The Sky Is The Limit

Hey hey :)
With it being soon the beginning of a new school year, I wanted to tell you that you can achieve anything.

Aim as high as possible, and try and reach for the stars. There are so many unbelievable things people have achieved by dreaming and aiming higher and higher. Who would have thought human kind would fly or walk the moon? Who would have thought that women would get rights anywhere? Who would have known we'd be able to communicate with people who live on the other side of the planet?
We, we are majestic creatures. We, we are capable of anything. I just wish we'd all take that sentence and use it for the best of humanity and the best of this earth. We, we can make pigs fly (enter swine flu joke right here).
So, this year, let's make those pigs fly and those dreams go as high as possible. We've all got so much in store for us. We can all contribute so much, and give back to this earth, and to its population.
This will become a new thing where every once in a while I will put a list of limited addition things I would love to have. <3 This time nail polishes.

1) Pinch Punch nail polish by Louise Gray for Topshop! Not only is the color stunning, but I also think that the formula on Topshop polishes is amazing. At first glance I thought it looked like the color of the Divine Swine from the Muppets' collection for OPI, but it is much more of a coral peach salmon color, where as Divine Swine is mucho mas of a purple. I also love the packaging of it.

2) Chanel's Rose Paradise is next. It's such a beautiful color. I cannot express in words. It is quite summery, but I find it really subtle, and therefore versatile for every occasion and season. So classy, and amazing. It's again a salmon-y color, much like some of the flecks of glitter in the Pinch Punch nail polish. I do hear these tend to chip a lot, so see if you would like to invest.

 3)Into The Night from the Amazing Spiderman collection by OPI. Amazing midnight blue with speckles of glitter. Perfection in my opinion. It is very comparable to another limited edition by China Glaze called Want My Bawdy from their New Bohemian collection.

 4)Another very beautiful color, this time from Essie's Fall collection, is Stylenomics.  It is a beautiful forest green. It looks exactly like the Crayola Forest Green, but with more of a blue tone to it.

)Last, but definitely not least is the Holland collection from OPI. Yes, the collection. Not one. The whole collection. Amazing fall colors that vary from pinks and blues and grays and greens. Gorgeous! Favorites are Thanks A WindMillion, which is a seaweed green. AMAZING!
Another favorite is Didn't You Ear About Van Gogh, which looks like the perfect nude color for every skin tone.



Hope you enjoy the song by Feist-There's A Limit To Your Love. Have a great weekend :) <3 XOXO Roni J.

New Beginnings

Hello girls.
I know how it's not really the beginning of spring anymore, nor is it new year's for any religion that I know of, but I am going back to school in about two days, and I need something fresh to hold me through the exams and the stress. I cleaned things out with my guy friend G. with whom I had a fight yesterday. To be quite honest I was surprised that he was the first one to approach the other and ask to forget things, but he was for forgetting and not getting into it, which I guess is okay for getting to be exactly the way things were before, but it doesn't really solve any problem we had between us, which is exactly what I wanted to realize during the fight. He's just covering everything up so that on the surface it looks alright, but does it actually make things better? I think not. I'm just glad we're not falling apart, to be frank, because he IS really important to me, but I don't like leaving things undone.
Another thing I need a fresh start with is GUYS. I know we probably went about this thirty seven time, or at least the amount of blog posts I've posted up until now, but today I realized that I am still in love with a guy I fell in love with over 4 years ago, and that is plain ridicules. He was an amazing guy and I have no regrets for falling for him or anything, if anything, he's probably the best guy I have ever had feelings for, or at least was the best guy at the time. He lives very far away, in my old town, nothing happened between us, and in October I went there for the first time in two years. I knew this from the start that it will hurt, and I think a part of me wanted to go, because he is my first love, and I wanted to feel that pain again. The thing with me is that I never fully get over a guy. I fall in love with others. I don't think about him as much, but once in a while I get caught up with the memories of him. It's a good thing that I don't see him as much anymore, and that I will probably never see him again, because seeing him really hurt me and raised questions that I don't know how to answer. On the other hand, as I've said already, I hate leaving things undone, unfixed, unsolved. I need that closure, and I will never get it because there was never really something there.

This memory of him keeps running through my mind today and I really need to let it out somehow, because otherwise it might drive me insane, and the thing is that I really don't feel comfortable bothering my friends with telling them this, because I don't think they would understand, and I really don't want them to know, how much of a hopeless romantic I am. On the outside, in order to not get hurt I just build myself up to look bulletproof. The truth is that I've just been punctured pretty thoroughly with so many bullets that there's really not much more to hit and there for the bullets keep missing, if that makes any sense.
The memory I have of that boy, A., is us waiting out by the school to get picked up. Now, this was a private school so the entire grade knows each other, it's not massive. There was a little square where the parking lot is where there's a flagpole, benches, grass and stuff. I remember it being a really cold day, and it was us and a few more people waiting. I am not much of an expressive lover, again probably because of my defenses, so I wasn't much of a boy-hugger at the time, just like today I'm not much of a kisser, it just makes me feel a little awkward, and it was a really big deal for me at the time. I remember that although it was cold, I was wearing something pretty short. I remember it probably being on of the two happiest days of my life in the romance department, and you can see how dull and stupid they are. The simple feeling of being hugged from behind by this boy I think I'm in love with. I was so young I don't even know if I could have perceived how much I felt for him for being so far away from getting him. The two things I remember him saying during that whole situation is something along the lines of "you project warmth" and something along the lines of "my mother might see this and think the wrong things". How the flipping duck did this make me happy, how messed up and blind does a girl have to be to no even think of the words he's saying that are either as deep as the little pee ponds they have for toddlers as a pool, or completely and utterly insulting. I say a lot. Either it was plain stupidity or real love, but me being all full of ego, I'd rather think that I'm an intellectual.
I just need desperately to be rid of my feelings for him, because if it's the casual status update of his Facebook, the fact that his current girlfriend is one of my best friends, or the sincere fact that when I was there he didn't even bother with saying hello to me, or hugging me goodbye, because I will probably never see him again, for that matter, which stung like my lungs were punctured, it just all hurts far too much. There is an endless number of possibilities that are so near, and much more attainable, so why keep dishing on the past?
Onto the more fashion-beauty related part of the post. I recently got a gift from my mom for spring to be able to pick whatever I want at the drugstore for a certain amount of money, and I wanted to haul it.



The two items are by the same brand called Jadé from France I'm almost certain, which is rather inexpensive and really great quality, and therefore I am kind of surprised that it's not covered anywhere, and that I haven't heard of it from another beauty blogger or Youtuber, ever. These are not the first items I've purchased from this brand, and thus far I really love all their products, so check it out if you will. The first item is a lipstick shade in Marigold or 457 which is a beautiful bright coral-ly color for spring. It's kind of similar to my So Chaud lipstick from MAC, but it is more pink toned than the true tangerine color of So Chaud, and I absolutely love it.  The packaging is pretty dandy and expensive looking.

The second thing I got is a nail polish by them. It's shade's name is Award Blue and its number is 393, and it is just the most beautiful shade of electric cobalt blue with really fine shimmer on it. I love nail polishes like that for the summer because even if they're not the brightest or most summery shades I love it when they glitter in the sun. It's just so beautiful. These are the pictures of it in the bottle, and swatched on my nails. I couldn't find ANY information about the brand online, which seems extremely odd to me so I'll do some more research for you, and come back with options of where you can buy it in popular drugstores, and maybe where you can hear some more about it. Love you Fashionistas! Goodnight, XOXO, Roni J.
