First up, you still have a few hours left to enter the Paris Amour Giveaway!! DO EET!

Moving on, it’s Monday! You know what that means! Today is week two for Hard Candy, with “Mushroom”. This is a colour I would probably never purchase myself, but apparently I will swap for it. I’m quite glad I did. This will be a great polish to fall back on for Fall and even Winter.

Now, I noticed last week that “Beetle” did not offer to chip even once. There was your usual edge wear, but other than that, the polish held up like a champ. My only complaint would be the size of the brush. Boy howdy, their brushes are tiny-sauce…

In a final spot of news, Artfire have finally made a statement regarding their security hole, and have sent emails out to users that may have been affected. Some folk are still waiting for emails with an explanation regarding why their privacy was breached. But hopefully, the worst of it is over, and these problems will not continue. Personally, however, the lack of professionalism from Artfire has killed any chance of me using that site to purchase from artisans again. Quite sad – they’ve lost some fantastic business, and customers over this debacle as well.

Hey guys, no glorious beautiful “real” post from me today. It’s been a busy week at work, and cracking down for the start of the new semester next week has kept me pretty busy. And it ain’t gonna get any easier from here. But I did want to pop in and warn folk about trouble over at Artfire.

Last night, quite a few people noticed that when placing an order, their shipping info was being pre-filled with other people’s information. This morning, people woke up to find random items in their shopping carts which they did not place there. Others still had received email notifications that their order was being processed (or had shipped), when they hadn’t made an order at all. In a word: clusterfuck. So please, stay away from Artfire until they get this horrible security issue resolved.

Edit to Add: One Artfire shopper shares her perspective and experience in this whole mess: [link]

Also, the Paris Amour Giveaway is still open! Be sure to pop over and put in your entry before Monday, August 22nd at 11:59PM EST!

Well boy howdy! Kayla (Pretty unDead) was awarded/tagged with the Versatile Blogger and Stylish Blogger award, and decided to pass on the love to a few other crazed nuts in the blogosphere. One of those nuts is me, yay!

Here’s the bling!

And here’s the catch! Wait, what? To accept these fine nuggets of site bling, I have to divulge seven items of information about myself per award. Well, that’s not so bad. I can do this. Let’s just roll with it, shall we?

Pshaw! Looks like I’ve been tagged by Kayla of Pretty unDead! Let’s get crackin’ with this.

A. Age: 27
B. Bed size: Queen. Just enough room to where the boyf and I aren’t smacking each other in our sleep. Unless I’m snoring.
C. Chore you hate: Cleaning the tub/shower. It gets done when I get grossed out.
D. Day: Don’t blame me. You asked for it.

E. Essential start to your day: Checking my email. I get squicked if I don’t.
F. Favourite colour: Depends. Black and Red for home decor. Black and pink for clothes. Greens and blues for makeup.
G. Gold or Silver: Silver. Gold just looks horrid on me.
H. Height: 5’7″.  Or close enough.
I. Instruments: Vocals.  I’m totally talentless otherwise.

K. Kids: None currently. Maybe one in the future? Stranger things have happened.
L. Live: Born and raised in Kentucky.
M. Mum’s name: Betty
N. Nicknames: Bekka, Beck, Bones, Q, P, or Palmer, mostly.
O. Overnight hospital stays: One for tonsilectomy, one for complications from that tonsilectomy (I bled out, yay!), two which I’d rather not discuss, and one for an emergency gallbladder removal.
P. Pet peeve: I get really bent out of shape when people stand too close to me while standing in line at the Post Office. And people who ignore “please wait behind this line” signs.
Q. Quote from a movie: “You gotta think about it like the first time you got laid. You just gotta say: “Daddy, are you sure this is right?”" – Tank Girl
R. Right or left handed: Despite the fact that I was leaning left-dominant when I was a baby, I turned out to be a righty. Sorry, dad!
S. Siblings: Older brother, and sister-in-law.

U. Underwear: I found a favourite pair which I have bought massloads of… black banded in red, with a red star on the hip.  I hope they still make them when I’m 80.
V. Vegetables you dislike: I hate peas. And I’m not fond of cooked carrots. Fried rice is hell to me.
W. What makes you run late: Sleeping!
X. X-Rays you’ve had: A few dental x-rays, some on my wrists, various broken fingers, left ankle, and knees.
Y. Yummy food you make: Apparently I make great pork chops, meatloaf, and fish tacos.
Z. Zoo: Haven’t been since I was in elementary school. I honestly don’t remember having a great time.

This little meme has been going around for a while, so probably everyone has already done it.  However, if you haven’t, I’m tagging you!  Yes, you! Let me know if you fill it out!

Yeah yeah, I really need to post more than just videos every now and then, but there are some things that just need sharing. And as soon as my bank account recovers from paying last month’s mobile bill, I’m snagging that track off Amazon and making it my new obsession.

I love The Guild. Love.

Anyway, news… news. Eh. School is coming up next week (gasp, oh noes). Later this week, I have “pre-employment testing” to go to, for whatever that means. I don’t even rate an interview. I just get tested. THE REAL WORLD IS JUST LIKE COLLEGE LOL. Oh, and I love a guy who hits you with flowers, chocolates and love notes, all on separate occasions, but well within a week’s time. Ok, so the chocolates were M&M’s, but I LIKE THEM OKAY. THEY WERE YUMMY. And also a surprise, so I count them! Officially. Hehe.
