*FacePalm*

*HUGE eyeroll*

I was reading someone else's blog and saw that there are things called "Teenager Posts" and that they are on tumblr and so I headed over there to see what Teenagers had to say.

*le sigh*

Really?! Really?! I am just baffled.

I give you, TeenagerPost  #14308

What?! This is what is wrong with children today. I bet the "teenager" that posted this, if it was actually a teenager, has been using some kind of laptop/tablet/smartphone for more than half their life. 

I didn't even own a computer until I was a sophomore in high school, I didn't have a smart phone until I was 21. I certainly knew what the sun looked like because I was OUTSIDE as a teenager. I played sports, and interacted with my friends (and I don't mean on Skype, or Google hangout). I get that we live in a technological world, and I love that kids and adolescents are engaged with technology, but seriously? This is what a teenager is worried about...tumblr shutting down?

I just can't handle it. Reading these posts make me feel really old...and I'm not even 30 yet. Thanks Tumblr and TeenagePosts!

Dr Scholls and I

I have to say, I didn't want to try these inserts and I gave them away to a friend who wore heels. But she was so thrilled with them that I went out and bought a pair and put them in my overused flats. (They really needed a pic me up.) and it was totally worth it!

Here are the flats that I used.

As I said, I don't use heels so other than listening to Christine tell me how amazing they were in the heels she wore to a wedding, but they did make walking around in my flats a ton better. I'm not a tiny girl and it's great to find an insert that holds up to my pressure.

I fully intend on trying other inserts from Dr Scholls (my gym shoes could use a revamp as well) so I'll let you know when that happens, how it works out!

Oh So Sinful!

I finally got around to using my new SinfulShine nail polish and if it lasts as well as OPI does I'll have found a permanent replacement. In my Sunkissed VoxBox I was given "Man Hunt" as a color, but to be honest, army green is not for me. I like bright and happy. So I went to Walgreens and bought a new color (only $3-4!!), it's called "My Kryptonite".

Here are the two colors side by side.

I love teal and so this was a great find. I also really like to have the color I'm using at the nail place, at home, incase I mess up my nails or they chip. The guy that did my nails said to let him know how long the color lasted (it's brightness) and how well it stayed on my nails (in terms of days). I hope it will do well because I can totally see myself buying several of these bottles.

Here is the color on (ps. it also matches the highlights in my wrist tattoo, which is awesome).

This color is not only vibrant and cheap to buy, but it also dries VERY fast. I had my toes done too but they won't be going anywhere online. In the time it took to get from the pedicure chair to the nail desk I think my toes were dried. I only sat under the nail dryer for 6-7 minutes (normally with OPI it's at least 15), so I was mightly impressed.

Here's hoping. I'll update later on with the intensity lasting time!

I'm going to try and Influenster you again!

Bear with me here while I spout some more information about the excellent free products I received in my Sunkissed Summer Voxbox.
Last summer I received feminine hygiene products, hand lotion, suntan lotion, nail polish, shampoo and conditioner, and a Quaker Oats snack.... it was an okay box. I changed the pads I use for that time of month, I changed my condition to Clear brand for a while, and I enjoyed the magnetic nail polish....but the box this summer... WOW

Here's what came in my box

And now links to these product pages.

 Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

Dr. Scholl's For Her, High Heel Inserts

Olay- Fresh Effects

Sinful Colors- Sinfulshine

You may have noticed, as I did, that there is a LOT less in this box than last summer...but I prefer it that way. I had less products to (potentially) dislike. For instance, I did not enjoy the color I got from Sinful Colors, so I went out and bought a new one...which I'll use at my next nail appointment. Also, I don't really wear high heels so I had a friend test out the Dr. Scholl's product. (Incidentally, they loved them).

But the Goody hair ties (I'm a big proponent of a pony tail) and the Olay fresh effects cream....Oh Em Gee.

Here's my hair in these cute ribbon elastics

And here's my FRESH face before and after I used the Olay Cream

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I can totally see the difference that the BB cream made on my face, it's got just a little hint of color (mine was the lighter not darker color) and it did make my face more tan. Which, hello! Tanning without the sun, for everyone. 

The next thing for me to use is the nail polish, and it's been hard for me to deviate from my normal OPI or China Glaze, but next week I'll definitely let you all know how the color worked out. I ended up buying a teal color, preferring that over the army green that I got.
