Girly Bits Cosmetics; Limited Edition November Colour of the Month Duo - Turning A New Leaf & Winter Whiplash

Good morning again!  Can you believe Thanksgiving is TOMORROW!  I am thankful that I don't have to cook anything because my mom likes to do it and when we are with my in-laws we just go out to dinner.  Yes, I am lazy.  Don't get me wrong, I have cooked a turkey before, a ham, a pie, mashed potatoes, all the Thanksgiving things, I just don't want to.  Where do you go to celebrate?  Friends house, family meet up, a swanky restaurant?  

Well, this isn't a post about food.  It's a post about nail polish.  Girly Bits new LE COtM Duo to be exact.  And there are about 10 days left to get these beauties so I suggest you hop to it A-SAP.  November brings us gorgeous, rich colors with just enough pizazz for party worthy nails.  Turning a New Leaf and Winter Whiplash are $16.50 CAD each and are available until 12/1.  So let's check them out!

Alter Ego November Polish Pickup Exclusive: Go To Hel, Hope For Heaven

Good morning!  Did y'all survive Halloween?  I had some seriously tired kids this morning who were super slow to get themselves together.  But we all made it off to school on time and all is well.  I'm resting on the couch - got in a nice 2 mile walk last night hitting up houses from the potluck on the way home.  But seems every little walk is just exhausting to me these days.  So while I detox from the candy intake, I am going to share the last of the November PPU shades I have for you.  This one is from Alter Ego and it's called Go To Hel, Hope For Heaven.  It was inspired by Hel, the Norse Goddess of the Dead.  You'll be able to pick up Go To Hel, Hope for Heaven from 11/2 - 11/5 for $8.50, no cap.  Let's jump in so I can tell you more about this polish!

Dreamland Lacquer November Polish Pickup Exclusive: Queen of the Iceni

Afternoon!  I'm watching more Halloween movies, putting together baby things and eating leftovers for lunch.  I made homemade meatballs and they were really darn good - the kids also ate way more than I was expecting and I only had 2 tiny little meatballs left over.  So I'm back again today with another PPU post!  Are you in the know yet for the November theme?  It's Badass Women and I love where the makers took this!  Real and made up characters alike are getting their due respect.  Dreamland Lacquer was inspired by Boudicca, Celtic Queen of the Iceni.  She's basically a badass Queen that led a rebellion against Rome and their attempted take over of her land.  Artist renditions of her really give her that "I'll kick your ass and take you down" look and it's awesome!  You will be able to purchase Queen of the Iceni from 11/2 - 11/5 for $12, no cap.  Let's jump in, shall we?

Lollipop Posse Lacquer November Polish Pickup Exclusive: My Heart Is Like The Ocean

Evening friends!  I'm relaxing next to my injured child while watching my hubby make a temporary closet for the baby clothes to have a place to live.  If you weren't in the know, we are remodeling the house and went from a 3 bdr to a 1 bdr.  Things are tight, and will be even more so when the baby arrives!  But we are making due!  While I'm over here feeling cramped and out of room (both in home and in belly) I figured I'd drop another polish from the upcoming Polish Pickup for you to enjoy!  As I've mentioned before, the November PPU's theme is Badass Women and Lollipop Posse went with Tori Amos!  Now I don't know much about Tori, but my college roomie and BFF really liked her and I never could get in to her music after 4 years of listening to it (so much lamenting and melancholy tunes - you only changed my mind on The Cure, Elena!).  My Heart is Like the Ocean is specifically inspired by the song Take to the Sky.  Karen chose this song and musician because she was the inspiration for the first ever LPP collection!  $1 of each bottle purchased will be donated to RAINN, who Tori Amos was a spokesperson for.  You can learn more about RAINN here.  My Heart is Like the Ocean will be $12.50, no cap.  You can purchase it from 11/2 - 11/5.  Let's check it out!

KBShimmer November Polish Pickup Exclusive: Some Like It Scot

Morning friends!  Man, I am tired.  Yesterday was a long and exhausting day with an ambulance ride to the ER and 9 stitches in my middle little's leg.  Chunk of glass - 1, Julian - 0.  Definitely hope that's the last time I have to call an ambulance for any of my kids.  I was up all night helping him as adrenaline and meds wore off so as you can imaging, this hugely pregnant mama is wiped out and fighting a headache.  But that will not deter me from starting to share the November PPU shades I have to share with you.  November's theme is Badass Women and it covers real and made up characters.  The first polish I have to share with you is KBShimmer's Some Like It Scot, inspired by Claire Fraser from Outlander.  If you haven't read the books I highly suggest you do, they are a rich blend of history, fantasy and romance.  The show is great too but it does skip parts from the book - might be hard to follow if you haven't already read them.  Always, Claire is this badass time traveler who is a doctor/healer and a woman who can totally take care of herself!  You can pick up Some Like It Scot for $10, available from 11/2 - 11/5.  Let's jump in and check it out!
