Hello again,
I have this really bad addiction. I've had it for a while, and here I am, finally...explaining myself. I do this thing where I decide my collection isn't large enough, and spontaneously buy ridiculous amounts of nail polish. High end, drug store, doesn't matter to me. I can't help myself. I just can't, okay? Don't judge.
Hey, an addiction could be a lot worse. I could be drinking it or something...hey..then I could be on the TLC show my strange addictions..but then again I'd be dead...
ANYWAY...
Even though I have an absurd amount of polish, there is one that I always fall back on. My old reliable. Old faithful. Every girl needs a classic, staple red polish in their collection.
Mine happens to be OPI Vodka and Caviar. It is legitimately the most perfect red. Not too orange, not too blue. I can wear it year round, and it never gets old. I'm onto my third bottle. Once again, don't judge.
OPI can be a little bit pricey, but for a staple product like this, I'd invest a bit more. It's an everyday, school, work, formal occasion, appropriate polish. It works with any outfit, and it looks nice on any skin tone.
OPI in the US is typically around $8 dollars depending on where you buy it.
Here's a tip. If your bottle is getting a little bit low, and you really want to use every last drop like I do, take a little tiny bit of acetone based nail polish remover and add it to the bottle. Shake it well, and presto, good as new.
What's your favorite polish? Do you have a staple color that you turn to?
Let me know!
Until then,
-K.

Oh hey,
Two years ago, I decided my room was too "baby-ish" and did a total flip. I changed all of my furniture to black, simple pieces that can be really versatile. I added a book shelf and styled it with picture frames, vintage perfume bottles, fashion and textbooks, and bud vases.
My desk though, is a different story. I'm a total social media addict. I spend more time on my laptop than I probably should. You probably wouldn't have guessed that by the 18k tweets I've sent in the past few years.
The thing is, I could never figure out how to not lose papers, notes, tickets, or other things that I deemed important. I could never find ANYTHING. I would lose memories when papers would go missing. I needed them shoved in my face, hanging above me, and right before me on the fore front for me to see on a daily basis.
I found this at work.
It's actually a photo holder, but this piece could work in a lot of rooms.
Think about it...
- Kitchen : add your favorite recipe cards, coupons, mail, ect.
- Living room : family photos, ideas for decor, ect.
- Bed room : awards, photos of friends, tickets, ornaments, ect.
It's a metal based material, and it only comes in one color. It's almost like an outdoor looking bronze, and it didn't match my room. I spray painted it with a matte black paint and it now looks perfect hanging right above my desk, in my face, full of all of those important little things. I purchased it at Pier 1 Imports for under $15!
( Sorry for the bright light in the corner, it's my lamp!)
I let it hang on those command hooks that are always advertised on TV. They're really easy to find at Target, Walmart, drug stores, ect.
It's literally perfect. It has a ton of spots to slide pictures or whatever you chose.
I'm planning on bringing it with me when I move. I'm sure I'll find the perfect spot for it in an apartment. I'm sure it'll be put to good use with all of the papers/hopefully a+ test I'll be receiving while I'm there.
How do you guys organize your important papers, and junk?
Let me know!
Until then,
-K.
