Trick or Treat


Hey Everyone,

Happy Halloween! I think halloween's one of my favourite holidays because it's all about having fun. You get to dress up and pretend to be someone or something else and there's candy everywhere. I hope you all had an awesome night and try to pace yourselves with the sweets!

ps.. sorry about the picture quality (my ipod was the only thing handy at the moment). Btw, they're candy corn inspired sugar cookies with royal icing, yummm.

Green Eyed Monster

Don't be jealous.

While it's hard to not be jealous at all, it is possible to control that jealousy. Sometimes a bit of jealousy can be a good thing (depending on the way it's interpreted). Jealousy can be a sign that your significant other cares about you, for example, he gets jealous when you go out for lunch with a close guy friend. But, a lot of the time, jealousy will get you into hot water. When you get too jealous your partner will start questioning your trust in him/her. And the last thing you want is for your partner to question your trust.

Although it's hard, you have to learn to control that green-eyed monster so that it doesn't start ruining your relationship. Try to focus on the positive and trust your partner's actions and decisions.

Another issue is being jealous of your partner. Luckily for me, I rarely get that feeling (which is great because I'm naturally a competitive person). While a bit of competition can be healthy, being jealous of your partner really hinders your relationship because you're never truly happy for his/her achievements. You'll always want to be better or have more than your partner and that will result in a toxic relationship. So like I said before, stay focused on the positives, try to be happy for each other's achievements. As a couple, share victories and loses.

Have a great Friday!

Cappuccino


I got this polish over the summer but I haven't tried it until recently because I felt it was more of an autumn shade. When I bought it I was expecting more of a beige shade so this is actually darker than I expected. I thought it was too chocolatey but I was too lazy to take the polish off. Turns out that people really liked the colour, I got complemented on it twice in the same day! I was shocked, and now I'm actually liking the colour more and more.

I also really like Sally Hansen polishes because they stay on longer. I'm working in a hospital so I wash my hands numerous times a day. The polish lasted a whole week without chipping (which is pretty amazing). Whats your favourite brand of polish?

Needed: Self-Control




So obviously, these pics weren't from today because today was wet, gloomy and cold. The complete opposite of this outfit (which is why I'm posting it to help cheer me up). I went shopping again yesterday and bought even more stuff. This shopping thing isn't really good for be considering I don't have a job or any income and all. But I couldn't turn down a sale... you guys don't blame me right? I'll post my purchases later on in the week (because I'm so proud of the deals I found!)
