough of nail polish.  All of this different shades and colors always keeps me painting my nails on a almost daily basis. Every time I go into a store, I always tend to gravitate towards the nail polish display just to see what new colors have come out. My favorite brands are Essie and O.P.I and thank god they come out with new colors and shades every season and holidays. My collection of nail polish has grown so much that I have 2 large shoeboxes full. I am literally thinking about painting my nails as I type this post and I am getting so excited about all of the possibilities. There are always so many different colors and patterns that may spark your fancy!

What are some of your favorite brands and colors of nail polish?

How To Survive A Road Trip

I love going on road trips but some think of it as such a bore...

Here are some great tips to help you survive your next road trip!

1. Make Sure All Of Your Devices Are Charged And All Your Cords Are Ready To Go!

You would never want to be stranded without  a charged cell phone. That is just a no no!. Make sure your phone, iPod etc is fully charged before getting in your vehicle. Also remember to ave all of your chargers and car audio cords are in your vehicle before leaving. I am the type of person that cannot listen to silence or radio static. I am always listening to the large, I mean LARGE variety of music on my iPod. If my iPod was to die during a road trip, I would simply go crazy. There are many other things that one can listen to. Many people like to listen to the radio and all of its' different stations or even audio books.

2. Make Sure To Always Have A Emergency Kit

You should always keep emergency bandaids, ointments, tylenol and other pain relievers, mini tools and even a mini flashlight. There are so many other things that you can keep in your car emergency kit. For example, a mini lint roller, nail filer, gum, hair ties and stain wipes. If you have any helpful items in your emergency kit, feel free to comment below.

3. Trips Are Always Better With Friends!

Of course this cannot always happen but when you can, travel with your friends. Friends help make the time go by quicker and just makes the trip more fun. So many memories can be created while driving with your friends. If you are not able to physically take a trip with your friends, calling them or other family members works just as well.

4. Snacks, Yummy Snacks

You would never want to be hungry or thirsty while driving. We have all been there and know never again! Enough Said! : )

IT'S A GIRL!

I would like to welcome my new baby! 

My father and step mother decided to surprise me with a college graduation present!

Low and behold, it's a...CAR!

Isn't she just beautiful! She is a 2012 Honda Cr-V Ex! I just love her so much!

She came with so many awesome features that I have never had before! Tinted windows, Bluetooth hands free link, aux port and just oh so much space!

Stay tuned for a What's Inside My Car? Post

My Life Motto

I have always lived my life by a few mottos:

Everything Happens For A Reason

Treat Other The Way You Want To Be Treated

If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say, Don't Say Anything At All

Whether an event is good or bad, I really do feel like everything happens for a reason. Sometimes things have to happen in order for new doors to open. For example, I never saw myself working at my school's bookstore but I'm very glad that I did. 3 years later I became the Student Manager of the Textbooks Department. I would have never had that opportunity if I never applied. Even if a event is bad, if you stay positive throughout it and strive to get better then a positive outcome can happen.

If you treat someone with kindness and respect then they would treat you the same. Now don't get me wrong, there are people out there that will not no matter but hey, kill them with kindness. After working in the retail business for 3 years I learned that even though someone may becoming angry or irritated it does not help or solve anything to be angry back. Stay calm and keep your composure. You can never make friends by being angry and stand offish.

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all has been taught to everyone at a very young age. It is always nice to be polite and kind. If you ave something mean to say, you should not say it because it can cause a bigger problem and /or not resolve anything. If you have to defend yourself then that is something different. If someone is spreading rumors about you, ten  it would not solve anything by spreading rumors about them.

What are some mottos that you live by?

Christmas In July!

Christmas time, well winter in general, is my most favorite time of the year. Sadly it is still a little over 5 moths away. Luckily there is another wonderful time of the year called Christmas in July! It just gives people another reason to celebrate Christmas without it actually being Christmas. 

Tomorrow, my family and I are heading up to Put-In-Bay, OH for CHRISTMAS IN JULY! I am so excited that I am about to burst. Literally, as I am typing this post I am listening to Christmas music. Since I am in such a fantastic Christmas mood, I am going to drink coffee out of my Christmas mug and watch Christmas Movies!!!

If any of you guys are doing anything for Christmas In July or just love Christmas, feel free to comment below!

Have a Happy, Safe and Festive Weekend!

Take Me Back To : St. Thomas

During the summer, I always look back at all of the trips that I have taken over the years. Sure I have been out of the country to some of the most beautiful locations but nothing could ever top St. Thomas. St. Thomas was just so beautiful and breathtaking that I can't stop looking at these pictures listed below.

This was the amazingly awesome view from our balcony. It was such a blessing to wake up every morning to this wonderful sight.

How awesome is this view? This was taken on top of a mountain and trust me it was terrifying but it was worth it for this shot.

This was a shot of the port where we were waiting for the water taxi. The views in St. Thomas are just incredible and to good to miss.

The Downtown area of St. Thomas was packed full of little shops and boutiques to fit every tourist. It was just so fun and interesting seeing their culture in action.

I could not resist snapping a picture of my feet in the crystal waters! Pardon my chipped nail polish.

We had visited another beach within the British Territory and it was fantastic. Crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches is the perfect summer combination.

Ugh... I want to go back so bad... but this summer is about moving on to bigger and better things in the next chapter of my life!

What are some of your best summer memories and/or trips? Comment below and and feel free to  post pictures!
