Sephora is selling nail polish sets with microbeads for $25 that gives you a "fish roe" look on your nails.  I've been admiring them since I first saw them but wasn't ready to spend the big bucks since there were mixed reviews about the beads falling off pretty quickly.  Well, I stumbled upon a great tutorial on how to make your own for way less, and you can customize the colors.  You just need Recollections microbeads found at any Michael's craft store and sells for only $3.99 a color - yay!  Oh, and you'll need nail polish of course.  To read the tutorial, visit The PolishAholic here.

Chocolatemint Water

I was at the grocery store when I saw Metromint Chocolatemint Water .  I was like, What?  That will either be super good or super nasty.  Being the taste daredevil that I am when it comes to anything chocolatey, I picked up a bottle - and I'm so glad that I did!  It's water, so it's flat not sparkling, and the chocolate mint taste reminded me of a York peppermint patty or an Andes mint, but without any sweetness.  I really enjoyed it!  Now, I'm not sure i this will help with sweet cravings but it was definitely a new drink experience.  No calories, no artificial sweetners and no preservatives. Simply all natural chocolate mint water - just the way nature intended (ha!).  Pick it up at your local grocery store or a 12-pack for $20.91 at Amazon.  Other flavors available, too (I'm intrigued by the peppermint!)
