Product Review - Nail Polish


What?
 Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish - Black

Why I love it:
Dries SUPER fast, and looks professional.  I put on two coats and nails are flawless in about two minutes. Usually I have to wait FOREVER for my nails to dry, this is a fantastic time saver!

Where Can I Get It:
Any drugstore..I got mine at Walgreen's.

How much is it going to cost me?
Around $4.00

Pet Ghost

In the spirit of Halloween, I wanted to share with you a recent photo that was taken from my parents house...



See the extra set of pet eyes??

I think its the spirit of our long time dog Penny who we had to put down a couple years ago.


xoxo, M.

Happy Halloween!


Here is my vampire costume! The ONLY thing I bought for this outfit was my fangs, and eyelashes. Total cost: $5.00!
I've had every item in this photo for a really long time!

The flower in my hair is a fake flower that is in a flower pot in my bedroom :)


I look a little scary in this picture!

I hope you all had a great Halloween!!

I LOVE The Zoo!

One of my favorite places to go in Columbus is to go to the Zoo.  Ryan and I went last year on one of our first dates, and decided to try to make it a once a year activity.  We went this weekend and had a blast. The weather was perfect, and the trees are just starting to change colors which made our trip even more enjoyable.  Here are a few photos.

The Polar Bear, Ry's favorite.

So Pretty.

I LOVE PENGUINS.

Gorilla - right after he banged on the glass at me and scared me half to death..I don't think he liked getting his picture taken!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
