Nicole Carina

My newest obsession is eye makeup, I’ve always loved it but I’ve never been brave enough to branch out and try the more exciting colors and techniques. Last night I stayed up way too late checking out eyeshadow tutorials on youtube. I decided to try and copy and silver, pink, and glittery black look I found.

I had to tone it down a bit since I’m working today but I think its a good way to start branching out. The pink stands out a bit more in person, I used my blackberry to take these pics. I’m hoping to try some blues and greens soon, but I just want to make sure I can apply them correctly.

My friend Erin gave me the cutest little vinyl figure yesterday, she’s a Tokidoki cat named Carina (which is also my middle name). I love how she’s got a little fish on her ear like how Hello Kitty has her bows. She fits right in beside my name on my desk. So cute, thanks Erin!

After much deliberation and fighting with codes and plugins I’ve finally made the switch to Wordpress. My old Vox Account just wasn’t cutting it anymore.  I’d much rather have everything here, on NicoleCarina.com and I’d like people who don’t have a vox to be able to comment on my posts.

So with the new year I decided to make the switch, I really feel like 2010 is going to be a great new start for me.  The gears have started turning, and I’m turning right along with them.

2009 was an interesting year for me, I had quite a few ups and downs.  Some people came into my life, and others went out. I gained experience.

I lived and I learned and I loved and I lost.

And I’m ready to do it all over again. Hello 2010, I can’t wait to see where you take me.  :)
