I work at JCPenney and happened to find these shoes. This was the last place I expected to find them! These were only $39. They're a good fit and they don't hurt. I recommend putting regular deodorant on places where you would normally blister. I heard that trick from a co-worker and tried it - haven't had blisters since. Make sure you don't get gel or spray deodorant. I use the regular DOVE deodorant.
These were an after thought. I started off with a regular burgundy/red color. I came across a nifty invention called "Stripe Rite." It's nail polish that you can get in various colors that uses a very thin and long brush to apply the polish. It works well for stripes or any finishing touches. It makes for a much cleaner look and it's a lot less work than using a paint brush.
I started off with using just the Sephora by OPI "Rumba Romance" gold color, then decided it looked too cheesy - and added the Sephora by OPI "What's a Tire Jack?"
Supplies:
Sephora by OPI "Rumba Romance" and "What's a Tire Jack?" (or gold and black equivalents)
A very small paint brush - particularly one you don't mind possibly destroying
A disposable cup
Nail polish remover (my favorite is Cutex)
A paper towel just in case and for a place to rest your brush
Here are the steps:
1. Paint all your nails the Rumba Romance color and let them dry.
2. While the polish is drying, pour a small amount of polish remover into your disposable cup so that you can set your brush in it between uses. (This is important so that the polish doesn't stick to your brush as much)
3. When the polish is dry, get your paint brush and dip it into the "What's a Tire Jack" color, making sure you have enough paint on the brush, and then go diagonally across your nail. (Don't worry about getting it on your skin because this is easily taken off)
4. Let the stripes dry.
5. Go back and put a little polish remover on the paper towel and get the rest of the paint off of your skin
I decided everytime I do something different I'll post pictures and how-to's on this blog, so keep checking for updates =)
Just like rules are meant to be broken, I suppose goals are too.
Classes begin in a week and I feel the pressure to squeeze what I can into this last week. It's literally my last week of freedom. With a packed schedule between 40 hours of work at JCPenney, 20 hours at The Gainesville Sun and then two classes ( thank the lord one is online ) - I'm going to find it hard to keep up a social life. Hopefully you've seen The Devil Wears Prada with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep,and if you haven't then you should, because it imitates exactly what my life is going to be like these next four months. Yes - I will be the one running for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner (probably somewhere in between as well), while trying to make it from 13th street to twenty minutes out of town to JCPenney. Here's the trailer:
I have completed some of my summer goals like potty training Gizmo (sort of), finding out there's no way to fix my bike and making my first Starburst wrapper bracelet (which is awesome).
My internship at INsite has been tied up and I'm left with $50 in gift certificates to places around town. I learned what it's really like to work in an office - which is not always my cup of tea. I find that my mind wanders in an office and that my ADD comes out.
Since I've come to find that some of my summer goals are just unrealistic, like finishing the book I've been writing, I'm going to make some fall goals that will hopefully be a ton more attainable.
Fall Goals: - Establish a routine for practicing guitar - Make updates to this blog at least once a week - Make writing, photography and art work portfolios - Work on my personal website
