Kleancolor Nailpolishes

Okay I have no idea why you do not see more of these polishes talked about around the beauty communities. They are amazing! IMO they are better than any China Glaze polish or Essie polish *and yes, I do own both brands*. Not only are the color choices beautiful and some of the most unique that I have ever seen, but they are incredibly inexpensive and usually one coat leaves you with the perfect opaque color!

Kleancolor nailpolishes can be bought at a few different places:

Beauty Supply Stores in your area
Amazon.com
Ebay.com

And I'm sure there are many more places as well. If you know of any additional places that they can be purchased, please leave a comment under this post so that others can also get that information! Thanks!!

Anyway, the next time you see a Kleancolors nailpolish and think that just because it is way to inexpensive to be a good polish *normally only $1.oo!*, think again! They are amazing..but I'll leave you with some pictures of my nails that I used Kleancolor polishes on and let you be the judge.


This is Kleancolor METALLIC GREEN!
*and of course two Sinful Colors polishes, one in 24/7 which is the hot pink and the green glitter one is in the color Green Ocean*



This is probubly now one of my favorite Kleancolor polishes.
I get so many people telling me how pretty and sparkly my nails are when I wear this one! Plus it is such a delicate girlie color and how can you go wrong with that?! This color is LILAC SPARK!


The pic below is of Kleancolor METALLIC FUSHIA *this was my second Kleancolor I became obsessed with*with Kleancolor AUROA glitter over the accent nail.


This is my daughter's little piggies lol She has on all Kleancolor polishes. Metallic Green, Lilac Spark, Metallic Aqua, Metallic Orange & Purple Velvet.



The last two pictures here are of my first Kleancolor polish. I bought it off of Amazon for under $2.00. I became obsessed with getting it after I saw the color of it in some google images. This is Kleancolor polish in METALLIC WHITE!

Updated: My Favorite Android Apps

Hey everyone! Hope your Sunday was a fun day filled with many blessings! Today was a semi productive day for me and the rest of the day was a fun day. I got the house back in order today and then managed to make out the grocery list and menu for shopping tomorrow evening. The rest of the afternoon we took the kids to spend their allowance and then I came home and made homemade personal pan pizzas for dinner and we enjoyed eating those while watching numerous episodes of Peppa Pig, Pocoyo, and Dora the Explorer. Fun Sunday!

Now on to what this blog post is supposed to be about..my favorite Android apps! Just for the record once again, I do have an Android phone. It's an HTC Incredible. All of the apps I'm going to mention are FREE apps because I do not trust the market enough to actually give my credit card info to pay for an app. Not only that but most paid apps you can just get for free by going to 4shared.com and typing in the exact name of the app and then putting .apk after the name and searching it. Then download it and vola, it's yours..FREE!

I'm going to start doing blog posts on this topic instead of videos which I have did in the past on my channel because my new camera doesn't focus in and show my phone screen as well as my old camera did so it would just almost pointless for me to waste your time with a video about something that you could hardly see. So, I'll just do blog posts on my favorite apps about once every four to six months or so.

With all that being said, here we go....I hope you all enjoy and please leave me a comment telling me what your favorite apps are as well!

1. Camera 360: This app is of course my number one because it is just an amazing camera app, especially if your into taking pictures. I use this app *and only this app, despite what some may "assume" they know* for all of my pictures that I take of my makeup. I use the filter called Magic Skin. There are numerous other filters on this app that you can apply to your pictures like LOMO, RETRO, HDR, Enhance, Tilt Shift and many more. There are even a few fun filters like add a ghost to your picture, or a filter to where you can give yourself a big head. All in all I say IMO this is a must have app!

2. Keek: I love this app alot. I actually found this on a whim one day and decided to try it out and now it is an app that I will always have on my phone. Basically what it is, is an app that is a cross between youtube and instagram. You can record 36 second videos for your followers to watch. They of course can be about anything. I love using this app for random things like posting vids on cute things I see in the stores, or driving or foods that I'm eating or making, upcoming videos on my channels etc. Your followers can like the videos and also leave you comments under them. They can also record their own videos in response to one of your videos and that is called Keek back. It's just a reallyl fun handy app to stay in touch with all your friends. If you download it, search my name, MissVeronyka on there and follow me and I'll follow you back!

3. Add Watermark Free: This app is wonderful to have for anyone wanting to watermark their pictures. It has many settings, fonts etc and I love it.

4. Call Recorder: A great app to record phone calls. I have actually used this in the past. It comes in very handy if your wanting to keep a record of a important conversation or anything like that. You can record the other person talking and yourself talking and then save it on your phone. It works great and the quality of the recording is actually pretty good.

5. DroidIris: This is my favorite app to get all my wallpapers for my phone. It is basically a search engine that lets you type in what you want and you can search many search engines for images that relate to what you typed in. This app never fails to give me beautiful wallpapers!

6. Funny Videos: This is an app that I have had on my phone for quite sometime and I don't ever see myself taking it off. It keeps me sane when I am bored..lol There are tons of videos on this app, all from youtube, that users put on here. There are more than just funny videos, there are serious ones, hilarious ones, scary videos..just any kind of videos you can imagine that you would have a hard time weeding through the crap ones on youtube to find, well they are easy to find on here! Highly recommend this app if nothing but for something to do in your down time.

