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!

p.s since I didn't post a 'Manicure of the Week' this week, here is my Valentines inspired mani for the weekend ~

This is 'Hot Magenta' by Sally Hansen and 'Pink Diamond' by essie 

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!

Manicure of the Week!

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that I'm currently working on my first favorites video for the month of January, it should be out tomorrow if everything goes according to plan. I should post a blog post about it as well, including all the products mentioned, how much they cost and where to find them. 

Until then however, here is my manicure of the week. It's GEM Crush in 'Cha Ching' by Sally Hansen

I must admit it is a pain to remove because all of the glitter bits are stubborn and remain on the nail; nevertheless, I still love it. I recommend putting on a base coat of nail polish before you put the gem crush on for a cleaner and more bold result. You can check out my final product below!

Take care!

Manicure of the Week!

Hello everyone, this is just going to be another quick post from me :)

The nail polish I'm using this week is one of my particular favorites, and I shall tell you why in a second; first, let me tell you what it is called. 

This week I'm using 'Turquoise' by Bourjois Paris

There are many reasons why I love this particular nail polish: 

1. First, the color is amazing, though it is more suitable for summer, I will wear it whenever, reguardless. Everyone can always use a little extra splash of color in their lives ;) 

2. Secondly, it's a gel polish so it's much more long lasting than regular polishes in terms of chipping. Likewise, it dries really quick, when they say it is a '1seconde' polish, they aren't kidding. I have several colors of this brand and they all dry magically quick, it's absolurely brilliant. 

3, Lastly, the wand for the polish or the applicator (whatever you like to call it) is a thick fan-like brush which make applying the nail polish THAT much more easy. 

All in all, an amazing color and brand, therefore this is my recommended color for my manicure of the week. You can check out my final product below :)

Take care!

Pretty Little Liars : Season 4B episodes 14 & 15 Review

Hello everyone!

So I have been kind of behind on my PLL (Pretty Little Liars) lately, but since we have a wonderful long weekend this week, it has given me a chance to catch up on the last week's and this week's episodes.

I could go into an excruciatingly long review of all the things I liked and disliked about the shows return, but rather, I've decided to break down everything that's happened into 10 major points with my commentary underneath. 

1. Haleb Breakup

I don't know if it's just me, but Haleb was one of my FAVORITE couples on the show. They have also been the most consistent - as in no break ups (Ezria) or no temporary dips into the dark side (Spoby) - and I feel like even though I understand that their breakup was necessary for Caleb to go back to Ravenswood (which I haven't watched since episode 3 - so idk if he's fallen for Miranda or not) the way it was handled was so sloppy. Not nearly as clean, or sweet as it could have/should have been. I don't know, there is so much more I could say, but they would all add up to me just being unhappy with the way their break up went down. R.I.P Haleb </3

2. Ezra Creepiness

Alright, I know I shouldn't be saying this but Ezra will always have this edge of hotness no matter what he does, at least in my book ;) That being said, I can't deny or ignore the fact that he went from MAJORLY attractive, to MAJORLY creepy (but still attractive) in the last two eps. I mean sneaking into Hanna's room, looking through her purse?!! That's a big no-no Mr. Fitz. I have to give props to Ian Harding, he's giving Ezra a major 180 degree flip in terms of acting, it's like we can see the crazy emanating from his eyes. Still don't know whether or not I believe he is 100% crazy or evil yet. Mona is onto something though, then again, she always is. I forget how smart she really is sometimes. I was surprised Ezra managed to maintain his ground when she was suggesting he might be hiding something. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed the uncomfortable look on her face as she shuffled away once he retaliated. (Mona intimidated?! Guess Ezra is even more dark than we feared...) 

3. Spoby 

I'm pleased Spoby is getting a lot more screen time this season (with Toby disappearing a while towards the end of last season for reasons I can't remember)  There is some serious shade going on with the Hasting and DiLaurentis families. Glad Spencer decided to split and live with Toby. I hope he can get to the bottom of what happened to his mom, I had seeing him all sad, I miss bada$$ Toby.

4. Travis

Kinda cute, not as cute as Caleb, but we shall see if his relationship with Hanna can blossom into something to fill the void Haleb left behind...

5. Hanna got brains

On the topic of Hanna once more, she seriously either got smarter this season or has been smart this whole time and was just playing dumb. Nah, I doubt she could've been playing dumb - what would this show do without the classic Hanna lines. But it terms of character development she has shown the most. I'm pleased with her sudden forcefullness in thinking and producing theories... though her temporary fling with Mike was an unexpected and random surprise.

6. Emily & Aria Issues

I'd have to say that the two characters I'm least pleased with at the moment are Aria and Emily. Emily needs to get her feelings in check and get over this love / hate confusion she has for Allison, it's causing her to not think straight. Also, I don't blame Aria for not seeing into Ezra's creepy new demeanor but she is two timing my boy Jake, and that is not cool. I like Jake and can't wait for him to make his return, he is smart and I hope he can help Aria out.

7. Mama DiLaurentis

Shade alert. She is not alright, something is seriously off about this woman, but I guess we have to wait and see what it is.

8. Where's Mike?

Kind of random... but did they ever explain where Mike went? He just up and disappeared. I guess since he isn't really relevant to the show at the moment they don't need him. But I hope he makes a cameo or two this season - he's cute ;)

9. Allison

She is hella good at hiding, that's all I'm gonna say... *sigh* if she was or is afraid of Ezra, I don't see what could be SO bad about him, or what he could have over her that is so big, that she couldn't get some non-corrupt police officers to handle...

10. CeCe

I feel like we are going to see her name on the news headlines soon, for either being caught or dead. I dont mind either way, I feel like she wont give up any useful info if they catch her alive, so I don't mind her being dead. :p #heartless

Well, that's all I've got to say about these past two eps, all in all, I am sort of dying to know what happens, sort of not. I miss Jake and creepy Ezra has to tow down the creepy... (still cute tho ;P) Can't wait till Tuesday!

Let me know what you think down below!

Take care,

Manicure of the Week!

Hello everyone, so I haven't been inspired to write about anything else this week; therefore I shall leave you with another manicure idea. 

This week, I'm using 'rock the boat' by Essie 

It's a beautiful pastel-like color and the color payoff is great, but you need to apply 2 to 3 coats to get there (this is without using a nail base coat). 

You can check out my final product below :)

That is all for now, Take care!
