Fashion: Erm...?

Whenever I see Kourtney Kardashian, I will always remember how she pulled her baby out while giving birth. Strangest and yet coolest thing I've ever seen.

So I've been reading up on the Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries filing for divorce after 72 days blah blah and I saw this photo of Kourtney.

At first, I just saw the dress and thought. Hmm, cool shape. Then the pattern kinda overtook the shape and then I saw she was wearing flip flops.

One. The dress looks like one of those oversized abayas/jalabiyas meant to be worn AT HOME.
Two. The pattern isn't so bad truly and at least she tried to break it up with a black belt in the center.
Three. Flip flops? Really?
Four. Let's not even get to the fact that the dress overpowers Kourtney's petite frame.

Questionable taste at its best. I'd save this outfit for home use thanks. 

What do you think?

Peace lovies.

Nails: Happy Halloween!

Hope you lovely spooks had a happy fun time on All Hallow's Eve (aka Halloween)!

I just wanted to share an awesome nail design that I did special for October 31st. :D (Spare the photos - taken at night with my iPhone!)

What I used

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nails 09 Timeless White
OPI He's My Boo (the perfect Halloween orange!)
OPI Black Shatter
OPI I Only Date Werewolves (to draw on the pumpkin face)

My friend and I had a great time playing with chocolate eyeballs and fanged lip chocolates. It made my manicure look like a monster! I love it.

The Nail Lacquers
 
He's My Boo and I Only Date Werewolves are from the OPI Spookettes Mini Collection. The inspiration for my little pumpkin came from this photo:

They actually gave stickers but I decided that I didn't want to use the stickers. I'd rather save them for constant inspiration. In the photo above you can also see the color of He's My Boo. It really is just a Halloween color.

Peace lovies. Hope you're having a great All Saint's Day!

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!
