Newspaper Print Fingernails

If you are like me, you love to have cute finger and toenails. I recently bought some of the OPI Shattered nail polish and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. But as I was surfing the web, I found newspaper print nails and cannot wait to try it. Here's a step-by-step guide provided by Glam.com .

What You’ll Need:
▪ A shot glass
▪ Rubbing alcohol
▪ Base coat
▪ Clear top coat
▪ Pastel nail polish
▪ 10 small strips of newspaper


Step One: Apply one base coat followed by two coats of your pastel nail color. Allow to completely dry.
Step Two: Pour rubbing alcohol into a shot glass and dip a fingertip in.
Step Three: Cover damp nail with a strip of newspaper and firmly press in place for 30 seconds. Slowly peel newspaper off and allow to dry. Repeat on other fingertips.
Step Four: Set with a top coat.


Cute right?

Sometimes you need to shave face?



I am a huge fan of the Housewives of New Jersey. Yes it is like a 'real life' soap opera, but maybe that is why I like it so much. While I am not a fan of the traditional soap, I do love the fact that this one is real. But that isn't the point of this post, haha. So what do I mean that 'sometimes you need to shave face?'
mostly


Last season, Caroline Manzo said that she shaves her face. When watching the show, I thought ... wow that is brave to admit on national television. I'm not sure I could admit something so personal on national television. Today, on Caroline's blog she posted a response about her shaving. You can read it here.

Growing up, I have heard numerous times not to shave your face because it makes the hair grow in thicker and black. And even though I was told this, I have shaved my 'peach fuzz' on my upper lip a time or two. I tried waxing and the pain is just too unbearable for me to stand it. I don't mind it on my eyebrows, but never again will I put wax on my lip.

I know I am not the only person that deals with this type of problem, so I ask you ... What do you do to fight that pesky facial hair?
