Kids: DON'T try this at home

My friday night looks a little something like this...

AND no, i do not do this every friday night, just this friday night because it's the night before new year's, gotta be prepared to celebrate.

Sad part is that I have work at 9:30am, on january 1st... i don't know how i'm getting up yet... but let me stop typing now and show you what my friday night looked like...

We made Jello Shots for tomorrow!

Total jello shots = 168

How many of us eating those? = 6

How many am I having? like 3, because i'm the only one that has work. =/

And then we had two cups leftover and no jello or anything, we decided to make vodka gummi bears... we're testing a theory which is why there's only two cups of them. 

And there's my babyyyyy <3

What are you doing today on this lovely friday night?!

Silly hats!

I'm just normally a silly person... I don't do things just to take a picture... I do things just because I do them!

At Tar-shjay i walked around in this santa's helper headband...

If you could see the little print, it does say I'm Santa's helper....

and also.... the headband was falling off my head, because my head is way bigger than a toddler's.

Not just headbands, i also like to wear silly every day hats! Actually, i just think it's cute... everyone else gets a laugh from it haha

It's Mickey mouse! :D

Don't be afraid to show others who you are. You don't need to sugar coat your personality, and you don't need to do things to please others. Be yourself, and those worth being in your life, will accept you the way you are.

xoxo, Lina

You're a 90's kid...

Just because you were born in 1996 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. ... It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons - I am sorry but four years of the 90s just wont cut it. Anyone want to disagree?

You're a 90s kid if, you remember watching... -Kenan and Kel -Doug -Pinky and the Brain -AAAAAAAH Real Monsters! -Rocko's Modern Life -Animaniacs -Courage the Cowardly Dog -Hey Arnold -Clarissa Explains it All -The Simpsons -The Fresh Prince of Be lair -Nickelodeon Slime Time -Family Feud

You've ever ended a sentence with the word PSYCHE! You just cant resist finishing this: "In west Philadelphia born and raised...

You remember: -Step by Step -Family Matters -Dinosaurs -Boy Meets World

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

When everything was settled by:

-rock paper scissors or -bubble gum bubble gum in a dish

When kickball was something you did everyday!! and you played on the monkey bars and knew at least one kid who broke their arm falling off of it...

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time on a tape.

You remember when Super Nintendo became popular.

You always wanted to send in a tape to Americas Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching: -The Magic School Bus -Wishbone -Reading Rainbow -Ghostwriter on PBS

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.

And you played with Gak, Silly Putty and Sticky Tack that you stole from the teachers walls.

You remember eating Warheads and Smarties

You remember watching: -The 1st Batman -Aladdin -Ninja Turtles -Ghost Busters -X-Men

You remember Ring Pops!!!

If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"

You remember boom boxes vs. CD players

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere u went

You watched the original cartoons of -Rugrats -Wild Thornberrys -Power Rangers (with the Green ranger) -Rocket Power -Transformers

All your school supplies were Lisa Frank or Five Star brand

If you collected: -Beanie Babies -Pokemon cards (the oringinal 150) -Coins with the states on them -Carebears -Silver dollars, which were cool to have

Everyone watched the WB

If you even know what an original Walkman is..

You know the Macarena by heart

"Talk to the hand". . .enough said.

You went to McDonald's to play in the play place

Before the MySpace/Facebook/Twitter frenzy...

Before the Internet & text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & iPods ...

Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360...

Before Spongebob...

When light up sneakers were cool and you had spiral spring shoelaces

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs

When gas was $1.

When we recorded stuff on VCR

You had slap bracelets!

You actually played outside until it was dark!

When the most you could catch from a person was cooties and there was an easy vaccination for that.

Way back-before we realized all this would eventually disappear...

This stuff made me smile and brought back some memories. I hope it can do that too, to at least one of you 90's kids!!

90's kids are cool,

Jeffrey Campbell "lita" booties

Alright guys I need opinions, because I'm torn between these two pairs of shoes. They're extremely expensive, therefore I can't afford both, otherwise if i had the money... i'd order both without second thoughts.  

Now give me your opinions!!

Option 1: Black leather

After reading reviews, people had said that the leather seems cheap because it scuffs. However, ALL leather will scuff, i mean it's leather! So i can't rely on that really. However, black matches with everything!

For a background on what shoes I have, i do have a couple of pairs of black wedges in suede and some black leather soldier boot thins. I don't know if that matters but maybe it'll help you help me. 

Option #2: Nude suede

These shoes had really good reviews. I have wanted a pair of nude shoes. But at the same time, suede does get ruined. Any dirt, water, and your shoes are gone. 

So what do you guys think? Help me out!

The SIMPLEST holiday nails!!

So many of you have requested some holiday nail ideas with the new OPI muppets collection nail polish that I had also done a giveaway on. So I actually painted my nails like this just cause i thought it'd be pretty, and then people commented on how holiday-y they look.... so i guess they could be holiday nails!!

