*sad face*

Hello lovely readers,

I'm sad to inform you that I have to take a break from doing manis on myself...

After getting my refills done at ProfessioNAIL, my nails encountered a series of unfortunate events.

Not exactly sure what happened, or what caused it...

but long story short...I got blisters in my hyponychium (skin under nails) and rashes on my cuticles.

I went to see a doctor and he didn't think it was a serious enough infection...YET.

SO

I'll be taking a break....and maybe take off these "gel" nails

<insert ugly crying face here>

I have one more mani cued up...then I think I'll post the work I've done on people at The Rawr Shop

If I get any customers....

Please still love me...

Hello lovers!

I originally had planned on doing a mani on Sunday so I could blog about it today...

But then THIS happened...

My left thumb's been hurting for the past 3 weeks from crossfit.

I think it's from the medicine balls we've been throwing at the wall...I might have caught it the wrong way

And being a lefty, I use that hand for EVERYTHING!

It was really bothering me last week so I decided to go see a Chinese Massage Therapist

So that's what it looked like when I got home on Saturday.

A drumstick. Chicken tenders. Chicken McNuggets...okay I'll stop.

Needless to say it was painful, and swollen from all the massaging...

I woke up Sunday morning to THIS:

You guys...I have sausage hand....sausage fingers, and sausage patty....

I couldn't touch my thumb to my pinky....and I officially lost sight of my knuckles.
It was THAT swollen...

So I'm sorry friends, I won't be able to paint my nails for a while...

LOL

Sausage hand, signing out.

Leopard "RAWR" Nails

Hello lovers!!

Today I have for you my RAWR nails.

I've been working on the leopard print drawing for a while now....and I think I finally figured it out.

USE. DOTTING. TOOLS.

Sally Hansen's GRAPE GOIN' + Crossfit Update

Hi Guys!!

Today we have Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri in Grape Goin' up for swatch.

My CrossFit Assessment Experience...on my nails

I know you're waiting anxiously for my post about yesterday's CrossFit experience...

Ready for the ultimate whinage?

MY ARMS HURRRRRRRRRT!!!! >.< 

So I was really nervous going into this, considering the fact that I can't remember the last time I worked out.

I did yoga...but I knew that it's nothing compared to what I was about to endure.

What is CrossFit? 

It is a strength and conditioning brand. 

CrossFit combines weightlifting, sprinting, and gymnastics (Source: web)

I only did the assessment yesterday. Which means...it wasn't even the full workout.

This was my face, THE WHOLE TIME

The coach was super nice, and encouraging...but I was secretly cursing his name in my head

...over and over and over again...

This was the workout he put me through:

500m row

40 squats

30 sit ups

20 tucked elbow push ups

10 PULL UPS AKA death

The rowing, squats and sit ups were okay....I got tired pretty quickly....

The push ups.

He made me tuck my elbows in...and I had to touch my chest to the ground for it to count as 1

There was a point where my chest touched the ground and I didn't get back up. The floor never felt so great.

Then came the pull ups.

Which inspired today's mani...and in case it wasn't clear enough...

I had trouble REACHING the monkey bars standing on the blocks in the first place.

THEN I HAD TO PULL MYSELF UP?! With the assistant band of course.

He didn't count it if my chin wasn't above the bars. *ugly cry*

Coach: That's it! You're done! Don't you feel great?

Me: Oh, thanks! I think I'm going to go to my car and cry now.

He laughed....but I wasn't joking

I couldn't feel my arms. I had trouble reaching for the seatbelt. I couldn't get changed...

Apparently, what I did was just the warm up. People who go to crossfit regularly do them in 7 minutes...

I did them in 14....HAHA FAIL!

In case you're wondering....I did the mani with these.

(Sidenote: heh Magic Nail....Just one. lol and see CAT in the back?)

But yes, I loved my ugly face so much, I had a little fun with it.

hahaha, I could do this all day!

The verdict?

