Stylish Blogger Award & Reminder!

Today I have tag for you. I was tagged for the Stylish Blogger Award by Dori over at Kiss My Acetone Could there a be more clever blog name? Thank you, Dori!

This award come with rules & they are as follows:

1. Thank and link the person who gave you the award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Award 15 recently discovered bloggers
4. Contact these bloggers to tell them about the award

Here are my 7 things:

1. I'm left handed. You can always tell if I've used pen because it's all smudged on the side of my left hand.

2. I've started to have this fragrance addiction, but I only have a handful of perfumes. I do have a ton of body sprays and lotions. I'd like to keep my fragrance addiction to a minimum because perfume is way too expensive for me!

3. I'm a worrier. I worry about a lot of irrational things a lot of the time. I think it's because I was hurt a lot emotionally by people growing up. I sometimes feel as if I'm protecting myself by preparing myself for the worst? It's not a healthy habit, and it prevents me from enjoying a lot of life. I am working on it though.

4. I'm an abstract and critical thinker. I love to learn about history, art, philosophy, and other humanities like subject areas. I find it fascinating how through different ideas and events we've evolved as a civilization. Our abilities, advancement, and thirst for knowledge will always continue to inspire me.

5. I love the show The Golden Girls. I have seen probably every episode at least 10+ times and it never gets old. It's my nightly ritual to watch an episode before I go to bed. It is the cure for sickness, sadness, and worry. It always cheers me up and makes me laugh.

6. Authenticity is very important to me. I really have no respect for disingenuous people. This goes a long with number 3. I've dealt with a lot of fake people in my life, and I can easily see through that behavior now. I should probably learn to be more accepting because some people do not know any better.

7. I have an embarrassing addiction to reality television. I love shows like Real Housewives, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Top Model, Top Chef, Tabatha's Salon Takeover, Hoarders, Bad Girls Club, Amazing Race, Project Runway, Jerseylicious, Teen Mom & etc. I guess it's safe to say I'm addicted to television. I don't watch them when they air though. I record them and watch them when I have time. I do like other shows too like Star Trek, Doctor Who, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld..maybe I should stop. :P

Cover Girl Fuchsia Fatale + Award

I'm starting to think that Cover Girl polishes are very underrated. I know they are not a brand that even pops into your head when you think of drugstore nail polish. They don't release seasonal collections and they're not the easiest polishes to find. However, I've always had good experiences with their polishes and they sell for a reasonable price. They have a selection of standard colors, but they also have a few standout colors and amazing glittery top coats. I don't expect they'll ever be a brand we'll be reaching for, but it's a good brand of polish that I recommend. I think it retails around the same as Maybelline, but less than Revlon around the $3-$3.50 range.

Fuchsia Fatale

A few weeks ago I was looking for a the perfect plum/berry creme. I was at Target and couldn't find this shade at price I wanted to pay within other brands and then I spotted this one. This went on smoothly with 2-3 coats and held up nicely! I really like this type of shade. I think it would fit into any season as it's not too bright nor is it too dark. It's a great type of shade to have whether it be from Cover Girl, or another brand. :)

Milani Fresh Teal & Blog Award

Today I want to show you Milani Neon Fresh Teal!

This is a true bright teal creme. I love this color. I have to tell you I've been re-discovering my love for cooler colors. Before blogging I had convinced myself these colors do not look good on me. I have so many in my collection but I allowed a few failed colors to change my view on similar colors. Shame on me, I was missing out big time. I really like this color on me. I think teals and turquoises are flattering on most skintones. I'll be giving away a bottle of this color in my summer giveaway!

This is the only Milani Neon I've tried and I'm impressed so far? Anyone have this color or recommend some others in the neon line?

Yesterday I was tagged by both Lacquerware for Tips and Toes,polish insomniac, & The Phalanges Files for the sweet blog award!! Wow! Thank you so much!
