Anger Management 101


I've always been a little on the "high strung" side, but not until recently did I acknowledge my lack of anger management.  I liken myself to Bruce Banner when he goes from 0-60 seconds and turns into the Hulk. Or the little Tasmanian devil that tears up anything and everyone feelings in my path. TOTAL INSANITY. Not until recently did I recognize how my anger caused stress with building relationships and decided to change that.

2012 is the year of change. I've taken positive and necessary steps to work on my anger management and learning patience. It is not a cake walk. Everyday I'm being tested. Between the cocksuckers I work with, ex-boyfriend and even my dad, I feel like I'm always on edge and ready to explode. It takes a big person to walk away, and I commend those people who are able to do it easily. I hope to be there soon. Therefore during my anger management travels, work with me not against me. Notice the positive change I'm trying to make and embrace it. Its a humbling experience to acknowledge your faults in order to grow stronger and become a better person.

Peace, Love and Happiness.

Manicure Mania

My nail polish addiction has grown into another OCD hobby of mine. Just like couponing, I'm always on the look for the next fabulous nail polish. I follow several beauty/make-up blogs and often try to duplicate their works of art. As of November 2011, I own over 200 bottles of nail polish. Since then I've added more. I'll list out the brands in another post. For now, here are some pictures of my works of art.

I love yellow. And against this orange and my beautiful brown skin, its just pops.

Lately, I've been wearing the Sally Hansen Salon Effects. They are nail polish strips that come in a variety of cute designs. I'm finally getting use to applying them. These will probably be my go to for vacations. 

GLITTER! I love it I love it I love it! I used a base ruby red coat of red and applied some glitter on top. POW! I felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.

Splatter nails, I talked about this in My Addiction to Nail Polish post 


 Leopard nails. This was an experiment. I need to purchase nail pens to get the right effect. But that neon yellow still made them stand out.


Newspaper nails. This is done by using real newspaper. Its quick and easy to do. I found the How To on Lipglossipings blog. I think I'll do this again and try adding some color.
