Five on Friday

This has been the LONGEST week ever, and I have no idea why! I have been in a snappy mood, and just not my normal self all week. It is miserable. My in-laws are coming to visit this weekend, so I better get with the program so I can enjoy their visit! I'm linking up for Five on Friday, maybe it will pull me back to happiness.

1. We finally got our TV stand and dining set. Our townhouse is coming together, thank goodness. I was a little nervous that dining furniture wouldn't get here soon enough and my in-laws would have to eat on TV trays their whole visit. How embarrassing. BUT, it arrived yesterday and I am very happy with how everything looks!

 

 

2. I started doing a prenatal yoga DVD, just to give me something else besides walking. I in no way, shape or form seem as serene as the woman on the cover of this DVD. FALSE ADVERTISING I TELL YA!

 

 

 3.  Essie- Don't Sweater It is a go to fall staple for my nails. Love love love!

 

 4. I got some more maternity wear this week. Preparing for cooler weather. Now I just need the state of Georgia to realize we are almost half-way through October and get with the program. It is FREEZING when I leave for work in the morning, and by afternoon it is super warm. I never thought I would want cooler weather and now I am begging!

 

 

5. We received our first baby gift!! This adorable little bulldog outfit came yesterday from "Aunt" Jennifer. It was so exciting to open it, and see the little man clothes. AH, it's becoming real!!!

 

Of course Gigi had to jump in the picture!

 

 

 

 

Weekend Update

I'm linking up with Sami's Shenanigans to share my weekend!

1. One my way to Atlanta to visit Brianna, that's my excited face. She is in Atlanta twice a year for a conference, so it is the perfect excuse for a reunion!

2. Selfie in the elevator with Brianna.

3. We  celebrated National Margarita Day on Friday.

4. Emerald nail polish. Loving. Painted my nails while Brianna was giving her presentation on leadership at SEIFC.

5. Thrift shopping with Kyle on Sunday, just call him Macklemore. Found this gem of a leather jacket. Hilarious.

Eternal Optomist

I love a good pink nail polish. It just screams feminine and classy. The other night I painted my nails 'Eternal Optomist' by Essie.

Matches my pink pajama pants!

Midnight Navy

More dark colors. This is Midnight Affair by Revlon.

Looks like I missed spots, but that is just light reflecting. Love the dark navy!

Burgundy!

Happy Friday! Thought I would link up to share one of my favorite fall colors, burgundy. I love all the Essie fall colors, but I am really loving this color right now.

Essie- Skirting the issue

September Birchbox

Yeah, yeah yeah I know it is October. But I loved my Birchbox last month so I thought I would share.

 The Vasanti face scrub is great! I love it and I want the full size. The Color Club nail polish is a great color and I put it on right when I got my box. I also love the Bvlgari scent, perfect for fall. The hair tie is fun, totally useful and the Brush guards are clever. Great for travel. The only thing I didn't really like was the Wei To Go Beauty "Sleepover Kit" the CC cream was too light and I didn't like the texture. And I feel like the cleaner didn't really cleanse. I am more of a soapy lather kinda face cleaner. All in all I loved the box!

Fall Nails

Cooler temperatures, Pumpkin Spice Lattes and back to darker nail colors! Last night (while GiGi slept on my lap) I painted my nails with Sally Hansen 'Fearless Fog.' Love this color. Mix of purple and gray.

Hot Pink

I am loving the Essie Luxeffects 'pure pearlfection'. I used it over 'mod square' in this picture. I have used it a lot this summer and really enjoy the extra sparkle for summer!

I am also really excited about my "Mascara and Lipgloss Swap" partner Aubrey over at High Heeled Love. You should check her out, she is pretty cool!

Accents

Time for one of my favorite link ups, Nail Files!!

Color Club- Clambake Coral from my May Birchbox and Essie Luxeffects- As Gold As It Gets from my March Birchbox

I have also decided to participate in Tara's Mascara and Lipgloss Swap. Seems like fun, this will be my first blogger swap. Kinda excited!

Kitty, Kitty

Excited to announce that my Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail strips have lasted 8 days and counting. Thought I would link up and share! You can definitely tell where my nails have grown, but no chipping! I first tried these out when I went to Hangout Fest last year because I didn't want to worry about my nails on the beach (I used the rainbow glitter). They worked so well I thought I would try again and went out on a limb and got an animal print. I have received tons of compliments! HA! Maybe not 100% professional, but they were fun!

Dup!

 

 While at Target I walked down the nail polish section. I found the Essie for Target exclusive colors. I love Essie nail polish, but for almost $8 a bottle it can get expensive. I saw a gunmetal green metallic color I liked and grabbed it. I was walking down another aisle and saw this Revlon Top Speed color that looked like a duplicate of the Essie color, for almost half the cost! Yes please! Love the color! I also like the quick drying!
