Julep Maven Box July 2012

Hey everyone. I know I'm slacking, but I got lots of posts coming. Because I am now doing a few things I wasn't doing before. One of them being making videos and posting them on YouTube. Now my videos are nail art, make up, and the like related. So that is all they are about. I belong to a small community of ladies that like the same thing, so we all post our videos or our new nail sets and some put amazing tutorials on there as well. We also share our hauls, and great buys we have been able to get when we go out shopping. Which I have also done that. It really is so much fun.

Apart from that, I have subscribed to a few website that offer mystery type boxes. One of them being Julep Maven, I am a Julep Maven girl, I am the 'It Girl' and it's an amazing subscription. Basically how it works is, you join, you take a quick quiz so they get an idea of who you are, and your results you get are a style profile, there are different types of styles, or as they call them Julep Girl, they are as follows:

American Beauty: Charming and traditional all at once, this look is the grown up version of the All-American girl-next-door. You enjoy making heads turn in your best cocktail dress and heels, but also love nothing more than relaxing in your favorite tee and jeans. Elegantly simple at times but unafraid of a little indulgence, your wardrobe glows with bright and vivacious hues.

Boho Glam: As a profound romantic with an appreciation of beauty on a deeper level, your wardrobe is your creative drawing board. Your effortlessly elegant bohemian look pairs earthy neutral tones with fun, chic hues of turquoise, purple and orange. You love to accentuate your quirky, whimsical style with colorful belts, headbands, beads, and feathers.

Bombshell: Sexy and sensual, this style is abundant with playful prints and flirtatious cuts. You’re a frill-seeker who’s not afraid to have fun, especially when it comes to your wardrobe and accessories. This style appeals with saturated hues that are sure to bring out the inner diva in every girl.

Classic with a Twist: This timeless, iconic look is marked by beautiful yet simple cuts and colors. Effortlessly elegant, you love fine natural fabrics, gorgeous leather accessories and polished sophisticated hues. Whatever the latest trend, you’re always confidently in style.

It Girl: Edgy and bold, your statement-making look exemplifies the modern rock ‘n’ roll chic. You love bright, bold, fun and innovative cuts and hues. Inspired by colors and accessories that exclaim anything but the ordinary, you’re not afraid to stand out and be noticed.

Each girl is sent a different type of box, with products, Julep Maven is famous for their nail polish, but they offer a lot of great products. Well they have a promotion it's like an introductory promotion, where you can get your very first box, for only a Penny, you just put the code: Penny, before check out, or pay for your intro package. And if you don't want to continue the subscription, you can cancel before you get the 2nd box.

It's pretty amazing, I love love their nail polishes. I got my intro package, and am so pleased, I got the July box and I am so so happy with it.

What a 4th of July, All Kinds of Excitement!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. I had a really great time at William's family's house. It's always a pleasure to see his family, they are such wonderful people. I especially love seeeing those adorable niece and nephews of Williams. They crack me up.

I love the fact that Madeline, actually all 3 of them Jeremy and RJ as well. Love to do staring contest they are just too cute!! Love to catch them blinking. Maddy is so funny because she squints her eyes trying not to blink, I have to show you this picture, she is just too cute.

As I said, she is such a crack up. All 3 of them were doing it, playing with William. I tell you they love him so much! So they day went on, we left there a bit after 8pm, I wanted to stop by Walgreens and pick up some nail polish. I was told a double pack of nail polish and clear or glitter was on sale for $1.99 so yeah I wanted to check that out. But I didn't find the double pack, I found the singles for $.99 which is the same so I picked up 4 pretty colors, yay!

Then we were heading home, and oh my gosh!!! The traffic was horrible, at one point bumper to bumper, I had a flash back of being in Los Angeles heh. While we were in the traffic, we did get a pleasant surprise. Three different fireworks show, that was pretty awesome. We both felt it was all worth the wait in traffic. I'm glad the traffic didn't get to William, some people are not very patient.

I did my own acrylic nails for the 4th, I didn't have things I needed to add stars, so I just went with some colors, white being one of the colors I didn't have :( I know. But hope you like it anyway.

It would of looked pretty with white stars and white stripes on the blue nails. But my nail polish collection is just starting, so yeah I'll have more colors soon. As a matter of fact one of the colors I got at Walgreens was a French Whit3 Creme, I'll have to swatch my polish one day, all of them :) Ok well that's it for me. I have some videos to edit. Have a good weekend everyone!

Happy Anniversary William ~ 3 Wonderful Years!

Wow it has finally come. Our anniversary, it's been 3 years today, that we got together. And you know it's been the happiest 3 years I have ever lived. Is that even possible? Well it is for me. I've had a lot of rough years before I met my wonderful William. And I have been blessed with such a loving and support boyfriend. He has changed my life like no ones business! I don't want to bore people but really I just wanted to say I love him, and to wish him a Happy Anniversary!

I don't know what else to say. But that he has made me happy. Did you know that since the first time he said I love you to me, he tells me I love you every time he leaves in the morning to go to work, and when he comes home. And yeah in between all that, via texts, yahoo messages, emails, he really pours the love out, and believe me. I do too. He is my everything, he completes me. I can't believe how well we get along.

Sure we are like any other couple, we have our disagreements, and I would honestly say in those 3 years, we had gone to bed angry maybe 2-3 times, and I think that says a lot about us. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm bragging, but I really don't care, I am proud to be with William, he makes me happier than anyone I have ever been with in my life, and that is an honest to goodness true statement. I wish I would of met him when I was in high school. But everything happens for a reason, he came into my life when he did, and believe me, I am not letting me him go any time soon.

When we went to bed last night, he as so tired he fell asleep, I didn't notice if it was after midnight yet. But for some reason he woke up, and he turned to me and said 'Happy Anniversary', that is the sweetest thing ever. I'll never forget that moment. He teased me the morning telling me I forgot, and I didn't I know it was going to be the 1st, but I didn't want to wake him. I figured I could tell him in the morning. He probably expected a gift today, but he is getting it after 4th of July, so he can enjoy it.

Ok well that is enough from me now. I just wanted to share this bit of news with anyone that stumbles on my website. Take care & Have a blessed one.
