Day 1: Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred

Hey guys!

It's technically spring already, but there's almost a foot of snow outside in St. Louis. It's never too late to start getting healthy and fit, especially since summer will be here before you know it. I usually go to the gym and run on the treadmill, but I've decided to try something new:  a workout DVD! 

Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred promises 20 pounds of weight loss in 30 days with just a 20 minute workout everyday. There are 3 levels of workout and you do each level for 10 days before moving to the next level. I'll check in 30 days later and see if Jillian can keep her promises!

Love,

Katie

Zoya "Faye"

Hello!

Even though it's already the middle of March, it's still cold and windy in St. Louis. But that doesn't mean you can't cheer yourself up with a fun nail color!

Zoya's Faye is one of my favorite and most unique shades in my collection. It is a medium purple base with tons of gold shimmer. At certain angles, the purple is more visible and the shade comes off as a purple with shimmers in it. At other angles, the gold is more prominent. It's a very dimensional color and I definitely catch myself staring at my nails during class. 

As with most of my Zoya experience, the formula is on the thin side, but you can achieve full opacity at 3 coats and can definitely get away with 2 coats. I don't mind the thinner formula, because it's easier for me to work with than a thick, opaque formula. 

All photos taken with 3 coats of polish and Seche Vite top coat. 





You can really see the gold in this picture.

Overall, I think Zoya's Faye is beautiful enough to warrant even the biggest nail addict to go out and get it. What do you guys think?

Love, 
Katie

New Beginnings

Hello!

So I've finally taken the plunge and decided to start this blog on beauty, fashion, cats, health, and everything else that I love. I'm a university student who is finding out just what I'm made of and I wanted to share that adventure (along with any bits of knowledge). 

I will be posting mostly about makeup, nails, and fashion, with some fun random posts thrown in. I hope you find this blog helpful and enjoyable!

Love,

Katie