You're going to need these colors, or similar ones.... or just a chunky glitter nail polish you can paint your nails a zillion times with!

The nail colors I used:

Designer de Better

And Rainbow Connection:

Now watch the video for some awesome simple holiday nails! Quick and super easy!

Thanks for watching!

AND i hope you all enjoyed this glitterful video!

Hair, clips, and funny faces.

This is what happens when I babysit.. if i'm not getting a manicure or a pedicure.... then i'm getting my hair done! This lovely 7 year old hairstylist, came up with this look for me! You can't see the back,... but in the back... my hair isn't braided. It's the look she came up with....

Don't ya love my face?

After giving me a new hairstyle.... my hyperness after only sleeping 3 hours (went to bed at 3am) and worked ALL day from 6am-2pm, then target shopping and then babysitting... and here I am... I decorated her shirt with hair accessories.... haha

And she thought it'd be cute to make the same face I made when she did my hair haha. 

If you're not feeling it today, i hope this post at least made you smile. 

xoxo, Lina :D

oh HEY!

Thought i'd share this piccay with you all. It's not as pretty as I'd like... I was hoping you could see my makeup that i got a zillion compliments on... but I guess not.

This is me, getting ready to go to worky. I know we're not allowed to wear red flowers in our hair.... so I figured I'd try to go for a black flower... :D I need a little bit of me to shine while at work.

Oh, and my hair if finallly getting long! If you guys saw any of my very early videos, you'd see my hair is like shoulder length. 

Feeling prettylicious, 

and off to worky,

xoxo, Lina

Hello Kitty raincoat

This is one of the most.... um... interesting raincoats i have ever seen. It's from Forever 21's hello kitty collection of clothes. I don't exactly see how it fits into hello kitty... i don't know, did hello kitty wear a see through rain coat?

The hello kitty shirt underneath, doesn't come as part of the rain coat. So i'm not seeing as to why this is a hello kitty collection?

Although I don't think I could ever wear this, i'd love to see someone else wear it!

See-through rain coats.... that are DEFINITELY going to keep you warm...

xoox, Lina

Seasonal candy!!

Holiday season is one of the most enjoyable seasons of the year! Pumpkin, snowmans, peeps, peppermint goodies, and all these yum yums are back! I wish they had this stuff all year round, but since they don't, ya gotta get it while you can!

First up is seasonal chocolate! Yes, I had a bigger bag of these with regular milk chocolate filled with caramel... but I fell in love with the pumpkin and needed to buy some more. I DO NOT like the eggnog, that one is just ew! But they don't sell pumpkin individually.... It's weird... the peppermint is really good too and they sell that individually... but not pumpkin?! GR. so i had to buy the whole pack!

Next up is.... drum roll please!

PEEPs! I love peeps, i like marshmallows, i like that they are snowmans. But i don't like that my middle top peep is missing a red dot like all the other snowmans have, and that the bototm middle's hat looks weird.

Haha but that's okay, i'm gonna eat them away, because they're delicious!

This next one I don't believe is seasonal.. but I love this flavor...

COCONUT! and M&M's. i love M&M's, i usually get the peanut ones (the yellow pack).. but i saw these, and had to have them!

Gosh, so many choices for this time of the year! I LOVE IT!

Anyone else have a sweet tooth?

Hope you likey!

Black friday sales; Is it worth it?

On black friday, (or as Pandora jewelry likes to call it Fabulous Friday), I went to Target after work. It's not pronounced target in my head by the way... it's Tar-shjay.. i'm bad at sounding things out.

Anyways... let me just get to the point. 

I saw these clif bars on sale. and I LOVEEE clif bars, and the fact that they're on sale means they're not so expensive and i can actually stock up on them!

Price cut to $5!!!! I was so excited!!

Until I looked at the original price...

Really tar-shjay?!?

The thing about black friday...A lot of the time stores have bigger sales not on black friday. For example... when i bought my shoes at charlotte russe they were buy one pair of shoes at full price and get the second for $15.50.... Black friday sale? take 30% off everything in the store. If you do the math, the deal I got comes out cheaper then the black friday sale. 

Black friday rip off number 2: A lot of stores raise their prices for black friday to give you bigger sales such as 40% off everything. You think that's a huge sale right? What you didn't notice before black friday was the actual price of the thing you want to buy. They raise prices, give you bigger sales to make it look like you're getting such a great deal when you're actually paying the price you would have paid any other day when the thing was at it's original price.

Just thought you all should know the trick of black friday sales and retail. 

Don't get me wrong though, NOT all stores are like that. Majority are, but not all. You can still sometimes find a really good deal. If not you're first black friday, maybe your 2nd or 3rd and so on. 

To you black friday shoppers, hope you had an amazing fun time shopping!!!... while I was at work... and most deals ended by 10am..... and i was at work til 2pm. Well, until next year!
