A Change in My Life

I think I have realised somthing that I knew, I want to say a while ago. I need to loose weight/inches whatever. I haven't "realised" it until now because flat and simple, I am lazy. I have tried to do this in the past for other people, if that makes any sense. For my brother because he would always call me fat, for my friend who wanted a friend to loose weight with her, so on and so on. What I have realised is I have to do this for me, and I have to do it alone. That is the only way it's going to work, at least for me and who I am.

What really pushed me over the edge was I was talking to my mother; the conversation went just a little like this:

"Why dont you loose weight?" (mother)
"I'm lazy, and it's not that I can't because I know how, I just dont feel like it. and yet I still want to"
"I think you're scared"
Her telling me that made me do a double take.
"why?"
"because you are pretty, and if you were skinnier you would be gorgeous, and I think you're scared because it's like unkown ground"

Trust me I know there is some messed up logic in there, but in that conversation I kind of figured it out. I dont want to fail, I stop myself from doing so much just because I am terrified of failling. I have never failed anything, and I know thats why I was so terrified of taking my driving test.

I know how to loose weight because I have done it before, then was like ehh i dont care "hello, crap food when I go out with friends"

At home I eat healthily. I am not one of those people who eats pizza and frozen dinners, I am the type of person who has breakfast a fruit as a snack, than eat a salad for lunch, go home and eat dinner.

Long story short, I am turning myself around. I am confidant about myself, but who wouldnt want more confidence?

I dont want to put this on my YouTube channel, because its a little personal and I am not one of those people who will put EVERYTHING out there. I will be posting more on this, but as of right now I am getting everything in order. I think I will be starting Project: _____ (i need a name for that lol) by wednesday. I will see how things pan out.

I hope you have a great day!

Rea By Zoya

Can I just say this is a GORGEOUS color! When applied it has that glitter look but is still opaque. I want to say it's purple with different purple shimmer. It isnt a blue-y purple, more like a red and more on the pink side. The shortest way I could describe it is, a slightly blackened pinky purple. The effect of the shimmer out of the bottle is very similair to trixie or Richelle. I absolutely LOVE this color, probably my favorite of the zoya batch (but then again my favorite color is purple).

Some Unforgettable Color


I have a file growing on my computer chalk full of pictures I like/love/adore etc. or just find plain interesting. I like things with lots of vibrant color, posting these pictures on here can take away from that because the pictures shrink, so I strongly recommend that if you find a picture you like to click the link and look at the whole sized picture. They just seem more colorful that way :). This might become a semi-regular thing depending on what I find and how much more full that folder gets, and maybe now I can rename that folder "Unforgettable Color" lol. I hope you enjoy and at least flip (browse or whatever the internet equivalent is) through them.

Zoya Twitter 5000

I promise you, that you have no idea how impatient I can be. Today I litterally sat waiting at the window for these GORGEOUS nailpolishes to arrive, decided I was being childish and went for a shower. I then hoped that by some good fortune that they had come in, walked (ok more like ran) to the mail box, and there were 3 packages to my delight.

These are the polishes I bought (more like payed for shipping) with the Zoya 5000 code, I am so happy and haven't even opened up the bottles yet lol. The only thing I think I should "justify" is that I bought the top coat and bottom coat. I did that because I really want to give the zoya line a good test before I decide on it (yay or nay type thing). And truthfully I dont have a good top or base coat so win win? :) Onto the pictures.


L-R: Anchor Base Coat, Armor Top Coat, Rea

L-R: Amber, Persiphony, Tallulah

L-R: Richelle, Trixie, Pasha



These were all taken in natural light. I also took them with flash but thought that with natural light it was truer to color.

Unforgettable Color's "Eincy WeencyTrailer"

Trying to think about what my first blog post is going to be, has me stumped. So after thinking about it for what feels like forever but in actuality is only 4 hours, i have decided to write about what you can expect from my little blog. Now naming the post was also another problem, i thought about how you get enticed to see a movie, by its trailer hence the name of the post.

Somethings you can expect are little blurbs about anything I feel like, make up, nail polish, life, music I am in love with, etc. and I think I will throw some hair stuff in here too :). Inspirational pictures I might find, really just a bit more organized brain storming board. But unlike a brain storm I hope that it has more complete and better explained thoughts.

I am actually really excited about what's to come on here, and I am not guaranteeing anything will stay the same. Such as the Title of the blog , the URL, or pictures. I will probably delete some posts because I can be a perfectionist. Trust me I wish I could change that about myself because in all honesty it stops me from doing things, but hey we are who we are. So that being said, I hope you will enjoy my blog :).

PS. I enjoy the use of "lols" and smiley faces, I hope that doesn't bother anyone, but sometimes I accidentally put it into text and when correcting things I just read over it (namely lols, lol :P)
