Random Skittle Mani!

I've been back from camping for almost three weeks. I had a great time, even though the weather in Carpinteria wasn't the greatest this time around. I took several walks along the beach and got so many pretty shells, including some whole sand dollars. I also spent time drawing, which I hadn't done in a while and my niece and I even watched The Amazing Spider-Man in our tent.

I missed painting my nails a lot and the look I'm sharing with you wasn't really planned. I guess you can call it a happy accident. I was in my room last weekend playing around with some of my untried polishes. I just grabbed what called to me and painted each nail a different color. I planned to remove all of the polishes and go with one choice, but I kind of fell in love with how my left hand turned out and decided to keep it on. Here's the result!

What you see from index to pinky is China Glaze Electrify, OPI Jinx, China Glaze Tail Me Something and Barielle Swizzle Stix. On my thumb, but not pictured, is Sally Hansen Big Money. This is such a random look but I can't help but like it. I will definitely be wearing these colors separately in the future. Oh and in case you're wondering why Tail Me Something looks different in the second picture, it was taken before I added a second coat.

Here's what it looked like before adding top coat.

So am I crazy for liking this? If I am, that's okay!

That's all I have for today but I have a post scheduled for tomorrow and I'm also working on a haul post, my first in 8 months. Thank you for stopping by!

I'm a new mommy, well sort of!

I know I haven't posted in a bit and I'm mad at myself for that, but I actually have some exciting news that I want to share! I am a huge animal lover, especially with dogs. I have Dakota, who is a two year old female Labrador Retriever Terrier mix. My family rescued her as a two month old puppy. However, I have been thinking about adopting a dog with my own money for a while now and on Saturday, I finally did!

Say hi to Carter!

I named him after my favorite hockey player, Jeff Carter, who is on my favorite hockey team, the Los Angeles Kings. He is 8 weeks old and I was told he is a Labrador Retriever mix of some sort. I think it might be German Shepherd and/or Dachshund. All I know is that he's a cutie with a sweet face! He looks bigger in pictures, but he's only around 5 or so pounds. I got him through an awesome pet shelter that is no kill. He had a brother, who was also very cute but the kisses that Carter gave me when I picked him up melted my heart. So far he has been such an awesome little guy. He is playful, gives plenty of kisses, and is so curious! When he wants my attention, he cries and even sometimes when I leave the room. I'm a sucker for that. Dakota isn't sure what to think of him, she might be slightly jealous. She's curious about him but is still taking her time to warm up to him. Carter on the other hand wants to play with her. He's been trying to get her to chase him.

Right now Carter is potty training, so he's been sleeping in his big pen at night, but I can't wait until he's housebroken so he can sleep in my bed with me! He actually had his first accident in my bed, but I wasn't even mad, especially with a face like his. I'm in love.
