Allow Me to Re-Introduce Myself...

H to the izO  V tothe izA

 lol

no I'm just kiddin, 

but who doesn't love Jay Z?! =)



HEY Y'ALL! ... I see a lot of new faces to my blog & I can't tell you how effin glad I am to have you here with me!!!! I've only been blogging for about 2 months, I read your blogs when I get a chance (mostly when i am at work) and can honestly say I feel like I'm getting closer to you every day & I love that! 



Let me take a minute to re-Introduce myself. (Speaking of ....I don't really think I have given a proper introduction! ) in the words of my son "OH WELL!" Here it is! 



My name is Christin (chris- teen) a nickname given to me was teen. since i was a young brat gettin detention in middle school my stepfather & friends, gave me this name.. i just turned 25. A leo (August 13th)... I was born in Germany, but no I don't speak German.. I only know the bad words...lol. I'm an army brat, still livin with my parents in Virginia! My Son is 3 years old, Josiah. He is VERY rambunctious, & I am constantly having to chase after him. Most of the time with my camera (being my GalaxyS3) in-hand trying to get pictures every chance i get. Trying being the key word. i do not claim to be a photographer, although when i was younger i always wanted to be one (and many more things)



I am a mother, daughter, sister, a girlfriend who is very grateful for everyone that I have in my life! I sometimes say bad words..i just recently started cussing in front of my mom! lol I am shy,  and I'm blunt(contradicting huh), shy until you get to know me, then I can be loud and maybe at times annoying because most of the time i tell you like it is!!! I repeat myself a lot. i love giving.... I AM WAY TOO NICE. Easily annoyed, but VERY nice. for the most part lol



I don't always put a period at the end of my sentences....or dot my i's. Grammar/English has never been my best subject! I probably capitalize my words or use these ( ) too much. most of the time, im just rambling like i am now and not even remember where i started my conversation...maybe thats the true blond coming out of me...idk who cares..lol


I'm addicted to nail polish, Pepsi max, social media, money, & a lot of other random things! I am not in school, yet. I work full time at a hotel, front desk...which will hopefully change to the office soon. i am an impulsive shopper... My son is my world and I love him so much!!





I just started blogging about a month ago. I don't know yet if I am even good at this whole blogging thing but hopefully by reading so many great ones, I can learn to be a better writer of my thoughts...cuz lets face it when these thoughts are in my head,its like a ruff draft--and tryin to type them is a lot harder then one might think. lol



 If you haven't noticed yet my blog is about any and everything, whatever I fancy that day.. I go through my emails, find great deals for you and me. I show you my manicures (whenever I feel like paintin em). I also show you whats goin on in my crazy house (especially with a 3 year old) can be pretty damn wild.



What brought me to the blog world, you ask? or maybe you didn't, but i'll tell you anyways... INSTAGRAM... I am very close to being addicted to it. I have almost 2,000 followers & I do random nail art contests and giveaways. I am just that nice. I was going to do a blog on just my manicures, until I found the perfect name and slogan for it.. and i dont really do nail art, just painting lol I absolutely love it...don't you?  I hope to continue meeting great people, maybe even meet up with some of you lovely ladies one day.

The Facts of Me..{& Some Deals}

It's Friday, I'm at work over night shift as usual so I'm writing this up at 2, 3 ,4 in the morning to please excuse if anything is written wrong! lol I'm still new to this whole blog thing, so I'm still trying to get organized in my posts because sometimes when I look at them over and over again they look very sloppy and unorganized...which is definitely  something I've been trying to get better at ,well pretty much for my whole life lol. so please bare with me!!!

anyways,

Today I am linking up with Whitney over @ iworeyogapants.com, 

for her one time only link up called "The Facts of Me".. 

I'm really bad at making up random facts in short notice 

so here goes nothing...lol

• I am a recovering nail bitter -- I put acrylic overlay on my nails to stop this habit! & I am so glad i did! 


• I have an addiction for food -- Among other things I really really really love food. I will eat just about anything and sometimes over eat! 


• My type of music would be R&B, hip hop, and rap music -- Now I don't discriminate when it comes to country, rock, or pop. I just prefer my picks. =)


• I repeat myself a lot -- for some it can get annoying and I do want to apologize in advance lol


• I have an addiction for nail polish -- I am border line nail polish hoarder! 


• When i was younger I hated taking showers -- LOL! I can't believe I'm telling yall this.. but when I was younger I use to fake like i was in the shower by running it and sitting on the toilet.. eww! now I take two showers a day!!! LOL 


• I'm not your typical blogger -- or maybe I am?! idk.... I'm not 21 married with kids (the happy family blogger), I'm not a SAHM (stay at home mom), I'm not a college student, I'm just a 25 year old mother of one, with a  boyfriend, living with my parents, and has a full time job that loves to meet new people and write what I'm feeling here and there! 


• I am addicted to Pepsi Max -- or diet coke, regular coke just taste so nasty to me now.. I can't stand it. I can drink regular Pepsi & Dr. Pepper. I need to drink more water!


• My favorite TV shows at this point and time are Bad Girls Club, Revenge, Law & Order; SVU, CSI; Miami, Catfish, Buckwild, and the Carrie Diaries -- Yes I watched the first show, and now I'm hooked! THANK GOODNESS for DVR!


• People in the real world are so annoying! I love my bloggy friends hahahah


• I have a shopping problem -- I tend to buy something that I think I will wear, & never wear it. I believe it's called compulsive buying!! yep that's me!


• I love vegetables! So I grow my own!! -- I have actually been growing my own garden for the past two years and I plan on doing it again this year, just maybe with not so much stuff so I can actually get vegetables hahahaha! 


• I think I have ADD -- I can never keep my mind in one place, It's like everything is all jumbled up in my head!  same goes with my body, I get bored easily! I can't seem to keep my legs & feet still, I  bounce them when I'm sitting down like I'm nervous all the time.


• I like to start projects & then I either get lazy (& and finish them) or most of the time forget to finish them! -- which takes me to my next fact ,


• I have a really bad memory -- you would seriously think I did/ or do drugs.. I'm so serious but I never/ and don't do drugs.. unless the Fake sugar that they put in my diet drinks are killing my brain cells foreal.... idk maybe?


• I really am too nice! -- when I want to be!


• I am a cheap-skate -- if that is how you even spell it! lol I am really weird when it comes to this! & I think I get it from my momma. But I will go really really cheap with certain things and then again I will also splurge on other things that I might not need to be spending a lot of money on.. it's like I'm a picky cheap-skate.... 

well I can't come up with any more but you should link up! 

I'd love to see everyone's facts!  

& If your new to my blog -- welcome!

 Please let me know by leaving me a comment &
