Beauty: OPI feat Nicki Minaj

Ok seriously, who doesn't love Super Bass? It's an awesome fantastic song with a super technicolor music video that is reminisce of the Aqua and Barbie girl franchise days. If you don't you probably won't be much into the recently announce Nicki Minaj and OPI collaboration.

I just had to share my thoughts on the matter. The colors are not astonishingly ground breaking and the collection is a little like Nicki Minaj herself, neither here not there, despite being all out wacko (I mean that in the nicest way possible!).

Super Bass Shatter

Yup. A n o t h e r shatter color. The only shatter I own and will probably ever own is the eponymous Black Shatter that launched with the Katy Perry OPI collection and the first Serena Williams collab. The deep purple color is an absolute beaute though. If only they didn't have it with the darn shatter effect.

Pink Friday

See what I mean with the whole throwback to Aqua and the Barbie Girl franchise days? This right here is classic Barbie is a STUNNA way. If Nicki Minaj pulls this color off then I'll consider getting me a bottle. More swatches needed to convince me to part with my cash though.

Metallic 4 Life

Holy B L I N G - A - L I N G Batman. This color is the love child of a disco ball and and well, like ten other disco balls. My inner magpie is screaming with delight. Here's the catch - it's a glitter (read: pain in the beeehind to remove).

Fly

Oh my awesome love at first sight. Teal is my friend. My best best best best friend. Well, I mean, next to a few other colors of course, but something about this color just makes me want it everywhere - on the walls, on the ceiling, on my cupboard doors, on my iPhone (the cover, not the screen obviously). This has won a definite Y E S from yours truly.

Save Me

I'll be honest here. This color reminds me of a get-up Ms. Minaj has shocked us with before. And it just makes me think - is the name supposed to mean something? The color's making me think of confetti vomit. *whoops* o.O

Did It On 'Em

Now, I'm not expert on G terms but what on earth is that supposed to mean. Lime is not my friend. At all. But I can see a pairing between this color and the Super Bass Shatter looking pretty fierce. Problem is, I don't see the worth in a bottle of nail polish that can only be paired with another nail polish color. It's double the money for one manicure.

Right, so based on first impressions, I'm really only interested in Fly. The teal color is most definitely fly. The collection debuts in January, but I expect it'd be March thereabouts before I can get my hands on it.

Here's looking forward to it!

Peace lovies.

Shocker

Something happened today that I never in a million years would've thought.

Maybe it was because I am in an emotional state or because I just never knew how emotional I was about a certain topic.

Anyway.

I broke down and cried while telling a part of my life journey in front of a room of 18 people.

-__-"

I don't know whether I'm terrified, embarrassed, or just plain confused.

Maybe I'm all of the above.

What it did was made me realize that there is something that I never thought to verbalize, but I did and now I know that it affects me more than I care to say.

I've decided to be proactive about this and find out more.

School is mad crazy at this point but always make time for what's important to you!

Life Coach: The Biggest Room

Question.

What's the biggest room there is?

Answer.

Room for Improvement.

The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.

I must've been living under a rock because until recently, I had never heard that phrase.

But it's something that's been on my mind a lot lately.

You see, I hate this class. To me, it's a ridiculous class. I've done it before, I know how to do what they're trying to teach me and yet there I am, 8.30am on a Friday morning, half-awake only to hear the shrill nonsensical laughter of what can only be described as a fake, irritating and annoying tutor. 

I hate it so much, I wish I could communicate to the tutor's face how much I hate it. 

It's not that I didn't know that we always have room for improvement, but it just didn't click. 

I may know how to communicate better than most, but there truly is always room for improvement. 

So since I can't change the class, I'll change my attitude towards it. Seeking knowledge is all about bettering yourself and if you don't bring a positive attitude of optimism to a class or a situation, you'll never learn anything from it and it would've just been a waste of time that you'll never get back. It's high time we may every use of the opportunities given to us in life, especially the bad ones.

The tutor and the class are still a joke to me but if I can approach 8.30am on Friday morning with a more open mindset, I might be able to score more than a big fat ZERO for my class participation marks and improve myself even further.

So always think about it lovelies. You might be the most fantastic awesome person at something...

... but there will always be room for improvement.

Peace lovelies. Til the next post!

The Daily Fat: Gym on a Monday?

I always say, don't start on a Monday.

Mondays are just more depressing than other days.

Apparently more people commit suicide on Mondays than any other days.

It's the first day of the week, our awesome weekends end when it's Monday. Boo.

So I usually say, don't start on a Monday.

After a good long month of fasting (and an awesome surprise when stepping on the scale!), I decided it was (almost) immediately back to the gym.

I was talking to my mom about it the other day and she put it really simply for me: If you don't go, then you'll just keep making excuses for not going. It's not about going tomorrow, it's about going.

I almost didn't go because I was so tired burning the midnight oil completing a massive assignment that was due earlier today.

E X C U S E.

That's what I told myself. So I packed my gym bag, took a power nap and I went out the door on the way to the gym.

In truth, I haven't been to the gym since like April. And I was pleasantly surprised at my stamina. My first time in the Jurong Point Amore Fitness outlet today. I like it a lot, and I really like that it's all females and even the PTs are female. In Tampines 1, the PTs were mostly male and they were very intimidating.

I hope to be back at it tomorrow. Probably going to do some weight training instead of just cardio.


WORKOUT

Cardio (Elliptical/Crosstrainer), 20 mins interval cardio (1 min moderate pace at resistance level 3, 2 mins intense cardio at resistance level 5), -165 calories.

Alright peace lovies. Fingers crossed I'm back with another workout update tomorrow!

Beyonce is Pregnant!

Beyonce is pregnant! She turns 30 this Sunday (Sept 4th) and a good week before her Bday she tells the world (in a seriously mind blowing performance) that she is PREGGERS!

I love Beyonce and Jay-Z as an amazing power couple and it's my firm belief that awesome people should procreate and fill the world with more awesomeness.

BTW, I'm totally loving her Dolce and Gabbana purple sequined tuxedo!

Totally puts a spin on maternity wear don't you think? OMG. I can't wait to see what she wears out while she's pregnant.

Til the next post.

Peace lovies.
