Is Kate Cassidy (Laurel Lance from Arrow) Getting too thin?

Hello everyone, now I know it’s been a while since I’ve made a post… So I thought that this week I’d share some thoughts I had on one of the characters from the show Arrow

If you don’t watch Arrow, no fret, you can still read this post because it isn’t actually about the plot of the show (I plan to write that post sometime in the near future).

One of the characters portrayed by actress Kate Cassidy seems to be getting too thin lately… I don’t know if it’s just me who has noticed it, but ever since the second season started it seems to get progressively more noticible. I tried to find a relatively old, and new pic to try and show the difference.


I’m not going to write words like anorexia or bulimia or anything like that because I am neither implying any mental or physical illness, nor saying that she is getting TOO thin… I know as people age their faces can change, or if work load gets excessive you can shed a few pounds.

The thing is, that even if she did shed a few pounds and that is why her face seems more pointed and elongated, her neck looks soooo emaciated to me compared to before, and since arrow is my guilty pleasure show and she is a main character, it does feel kind of hard to watch some times because the difference is so striking…

(now)


I love Kate Cassidy, she was my favorite character in Monte Carlo and I think she is beautiful, so long as she is healthy that is all that matters.


I just thought I’d share since I haven’t seen many other people commenting on it, so I was wondering if it’s maybe just me that cares or noticed…

A new (and belated) fashion post should be up tomorrow :D!
Take care!

Valentines Day ♥

Hello everyone, it appears as though love is in the air... for some at least ;)

Yes, it is that time of year again, when the prices of roses and chocolate increase exponentially for one week only... none other than Valentine's Day



I created this little collage of all the things typically associated with Valentine's Day... the stereotypical chocolates, candy, flowers, and couples doing couple-y things. But as opposed to dreading V-day (cause you know... living that single life :P) I actually look forward to it.

If you ask me, I look forward to all the lame or sometimes impressive pick-up lines that can just be told for fun, and not in the interest of scoring a date.



I look forward to the romance flicks so I can watch them with my close friends, because I mean honestly, who wants to see a romance with their significant other?... totally kills the fun. Those films are made to be laughed at, cried at, and pretty much shredded by you and your besties.


I look forward to seeing everyone looking doe-eyed and the feelings of joy in the air...



I look forwards to the pinks,  purples, and reds everywhere and all the stores theming their displays...


And... I enjoy the cute little Valentine candy-grams that some people go around sharing for the sake of making people happy :)


Anyways, whether you will be spending this Valentines alone, or with someone you love, be sure to enjoy it! Leave the self loathing and loneliness with those chocolate wrappers in the garbage ;)

Have a wonderful night, and Take care!

Manicure of the Week!

Hey everyone, this week I have a different kind of manicure to show you... it's adhesive! I was afraid to try it because I didn't know how it would look or feel, but I have to admit I really like it. It's simple to apply and even simpler to remove. 

This week I'm wearing Sally Hansen Salon Effects in 'plum'


You just take out the right sized strip and file it to the size of your nail and leave it for a few seconds and it dries. It lasts for about 10 days, and the best part is it can't chip because it's not a liquid nail coat that had to harden. Then to remove it you just use nail polish remover. You can check out my finished product below!
p.s the filter makes the color look brighter, in reality it's pretty dark :) 

Take care!
