The Best Nail Polishes for Spring!

-

Lavender

Just about every polish company has a lavender version for spring, but we're especially loving China Glaze's creamy formula.
China Glaze "Tart-y For The Party," $9, available March 2013 at salons nationwide


Slate Sparkle

This dark gray sparkle goes on super-opaque, and has a slightly holographic effect that makes a great accent nail color.
Impala "Na Mira 3D," $6, muldialimpala.com


Pearl Nude

Pale nails were huge on the runways last NYFW, but we need a polish with a little more pizazz for our manis! This light nude adds a lovely wash of sheer shimmer to our tips.
Khroma Beauty "Buff," $8, available March 2013 at Sears stores nationwide


Lime Green

We usually save the boldest brights for summertime, but this lime green is too good to hold off using! Pair it with this season's pale mint green for a cool, colorblocked manicure.
L'Oreal Paris "New Money," $6, lorealparisusa.com



Feather Texture

In keeping with the apparent avian theme for nails this season, Nails Inc. has released a feather effect polish! It's another cool, matte take on traditional glitter, and we love all of the bright colors in the line.
Nails Inc Feather Effect "Brighton," $9.50, Sephora stores


Dusty Aqua

This pale blue reminds us of delicate designs on a china tea set!
OPI "Can't Find My Czechbook," $9, ULTA Stores


Periwinkle

Fun fact: periwinkle is a universally flattering color, so it's a perfect polish shade for every skintone!
Salon Perfect "Azure," $4, Walmart stores


Light Mint

Shades of green are always a must-have for spring, and this year it's all about a pale mint hue. It's such a calming color!
Spa Ritual "Introspective," $10, sephora.com


Pale Purple

Not quite lilac, but not exactly rose, we love this pink-purple shade! It has a mod, 1950s feel that's totally chic.
Victoria's Secret "Perfect," $10, Victoria's Secret stores

Movie Review: Joan of Arc

-
Image
The 1948 version of Joan of Arc with Ingrid Bergman is an excellent movie, and is also pretty family-friendly. I admire Ingrid Bergman's great acting abilities. She can cry on cue, and shows great emotion at every moment she is focused on. Joan is a fourteen year old girl who is hearing voices from Heaven. She is supposed to lead God's Army against Orleans and crown the Dauphin, Charles VII, as King of France. She does succeed in conquering Orleans. When her army prepares to march against Paris, King Charles sells his country to England. Unfortunately, Joan is then arrested, sold, and subjected to horrible trials that are political, though she is accused of being a heretic and a witch. She was only doing the will of God. There were a couple of faults in this movie. For example, Joan's hair should have grown if she was really on trial for five months. Also, some of the Latin words during the coronation ceremony were mispronounced. The film elements were appropriately si...

Ash Wednesday

Try to understand another's point of view. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in ourselves that we do not even regard the other person's opinions. Effective practice of this technique is called dual perspective (thank you, Interpersonal Communication class!) This means that you fully respect both yours and the other individual's unique viewpoint. In doing so, you can both practice humility and develop your listening skills simultaneously! Saint of the Day Wednesday, February 13, 2013 St. Giles Mary of St. Joseph (1729-1812) In the same year that a power-hungry Napoleon Bonaparte led his army into Russia, Giles Mary of St. Joseph ended a life of humble service to his Franciscan community and to the citizens of Naples. Francesco was born in Taranto to very poor parents. His father’s death left the 18-year-old Francesco to care for the family. Having secured their future, he entered the Friars Minor at Galaton...

Stress: It's Where I'm At

-
Image
J.M.J. Wow...long time no talk. I've been busy. More accurately, I just haven't made time to write. I think that I'm too busy but the truth is, I didn't feel like writing. I've been so stressed out! I've been worrying about everything. I started taking online classes this semester and let me tell you, the experience hasn't been good. I'm surviving the academic load but I'm thinking that this career idea isn't the one for me. I thought I wanted to be a counseling psychologist but all the stress and anxiety that these courses are bringing me is telling me something else. All of this stress has been leading to a lack of sleep. I don't have to tell you that this makes life a lot harder than normal. Add to that work, my social life, and school, and I'm one weighed down individual. Woe is me, right? I've been praying, trying to ask God why I'm having all these issues. I'd never choose to go through this, but I...
