Here is the first Tulip to bloom in my backyard this year, whoopie! They are one of my fav flowers.

This week’s poll is dedicated to the person who wrote this insightful comment on my VV 3.0 Survey: “Add more colorful layouts & get rid of those awful surveys. You’re not MBB.” Need I say more?

1. How has your week been so far? Not that great. Can’t really talk about it because it’s work related and I don’t want to get Dooced, but basically everything sucks right now.

2.Do you consider yourself to be technically savvy? Yes. I think in order to keep up with the world in this day and age it’s a necessity; but I also love technology and gadgets!

3. What’s on your nails? Zoya Nidhi

4. Oreo Double Stuff cookies, love ‘em or hate ‘em? I love them. Perhaps a little too much. I could just really eat the inside and toss the cookie part.

5. What is your current favorite lip balm? MAC Lip Conditioner is my fav, I can’t get enough of it. I also like Smith’s Rosebud Salve.

6. Do you have any “spring rituals”? I seem to do some purging of the closets and other things in the spring more frequently. But I like donating things all year around in general.

7. What’s your favorite wild animal? Wolves and Snow Leopards are tied.

8. How many cities have you lived in? Five.

9. If you have a cat, do you collect cat whiskers that fall out? Ok some of you might think I’m crazy, but I have a sneaking suspicion some of you do this also. I happen to have a little container filled with whiskers from every cat I have ever owned! No I don’t pluck them out, I only grab them when I see them fall out. I have so many now that I don’t collect them anymore and don’t really even know whose is whose. Hmmm, I wonder if I can clone them now from their whiskers, lol!

10. What’s your least favorite song? Touch Of Gray or really anything by the Grateful Dead. Ironically instead of making me feel peace, love and happiness they make me stabby.

It occurred to me that maybe I should have posted this one yesterday since “Monday blues” has a good ring to it…ah but who cares, you can have the blues on Tuesday also!

I think a lot of you have been waiting for this one, and I was kinda putting it off actually. I knew this was going to be another one of those categories I would struggle with. I knew I couldn’t not get only 5 either, so I went with 10. I even had to cut some out that I loved as much as some of these!

Unlike a lot of other categories I have done, these really run the gamut in terms of finishes and variance in color.

In no particular order, here are my top 10 favorite blues!

Happy Monday morning!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Mine was ok, although it rained like cats and dogs ALL day long Sunday. I can’t wait for the rainy season to just end already!

On that note, because the weather has been fantastic while I am at work and horrible on weekends, I have not been able to swatch anything lately. So this week I am going to focus on bringing you some more of my “Top 5″ (or 10 as the case may be) posts. I think you like these, so I hope you stick around and check them out!

Today’s top 5 is yellow, and let me tell you I had a hard time with this one! For once it was hard for me to find 5 yellows I could even say I really liked! Normally I have like 20 polishes and can’t narrow them down for these posts, but this was the opposite.

Me and yellow don’t get along all that great since I have a lot of yellow in my skin. The best yellows for me are cool and usually pastel, which is why some of these are very similar.

In no particular order, here are my top 5 fav yellows.

EDIT: Sorry but this survey has now been closed. Thanks to all 300+ people who participated!

Hi!

As I have previously mentioned, I am gearing up for VV 3.0 and I want YOUR input!

It’s very important to me that you guys are happy with the way my site looks and runs, so I have 10 questions to ask you. This won’t take much time and it would be a huge help for me.

I will take all of your comments and suggestions into serious consideration, bearing in mind I also have ideas for the way I want VV to look and feel.

This survey will be open from now until Wednesday,  April 14 at 3:00 pm, PST.

Thanks!
