My name is Natasha, I live in beautiful Colorado. I love to write, read, and create new things. Decorating is my passion as well as trying new girly things. My love for decorating was inspired by growing up in a home where my mother's decorating looked like something out of a horrible garage sale. This drove me nuts throughout my childhood. I believe that this truly inspired my passion and interest in styles, decorating, designs, DIY, and being able to finally be just a girl.

| Christmas Vases |
Thanksgiving is over and we are moving into the most enjoyable holiday. Christmas has been my favorite holiday of the year since I was a little girl. I love all the decorations, the smells, snow, beautiful wrapping, and bows. Christmas is a great holiday for people who love to decorate. For a month or two, your home is redecorated with beautiful colors, that makes your home's atmosphere warm and cozy.I decided to add some new decor for my dining room table. I tend to decorate my home for Christmas in the shades of white and silver. I love to add faux fir to give my home a comfortable, cozy feel.
I went to Hobby Lobby and purchased two glass vases for $39.99 each. I also purchased 10 Christmas bulbs that were silver for $1.99. Went home and cleaned out the vase, (Hobby Lobby items tend to be very dusty and grimy). I put my Christmas bulbs in the glass vases and then, "wa-lah". A new beautiful vase to put on your dining room table that looks classy and elegant. This vase can be used throughout the year, not just Christmas. Now, I will move on to decorating the Christmas tree hopefully this weekend.

Getting My Nails Done
I have been rushing my boys early every morning to school. Then rushing back home to clean the house, work, and hurry and get cleaned up so I can go pick them back up. Every evening is filled with sports, piano lessons, homework, and dinner. I looked in the mirror today and noticed that I look awful and need some beauty time. I decided to order my favorite tanning lotion, “St. Tropez Self Tan Dark Bronzing Mouse”, since it is winter and I am starting to look like an albino. Then I decided to go get my nails done.
I wanted my toenails to be painted with gel polish, no design, no pedicure just some color. After sitting for over 45 minutes watching a grouchy elder man paint my toenails, I finally could have someone work on my nails. I wanted to get an overlay of acrylic, pink gel color, with some rhinestones and design. I do not understand why the lady looked so unhappy doing my nails. However, after she finished filling my overlay I took a break from watching, “Ellen”, looked down and one of my finger nails were standing almost straight up. I asked the unhappy lady doing my fingernails,” why is my finger nail going up instead of down?”, and all she did was give me a dirty look and tried to file it down. At this point, I was starting to get upset after sitting in a chemical smelling building for what seemed forever and told her,” you need to redo that nail”.
Well about 2 ½ hours of beauty time it was time to pay. My nails cost $50 and for painting my toenails with gel color the grouchy old man charged me $45. I walked out of the nail salon with a headache from the chemicals, tired from sitting 2 ½ hours and felt very broke after being ripped off. I do not understand why people who are in the business of service think that they can charge whatever they want, and treat you so poorly. Never less, my nails and toenails looked a little better.
