1. Sinful Colors…uh? Black? Man. I forgot to check the bottle and I’m too lazy to go grab it. But any black would do. And it has China Glaze Fairy Dust over it. Not the neatest manicure of my life, but I was in a hurry. Campbell’s colors are black and orange (halloween anyone?) so to avoid looking out of season, I painted my fingers black and my toes orange. Go Fighting Camels! (I still can’t help but laugh at the mascot, really?)
2. I had an MRI on Wednesday. Over an hour inside that little tube? Holy cow cue heart attack. It didn’t help that about 30 minutes into it I had an intense itch on my ear. 1) There’s not enough room to move your arm up to your ear and 2) even if there was I WAS STRAPPED TO THE TABLE. Oh, man. I never want to do that again.

3. What happens when your mind is completely full of medical crap and you’re spending way too much time on the couch watching Netflix because you can’t focus enough to write your book? Ideas. Ideas happen. So I painted the living room on a whim. I’m so happy with it! I no longer feel like I’m living inside of a pumpkin!
4. If you’re looking for a perfect “natural” lip shade (I like to say “my lips but better”), try the Jordana (found at Walgreens) retractable lip liner in Tawney. I love it! And Jordana is crazy cheap!
5. Stories From A Teacher by J. Flores. I have a weird soft spot for teenagers and teachers. In fact, if I knew putting all the effort into getting my certification would be worth it, I’d be teaching right now. But that’s neither here nor there. This book is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. Mr. Flores takes you through some of the unbelievable situations he found himself in as a teacher. Some of those involve crazy (and honest) questions from students, to having intense parent/teacher conferences that do not go the way he thought they would. I laughed out loud at a good chunk of this book. I highly recommend it. I got it when it was a free kindle book, so I was hugely surprised how much I enjoyed it. I believe it’s $2.99 right now, which is still worth it. If you’re an Amazon Prime holder, it’s still free. Go. Read it. You won’t regret it.

An itch that can't be scratched is torture! And I think I'm going to go spend a small fortune at Walgreens this weekend 🙂
I need to pick up some of that Fairy Dust!
I adore your nails – the color combo is lovely, but the nails themselves are such a cute shape! MRI's are slightly nightmarish – I'm so glad for you that this one is over and done with. The paint job looks fabulous! Definitely lightens the room up 🙂

You should read Teacher Man. It's by the same author as Angela's Ashes. It's hilarious though.
I hope your MRI results are back sooner rather than later. My brother had an MRI, EKG, and EEG this past week because he fainted twice a few weeks ago. He's in the same boat as you.
The paint looks great though. Much better!
So impressed that you painted a room! I had an MRI once and did not enjoy it either. Yuck.
That books sounds good! And $2.99? Wow!
Wow, room and nail painting this week! They both look fab! I love your mani, really pretty!
LOVE the mani, as always. Your nails always look like they were done by a profesh.
MRIs are the worst. I had one a few years ago when I was having bad migraines and they had to give me valium because it freaked me out.
Love the new color on the walls, very pretty!
XOXO hope you had a fab weekend, love!
The room looks much cheerier – I don't think I'd want orange on any of my walls lol
Love the mani !!
