Hello Everyone, It the last day of the month. So that mean one thing. Time for my month spending recap. Which I went over my budget by 3 dollars and 58 cents. Which isn't all that bad. I have manger to stick to my New years resolution of not buying clothes and shoe.  I did pick up a cardigan from the recycling center. Which it doesn't count in my new year resolution because it was FREE. 

Over all I'm happy with this month purchase. I only got two thing I didn't need this month. The earring and Ispy.  I think getting ispy will help with me not buying so much new makeup. We will see if this stand true in a few month.

The reason my saving is so high is because we saved some mega buck on our new furniture that will be here Tuesday. 

I'm linking up with Fran!

My Winter Nail Care

Disclaimer: I was not paid in any to do this. All opinions are 100% Mine 

Hello Everyone. I was so happy to get contacted by Julep's Community Outreach Coordinator, who was looking for bloggers to share tips on how they winterize their nails. They included a great tutorial of their own, which includes six steps great tips on how to winterize your nails.
First off I want to tell you all that I haven't painted my nail or did anything to them in a month. As an active nail polish wearer. I think it great to give your nails a break here and there. To help them stay healthy. I'm going to share with you my 7 tips on how I winterize my nails.

The items I use to take care of my nail are the following. ~Nail clippers ~Nail File ~ A mild hand soap. For soaking my nails ~Shea butter hand cream ~Cuticle pusher
Step 1~ Remove your nail polish if you have any on. Then cut your finger nail. I do this once a month. If you don't want to cut your nail then you can move on to step two. 
Step 2~ Use the nail file and shape you nails to your liking.
Step 3~ Put warm water in a bowl with you favorite hand soap. The soap I'm using is Bath and Body Work Paris Armour. After soaking you nail dry your hands off.
Step 4~ Use the cuticle pusher and push your cuticle back. 

Step 5~ Moisturize you hands with you favorite lotion. The hand lotion I'm using is True Blue Shea Cashmere Hand Cream.
Step 6~ Pick the polish you want to use for your nails.  
Step 7~ Use you favorite Base Coat.  My favorite base/top coat is the Sally Hansen it the Ultimate Shield Base and Top Coat. It dry very quick.  After I put one layer on the base coat on. Then I added two coats of Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant in 305 Or you can use Julep nail polish in Lacey. Another great blue from Julep is Trina Turk from there fall 2012 in Gunta. After I let the Covergirl polish dry. I used one coat of Spoiled by Wet n Wild in S068 Jewelry Heist on my middle and ring finger.

Since today is the only day I have painted my nails. This is also my monthly nail recap post as well. 

HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY.

So I decide to show you all the beige one today. I got this cardigan back in 2012. When I did the Kmart blogger style off.  I was kind of shock to see that I have worn my beige cardigan more then my black one. Sadly I had to retire my black cardigan due to it got a hole in it. 
For my beige cardigan. I have worn it 9 times on the blog and a few off the blog. Due to washing and drying it so much. I had to start belting the cardigan for it to look right. Over all I'm happy I picked up both of these racerback cardigan in 2012. I sure have gotten my use out of them.

LTB NIGHT OUTFIT with DailyLook

Hello Everyone, I couldn’t wait to share this special Day-to-Night look with you all! Using one of DailyLook’s  little black dresses as my style inspiration, I created a perfect look that can easily be 
transitioned from day to night with a few quick changes! DailyLook is a site to find the best 
fashion at accessible prices, and to see how to style the latest fashion trends. Which I know 
we all love to buy trendy items and designer clothes at a good price
For my day look I took the dailylook spilt sleeve trapeze dress and pair it with a pair of wedge's.  That way my feet can be comfortable in the shoe. When I'm out running errand and getting lunch with my girlfriends. To add some color to the outfit. I decide to go with a white belt. To give the dress some curvy. To play on the black and white theme. I went with a shoulder bag. That has the black and white in it.  To change my outfit up for the night. I lost the belt and added a statement necklace. To go along with the statement necklace. I added a bracelet with some gem on it. I keep the shoe and bag the same. That way if I was in a rush and had no time to go home. I can just change a few items up.
