hey there teedle teedle!

it's been so long! i feel bad that this is the last thing i've updated. i finally finished answering questions on YT, FB, Twitter, Instagram... anywhere else? i can't remember lol. so for those that only check here and have a lot of Qs about how life has been, i do have several vids up on my vlog channel, PlasmaSpeedos talking about boot camp and A school. i plan to do a lot more.
i did get my hands on the third bundle monster set, might buy 5 or so polishes while i'm here just so i can do a teensy bit of nail art here and there.. get my fix when i'm on liberty. i'm looking to get a pretty nude .. perhaps a coral-ish nude (that might be pushing it) to wear in uniform. it depends on which MTI sees you, i've seen some females here walk around with some nasty, pink, frosted, chipped-off nails and no one has said anything to them. *shrugs* i'd say about 50% of these females have the basic french-tip acrylics too (which seems to be widely accepted in the navy.. maybe not for certain jobs.. but they are considered ''natural'' so no one says anything. tho i have grown quite fond of the natural nail.. acrylics look a bit tacky to me now. i can't judge tho, i went hard on the acrylics for 10 years hehehe so i don't hate.
how is everyone's fourth of july going? i'm on watch... well.. i mean i was hahaha. it's my ''duty day'' so i have to stand watch and muster and clean all day, can't go anywhere so i'll be missing the firework shows. it's all good, i feel honored to stand watch on this particular day!
so seeing as how i've got the new bundle monster set i plan on uploading pics of the plates.... heck i should try that today or tomorrow.
things are busy, i'm trying to transition into life after boot camp, still have a ton of stuff to handle tho regarding my schooling and status and career before i enter the fleet- but i'm super excited to do so. i haven't had a taste of the ''real navy'' just yet.. just prepping for it. forgive my absence as i don't make this a top priority at the moment, tho i hope to be in a balanced schedule soon where i'll be able to manage my time more appropriately and hang out here ;)
just wanted to touch base.. i see a few questions on some previous blog posts and i will get to those questions soon... not a priority tho because most of what anyone asked has already been mentioned by me in a video lol. i don't expect everyone to view all my vids tho, so i'll answer the Qs at a leisurely pace. i figure if the question askers want to know badly enough they can search my vids themselves. hee hee hee
ok, talk to you soon! hope to post some more pics.. here. lots of pics up on FB tho; if you aren't my friend or don't have a FB i will post some pics here soon
take care, talk to you soon!

  1. Andrea, I'm so excited for you! Let us know when you join the fleet.

    What do they let you take with you as far as beauty products? Skin care, I'm sure, but what about makeup and, say, a nude polish? You'd have to pick a really good palette to compress everything.

    Down to the sea in ships!

  4. You're videos have on basic training have been helping me so much! It's so nice to hear perceptive of basic from a female. My older brother is a petty officer but isn't totally comfortable giving me advice because I'm not a male lol!
    Are you ever planning on bringing some of your polish collection with you when you get stationed somewhere? That's my only concern about when I leave is what I can do with my helmer filled with 300+ bottles.

  6. noticed in one of your videos that you asked if any other white polishes work great with konad, and i've been trying to tell you! I use Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" it works perfectly! the polish is only about $2 and it's the only white I can get to work! it's been bothering me that i havent told you yet!

    byee!

    1. i haven't used the 3rd bm yet, i got them tho. looking at the images i prefer the red angel ones. but it is all dependent on your personal taste. you may like the images on the BM more, you can look at them online! so which is better is completely up to you

  11. Hi Andrea!! I just watched on of your nail tutorials on YouTube and you were wearing a ring on your thumb....it looked like wings. I was wondering where you got it? It's gorgeous!! You had French tips in China Glaze's For Audrey. I know the vid was posted 3 years ago but I was hoping you would remember it. BTW, I love your videos....you are so cute!

  12. Watched your videos on YouTube. Enjoyed every aspect of your journey in the Navy. You are smart as a whip, and you'll go as far in the Navy as you want to. I'm glad you found your calling in life...a lot of people don't.
