birthday!

Last Friday was my birthday, and I think I have to say it was the best I've ever had. Christian came up from San Diego for the weekend, so we spent lots and lots of time together :)

Here are some photos. I should get back to regular posting soon- Christian deploying and all that.

I gained quite a few followers... wow! I love you guys so much. I'm so grateful for you readers!!! <3

Thanks for reading and have a great week!

why i've been M.I.A. (long!)

It's been a month since I've last posted- how horrible. I've just been so busy with visitors!

First came Christian, on our first ever solo camping trip!








Then my cousins came from the Czech Republic. With my family wanting to show them as much of California as possible (in 2 weeks!) I was nonstop busy. These photos are from everywhere from LA, to San Fransisco, to Halfmoon Bay!







I almost drowned in Malibu... hahaha... here my brother and cousins are trying to pull me out



If you made it this far, I salute you.
I'm currently swatching through 20 of my most unique polishes in my collection. I should have that up soon!

And in really, really bad news... Christian is deploying to Afghanistan soon. He'll be on leave from next Tuesday to after Labor Day. I really don't know how I'm going to handle it.

Anyways, thanks for reading. I love you guys!

Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Americans!

Who's excited that True Blood is back?! I know I am!! This season is going to be crazy... Eric and Sookie... mmmmm...
To represent my excitement, I chose one of my sexiest nail polishes to wear...


Zoya Sooki
Now, the name is purely coincidence.... just kidding! Of course I bought it for the name. And after seeing how sexy it looked on me, plus an amazing buttery one-coat formula sent this one straight to the Top 20!
