NYC New York Color

I've been using my free NYC City Proof 24 Hour Eye Shadow off and on over the course of the month since I received my Blossom Vox Box from Influenster. Today, I decided to take pictures and blog about it.

One of the things I love, love, love about the eye shadow is that it comes in a fat pencil form. That makes it super easy to put on and keep the color where I want it. I used it with an NYC Show Time Velvet Eyeliner in Black Wine that I already owned and another brand's black mascara.

When it's colder in the house, it is more difficult to put the eye shadow on since the color is hard. Be careful not to poke your eye too hard! Now that the weather is warmer, it applies smoothly and easily.

I received the NYC Color Proof 24 Hour Eye Shadow free in my Blossom Vox Box from Influenster, but all opinions are my own.

A Different New Year’s Resolution

Rather than come up with a list of strict dos and don't for the new year, I have decided to try something different.

I came up with this list after reading several articles on they way we talk to ourselves and when I saw a sign that said "Would you be friends with someone who spoke to you the way you spoke to yourself?" It got me thinking.

I promise I will:

• Write down one thing I accomplished each day, no matter how small.
• Cook three dinners at home each week with leftovers for lunch.
• Practice yoga and meditation more often.
• Show compassion for myself every day, especially when things don't go the way I plan.

What are your promises to yourself?

Holiday Treat #2: Kettle Corn

This morning when I arrived at the office, there were large bags of kettle corn strewn all over the break room counter. At first I just walked away since I didn't want as much as was in an individual bag.

However, realizing that I didn't have to take an entire bag, I went back and got a paper bowl of kettle corn. Probably about a cup and a half to two cups.

I later discovered that this was left over from an turkey giveaway event that several coworkers participated in the night before. It's a pretty cool charity event that my office has helped with for many years. However, I don't know where the kettle corn itself is from.

The kettle corn was slightly sweet with a little salty flavor. The popcorn was fresh and I enjoyed the treat.
