Sally Hansen Salon Effects Review

Hey there, so I have been really busy recently but I am back and ready to blog again! So recently I saw an advertisement for the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. They looked interesting but I wasn't convinced that they would work very well. Still, I went looking for them in all the drug stores that I went to. For about a month I couldn't find them anywhere, they were always sold out. I saw this as a sign that they were successful. Recently I finally got my hands on two packs of them.

The instructions are really simple, just file your nail to the shape you want, then pick out the strip that fits your nail properly. You then peel the strip off of its backing and place it on you nail. Smooth it down and then file off the left over piece of the strip. Thats all there is to it. It took me about 20 minutes to apply and that was only because I had never done it before and also because I was trying to apply them with a broken finger :) .Otherwise they were really simple to use and I recommend them to everyone I talk to.

Unreliable Friends.

Anyone have those people in their lives, who are really great people, but you can never rely on them. Well I have one of those people. She is my friend and has been for 6 years, but during those years I have learned never to trust her with anything. The first time we worked together on a project I did all the work, because she would flake out on our plans to work every single time! I never learned though, she missed my birthday many times and every time I would give in and forgive her. I am not good at keeping grudges, at least thats what my friends think. I actually remember everything that everyone has ever done to me. I just keep on adding to the list every time, and her list is at least five pages long. Anyway, fast forward to this week, when we have tests in every subject. She asks if we can make a study guide together and split the work, I agreed because I had soccer and other tests and didn't have that much time to study. I finish my part of the guide and email it to her, but she never emails her part, I sent her reminder texts, still no answer. Now it is 9:45 on the night before the test and I still don't have her portion of the work, and am so angry.
Anyway, I just see that I am more reliable than her and hopefully in the real world she won't be able to get away with flaking off all of her responsibilities. The good thing is she is doing really badly in history and I am doing really well. At least she can see that real work pays off and that slacking will never help her.

Thanks for dealing with my rant

A post in which I express my feelings about the world cup bid

I am an avid soccer player. I am seriously pursuing playing at a higher level and many people believe that I have the potential. So earlier this week I was looking forward to hearing the results of the bid for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. I signed the petition for the bid in the USA and was really rooting for the US. I live in New York so I would have been able to go to the venues in New York to see the games and it would have been a great treat. I also believed that the US was going to win the bid.
At ten o'clock on thursday I run to computer during a break in my school day to check who won the bid and I saw that it was Qatar. I don't have anything against Qatar, but I really thought that the US was a better choice. Disappointed I went about my day as usual, not thinking about the world cup until during soccer practice. We were doing fitness and there was nothing else for me to think about, so my mind wandered to the world cup decision. I vaguely remember that my parents had been talking about a scandal that had taken place in regard to the World Cup bid and that a lot of money changed hands. I wondered if this even affected the outcome of the vote.
After thinking about this for a while, I realized how ridiculous this was. Soccer is just a game, I love it and many others do too, but people should vote on which country they think is the best fit for the game and that would properly express the worlds love for the game. Qatar can do that just as well as any other country, and even though I am not sure of how they won the bid, I am happy for their nation and look forward to that world cup nonetheless.

Makeup Review!

Ok so I am starting out my first blog post as a makeup review to share with all of you, my favorite eyeliner. 

I have pretty long eye lashes so I usually only use eyeliner on my eyes and it works pretty well, but this eyeliner works really well with other eye products too.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil. It is the best eyeliner I have ever used. For a natural yet sparkly color I use crash. It is not too bright or shiny but has the perfect amount of shine to spice up a normal day. It is an eggplant color, but it really is more brown than it looks online. If you are looking for something a little brighter or edgier they have colors for that too. They have everything from black to electric blue. I would suggest experimenting and having fun, because these pencils can create some pretty great looks.
