Confessions of a Nail Polish Hoarder


 Ok, I'm not really a hoarder, but I am, an un-certified, nail polish collector. (you like my title?! You can borrow it, if you want!)
I added these babies to my collection last night, as we ran into Sally Beauty before I began my Thanksgiving shopping!
 1. This rainbow glittery polish that looks like the Deborah Lippmann glitter polish, from China Glaze, in Pizzazz, had to come home with me.
 2. Oh, you lil' sneakin, beautiful neons China Glaze polishes, you!- that caught my eye and wouldn't let go...(on the left, in a neon coral is: China Glaze in Flip Flop Fantasy and neon pink in: Shocking Pink)
3. It's about to be a White Christmas on my fingertips...yes, this is what I call "The Snowglobe" nail necessities: Orly French Tip Polish in White Tips, Finger Paints polish in: Sparkle Top Coat and a little Sally Girl Glitter polish that is so sad because they didn't even give it a name!

and this is the whole pirate polish booty that I hoarded brought home to my hoarder collection.
Oh yes, the periwinkle-lavender color is: China Glaze in Secret Peri-wink-le
The mini red is from: Orly in Monroe's Red
Black polish is: Orly in Liquid Vinyl

*kind of obsessed with Orly nail polish- it just looks amazing with even one coat! I'm not nice to my nails and I've never seen a nail polish resist chips like Orly!

And that's how I go grocery shopping, I stop and buy a little sparkle right before!

huge hugs from your favorite polish hoarder collector, kandee

and you know I got your booty and abs about to look like a fit-boss, did you see this, yet:

How to get in shape BEFORE New Years!



This is the look of sheer laughter as I work out! ha ha ha (But for reals, I was laughing- you'll see in the video!)

Since I get tons of people asking to see a workout and get in shape video from me, I thought I'd ask for some help from super fitness expert, Natalie Jill!

Not only did she give us some quick workout moves to help us stay fit through the holidays, but to get us in shape for any New Year's Resolutions (even though, I think ANY time is a great time to start feeling great and lookin' great too!)...
Be warned, I had no idea I was saying "okay" so much until I edited this! ha ha ha
Enjoy me laughing through this workout as Natalie tries to sit on me! ha ha ha

Treasure-accessories...

How adorable are these gloves!?!
They are like spats for your gloves!
I scored them yesterday at my favorite antique store...
look they still had their original Macy's tag attached!
 
 and they fit my good ol' hands "like a glove" ha ha ha (that's where it said- insert bad joke!)
Weird thing- when I was a kid, I hated going to antique stores with my mom and gramma. Then when I was a teenager, I loved going to hunt for cool treasures...ha ha ha And I still love it!
How awesome is this mirror!?! (look at Ellie frowning in the reflection...ha ha ha)

since I was sick all last week I have no pictures to show of me with any make-up on...ha ha ha or really in anything other than sweatpants or jammies...ha ha ha
(you can CLICK THIS TO SEE...what other "antique hobbies" we're bringin back in my kandeland blog)


and yes, I uploaded a video over the weekend- how to make "heart shaped cinnamon rolls"- you can use pre-made, or you can make them yourself- I'll show ya how to shape them and the yummiest frosting ever:




happy monday everyone!!!
monday hugs, your kandee

PS. I'm extra excited because my sister is here to visit me for Thanksgiving! Should we do a new "SISTER TAG" (where we ask each other questions) video?!?

Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls & Frosting Better than Cinnabon

oh yes! Nothing says love like baking up a fast batch of HEART SHAPED CINNAMON ROLLS!
 
These babies are so cute and wait til you try my "TASTEBUD PARTY" Frosting! Kids, boyfriends, hubbies, neighbors, pals, homies, parents, gramma's...everyone will LOVE these heart shaped treats! 
You'll never want to eat a boring ol' round cinnamon roll again.

AND........
 This is the BEST CINNAMON ROLL FROSTING EVER!
I'm not even joking....this frosting is better than the Cinnabon Icing! This will be your new favorite frosting. I don't even like frosting, and I wanted to just eat this with a spoon!

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 stick of butter (I used salted butter)
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 -1 cup of powdered sugar (I used 1/2 cup, but you can go crazy and use 1 cup if you need to)
(optional) 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Put stick of butter in a bowl.
If it's not at room temp, I zapped mine in the microwave for 20 seconds.
Add cream scheeze (it's more fun when you say it like that) and mix til smooth.
*this is bout' that time you'd wanna add yo' vanilla extract.
Mix in your powdered sugar- slowly or you'll be coughing on "powdered sugar smoke".
Mix til smooth and try to save some for the cinnamon rolls, if you just wanna eat it by the spoon while they're baking.

WHAT YOU NEED:
pre-made cinnamon rolls in a can
(you could make them from scratch but I didn't have time for all that jazz)
cookie sheet
(that's all)

And now cozy on up to your screen and come into my kitchen as I show you how whip up these dangerously cute and wildly delicious cinnamon rollies:

WARNING: I cannot be held responsible for how excited people get when they see and taste these!

happy Saturday and lots of hugs and hearts and frosting..yum-tastic, your baker-buddy, kandee

back in the day I looked a lil' somethin like this...

yes it's "throwback thursday" posting time...and I dug this gem up for you!
Yes, back in high school I had red eyes! ha ha ha No it was just the lack of "photo advancements" then!
This was me in high school at some family friend's wedding....hence the dress. I wasn't much of a dress wear-er.

Well, no, I take that back...I did wear dresses and skirts, once I got my job working in a mall at Contempo Casuals...then I was obsessed with wearing skirts or baby doll dresses and knee high socks! ha ha

Look at all my earrings...I can't even remember how many piercings I had in my left ear...now they are just a bunch of keloided scar tissue in my ear! ha ha

and this is what I look like today, or rather yesterday....blehhhhhhh I'm still sick.

Trying to get well...your kandee

Ps. if you missed the video I posted up on Youtuber yesterday...watch the randomness here:

Turquoise Obsessions


to know me is to know my love of the color turquoise...
These turquoise goodies looked like eye candy on my table and I had to take a picture!
What's in the pic above:
Too Faced Love Sweet Love Collection Make-Up Bag, MAC Primped Out leopard Print brush bag and turquoise bristle brushes  (FYI: when I do my December favorites video I'm gonna be giving away the pink leopard print set! yay!), Orly nail polish in Gumdrop- it's my nail color obsession at the moment, The adorable round  box with the bow is from MAC's Guilty Passion Holiday Mini Sets, little "upholstered" compact is Mac's Fabulousness Holiday Eye Collection,  Turquoise Eyeshadow from MAC's Glamour Daze Collection in Divine Blue , Minty Green nail Polish from MAC's glamour daze collection in "In the Limelight" (but I like the Orly Gumdrop better.
I love this turquoise luggage set.
It was, yes as in no longer for sale (boooooo), at H&M, for the line that Anna Della Russo designed for them.
I love the princessy gold accents, the gold crown, and yes the color! I would feel so extra-fancy if I pulled these through the airport.

and yes, I already blogged my pale turquoise nail, but had to show you again because I'm so in love with this color!
As you probably already know, this is GUMDROP nail polish from Orly, and Halo from Orly on the tips to be all glittery!

Ahhhh, do you love turquoise too?!?

Click HERE to see why I didn't get to upload my "what's in my purse" video yesterday.

I would love to paint a wall in my house a pale turquoise....turquoise and gold-metallic stripes would be amazing...ohhhhhh, your kandee
