The Taste: Tuesday 8/7c on ABC

There's a new hit reality show that come on ABC, it's called The Taste. There is a host, a food writer Nigella Lawson and then she has co-judges. The winner of the competition wins $100,000 and a new food car. The four judges are mentors to groups of cooks, they consist of experience and non-experienced cooks and they are put to the test to make dishes that have to wow the judges with just one bite that must be able to fit on a spoon.
I'm not normally in to food shows but from all the clips I've watched ill be tuning in tonight. It has the pressure, the egos, the judges that you know will crack down and make or break the cook at hand. Almost your typical reality show but with food. I recommend this to any reality show buff and those who love food : )
So check out The Taste on Tuesday nights 8/7c on ABC.

Rue21 nail polish look

Do you Rue?? I do!!!
That's the catchy phrase you will hear at Rue21 clothing store that sells girl and guy clothes and accessories galore!! My kind of place : ) The other day my boyfriend, son and I took a small shopping trip and I didn't find anything clothing wise that popped out but I did get some cute sun glasses and a deal on nail polish that was 2 for $5 (originally $3.99) I had never tried their nail polish before and who would think anything of it? Well many would who stick to OPI or Sally Henson. They had some cute colors so I got pulled into going with the deal, I needed some new colors anyway. I got a light blue, it makes me think of Easter and a black crackle.
Now, my nails never do well with nail polish no matter the brand they always take forever to dry even using the fast drying spray, they still get smudged. Well after tonight of applying Rue21 polish I'm hooked... Why you say? My nails were dry in no time, the color went on smooth and only needed two coats of color. Then the crackle went on easily. One coat was all it took, just one swipe then added my top coat. I want to go back and buy every color I loved. So moral of my story ; ) Rue21 nail polish I would recommend, you don't need to cake on the layers, it dries super fast and name brand sometimes isn't always better. Let me know what you think and share some of your best nail art.

Bathroom Re-vamping : )

So I completely re did my bathroom by accident. I never had an intention to redo my bathroom decor but.... I saw something at my local Wal-mart that just spoke to me and spoke to me I threw it in my cart a long with everything that matched and then some. I'm still excited and I did it 4 days ago.

 Now the people who know me know that I love shoes... Heels, Stilettos.. It's a proven fact that I can not live without them. Well this bath room curtain and full set I seen has leopard print, which I also love, and small glamour items and quotes like; Red carpet ready, Some like it hot, a pic of a dress, purse and purfume bottle and some jewelry.  Well out of no where I pick up this towel and I see a heel and it says I love stilettos and I was sold!!! There was no way I was leaving Wal-Mart with out this set.
Well if that doesn't say it all then I have no idea what does.. lol I started there then I just couldn't stop.. If this goes a little fast for you... well.. I still can not control my excitement and over a bathroom.. I'm terribly sorry.
 : )


Now that bath rug isn't an ordinary bath rug... It absorbs water and is made of memory foam.. The one most comfy thing I have stepped on out of the shower and just standing there doing my makeup.. RECOMMEND IT! It is also slick proof. I know of some older people who have these helps their feet or something. All I know it matches my bathroom : )

Now I naturally had to get some other matching items that they were offering in the bathroom set. Such as the tooth brush holder, some towels and some small accent colors that were in the decor to begin with and I chose the maroon to go with rather than the full animal print.


I am very happy that I went with the maroon accent and not the animal print because I then went to Family Dollar and found the perfect pictures to put on the walls. I found these by accident and they had my maroon in them but they also had like a glamor girl feel to them AND... there was leopard in the pictures as well... I just hit the jackpot.


I love how they show different parts of a bathroom. If I had a huge dream bathroom... This is exactly how it would be. It's cool how things just tie in like this and I'm happy I accidentally decided to re decorate. : )

So that is my fun lil frenzy I just had to share. I do not decorate spaces that often so this one was a big one for me and that fact that I actually like going into my own bathroom now lol Amazing on what some color and animal print can do for a girl : )

Ipad or Kindle Fire??

Okay so this is the question that can change everything.... okay maybe not really but I'm trying to out weight what is better. At first I knew I was going to get an ipad... and then when I saw the price I was not so excited for that, then people started talking about the kindle fire and then I started rethinking a little bit.

Well off the top of my head I can say that Ipads will come with a lot more free apps that you actually like and usable. I have an Iphone so I know the benefits of that. I have a lot of apps on my phone for business and it can be a pain using this small phone and with an Ipad I'm sure i could get  alot more done easier and faster. But I would have to put out another $30 a month for unlimited data... That sounds sorry for saying it but STUPID... if you already have an Iphone why can I not just add on to my already unlimited plan... I'm not too thrilled about that idea. And the fact that the cheapest one at $500 does not have 3g so you have to go with the more expensive ones.

The kindle fire, I like ready books and carrying the books could be a pain so having them digital in one space is really great. High lighted screen if I'm in a dark room and if you are like me I hate when paper backs get bent corners or hardbacks that take up too much space. And now look at the price $199 that is more my style. The Kindle Fire is beyond lighter that the Ipad and it is slightly smaller, but huge isn't always great so the size does not bother me. The kindle fire is also in color but remember the kindle is not. I prefer seeing things in color personally but I will say the book prices are sometimes outrageous. There have been some books that were more than the hardback cover of the book... I personally would rather save the dollars and go to a book store and buy the book so they should really rethink that idea and some of the apps are pricier and the free stuff.... not really worth being free.

Depending on your personal preference though if you want something large go for the Ipad, if you do not want to spend extra money for internet go with the Kindle Fire, if you are a huge Amazon fan and shop with them alot  go with the Kindle Fire you can easily download items straight form their site. If you download a lot of movies, music etc go with an Ipad they have various GB as the Kindle Fire only has 8GB.

I personally am still on the fence with both of them. If I go with my gut instinct and not put out that much money I will definitely get a Kindle Fire. But memory space is important to me so that makes me lean to an Ipad. A lot more research to be done and we will see what happens.

Kiss Nail Dress a MUST buy

I received some awesome product from a great company called Influesnter and Kiss. Influesnter has monthly VoxBoxes where people can receive free products to test and then review to our lovely followers, tweeters and likers : ) I was one of those lucky people and I want to talk about one of my favorite items that were in my February Love Voxbox.
I received these Nail Dress products from the company Kiss. They are fashion tips that replace nail polish and the time of waiting for them to dry. You can use these on your nails or on your toes with up to 18 different styles and some with 3d art and bling. I have used them on my actual nail and on acrylics and they have worked to my success. They last for up to 10 days, no top coat is needed on your part, Kiss Nail Dress they already applied that for you. Just clean your nails, make sure they are dry, find the size of nail for your fingers or toes : ) file down and go. The entire pack comes with 28 nail strips so you have plenty to have fun with either on your nail or over nail polish. It's a beautiful thing : ) You can find Kiss Nail Dress in major drugstores and mass retailers like Walgreen, Wal-Mart and CVS.

These were the leopard print Kiss Nail Dress nails that I received. Very cute and fashionable and entirely me.

You can see the slips of the nail strips that come in each pack.  Enough to do your nails and your toes. They also come with a nail file to file down the remains of the Nail Dress strips. Then it has a booklet inside that shoes on the many designs, how to apply and how you can mix and match with designs and nail polish on the back of the booklet. Very fun and easy anyone can do it.
End result : ) only took me 5 min or less; size, stick and file are the three steps you will need.

To try and qualify for a monthly VoxBox go to http://www.influenster.com

Happy reviewing.
