MakeupFREEMonday: Syrup and Honey Soapbox

Lovelies, 
If you've been following the blog for more than about 1 minute, you probably know how I feel about makeup. I LOVE IT. I think everyone needs a creative outlet. Since I'm not great at art/craft/sewing/etc, I do makeup. It fills that creative void in so many ways.

HOWEVER. I also believe that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL just as you are. Makeup is not about covering up some "ugliness" but rather about taking joy in making art with your body.

WINNER WEDNESDAY!

Lovelies,
Thank you so much to all who participated in my Giveaway! You guys rock - I wish I could give you all a prize! Alas, this is not a sponsored blog - I buy all my own giveaway items, so I can only do one at a time.

Monday, Monday: Bizness in da front, lady-hawk in the back

Lovelies,
How was your weekend? Mine was lovely - got back from a working vacation in Tejas, where i got lots of sun and Tex-Mex. I had such a nice trip home. I got to play with some of my favorite people, including my sister and sister-in-law. We went shopping at Forever21, where my sister (right) got this AMAZING maxi skirt:

Srsly, how cute are these babes? They are two of the most amazing women. And they look this cute all the time - they both have fabulous fashion sense. I'm always inspired by them, in so many ways. They work so hard and love so hard and make me giggle and make me think. I lub them.


In other news - my hair faded rullly fast. It went from this at the beginning (february) to this 3 weeks ago:

Makeup Monday: Yellow means "Clear the Intersection"

Lovelies,
Have you heard about those crazy Sally Hansen stick-on nail strips? I've seen my friends wearing them for the last couple of seasons, but I'm such a committed nail polish girl {I do a mani every week, usually while watching Gilmore Girls} that I've never given them a shot. 
Last week, though, I saw some on sale.... in NEON YELLOW. Do you have any idea how impossible it is to find an awesome shade of yellow nail polish? Always too thin, too milky, too orange, too whatever. 
Did you know that yellow nails are a big trend for this summer? Yep. :)

{check out this article on Refinery 29 to see this and other sweet nail color trends}

I gave it a shot - here's how it turned out!

Thoughts:

1. It's not any easier to apply the strips than it is to apply polish. 

2. The strips don't last nearly as long/as well as a good manicure. Mine have only been on for about 4 days, and they already look like this:

All crackly... Not awesome.

3. I do like that they come in rad colors/patterns. 

I think I'd only try them again for a special event, where I wanted to have something crazy - fishnet nails, leopard nails... you know. :)

Have you tried the strips? What do you think?
