A Southern girl is a girl who knows full and well that she can open a door for herself but prefers for the gentleman to do it because it demonstrates a sense of respect. After all, every girl wants to be treated like a princess. She knows how to make sweet tea and grits while telling you everything about any football team in the SEC. She picks her battles and fights with the heart of a pit-bull while still maintaining grace and elegance. Her mystique is that of a soft-spoken, mild-mannered southern belle who could direct an army, loves her momma, and will always be daddy's little girl.

Product Review: Sally Hansen Nail Effects Real Nail Polish Strips

This week I used Sally Hansen Salon Effects and I LOVED it!! I put these on Wednesday and today is Sunday. I have not had one single chip in my nails. This is huge for me! I have never had a polish last this long on my nails and look this perfect! It is truly amazing! The only negative thing I have to say is that it took me about an hour to put on. I think this may be because it was my first time but I didn't mind. One box costs about $9, more than a bottle of polish, but less than a manicure! The stickers were nothing like I thought they would be.They are very thin and stretchy. They even smelled like real nail polish! I will certainly use this again and I would recommend it to anyone!

This is how mine turned out...
I used Glitz Blitz.

The directions are clearly defined in the box and to remove you simply use normal polish remover when you are ready to take them off!

Latest Obsessions

1. TV SHOW: Lie to Me
This is the most entertaining series that I have watched in forever, that is not a reality show. Have you ever realized how much you actually lie in a simple conversation? It is estimated that in a 10 minute conversation a person tells about 3 lies. In this show, each episode has two story lines going on, not to mention the personal story that is continually going on in the background with the cast members. If you like Law & Order, you will LOVE this!! You can find it on Fox. Lightman solves mysteries and crimes through interview after interview to determine who is at fault. It keeps you locked in to the very end!

2. Guns
I went to my mom's cousins house and was there talking to her husband (B) and his father- in- law (T), my great uncle about how they went to the shooting range that morning. I saw on the news a few weeks ago that mothers and daughters are taking classes mainly just for self defense. Now, you know how men are with their guns! So after a long talk with these men and my dad, I became interested in guns. B helped me find an appropriate gun online for me, and dad promised to take me to the range a weekend soon! I am pretty excited about this, because I think it would be cool to be able to say I know how to shoot a gun!3. Nail Polish: China Glaze- Shocking Pink
I love this color!! I have always wanted a neon color but I was a little too nervous to try it! I bought one at a local drugstore last month but it chipped and peeled the day after I painted my nails! So tonight I painted mine with China Glaze tonight and we will see how this turns out! It took about 4 coats to be thick enough but this vibrant color is very pretty!

4. Cooking
Lately I have been cooking dinner every night for my family! I love to try new recipes I read about or come across. I actually planned out a weeks worth of meals and cooked them all from the Weight Watchers Cookbook. The other day I found a recipe for peach frozen yogurt, I made that tonight! Yummy! I love to incorporate summer fruits into my recipes during this time!
5. Painting
Since I have not been working I have been painting a ton! This week I finally finished one of my big projects! I found an old trunk at the Re- Store place for Habitat for Humanity and totally repainted all of it with Lilly Prints and my monogram on top. I also finished my paddle and a pair of letters. I had planned on giving them to my little but now that I painted them, I really love them and don't know if I want to give them away! All of it is hand painted, it was definitely a labor of love! I will post pictures of all my pieces later!
