Manic-cure Monday

7/1/2014

Hello friends!!! I wish you all a happy and joyful July! We're in summer's heart already, although the new month was introduced to us with a rather heavy rain last night... but it's summer anyway. Today is hot and sunny and the day smiles again!
Remember my last month's pc collapse? I had a really hard time watching my old pc giving up on me...
Well, I did my research and ended up to the best find, which for me and for the time is a Macbook Pro. I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase, actually, I'm pretty thrilled! There are huge differences between my ten years old HP windows xp edition pc and this brand new i7, Mac Os X Mavericks piece of technology. Different as day and night! Alleluia!!!

Not to forget, another thing I'm absolutely thrilled about, as well, is my last week's nail polish color, the blue curaçao!!! I strongly believe it's going to be my summer favorite color for nails and not only... After all I'm a huge lover of color blue and all its shades, so that's pretty much sure. And this gorgeous blue is so summery and mediterranean kind of color, it becomes synonymous with vacation! "Who's ready for a cruise?!!!".... or "Vamos a la playa!!!"... that kind of situations......
O.K! You got the point! Summer is here!!! Let's just get a little crazier than usual to get through these long, hot summer days...
Let's have some fun!
See you soon,
Love you all,
xoxo Elena

Manic-cure Monday

6/25/2014

Hello my friends! Delayed, but never forgetting! I hope you are all great and enjoy the long summer days... because nice things don't last forever!

I'm back with a very hot "Monday manic-cure", although it's Wednesday already! Actually this hot red color was on my nails on Monday 9th of June, that's a couple of weeks ago, but, unfortunately, it was impossible to post the previous days.
You see, my old and loved PC would not follow me anymore. I had "blue screens" all the time and I couldn't even watch a youtube video all to its end... soooo sad!!! My about ten years old HP PC uses windows xp and has a really very short memory, so there is not much I can do, but extenuate him a little by uninstalling some "heavy" apps and see if it works that way.... of course then I will only use "him" for limited purposes, but that's ok.

With my pc that sick, posting was a distant..."summer night" dream! So I kept shooting photos, preparing future posts in my head, painting my nails(!!), obviously, and searching for a new "partner", younger and much, much faster...
Don't get me wrong up here! I love my old pc and I believe it's a great piece of technology to last for ten years! We all know how fast technology runs after all. But "he" put his limits. O.K. We move on.

Back to my Monday manic-cure, this is the "London red" color I absolutely adored! So vibrant and cheerful, a little sexy and playful, it's summer after all, it matches perfectly with my still white skin... like "Snow-white" with the... apple... maybe...

Bye-bye PC! Love you!

The only problem with the dark colors, especially the red ones, is I'm not very good at applying them on my nails. I always get smudgy, as you can see at my closer photos...
But that's ok! I 'll learn! And the problem is only a first day problem, because after that all the excess color clears out, by simply washing your hands again and again...
So, only the gorgeousness remains!!

The same week my whole "internet world" was collapsing I decided to treat myself with some shopping therapy....
I was viewing these super cute china at the shop windows since Easter and I knew this was the time for them to be mine!
Since they're a bit pricy, I decided to only buy a few items every time and gradually build my collection... because you definitely can't buy only few of these masterpieces! How beautiful are they??!!!!...

And in case you're wondering how I wrote this post.... yeeeeees!!!! I finally bought a new laptop!!! It's super fast and very elegant and has many, many other possibilities. So, from now on, no more excuses, I guess!
I'm leaving you with the promise to post this week's Monday manic-cure, soon enough, since that wonderful London red was a past Monday's manic-cure, but definitely ... a... cure!!

Love you all,
see you soon,
xoxo, Elena

Something terrible has happened to my blog lately and I just can't figure what....
That's the reason I haven't been posting for a long, loooooooong time now, plus the fact it's summer, it's hot (very hot, actually) the last few days and the only thing in my mind is HOLIDAYS!!! I so much need to go away from anything and anyone I deal with the entire year.... and feel free and happy, wearing my swimsuit all day, walking at the beach, drinking mohitos and enjoying delicious summer dishes (someone else... really talented is cooking for me!!!...), listening great music at the beach bars at nights staring the moon and the stars holding hands with my loved one, watching some really good summer movies.... and the list goes on... and on...O.K., you got the the point: I need some vacation!!
I'm so, sooo sorry I can't upload any photos, I think my little blog needs some holidays, too! Anyway, you can always enjoy my pinterest photos (thank God nothing strange has happened there, although I couldn't pin anything for an entire weekend, but I think that was a general problem, not only mine...) and I also have a problem with my instagram, because.... I have taken so many photos with my phone, it doesn't accept more... bad phony...
Well, what do you think, do I need any holidays or not?
See you, soon I hope...
