All things LOVED in October

I can't believe were already through another month in the year 2010.... the time is flying

I skipped out on All things LOVED in September - only because not much new was going on - and the only things that I could think of for the newly found items in my life had to do with food - so rather than sounding like a total fatty - i decided to focus on the next month and find items [and some food] that I LOVED this month

and i was able to do that

1. my iPhone - Bella [Isabella]
i love her
every time I'm on Bella, Justin asks - "you lovey your phone - don't you?" and every time I have to answer yes!
I'm loving having a smart phone again and I'm loving all the apps that I have and how something so small can keep me entertained for hours!
I'm pretty sure getting the iPhone was a life changing experience [for the better!]
[and i'm still kinda obsessing over my cover too - love it!]
2. Xhilaration Raspberry Flats from Target

I picked up these beauts about 2 weeks ago from Tar-Jay... I'm not a big flats person - however I'm loving these to wear to work or out and about with a pair of jeans
who needs heels to make your {you know what look good} when you can spice up your outfit with a cute little flat?
[double loving the fact they were only $15 last week]
3. Orville Redenbacker's Lime and Salt Mini Bags of Popcorn

Thank you Shannon from Life After I Dew for turning me onto this delish little snack. Ya'll know that I'm a sucker for anything lime, and these are just the right hint of lime. I think Shannon said it best - the only problem is that it's a mini bag and not a full bag of popcorn. Come on Orville - get your act together if your going to offer something this delicious - please offer us the big bags of popcorn too!

4. New York and Company Belts

I have worn my black belt once a week since I purchased it. I bought it originally for a jean dress [or is it more appropriate to say denim!?], and then I started pairing it with sweaters, with tops, with anything that needed that little extra pop of an accessory.

5. Gel Nails

My entire life I have had a difficult time keeping my nails manicured and looking decent - so whenever I had acrylics on I felt more polished and it was one less thing to deal with - however as we all know acrylics tear your nails up, and it gets pretty pricey every 3-4 weeks to have a balance... so I was beyond excited when I found out about gel nails.

Its a polish that takes 3 minutes to set but other than that nothing is added to your nail. You sit under the dryer thing [for lack of a better word] and then it sets and you have a thicker and much stronger nail. They are said to last anywhere from 4-6 weeks. I got mine done yesterday in 30 minutes [like left my house, drove the shopping plaza in front of my condo, sat down, had my nails done, and was back HOME in 30 minutes!]- how amazing is that - much better than sitting in the chair for 45- 1 hour, i don't know about you, but i don't have time for that.

Here they are on day 1 - i will make sure to keep y'all up dated on how they look a few weeks out - but for now - i'm all about the gel nails!

sorry blogger would not let me turn this picture if my life depending on it!

Happy November!!!

P.S. there is a Halloween Post up under this one.... you will have to check out our costumes!

I'm going to try those gel nails soon! They're sooo much better for your nail - and my nails are weak due to the acrylic overlay I have!

I love your iphone cover! I need that!

Kelly said...

I just love your monthly recaps! The lime popcorn sounds sooo tasty! I'm going to have to pick up a box! And I too love flats from Target-- I'm going to pick up a new pair today actually. They're on sale for $10 and they're gray tweed with a little black do-hicky on the toe area :-) Your nails look FANTASTIC!!

Caroline said...

Where did you get the cover? I've searched the internet for it and I can't find it anywhere!!! Love those flats too!

Just Brandi said...

Lindsey, question about the gel nails..
I want to get them done.
Do they drill on your REAL nails?
Cause I"m looking for something that is not going to ruin my real nails!

How is it done??

Thanks!
