I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Now Playing - I Wanna Hold Your Hand - The Beatles

Hey y'all

So two days ago, I did my first YouTube Haul! (So excited!!). And in there, I showcased a glycolic hand scrub that I got in my first Julep Maven box! Well I have tried that scrub twice now and I have some things to say about it. *spoiler - short review*

So this product is amazing! It has this really sweet, citrus/peachy smell. It is dark orange in colour and has black exfoliant beads in it. After making my hands damp, I followed the directions and only used about a dime amount (which was plenty!). Then I rubbed it into my hands for about a minute. I then rinsed it off with warm water..and OH. MY. GOD. my hands were so smooth! Like silk to the touch! It felt so nice to feel the water drape over them. And even now, a day later, my hands still feel softer than normal with no real smell left to them. :) I love this product!

I love the Glee version of this song as well!

Hope you all have a 'hand'some day!

Fighting to Survive

Now Playing - Wrestlemania Theme Song

Hi y'all

Well this post is going to be 180 degrees different than my last post. That last one was all about being girly and makeup and pink. This one is going to be about...Wrestling. Haha. Yes, you ready it right, wrestling. And I'm not talking the UFC semi-legit stuff..nope this is the pre-planned, already decided who's gonna win everything, fake punches wrestling. And do I care enough about that fake mumbo jumbo that it makes me not want to watch it...NOPE!! See wrestling is to my family and my bond with my brother like baseball or hikes or eating Sunday dinner together is for other families. I cannot remember a time when my brother wasn't prodding me into watching Monday Night Raw (hey, he's already got tomorrow scheduled in from 7:15-9:15!). The thing is, even though we are grown up and should be over this, there is something comforting about having a subject that we both can relate to. My brother is who he is and who that is is a WWE fanatic, and I love him for it.

So when my brother mentioned that April 1st was going to be Wrestlemania 28, my first thought was..April Fools joke..right? But nope, here I sit, waiting for the show to start in 23 measly minutes.

It's funny though because as soon as I heard about the event, I started thinking about doing a nail art design for the occasion, and boy did I do one. I honestly think this was my favorite nail art product that I've done so far. I'm gonna show some pictures, but I will do a follow up to the products I used to create the looks because that would be far too long. Hopefully this post has inspired you to look into things that bond you with the family and friends around you..thought I was gonna say wrestling, didn't ya? I'm not that deluded to think that I have THAT much influence ;).
