Orly Cuticle Oil


I purchased Orly's Cuticle Oil on Amazon thinking that I was getting the full sized bottle. I received the package last night and was a bit disappointed to find that what I purchased was a 1 oz. bottle of Orly Smart Gels Cuticle Oil. Luckily I only spent $5 for it and I actually really like this oil!

 This oil is very think, almost like a gel but absorbs wonderfully. My favorite part is that it has a fruity scent (Watermelon?) which is much more pleasant than the lavender scented Julep Cuticle oil I have been using.

 The downside...this is yet another oil that doesn't provide enough moisture to keep my cuticles soft and looking healthy. Living in Colorado has really done a number on my skin and I am finding that I need products that not only moisturize but hold the moisture in.

Revlon Whimsical - Franken

Whimsical Dupe: Forever 21 Subtle Blue Confetti Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air Review: I purchased Whimsical specifically because I love Deborah Lippmann polish but can't stand the price. My first attempt at polishing with Whimsical was a disaster. I wanted a full coverage polish, which Whimsical is definitely not, so it took 5 coats to achieve the coverage I desired. Once done I realized I hated the color. The color has a bit of a pale green tint that makes my skin look horrible! I ended up doctoring this polish to make it what I wanted. After adding some white and blue polish base I am much happier. I am able to get full coverage in just 3 coats and the tone looks much better against my skin. Below you can see the original color of Whimsical as well as my doctored version. Three coats of polish Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Top Coat Three coats of polish with Orly Matte Top Coat

My first step into Nootropics

When my third baby was just a few months old I started looking into ways to increase my energy, mood and attention. In reality I know that exercise and good diet are the best way to achieve this but after recovering from a crash c-section, dealing with PTSD and crippling anxiety related to that experience, dealing with my usual PPD, surviving on roughly 45 minutes of sleep each night, being a mother of 3, AND returning to work full time diet and exercise just weren't going to happen. Anyone who has dealt PTSD, anxiety and PPD will know that just getting out of bed is a challenge. During those first few months survival was the name of the game. I was already taking an Zoloft, Zanax, and Adderall but was not happy with the effects. Zoloft numbs me out emotionally, Zanax makes me sleepy, and due to the level of fatigue and my metabolism the highest dose of Adderall only lasts 2-4 hours. None of these side effects are great when you are a wife, mother and work full time.  For me...

Julep Nora

Finish: Special Effect Color: Silver aubergine suede Dupe: OPI Ink Suede Review: I am obsessed with matte and suede polishes right now. Most matte polishes that I have found however are creme polishes so I was excited to find that Julep had a shimmer matte.  This polish goes on smooth like all Julep polishes but you definitely have to work fast to avoid streaks since the polish dries so quickly. The finish looks and feels like suede.
