Personal post: my baby's 1st b-day
Hello my dears! How are you doing today? I'm feeling like crap again, because of the flew once more. I can't remember when it was that I felt completely healthy, pfff. My little guy is also ill, but he hasn't got a temperature, so luckily he might be spared this time. I can't begin to tell how I wish this winter was OVER!
Well, as I promised, I'm posting today some pictures of my baby's first birthday party. He's
got the Mickey Mouse cake, which took me hours to make! But I got
many compliments, so it was worthy in the end (I've blurred my son's
name on the cake). Home made muffins, cupcakes and (for
some reason I forgot to photograph) salty finger food. We were 16 adults, 8 children and 2
soon-to-be-born! That explains the amount of food :D
The Battle Challenge: #18 Tutorial vs. Celebrity manicure
Hello my dear readers! How are you doing?
This week I got to the 18th battle of this challenge, only 2 more to go and it'll be finished. Today we're again on an inspiration battle, Tutorial vs. celebrity manicure. There was no doubt about my choice, I had to do a glitter gradient based on the tutorial by Lucy from Lucystash. To see the video of the tutorial click here.

EOTD: Spring look using Catrice Neo Geisha
Hello my dears! how are you doing? I hope you had a fantastic weekend!
I sure did! The birthday party for my baby was perfect! just as I imagined it would be. We all had a lot of fun, specially him!
Today I have a new topic to my blog and is EOTD (eye of the day). As you may know by now, I like makeup in general (not only nail polish) and thought it would be nice to share with you also how I use my makeup and not just the swatches. I had much fun preparing my first EOTD!
But to this there's a small warning note:
NOTD: Isadora Bella Vita
Hello my dears! Happy Saturday to all! Tomorrow we'll be celebrating our child's first birthday and we're thrilled about it! We'll do an afternoon party at home with family and friends so I'll spent most of my Saturday preparing loads of food, some decoration and of course a birthday cake! If it ever comes out somewhere near decent looking I may post a picture of the cake.
But enough of me babbling, Today I have a super cool shade I have received in a swap with the lovely blogger Jezzica, our Little Miss Nail Polish. This is Isadora Bella vita, from the spring 2013 collection. It's a beatiful lavender creme with a slightest secret shimmer.
The Battle Challenge: #17 inspired by a book vs. Song
Hello my darlings! How are you doing? Today is a very, very special day since it is my baby boy's first birthday!!! I'm very happy because it is also my first "birthday" as a mum. This year has been full of novelties, learning, happiness and satisfaction! I'm very grateful for what I'm living and would like to share my happiness with you.
NOTD: China Glaze Cirque du Soleil Water you waiting for
Here I am again to share with you my latest NOTD, which is the gorgeous polish Water you waiting for? from the China Glaze Collection Worlds Away, inspired in the movie of the same name that features Cirque du Soleil. Let me tell you this is just BEAUTY. I don't have words to describe the gorgeousness of this glitter polish.
The Battle Challenge: #16 inspired by a texture vs. pattern
Hello my dears! Happy Saturday!!
I hope you all spent Valentine's Day in the best possible way. I enjoyed a tête-à-tête dinner with my hubby, and it was soooo romantic (and also fun). I really think there should be a Valentine's day once per month (at least, lol).
Nail Look for Valentine's day: My funny Valentine
Today is kind of a difficult day for me, because
NO-BUY break until Easter and some other Lent resolutions
Hello my dears! Today there's no manis or pictures, just some rumbling. So, you're warned!
My rumbling subject is very simple, as today's the first day of Lent, I wanted to do some sacrifice. As I do not smoke or drink, those weren't real sacrifices to me, and I thought something that would really cost me a lot of effort had to be nail polish related: This means I'm not going to buy any nail polish for 44 days.
Giving it a second thought to the decision, I came to the conclusion that it was hard, but not too hard. Because, although that would demand a lot of discipline to contain myself when going out "shopping", and it would also mean missing all the main Spring releases, and that may have a certain impact on the blog too, in the end, I have so many UNTRIED nail polish, that the fact of no buying new ones would not REALLY affect me. So I decided to go one step further and to impose myself a non buying ANYTHING for me. That goes from cosmetic and makeup to clothes, including other stuff like music, or cinema, theater (well we already have entries for a play on March 13th, but it is part of a suscription to our local Theatre), it also includes not going to the hair stylist, or even buying a chocolate bar, or anything else you could think of that involves spending money on a pleasant thing. That also means I will not be doing any swaps until Easter (Sorry!).

I'm oficially in a NO-BUY BREAK FROM TODAY UNTIL EASTER!
I'm not completely nuts or ridiculous. This is supposed to have some great output in my life. Firstly, it will help me save some money ;) secondly, it will make me save some time too! thirdly, it is good to recover some kind of boundaries, because lately I've been somehow limit-less shopping. I expect to regain some self-control, and spend otherwise my time.
As always, I'll be very pleased to read your comments!
Love,
Love,
Nati
