Sometimes Life is Strange and Bizarre

I can't believe I haven't posted in 10 days! But let me just say life as a Bio major has gotten hectic!!! Organic Chemistry is the bane of my existence these days. I love medicine and I miss being a Student Athletic Trainer like I was in high school...but this whole undergraduate study program is so boring to me!! I could care less what a chain of 11 carbons is called. Anyway on to the main subject of this blog.

Earlier today I found myself sitting in my History class. Now, history really isn't my subject I'm terrible with names and dates. But today, my professor was lecturing on the Enlightenment period. Now, a little background, I am a "cradle Catholic." However my entire life I have struggled with the whole blind faith thing. And I think the new testament of the Bible is a lot of exaggeration. But I digress. My professor today introduced this term I had never heard: Deism. This religion that basically thinks that God is there, but he doesn't intervene, and he gave humans the abilities to come up with morals and such by using the God given skill of logic and reason. This idea that God created the universe and then let it run itself makes so much sense to me!

Ever since I was a young child (like 4 years old) I have had this image of what I thought God's place in the universe is and I have no idea where I got it from, but man it's scarily similar to this Diest thought. To think that thoughts I have had practically my whole life are actually those of a legit religious view is pretty impressive to me. I always felt ashamed in a way to explain these thoughts to anyone because they are dramatically different than those of Catholic thought. I also felt that I was a terrible person for not being able to have faith in anything. Maybe that still makes me the biggest skeptic in the world. But I am going to research the history of Deism more and learn some more of the core beliefs and then we will see how this revelation is going to be incorporated into my life. Maybe at 19 1/2 I have finally found something that makes sense spiritually and maybe not. We'll see.

Peace and happy thoughts.

Well if college doesn't work out...

So I have ALWAYS loved nail polish and nail art. Lately I've been working on new designs to try out and some to use for tutorials on the youtube channel I'm starting. And after my design turned out superbly last night...I've decided if college doesn't work out...I'll get into the nail industry! lol. Anyway here are some pics of my awesome blue and yellow cheetah print nails:

Ever since I was born I've had ridiculously tiny short nails...but that doesn't mean they have to be boring! =]

I'm still working on perfecting the lighting and my new camera...but hopefully you get the idea!

Peace, love, and pretty nails <3

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Finally!!!!!!

I have been waiting SO long for Sephora to get the Naked Palette back in stock...so when I received the back in stock email a week or so ago I was ecstatic!!! Immediately I got online and ordered myself one.

   

Today, I wandered into the mail room to check my box, and there was a package slip. I didn't expect it to come until Monday so as you can imagine I was initially quite curious. I finally picked up my package and opened it back in my room and ohmigosh it is even more spectacular than I imagined! This palette is gorgeous!!!! Seriously it is so perfect for all styles and colors of "everyday" or neutral eye shadow looks! I have a feeling this will be my favorite palette of 2011 and January isn't even over yet. lol. I'm off to experiment with all the colors!

Neutral eyes and natural beauty...