I'm going back....on Monday.....haha, YAY CROSSFIT!!!

Master Cleanse- Day 3

I bet you, some guy just stood on his ass one day and said "Hmm....What can I do to make people's lives miserable? OH I KNOW! I'll invent this thing called the Master Cleanse"

Get ready ladies, and gents...or FRANS...considering you're the only subscriber...lol BUT YES, GET READY, because I have gone absolutely mad......

Yesterday was day 3, which makes today day 4 (who am I? Rebecca Black? Fun, Fun, Fun...) Let me tell you...it was TOUGH....for some reason, I find evenings the toughest to get through. Probably because I'm just sitting there watching TV. Thank goodness I live on my own, so I don't have to watch people eat.

I had ZERO energy, I couldn't stand straight, and by 630 pm, I was ready to call it quits. I guess it doesn't help being on Twitter either, because comes dinner time, everybody and their mamas are postings pics of their delicious dinner. And then I involved myself into a thread about dumplings, and other dim sum items...what? why did I do that? Because I am Winnie....I am SMRT. My coworker was actually concerned about this crazy cleanse I'm on...because according to her, I was bumping into things everywhere. HAHA Mind you I AM quite the clumsy one.


I only have enough ingredients to make one more jug of this drink...which will last me through to around lunch time today...what do I do????!!!!!!


You know what'd be nice right now? A burger, some nachos, and chicken strips....lots of chicken strips...

Master Cleanse-Day 2

Well I cheated.

Last night I was with FRANS at Sui Sha Ya (sushi) for dinner, and the thought of watching her eat makes me want to jump off a building. and since I'm a whimp, and extremely hungry....I caved. HOWEVER! I stuck with the cleanse during the day...so here is my report:

Day 2 was probably harder than the first day. Why is that?

I thought this was supposed to get better day by day? My head was pounding all day, I was crabby, even the thought of steamed veggies made me salivate. Close to around 5pm, I walked into my work washroom, and there it was...the skittle smelling air refreshner...Have you ever seen an ugly crying face? I have...of myself....in the mirror.

I managed to drink 64 oz. of "THE DRINK", plus a ton of water....but man on man....when sushi time came around, I was jumping up and down for joy (on the inside, of course) There were rainbows and unicorns, and unknown colourful objects bouncing up down left and right.

So now I'm on Day 3, still not thrilled, but definitely not as crabby as yesterday...I think maybe the sushi (or food intake in general) has something to do with it...

CARRY ON!

Master Cleanse- Day 1

Hello lovers and friends...
I started this cleanse that was made famous by the beautiful Beyonce...called the Master Cleanse. It consists of me not eating anything all day except for this drink mixture. The "beverage" consists of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayanne pepper...i thought to myself...how bad can it be? I get to sip on syrup all day!

Get ready to hear me whine.

I. AM. HUNGRY.

The night before I was in a panic, simply for the fact that I cannot imagine myself without food. But if Beyonce can do it...I can too...right? Wrong. I was feeling alright until about lunch time, when everyone else in the office is heating up their lunches. I guess it doesn't help that the sushi restaurant downstairs starts deep frying their tempuras around that time too...and the delightful...err I mean....horrible smell of grease travels upwards into MY office....My head is pounding, I'm feeling gross, my stomach is growling....and I'm not sure how anyone could do this without encountering this near death experience.

Thank goodness Alex O'loughlin (my husband) came on TV last night...I was thoroughly distracted by his HAWT BAWD.

Check out my tweets from last night...

• ok...now the hunger has kicked in....................HUNGER!!!!!! #MasterCleanse
• I wish my voice could be like warm butter on....mashed potatoes
• My head hurts.... #MasterCleanse
• I have a date tonight.....with my husband http://yfrog.com/kkumjwj
• Remind me again, please...why am i doing the master cleanse? I'm too hungry to remember

  

Anyhow...regardless of my whinnage, I made it.....through the first day. Today marks the second day of HELL.

BUH-RING ET!
