GLOSSette here!!! These are the first swatches of many that I will be doing for various drugstore eyeshadows. I will review them on my Youtube channel. Knock on Wood looks more pigmented in swatches than Walking on Eggshells because the shades are darker.

GLOSSette here!! I have been very obsessed with nail polishes lately and always changing colors all the time and getting new polishes. These are my top 5 summer nail polishes. They are in no particular order.
Central Park (New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish): This is one of my first NYC nail polishes. This pinky peach color is great all year round and is soo easy to apply you can be out the door in 5 mins. The only issue I have is that it does not last long.
East Village (New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish): I love this turquoise (wow I cannot for the life of me spell that word) colored nail polish. It is not a dark as it looks on the tube. I like to wear it on every other nail alternating with Central Park. Makes my nails look like cotton candy… the ones you get in a summer fun fair.
Lacey Lilac (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color): Perfect pastel purple color. I’m really into colors that have no shimmer/glitter in them. I don’t even know why I bought this color considering I hate the color purple. I only use purple for eyeshadow cuz it makes my brown eyes pop. I think maybe cuz my bf likes purple I’m starting to use things that are purple. AND I’m pretty sure this is a dupe of OPI’s Do You Lilac It,
Fuchsia Power(Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color): Hot pink is soo daring and when I first got it I knew it would be an accent color or for my toes. I have it on my ring finger with some glitter polish on top.
Crushed(Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color): I have never owned a red nail polish so I thought I would give this a try since it is a orangey red so it’s not so shocking. I love it on my toes. It gives me feet some pop and looks great when I wear sandles/ flip flops for the summer.
Strobe Light (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color): I didn’t count this in my top 5 but I thought I would throw in a glitter polish. This one is pinky purpley silver and are chunks of glitter. It is great on the ring finger over an accent color.I like glitter polish but since it is so hard to remove I would not put it on all my nails. They are great for toes too.

GLOSSette here!!! Had some canned tomatos lying around the house… bought a huge thing of it cuz it was on sale and used half of it on an Indian recipe so what to do with the rest??? I decided to make spaghetti. This is the easiest possible way to make it and great for those lazy days. Plus it is soo healthy. There are some alternatives at the end if you want more flavour and less health lol.
4 Servings
Ingredients
4 tbsp of oil
1 onion diced
3 tomatoes diced and 1 tbsp puree (used half a huge can of whole tomatoes with puree)
salt to taste
Italiano Seasoning to taste (or any dried herbs you’d like)
Directions
Slightly brown onions in medium/high heat. Add tomatos, puree and seasonings. Stir for few minutes. Turn to medium/low heat and simmer for approx 15 mins. Uncover the lid and cook on medium/high heat for 5 more minutes.
Finishing Touches:
Pour desired amount of yummy tomato sauce on a plate of whole wheat spaghetti. You can use other forms of whole wheat pasta (whatever kind if your favorite).
Alternatives:
If you like to add meat, you can add some ground beef (when you add the tomatos), meat balls (pre-cooked), or sausages (pre-cooked) or bacon (pre-cooked). I had some leftover bacon so I used that…. if you use the pre-cooked (aka you cook on a skillet separately) then add after you simmer.
Top it off with some shredded cheese of your choice.
Enjoy!!!
