Color Forecast Fall 2012

Soooo Do You Know What Pantone Is!?! If you love Fashion and Beauty you would want to know. This is the group of individuals who choose the colors you will soon be wearing.on your body from clothes, to makeup, to your nails. lol The list of shades seem to normally come out the season before the next season begins.

Ok ladies and gentlemen Fall is soon approaching. Do you have your wardrobe together or are you still collecting pieces here and there. I am most definitely the latter. I seem to be a last minute shopper these days I have to say. The Color Forecast for this coming fall I absolutely love. It has its lights, brights, and a few deeper shades thrown in there. Which is great for me a gal who loves color. Hope it's great for you too! I like the way Pantone gives each gender there own colors while at the same time sharing colors. Now this doesn't mean you have to stay in your gender it's just a guide. Definitely do as you wish! Ok now go and create your uniqueness!

Pantone, a wholly owned subsidiary of X-Rite, Incorporated, is the world-renowned authority on color. For nearly 50 years, Pantone has been inspiring design professionals with products, services and leading technology for the colorful exploration and expression of creativity.

Healthy Eating ...

I think I will blog about food also. I have a tendency to go out to eat a lot. Whenever I take pictures of food and post them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram I always get questions or text asking what is it and where is it from. So what do you all think about the idea of a Beauty / Food blog?

Anyway I have been meaning to get to Whole Foods for weeks now, but just haven't been able to. I finally was able to get over there today and this is what I picked up.


Have been wanting to try this Hummus for a while and I bought the Flaxseed to add some fiber to my diet.

I just finished eating a little something before I head to the gym. So I had two tablespoons of Hummus  (70 cal) and I mixed 2 tablespoons of Flaxseed into it (80 cal) and then I ate it with carrots and a cup of grapes.Everything was pretty good and you really cant taste the flaxseed and the texture wasn't bad because it was finely ground. I have had another brand where the seeds were a tad larger and you could definitely feel the texture when eating.

I am not able to get to WF as much as I like but whenever I go to check out I get the same young lady and she is so sweet. Well today she asked if  I had the Whole Foods vitamin card .... I said no so she got me started with it. If you buty 5 WF and 365 Everyday Value Supplements (at $4.99 or more) get the 6th free (not to exceed $20)! I was way to excited! lol

Nail Transitioning ...

After wearying acrylic nails and then solar nails basically since I was in the 7th grade I am now transitioning back to ... well just my nails. lol So for the past two weeks I was wearing a light pinky gel nail polish color (Gellish was the brand) . I loved the color, but me being me I get tired of the any color within at least a week. Soooo I couldn't wait until my next appointment. I wanted something different. The only thing is at my job I can only where light natural colors or red because its a classic color. So basically the creativity when it comes to my nails is limited. : (   So this time I remembered I had an OPI Alpine Snow white at home so I brought it with me and they just happen to have the OPI Alpine Snow gel polish. I was very excited because I didn't even think they would have the same color in regular and gel polish colors.

For once in well plenty of years my fingers and toes match! lol I am so happy and pleased! lol
