Nails and sleep

Today I removed my gold polish, so tomorrow I’ll redo my nails. Any wishes on a mani you’d like to see?
I’d like to do something with turquoise. But have no ideas other than that. Maybe turquoise with a bird on or something. Any ideas?

Today when I got home there was a package lying on top of my laptop. It contained this:

A sleeping mask from Daydream.
I actually didn’t think anyone would listen to my plea the other day, but a friend of mine did. So I hope that tonight I’ll be able to sleep properly.

Some persons I’ve talked to about this mask have asked me what’s so special with the daydream masks and what’s separating them from the cheaper sleeping masks that are availible in the town where I live.Since I have one of these cheaper masks I’ve made a comparison picture.

Firstly the fabric is different, the daydream mask is thicker and firmer and the material is soft towards the eyes instead of silky.
The Daydream mask is smaller and fits better over the eyes., the other mask goes a bit over half my face.
The Daydream mask have two adjustable straps, the other mask has one non-adjustable strap that lost it’s elasticity after about 4 uses
The Daydream mask has foam rubber by the nose to block light from entering.

The last one is mainly the one that made me hate my earlier mask, it let in to much light at the nose part.

Since I got the mask today I obviously haven’t tried it yet, I’ve tried it on but haven’t slept with it yet. I hope it lives up to my expectations. I’ll update this post tomorrow after trying it one night.

*Edit*
After sleeping with the mask I can only say that I’ve slept better than I’ve done in a couple of weeks. So I love it!

Sleeping like a baby.

That can sum up my last weeks.
And to remove confusion, I’m sleeping really bad.
I know the expression “Sleeping like a baby” usually indicates that you’ve been sleeping good, but come on! Babys wake up all the time, so it should mean that you sleep bad.

The last few weeks I’ve been having a really hard time sleeping, I wake up several times during the night, usually because it’s to light in the room. My sleeping mask lets in light on the sides of the nose, so it’s pretty much useless. I need a better sleeping mask but can’t currently afford one. So if anyone is feeling like a happy samaritan, or feels like giving me a late christmas gift you’ll earn a permanent place in my heart. (*wink* *wink*)

 

But now to the the real post.

I’ve gotten in to a class to become a receptionist. (at least that’s what I think I’ll choose, I have a few choices)
The class is 8:30-16:00 monday-friday and I’ve finished the first week. So far it feels good but I’ve been exausted when I’ve gotten home. Hence the bad blogging – please ignore the fact that the class doeasn’t cover why I was absent on the blog the entire month of January.

I’ll try updating more from now on, I’m just dry on ideas ans I have about 4 hours total every day where I don’t have any plans, and those are not consecutive usually its two before dinner and 2 after dinner. So that’s all the time I have for, going home,, grocery shopping, cleaning, dishes, laundry, the gym, reading, blogging, spending time with friends, showering…
I think you get the point.
But I like having something to do during the days, I just hope it actually leads to work. Right now I just feel like a cold beer with some friends though, or just a cold beer at home, or just a beer.

This week I’ll try to show off some nice makeup looks. Are there any color in particular you’d like to see? I’ll also try to do at least one nail post.
Maybe a few product reviews if I can decide on which products. I’ll definetly do an eye post soon, no sleep make my eyes sad.

I’m also waiting to hear from two of my friends. I gave them some products for christmas and asked them to give me a review on them for the blog. They might have forgotten, but we’ll see.
