Hi lovelies,

Why is it that no matter how many posts I write, titling them never gets any easier?? It's really hard to think of something that tells people what the post is actually about, but without sounding ridiculous or boring. I suppose out of the two, I'd go for ridiculous over boring though...

Anyway, onto the actual post. As you may have guessed, it's just another nail post. Today's theme is strawberries, which you've probably also figured out. (I'm not very good at being eloquent today either).

Valentine's Day....

Hello lovelies,

So, as you are all aware, I'm sure, it was Valentine's Day a couple of days ago. And I know this is definitely a little late, but deal with it. :)

Anyway, I've always had conflicted ideas about the day, and so I thought I'd share them with you. :)

When I found out the origins of Valentine's Day, it became a lot less happy hearts and flowers for me. Valentine's Day commemorates St Valentine of Rome and St Valentine of Terni, both whom were martyred during the Roman Empire. The two were Christian and were executed for practicing Christianity and trying to convert others to their faith, instead of the Roman's paganism.

A Beige French look in Albany

Hello lovelies,

Here is my promised second part to my previous post here.

Continuing on from my neutral look with flowers, I went for a beige french look, with a bit of bling. To be honest, I don't actually like it very much. I don't really like beige, and I much prefer a pink French look a beige one. The only reason I used beige instead of pink was because I hadn't brought a pink with me. But, I also wanted to try out the beige I had bought while I was there (because it would come in handy for nail art).

Vines and Flowers in Albany

Hello lovelies,

Man, nearly another week has passed and I have not posted at all... My weeks seem to go so fast! Between my nail course (two days a week), a lot of practice and homework for said course and lots of work, I never seem to have any time. Isn't that ridiculous? I used to blog more regularly when I was at school five days a week, with days starting at 7:30, sometimes 6:45 and not ending till 7-8 at night (after homework and study), plus all saturday morning band... I need to start getting organised. :)

I Had to Buy Pants for Fat People And the World Didn't End..

Hi lovelies,

Three weeks ago, I started my nail course in order to become a qualified nail technician. As part of the uniform, I had to go out and buy black professional pants and black shoes.

I was a little dubious as the last time I wore tailored pants was for school and the reason I stopped wearing them was that I thought they made me look fat. But, I was more excited about looking professional and starting the course than about how I felt 3 years ago. However, when I got to the shops and was perusing the racks, looking for pants that said 'short length', one pair stopped me in my tracks. They said 'short length, wide leg'.

My brain immediately went 'Pants for Fat People, Pants for Fat People! Put those down immediately! You'll get contaminated and ARGH! Run! Run far away! You really need to out them down! NOW!'
