I am on the quest to find Masked Affair by L'Oreal and happened to walk by to see this beauty...Revlon's Holographic Pearls. Wow for drugstore polish! I am proud of them stepping up and actually noticing what up with people in the nail community. Here's an outside pic of this polish. Soooo shiny. I was trying to get a nice pic of all the sparkles but it wasn't working out. This was the best I could capture. 
In doors shot - not as bold as the sunlight shots but still just enough flare to dazzle myself into a stupor. 
I am wearing three coats with a top coat. My quest will continue for the other polish but I am so happy to have this one in my collection now.

I am going to go ahead and write about the scenterpiece (even though I will make a video about it too). 
This my friends is a scenterpiece by Yankee. Skeptical. I was worried it would be discontinued as quickly as it was put on shelves. It sounded great to me... Melt the wax in cups so they could be switched out at a moments notice. Now watching Youtubers review their new toy I hopped on the bandwagon. I picked this beauty, Crimson. It's a smaller one. $19.99. I picked up a couple of the cups to test it out. The one scent I would like to see is Soft Blanket but that's another story. I popped in a Kitchen Spice. I was not prepared for the butt kicking I was about to received. Knocked my socks off. It took a good bit of time to reach a full wax pool put it filled my great room in no time! The cups are $4.99 but are supposed to last up to 24 hours (regular tarts are up to 8 hours). My cups were on sale for $2.49. So really worth it during sales :D

So it's after the holidays and I have been surfing the two companies (Yankee and B&BW) to see what deals they've been having. I already placed an order with B&BW for some soaps and a few candles. Yankee, however, I waited...as soon as they had a certain amount for 5 or 6. This sale it's 5 for $60. I picked up some regular candles and ... a Scenterpiece! Yay! I am super excited to try out this mess free interchangeable system. I have been putting it off just because I really didn't need to get sucked in to another warmer. But I love the idea of the cups..no ice to help pop out the wax, no left over fragrance to mix in with another. So many reasons. I am just worried that they will discontinue it. But it's a chance I am willing to take.
I was at the grocery store...feeling a little blue. I was told I was going to need surgery and was basically freaking out. I thought why not swing by the nail polish...that will cheer me up!
Cute As A Button is pink and at times looks coral. This bright creamy color called to me from the shelf. Now, Essie polish never really stays on my nails but it just so happened to stay on for about four days. I was really satisfied with it!
Might be giving Essie more opportunities to impress me :)

My poor nails have been completely destroyed. After moving all of my classroom furniture around 
So I figured I would make this the starting photo to get them back into shape. Today I put on some cuticle oil and cream to help my poor cuticles. The nails themselves have been peeling a lot! I'm currently trying not to get into a bad habit like picking at them.
We will see if they will ever be like the were.

When I first started teaching I bought a letter organizer from Office Max. I used it as their mailboxes ( fill their slot with graded work, newsletters and other things to be sent home). Friday I would take all of the stuff out and send it home in a folder. The folder would come back emptied and signed acknowledging that parents had gotten the graded work. Repeat.
It is huge!!! When I ordered it on Amazon it said it would hold a ream of paper in each slot. Well I do believe it is able to hold more since the bottom left slot has a ream of paper in it and you can see there is more space!
After a few years of moving from classroom to classroom, the material that covered the sides started to pull away from the unit. I wasn't teaching a grade because I was now part of the activity rotation as the computer teacher. Someone said they wished they could have it...of course knowing it was going to a good home, I decided to part ways with it.
Now back in the classroom, I thought I would try just filing my stuff in a crate with hanging folders. Maybe my fingers are just so fast or clumsy, the stinky hanging folders would get caught up. I was fed up. Yes I know I took up less space, but I felt as if I wanted to throw it in the trash each week.
I purchased a couple of cardboard letter sorters just to finish the year. Of course they were close to $15 a piece and it only had eights slots. At the of the year I made a vow to myself....I will save my money (yes cut back on nail polish and wax) so I could buy a new sorter. I didn't want a wooden one due to the fact the laminate started peeling off my first one...no, no I wanted a metal one. Hardcore steel baby! So this is what it turned out to be:
I am in love with it. I don't have to have anything else out to hold paper. This has enough space for all of my papers or copies for the week ahead, my clipboard sheets (my classroom management), while you were gone sheets, and extra slots I put my card stock and colored copy paper (and still had space left).
It was $250 but totally worth every penny!

Bring Back My Bar purchase. Not a huge purchase but I wanted to try some of the fragrances I never smelled before.
