Sky Blue

Went out to Ulta the other day with my sister and bought some China Glaze and OPI nail polishes. I feel like I've been duped into only buying either really inexpensive brands or really high end ones. And I just could not find the nail lacquer quality I wanted. However, needless to say China Glaze and OPI always hit it the spot. By that, I mean you get the color payoff you see in the bottle and you really only need to apply 1-2 coats. Check out this pretty sky blue color from China Glaze, topped off by the well known (and living up to its name!) Seche Vite Top Coat. I definitely got some compliments with this one. Everyone's been sporting so many neons (corals and mints!) that I just had to go a different route.

It's odd too... I know it's not yet the end of the summer season but I can already tell there's been a change in fashion and trends already. Needless to say, I realize that bright colors would probably not go too well with the fall atmosphere, or winter. I'm keeping an eye out in trends though. Everything's just kind of peeking around the corner.

On non-beauty related issues, I am extremely tired this week. Just trying to keep up with paying attention in class is difficult. My body has gotten used to the demands of mental alertness, but it always wants to shut down by 11PM. I can no longer access or put in any more information in my head! I've also tried keeping a regular exercise routine, which was unfortunately side tracked because I did a heavy duty leg routine that almost temporarily disabled me from walking correctly for about 3 days (stupid twisting reverse lunges - it was the first time in about a year that I did them, and I only did about 30 reps!).

Ooohh on a cooler note... I was able to get Kinesio tape on me today. And I took it off in a matter of hours because it just hurt like crazy... I don't think my rhomboids have been contracting that long in my life. Tape started along anteriorly and medial to my acromion and then ran through the scapula and across my spinous process in the thoracic region (bilaterally, of course). It's suppose to give me biofeedback to help keep my scapula retracted, keep my postural muscles engaged, and just good posture overall.. But again, had to take it off, it hurt :/ I'm weaksauce. I'll try it again, after a few more lats rows and scap retract exercises.

Ahh, anyway so my checklist for this week:

1. Catch up on a lot of school stuff (readings, projects, etc.)
2. Makeup Tutorial
3. Work Friday afternoon and Saturday
4. Check out some restaurants!
5. Shopping
6. Welcome Mystery Man back from his trip.
7. Volunteer

:)

God Bless guys!
