Nailed It!

I know this is super hard for all of you, our loyal supporters to hear, but Lissy and I are sometimes crap at things.  You gasped right then didn't you? I heard it, so don't lie!
Anywhoodle, Liss and I tried to be awesome and paint our nails in fun manners and diligently followed the tutorial. For the most part anyways.....  This is what we attempted. 

Lovely right? Totally adorable, and looks like your nails practically paint themselves no?  No is exactly right.  Sigh, it was a touch sloppy, a bit smelly and no where near as rad as pictured.....  Speaking of pictures, check out how we did and remember; Judge not lest we do this to you. Forcibly.

Lissy's Masterpieces!

Mandy's sweet sweet job!

Three things we learned from this?
1. Refrain from having kids or dogs near you at any point.  Particularly if they have to pee and the leash is attached to your stool.  (The chair kind not the poop kind)
2. Paper reinforcements are way better than when we went to school.  Pre-stick them to your hand or something so they are less sticky!
3. If you have a buddy, use your buddy to paint your nails and vice versa.  Don't be a hero and go solo.
*Bonus tip: Don't test this out with dark nail polish and crappy remover :)




NAILED IT!!

Friday's Perfect Pairings

Okay, so I have decided to start something. On Fridays. Its called....

  

~Friday's Perfect Pairings~

This is probably fueled by my new obsession of Pinterest. Literally I am spending 3-4 hours a day pinning shit and looking at other peoples boards. Luckily most of this time is spent while at the store, also at least its February that I'm doing this in and not like, August. I digress.  So here are some perfect pairings that I am currently IN LOVE with :)

~1~

Guinness chocolate cupcake with Bailey's cream cheese frosting. OMG!

Because seriously? Who the hell wouldn't want 1 of those? I'm just kidding. I would eat 12.

My Cuppow

DAVIDsTEA: Glitter and Gold.

At the moment, I am sad and disheartened.  It's because we are out of Glitter and Gold.  And we were not planning to order any more tea for two more weeks.  I cannot last that long. I'll die from longing..... sigh....

Oh btw, if anyone wants to order a special tea from DAVIDsTEA with us, check out their site, call us, Facebook us, smoke signal us or just come into the store and let us know whatcha want and we can all save on shipping :)  To make due, I am drinking Luscious Watermelon.  Its really good too, but doesn't have the same visual effect that Glitter does in a clear drinking jar.... Its shiny and sparkly and delicious all at the same time!

~3~

So maybe I love plants and tea cups. A lot. The one to the left, I potted up yesterday.  Isn't  it adorable?The cup is vintage bone china from England.  I either got it from my grandparents collection that they brought over by ship when they immigrated to Canada, or from a thrift store.... The plant is Sedum burrito or Donkey Tail.
The plants on the right, I found on Pinterest. 

If you want to check out what we are obsessing about on Pinterest, you can follow our Polluted Pixie
boards.

I actually was gonna post more, but totally got sucked into a vortex and cannot pull away!

So Ta Ta for now!!

Super Cute Hair Twist + Curls = Awesome

Mandy and I spend a lot of time perusing the net for entertaining things while at work. Maybe too much time actually, sort of. But because of all this time, we sometimes come across awesome things that we probably should be sharing with you all, instead of just laughing our asses off and then forgetting about it. Well, I mean, occasionally we remember to post a link on Facebook, I like to think we're (eh-hem...Mandy is) getting better at this.

I'm off track.

Last week we found this tutorial. It's old. Years old, doesn't make it any less awesome though.

Initially, we thought it was just a super adorable way, easy, to wear your hair, turns out it's more. It curls your hair like a hot damn. Sweet loose, slightly messy curls. Even mine and my daughters hair, which is virtually uncurl-able, submitted to rings from this technique, minus heat or product. Which, is crazy. My curl dream of the last 30 years has been fulfilled! I'm being dramatic. Weird.

Anyways, Kaid and I curled our hair this weekend, multiple times. It's addictive. And this morning, we discovered that Mandy is rocking the twist as a 'do. She's sorta really stinkin' cute.

Three things that are true:

1. This takes less than 10 min to do
2. If the band you use is too tight, you will deform your skull (my forehead is rather lumpy as we speak...)
3. My hair will look better than yours. Obviously.

(Kaid's sick, that's not her regular face. Well, it sorta is, actually.)

(This chick is adorable, with her awesome curls and accent. In fact, she may make you feel less cute, just sayin'.)  For more video tutorials visit: The Lipstick Diaries
