It's been suggested that I try doing videos with my blog posts (vlog properly I guess). Finally,I have given in... I created my first VIDEO BLOG! I am a YouTuber! WOW. The start of a new year brings with me, for the first time, lots of remorse and trepidation. I have been drowning in self-loathing over the success then failure of my weight loss.

My latest find: O.P.I Only Gold For Me top coat. When I first saw it in Sephora, I wasn't sure how I'd like it. but then I put a coat on over my electric blue nail polish and LOVED it. I immediately knew I wanted to go home and apply it over O.P.I's Black Onyx polish I had. The results: Here they are 2 days later, slightly chipped, but not as chipped as they usually are after 2 days. I'm sold. I even did my toes to match. I think this color is going to rock out…
