Nail Polish Haul at the new Walgreens!!!

If you don't know this already, I live in Anchorage, Alaska. The largest city in Alaska with about 250,000 in population. Never before has Alaska had a Walgreens, but we just got - not 1, but 2!!!

Of course, the one closest to me opened up after the other (which, btw, I was way too lazy to drive to).

My sweet hubby took me there earlier this evening, and what did I do? I headed straight to the cosmetics department to see what I could find in nail polishes! (Yes, I've been to Walgreens before when I lived in the Continental US, but it had been way too long.)

I started out thinking I'd just buy 2 new colors, which soon became 4, which became 7, which ended up at 11. Oh boy. Before this latest obsession came into full bloom, I owned only 6 or 7 different nail colors. I came back from vacation, and started to amass a fairly good collection. Of course, it doesn't help that my mother is a professional beautician and has access to professional suppliers which means a big discount for me!!! I'm scared to count how many I have, but I think that tomorrow... I will. That will at least leave me something to update about.

Being a nail polish noob is fun!

On another note, I did at least purchase something important - a sharps container! (I know, big woot, right?) ;)

That's all for now, folks!

My first blog post!

I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I'll truly ever continue to blog for long. I have this thing about obsessing over something for a time period, and then POOF! that obsession is gone, and I've moved on to something new to obsess about. Maybe this is another obsession?

Rarely is it about hating any one particular thing, but more of me falling in (temporarily) love with something specific. There's this part of me that is in "must have" mode. I walk around with this mantra in my head of "I must have " over and over.

Maybe this is normal? Maybe it isn't? Either way, maybe I'll start blogging about it so that I can share with the world whatever it is that is my latest obsession.

What is my latest obsession? Nails... and nail art.

It's my husband's fault.

We went on vacation to Las Vegas this summer, and I saw a kiosk that sold Konad Nail Art supplies. The sweet girl was showing us different kits that were priced in varying ranges, and he asks, "What's your biggest kit?" The girl smiled, opened up a cabinet, and pulls out this big box with a beautiful metallic case (looks kind of like a briefcase), opens it up, and . It is the Professional Salon kit, and my sweet husband says, "You want it? It's yours." So begins my latest obsession.

Oh, I should add that I do have one constant item obsession. (Oh, another thing to mention - my obsessions in this blog are ITEM related!!!) Books. Reading books. Immersing myself in great stories that I find absolutely fascinating. I actually see these stories unfolding within my mind, and it is always better than any movie anyone could possibly produce. So, from time to time, I'll probably ramble about a book and/or author.

Ok, so that's it for now, everyone!!! I hope that this journey doesn't get cut off shortly, but adventures into great and wonderful things!
