{seriously, who took this picture? you think I would have spread them out a little}

The best mini manicures are from Sally Hansen. It’s true. I’ve been using Sally Hansen products since high school. She and I go way back. haha. These bottles have a special place on my desk, right next to my purse cookie jar {from my super cool sister}.

My current favs are, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat, Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps with Acrylic Gel & Nylon and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Shall We Dance. If you have soft nails like me, you’ll want to try Hard As Wraps with Acrylic Gel & Nylon. I love it!

I almost never go out with my nails painted, especially on Date Night. I was told that painted nails make your hands look younger. I’m not saying that’s the reason behind my obsessive nail painting but it may have had an influence.

So, go and get you some Sally Hansen stuff. It’s Rocks!

Happy Date Night!

Where In The World Is My Chocolate? Swiss Edition

{i’ve seen this window in my dreams, seriously!}

WITWIMC is my way of searching the world for beautiful and delicious Chocolate. First off, I’d like to say that my love for the Cocoa goodness is one of my favorite qualities. It really defines who I am, my family agrees. Second, there’s so many delightful chocolate confections out in the world that, my eyes and taste buds, have never seen or tasted. That’s just sad!

First stop is, obviously, Switzerland. If I liked to fly, even a little, I’d be on the next flight to the Land of Chocolate. In my Google searches I found a few amazing facts about this place.

Did you know?:

  • The Swiss consume more Chocolate than any other place, 54%. Maybe I could handle a plane ride?!
  • The gross income of the Swiss chocolate industry in 2004 was 1.37 billion. Seriously, I really need to become a Chocolatier.
  • It’s healthy…not only is dark cocoa good for you it’s also a mood enhancer. Prozac or Chocolate…hmmm, Chocolate please.
  • White chocolate is not cocoa, imposture.
  • They have a Chocolate Museum. If I lived there I would be in Heaven. just saying.

You know, I need one of those super private Swiss bank accounts only not for money but for my STASH’es of SWISS CHOCOLATE. Anyone with me?

What’s you’re favorite Chocolate Goodness?

Until next time…

Date Night Style

This collection is a little off from my usual Date Night Style. Can you tell? I’ve never worn stripes with a floral print. Probably won’t either. I guess I could get away with this look if the coat stayed on the whole time. Maybe. I’m diggin’ the umbrella though…umbrella’s are cool. If only the Utah [...]

Yay! Tonight’s Date Night…yeehaw! I hope you’re going on or planning a Date Night with a special someone. Need any tips? Email me. This week I’ve been loving blues and yellows together.
