Nail Polish Collection...

After decluttering here's what I ended up keeping...

What I consider to by my Holy Grails...will continue to repurchase (except the Chanel May)

Opi Big Apple Red (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Limited Addiction (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Mademoiselle (I use this for hands only)

Essie Cute as a Button (I use this for feet only)

I'm drawn to pinks for the cheerfulness and prefer reds when I want to feel sexy and sassy. My go to colors are Essie Cute as a button and Essie Limited Addiction.
I love a baby pink for everyday, but have yet to find the Holy Grail. Opaque but still light enough to not look milky.

Spa Ritual Cuticle Quench

Spa Ritual Nutri-Thick Calcium Nail Builder (old label)

Spa Ritual Fluent Lacquer Remover (old label)

Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock Basecoat (found this recently at Winners)

Product Highlight: Spa Ritual
Had the opportunity to use this line during school and love the philosophy behind the line. Color range is huge and each has a meaning.

From their site;
"Our nail lacquers and nail care essentials are vegan and formulated without DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin."

Readers, have you tried Spa Ritual products? Any favourites? Also if you have any favourite Holy Grail pink/nude polish you can't live without please share!

Update...Makeup Decluttering

From my last post, I managed to go through all my makeup and weed out keeps vs throw away or gift...

Here's a reminder of the chaos...

Gifts, back to mac and garbage is already tossed...

Keeping for polish: What I consider to by my Holy Grails...will continue to repurchase (except the Chanel May)

Opi Big Apple Red (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Limited Addiction (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Mademoiselle (I use this for hands only)

Essie Cute as a Button (I use this for feet only)

As you know from my last post I mentioned I wanted to tackle the feat of decluttering my makeup, and I think I did an excellent job considering I'm a hoarder :D

First step was getting rid, and next will be organizing what I kept. I'm hoping to get that done the following week and will post an updated pic...

Thanks for tuning in and have a great weekend! Also if you're inspired and plan to declutter, please share pics!

Update...New Beginnings

Hello Everyone! I apologize for being MIA this last week has been hectic, but a good hectic!

In case you missed it...

I gave birth! As I mentioned previously, 2014 will hold new and exciting paths... and a definite change in the blog. While I won't detour too much from makeup, skincare and clothes I would love to share some experiences from pregnancy and post. I know I had so many questions, and it was difficult to find resources. Also, I'd love to share baby's must haves and such! 

Other things on my mind...
I was reading this great post from Katherine, and it inspired me to declutter my makeup!
I hardly use all of my makeup and seriously have no time to get all fancy now. So in the next few weeks I'll re-evaluate and toss!

My goal is to downsize into the 2 drawer inserts seen above. (found those at Homesense on one of my shopping trips.)

I also have been wanting a clear case forever, but that just asks for more hoarding. I'll have a better idea what to look for once I declutter. But I would purchase one of these if I do:

Muji 5 drawer Acrylic Case

Muji 3 drawer Acrylic Case

I did also spot some great acrylic cases at Homesense so may return for those if the Muji's are still sold out.

That's it for now and I'll try my best to post periodically! Thank you for visiting!

Preview 2014...

It's the start of the New Year and everyone seems to have their New Years Resolutions... so here's what's in store for me personally and on Pass or Praiseworthy blog...

Goal Setting: Every year I set goals at 6mths, 1 year, and 5 years and revisit them often

Lists: This year along with goal setting I'll be actively doing lists, I love lists and feel they give you instant gratification from accomplishments

Shop my Stash: I noticed I've been forgetting my back up stash bag, and found several products have expired. I'll need to amalgamate everything into one bag or box and revisit before I make new purchases. That or donate before it expires. Along that note, I need to see more pan before I go buy another bronzer or blush. Makeup hoarding is hard to ignore! Eeek :(

Declutter: Try and spend 15 minutes per day to re-organize/declutter and seasonally weed out clothing for donation.

Donate: You've probably noticed a lessoning in giveaways on the blog in the last year. What I've been doing instead is donating products and clothing to local woman's shelters. I'd like to continue that for 2014

Also 2014 will be a busy year for myself personally, so the blog may fall to the wayside

I will try to post when I can, and possibly expand the topics :) Would love to hear what you'd like to see more of! send me an email or comment!

Here's to 2014!
