Deal alert: San Francisco Bay Rain Forest Blend Coffee Pods

BJ's was selling these coffee pods for the Keurig (and other similar coffee pod machines) for a very good price.  You get 80 pods for around $27.  That is a great price especially since coffee prices have risen.  Not only is the price great but the coffee taste bold and very good.

Couldn't find the link on the BJ's website but the coffee company has information http://www.rogersfamilyco.com/index.php/singleservecoffee-com-reviews-rainforest-blend-onecup/#.UH-ZwVFTBXE

Go get some at BJ's before the price goes up.

DIY Halloween Bat Branch




Before:

After:



This is my rendition of the bat branch.  You need bats, a branch and some type of way to hang the branch.  Anything else is your choice.  You can do so many different things with this.  For example I filled my vase with black pearls and chains, but you can fill yours with candy like candy corn.

Loreal Nail Polishes: The Perfect Trench and Safari Chic

Today's post features two nail polishes from Loreal.  They have been very hit or miss for me.  I think I found a solution.  I used a white opaque topcoat (sally hansen french white cream 449c) for both polishes and loved the looks.

The Perfect Trench
Two coats
This color is very nice and reminds me of mustard, not actually a trench coat.




Safari Chic
Two coats
This is an interesting nail polish.  It looks shimmery and it is but the look also appears matte which I love. 



I am impressed with both these polishes and would recommend.  They are both creamy although I did have help with the white nail polish underneath.

10 Professional Nail Laquer: Holiday in Spain

10 Professional Nail Laquer: Holiday in Spain

This color was a hidden gem in my nail polish collection.  I actually had it in a bag to throwaway/giveaway and decided to give it a go before the toss.  It's an awesome color for the fall.  It also has some dimension where it allows it to be burgandy-black and even purple if the light catches it just right.

Two coats, no top coat.

PS.  Happy Birthday Little One!

Sally Hansen: Pumice

Pumice
Sally Hansen


Three Coats (no topcoat)
Love the color, definitely the color you can see in the bottle.


I really like this line from Sally Hansen- Complete Salon Manicure.   The other color I have is Commander in Chic and love that color as well.
