Nails of the Week

I've been moving past glitter nail polishes and been searching out for something a bit more textured, a bit different. I went to Shoppers the other day and found these two babies, and so far it's been beautiful. I bought the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish in Lacey Lilac (on sale for $2.50) and the Maybelline Color Show Nail Laquer in Clearly Spotted (for $5.50) from the Polka Dots range. 

There's just something about these two together that I can't quite put my finger on. It could be the fact that I have never owned a lilac or polka dotted polish before, or it could be that they compliment each other so much. The black and white dots both stand out against the purple. Ah, it's beautiful. 

I will say that this polish doesn't last particularly long and tends to chip all over the nail in little patches. I don't think it has anything to do with the Maybelline polish though. Lacey Lilac is super rich and looks creamy and opaque after two coats. Clearly Spotted needs a couple swipes to get the dots even and neatly clustered. 

I just love this combo! It's very different and I can't wait to try Clearly Spotted with an ocean blue or deeper purple nail polish. Also, use polka dotted polishes over formulas without glitter or shimmer! It looks way better. 

p.s. I found this cup at after playing soccer one night! I feel so cool drinking tea out of this thing.

Recent Captures

I've done some recent harvesting from my family's garden! Picking potatoes is by far my favourite. I go out to the bed with gloves and a two big buckets, one for the potatoes and one for the soon-to-be composted plant. We had quite the potato haul this year, I can't wait for upcoming dinners. Garlic, zucchini, and squash were also ripe for harvesting. 

I also got the amazing opportunity to feed a baby deer while I was babysitting. This little guy's name is Cutie! The owners found him when he was a day or two old and took him in. The feed him goats milk (from the goats above) and he loves it when you scratch his neck. I've never been this close to a deer before, but I'm overjoyed I was able to. 

Squamish Valley Music Festival!

Way back in April or something, my favourite radio station, 102.7 The Peak,  was giving away tickets to a music festival that's not too far from where I live. So on the way to school I decided to call in, just for the heck of it. And I basically freak out when I got through and WON! The whole deal, camping, parking, and weekend passes! So here are a couple photos and things from the festival...

Our tickets, us in of our ghetto tent, Macklemore with Irish Celebration!