7. Google Reader: Love this app! Lets you read all your blog subscriptions and sites and more in one app.

8. History Eraser: A MUST HAVE! This app erases browser history, old phone calls, text messages, app cache, alot of stuff with just the touch of a button. Keeps your phone clean and running smooth.

9. Recipe Search: I have had so many recipe apps on my phone over the course of the last eight months or so and I have always ended up uninstalling them but this app has been on my phone from the very beginning and I have gotten so many wonderful easy recipes from this app. Some of which, I have made cooking videos on! So try this app out if your looking for some good recipes!

10. Scanner Radio: Love this! You can listen to all the police scanners, fire and rescue services in your area and any other state!

11. Simple Weight Recorder: I love this app to keep record of my weighins every day. It is simple, doesn't take up that much space on your phone and helps you remember what you weighed yesterday or two months ago. I really like it.

12. SwipePad: Hyperspace Jump: This app is a launcher panel overlay. I would be lost without it! With a single swipe of your finger, you can launch anything from within any app! You don't have to always go back to your home screen to launch a new app if your already in another app. There is no way I could do without this app now. I love it. And always a big plus for me, it doesn't require alot of space on your phone.

13. The Twilight Saga Collection: This has all of the twilight books in one app! Thats right, you heard me correctly! So, if you have never read them *shame on you!* you could download this app and have all four books at your fingertips. Stephanie Meyers book The Host is also included in this app and the short story of Edward's point of view in the first Twilight book called Midnight Sun is also included, how can you go wrong!

Ok everyone, that is it for this updated favorite apps. 13 sounds like a great number to stop on..lol Now before I go, I just want to let you all know about three youtubers that I watch who make videos on android apps. These three guys are the best IMO of course out of all that I have ever watched *and I have watched many*. They review apps for you and show you how to work them, let you know which are the best and which you might find useful and so much more. So on the closing note, I will leave you with the links to their channels so you can go sub if you choose to. Hope your Monday is blessed! xoxo, Vee

Apologies...

I just wanted to apologize for not posting the last two days. I've been so busy and just not feeling the best. Had to take my son to the dentist today and I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday. Tomorrow, I should be able to get a good post up. I really wanna do a post on Kleancolor nailpolishes because they are so amazing and very under rated. I also wanna do a post on Witch hazel. It has done wonders for my skin the past couple of months, and I touched on that a little bit in my latest video July/August 2012 Favorites but want to go into more detail about all it has done for me. It's just an amazing product. So, I'm banking on tomorrows post to be one of those but ya never know, I change my mind a lot so I could see something else tomorrow that inspires me to do a post on so just gotta wait and see. In the meantime I wanna thank each and everyone of you for following my blog and just being a part of my life in this way. Night night...

xoxo

If I mention you below then you know that I really really REALLY enjoy watching you...haha! Also, your not going to see any really well known youtubers on this list.

Hope your Friday night is relaxing and your weekend is blessed and all you would want it to be!

Lions, Tigers & Spiders?? Oh My!

Well today was not such a fun day :( My little prince was apparently bitten by what we now think was a wolf spider (very scary looking & aggressive but not life threatening) and he had a bad reaction to the bites. One was on the top of his foot, the other was on the backside of his ankle on the same foot. The area got really red and started to spread. Although he was acting fine and the bite areas were not painful, it still scared me to death and I immediately made an appointment with his pedi today.

I'm happy to report now that both areas are starting to look a lot better. The doctor told me to give him children's Zyrtec at bedtime and just put hydrocortizone (*sp?) on the areas, which I was already doing. I'm so happy to see that he is going to be ok. It is not fun when our little ones feel bad or are in pain or have something like that happen to them.

Anyway, I'll talk to you all tomorrow. It's Friday!

Starting fresh & new....again...

I have been so out of the loop the past few months. Something came up three months ago, which I am unable to really talk about, that I started working on and putting most of my attention to and besides family life, I pretty much put everything else on the back burner...my channel, my weightloss, all of it. So, today I am getting back at it. This time I really want to focus on changing all aspects of my life and not just a few things. Of course I wanna get the weightloss going again but I also wanna continue to work in the inner me. I still have a lot of work there to do for sure! I also wanna focus on getting a better routine & schedule worked out for our family. I work better from schedules. I found some great ones to print off on Pinterest today. You can search MissVeronyka on Pinterest and find them in my folder labeled "Lists & Schedules". Once I settle into a schedule and routine mostly with the kids throughout the week, then I will ne doing an extensive video on it about the parts that I found helpful and worked for me and then what didn't work out so well. So, that all being said I'm sure you all will understand if the videos are still at a minimum for awhile. It is my hope that when I can start making videos regularly again that the change in not only my outward appearance will be different but also you all will be able to see the change within myself as well and maybe I can inspire others to do the same. Let's face it, every single one of us needs to work on something in our life. Anyway, guess that's all for today. I'll talk to you all again soon!

XOXO,
Vee
