This was the warmer of the month from Scentsy. Now I swore I wouldn't buy another warmer but this was so pretty I had to.
My picture was taken at night, while warming Clemintine Clove. It's beautiful!
Scentsy describes this as:
"A glorious addition to our new Lampshade Collection, Silver Frost captures the elegance of snowflakes on a silvery glass vase. With a flick of the switch, the delicate flakes cast a radiant glow with plays of shadow and light."

It really does light up the room. Of course I put something orange in and the light gave an orange glow on the walls. I will have to buy another lampshade collection piece.

Scentsy's Clementine Clove was the fragrance of the month of November, I believe. I totally was on board by the name alone. I really wasn't expecting it to have much more to it. You know it didn't have a crazy name like Christmas Cheer or Holiday Happiness where you really don't know what it will smell like, even after reading the description. I feel that I often buy stuff online just because it has notes in it that I like and it turns out at least 75% I 3enjoy what I bought.
I did, however, have a chance to smell this over at my friend Jann's house. I was kind of hoping for a YC Spiced Orange kind of fragrance....I was wrong.
Scentsy describes this fragrance as:
"A bright medley of aromatic citrus with clove and a hint of balsam"
Okay first I was totally NOT expecting the balsam to be so heavy in this. It's like three equally strong notes. Now, I want you all to understand that I LOVE this fragrance. It's sweet, spicy and piney....I had it in my great room and it was perfect! I would recommend this to anyone who likes the notes mentioned. If spicy, sweet with a pine tree is what you desire, then what are you waiting for, order it! I am happy with it and would defiantly buy more.

Out The Door Top Coat
I started my mani with a coat of China Glaze Strong Adhesive Base Coat. I don't let it really dry... by the time I get back to the other hand it's ready to be polished.
This color is by China Glaze...For Audrey. I used two coats and I went ahead and put a cheap top coat on. I think it was NYC Extra Shiny Top Coat. After about 2 to 3 minutes I went ahead and cleaned up around the nail.
I placed two pieces of scotch tape on my nail to make a V shape with Sally Hansen's Insta Dri Silver Sweep. I let one dry and started another and once I got it set up and painted I just peeled the tape gently so I didn't mess up anything.
I pulled out my other Sally Hansen silver color, because I wasn't sure at first which I wanted to use, and dotted the point of the V. It didn't turn out PERFECT but it was good enough for me! After a bit, I went back and used Out The Door top coat.

TADA! Next on the Nail Art Challenge for January is Sparkle. I guess I should start thinking about it.

I want to wish you all a happy New Year!! I'm off to the movies and dinner!! First movie in 10 months!
I am currently wearing Forever Midnight by BBW! I received it as a gift from one of my kiddos (at work).
I really like it and even got a couple of compliments. Be safe and enjoy the end of a very busy year and hello to a new start.

Okay so I have a complaint to make and it might just be user error verses the product itself.
Essie hates me....plain and simple. I just can't get it to stay on my nails longer then 4 hours. It chips off right after it dries. Now I have asked my friends (who swear by Essie) what they do when they paint their nails. The only thing I can see is I don't use Essie brand top coat. I do use different top coats. I feel that sometimes Seche Viet pulls the polish off the tips (like it does with my Zoya polish, even when I paint the tips)I might use Out the Door or Orly. 
This mani is Toggle to the Top. A beautiful sparkly maroon/ garnet color. The application was fine. Smooth. I used two coats and then taped them up to add Gold Metal by Sinful Colors. Not what I was wanting to do at first, but it turned out okay. I feel I painted too far down with the gold but I was too lazy to do it over.

I started melting Scentsy's Cinnamon Bear in the bathroom. I know that cinnamon may not be a choice for most in the bathroom, but we don't use this particular bathroom. It is the baby's bathroom and is mostly used for bath time ;). I like the fact that this scent is powerful but not to the point of turning it off. It fills the bathroom and the hallway with this red hots- sweet warm cinnamon - fragrance. I will surely be ordering more!
