Argo by China Glaze

Ignore my terrible nail painting job. I'm working on it. 

So I recently picked up this nail polish at a salon in the mall when I was out running errands. I wasn't originally looking for a shade like this; but this one caught my eye and I really wanted to try it out, so, obviously, I bought it. It reminded me of that one polish from Butter London that everyone was obsessing over last winter- whose name escapes me, but anyway. 

Being used to Revlon and Essie, I was very impressed by how this Chine Glaze polish went on. Here I have two coats; though I could've got by with one, and a topcoat. I love the brush, its very thick and wide and perfect for quick and accurate application. The formula of this polish was also very nice; it wasn't too viscous, but it also wasn't super thin. It was perfect for smooth application. 

All in all, I'd give this product 5/5 stars. Also, the colour is wonderful for the fall!

One Direction

So, as previously stated many a time on this blog, I recently went to see One Direction in concert. It was a pretty good time.

The show started (after much waiting through commercials played on the jumbo-tron) with Five Seconds of Summer, a new boy band from Australia. They have a very Jonas Brothers circa A Little Bit Longer sound about them. They were decent enough, but honestly, I have enough bands to fan girl over, so I'm not in the market to pick up another one. But I appreciated them none the less.

Finally, after more and more waiting, the main attraction hit the stage and AHHH HARRY WAS SO CUTE and AAHH LOOK AT NIALL DID YOU SEE THAT but mostly just AHHHHH.

That concert was so unbelievably loud. I have been to many a boy band concert but I don't think I have ever attended one so loud. I mean, usually fans at least make an effort to listen instead of scream the entire time, but, whatever. It was a good show.

One of the most impressive parts of the concert was the set. They had these amazingly huge screen backdrops to the stage which played either live clips of the boys, or really nice typography of lyrics, or animated backgrounds. For example, the London sky line, or the boys as cartoon super heroes! It was really cool.

Life is Busy

Real life is hard. Mostly because it's busy.

These past few weeks I haven't been able to blog at all, because I've been overwhelmed with work and church commitments, not to mention my bustling social life (haha) and I just, I've let you all down, I know. 

At the beginning of this month, I promised that I would blog every single day. Quickly that degraded to only week days, and then soon, never at all. I've done quite a few things since I've seen you last, such as see One Direction in concert, see the Jonas Brothers in concert and buy a few new nail polishes. Yes, those are the things of note that I've managed to do. Everything else has been either work, church or boyfriend related. Well, I did try roller derby, that's something. But anyway, the point is, I have been quite busy. 

I also have not been able to fulfill my Youtube duties that I assigned myself, missing two History Minute Mondays and one Fashion Friday. I plan to resume my Friday videos this week and hopefully get a Monday filmed for next week, the week I am away on vacation. Yeah, I know right? One more thing that gets in the way of getting things done. I think I might post a couple features on things that I've done in the past few days just to keep a nice record of my summer, but we'll see. I have a lot of other online catching up to do this evening. 

Tomorrow, after working in the morning, I'm spending the day with Dan, which I am quite excited about. Maybe I'll have something to say about that later. 

Anyway, I think that's all for now. Hopefully I will get back to you soon and hopefully you will forgive me for neglecting to fulfill my online duties as Youtuber and blogger.

Until then,

Katie

Camping

I believe the verdict is in. I am terrible at blogging everyday. In my defence, I have been quite busy. For example, this past weekend, I went camping.

So on Friday evening myself, my boyfriend and our five friends stuffed ourselves into a van and headed west, to the beach. We camped at Point Farms provincial park, on Lake Huron, and it was a grand old time.
