I'm so much funnier on the internet

I gave up on the OPI Nail Envy. It just wasn't living up to the standard Nailtiques had set. So I hopped back on Ebay and ended up getting a .5oz bottle for $9.99 with free shipping (that's almost half price!). WOOT! I had to have it shipped to Hi-Tek because my post office hates me and it was smooth sailing.

Saturday I took a Basics of Pistols training class. LOVED IT. We did a few hours of basic handgun knowledge and then we loaded up and went to the range. Ya'll, it was 34° outside with a wind chill of 24­° and it was SNOWING. I was frozen to the bone but it was awesome. I missed a few times but more often than not I made a decent shot. We did different exercises to get us used to moving around and handling our gun.

Patrick has gotten me a Taurus revolver (.357 magnum but it can shoot .38s). I adore it ♥. It's so easy to shoot and it's insanely easy to clean and care for. No taking apart. Open up the cylinder, clean the barrel and the cartridge areas and bam! you're done. I would like to try shooting a semi-automatic but I've always wanted a revolver. It was my favorite gun in Resident Evil! As soon as it warms up you can bet I'll be bugging Patrick to take me to the range all the time. He'll get so tired of me!

We're in the middle of a stand off with potty training. She won't be in the potty if she wears Pull-Ups but when she pees in her panties she won't tell us. I think I'm going to use my color timer and set it for 15 minutes. Then we'll go potty, come back and set it for 15 minutes again. Keep that up until she gets it down. That's what my aunt did with her and she had some success. She's getting too big for diapers (taking them off on her own! Little meanie.) Today she pooped in her diaper and then took it off. Of course she was supposed to be taking a nap so she got it all over her bed. We had to strip the beds down, wash all the sheets and pillow cases and Patrick vacuumed and Lysoled (is that a word?) the whole room down. She knows better than that, I know she does. All she has to do is tell us her diaper is dirty (and she can do it, she has before!) and we'll change her. I've GOT to get this potty training thing going.

Does anyone use AIM anymore? I recently got back into an old account and no one is ever on.

It's 2:30am and I should be asleep (insomnia FTL) because I have an appointment tomorrow and Sam will have me up early but I'm just not tired :(

Oh and today is day one of trying jojoba oil as a hair product. Giving it another chance as a moisturizer too because my skin is miserable. It's peeling and rough and just so blah. First I broke out everywhere and now I'm all flakes.

As soon as my nails get a little length on them I'll post pics so you can see why I love Nailtiques so much.

Covergirl is turning 50 ya'll. I think everyone has their own opinion of the product, what's yours?

They're having a contest and giving away freebies. Check them out.

I've never owned an Urban Decay product (they don't sell that at Walgreen's lol) but MAN I've wanted some. Evelyn at Beauty Ambition has reached 600 followers and is giving away a Book of Shadows III (!!)

This is going to be really short because all I'm going to say is read and pass this on! I used box color for years and luckily never had any reaction to it but that doesn't mean that it could never happen. Now that I've spent some time in a salon atmosphere I realize, you never can tell what is going to happen when you mix those chemicals up. If you can't go to a salon, at the very least find someone who works in one to get advice from.

Haircolor Almost Kills British Teen

I attempted the half moon/ruffian look on my nails today. I've seen it called both names and I'm not sure which one it actually is. My right hand is more wonky than my left but I guess it's not so bad for my first try.

A few things I've bought in the last couple of days. Walgreens has some Rimmel products for 50% off and their Sinful Colors polishes are always inexpensive so I bought some :) I also bought some TreSemme dry shampoo. I'm hoping I can make a shampoo last more than one day. My hair is oily and it hates me! At Target the other day I got a Sonia Kashuk highlighting brush hoping to be able to use it for foundation but I wasn't very happy with the results. May have to keep looking on that end. I also bought a neutral (for my skin tone) lip liner since all I seem to have is reds and burgundy. I need to invest in a few more of those. As soon as I find some lipsticks that don't make me look like a goth wannabe, a hooker, or a little girl playing in mommy's makeup. Wish me luck on that one!

Jump for pics :)

Today was a strange day. I was late for school and the rain + humidity = horrible hair. I needed money to pay my instructor to replace her trimmer blades so I killed two birds with one stone. So I headed to Walgreen's to buy some hair clips and get cash back.

A while back I was doing my usual random website jumping and I found a forum where someone recommended Magic Shaving Powder as an alternative to bikini waxes/shaving. It's an inexpensive product and fairly easy to find so I went and bought some. I think I used it once and threw it under the sink with everything else but the other day I decided to use it for my first review.

Of course, I didn't use it on my bikini area (I'm pretty sure those pics would violate...well everyone), instead I used it on my underarms. Not very sexy but hey, it's PG. So here we go!
