Beauty Tip: Mascara
Are Mascara specks messing up your morning makeup? Try applying your mascara to your lower lashes first. Then apply your top lash mascara. It's usually looking up with wet mascara to apply your lower lash mascara that makes the mess! via

Beauty Tip: Hydrating Your Skin
Ever notice a mans neck as they get older? They don't age the same as a womans. Know why? A big reason is because men shave! Shaving is like exfoliating! Woman don't start shaving... just make sure at least twice a week you are exfoliating and scrubing your face, neck and body with a facial scrub and body scrub. Be careful not to scrub too hard. You'll be amazed also at how much smoother your foundation will appear and also how much better your creams and serums will soak into your skin! via

Puttin A Ring On It
I love many things about S. Many. One thing I love the most about him is that marriage doesn't freak him out or scare him. See?
Beautiful Nail: Just One
First of all, if you didn't get my reference to comedian Anjelah Johnson, you're missing out. Check out this video.
So last night I went to get a mani/pedi. I wanted all my nails painted with Essie's Sand Tropez.
On the left hand, ring finger I wanted a red heart in OPI's Vodka and Caviar.
Sounds easy, right?? Well, apparently not. I had to wait a little while for the guy to come paint the heart on. No big deal. So he gets there, and paints a heart. This is what I had in mind..
What he did looked like this..
I'm sorry but is that a strawberry?! WTF! Ugh, of course when he asked if I liked it I said yes. I felt bad for him. Plus I didn't feel like having him take ALL the polish off that nail and repainting 2 coats, then attempt to screw up another heart. He obviously didn't know how to draw. So I went home. I repainted that nail myself.
It's not as cute as I wanted, but you can at least tell it's a heart!

All About Me
Happy Ground Hogs Day!!
Since my blog is new, I thought what better way to get to know me than by reading a little about me?
1. I'm obsessed with shoes. {hello Captain Obvious - my blog name}
2. I've been every shade of hair color, and blondes totally have more fun. Hands down.
3. I didn't make any serious New Year's Resolutions this year. I have daily goals {like be a better person} that I try to accomplish day to day.
4. I LOVE weddings and everything wedding related. Especially cake. I mean, who doesn't love cake? Plus you get to dress up in a gorgeous dress, all the attention is on you, and all your attention is on your man. Not to mention you are {hopefully} marrying your BFF!
5. I'm kind of anal about...well, everything! My hair, my makeup, my body, my teeth, my clothes..
6. I'm also a control freak. Kinda goes with #5.
7.I am a lover of milk. Skim milk. I crave it at times. I'm weird, I know.
8. My dog is my baby! I gave birth to him, did you not know??
9. It's a good thing I'm pretty because I have some DUMB moments.
10. I'm girly, but I also love being outdoors and being adventurous.
11. I love heels. I love how pretty they are and how they make my legs look great. Up until this past year I'd wear heels 99.9% of the time.
12. What celeb would you trade places with for day? I love Rachel McAdams, Reese Witherspoon, Victoria Beckham, Mila Kunis, and Jennifer Aniston. Any of them would be fantastic. {I was going to post pictures, but after looking at my Pinterest, I realized I'd totally like to be Lauren Conrad, Ashley Olsen, and Kristin Cavalari (not prego)}
13. My favorite time of the year is when the weather is warm. I hate being cold!
14. I've never been out of the USA.
15. One place I definitely want to see is Egypt.
16. If I could go on a date with any celebrity, I'd go with David Beckham (not married). And then we'd bone all night.
Okay I've run out of things to tell you so I'll just name some likes and dislikes. annnnd GO.

Doctor Visit
I woke up extra early this morning so that I could go to an ENT {ear nose & throat doc}. I've had sinus issues since I was little. I had tubes in my ears when I was a baby. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with sinus issues, but I know before I get sick, my ears hurt.
I probably get a sinus infection 4-6 times a year, which FYI, is not normal. I met with my ENT for the first time this morning. He performed nasal endoscopy. Super fun times. His nurse sprayed some stuff in each nostril so that he could stick the camera down. Towards the end, it hurt and my eyes watered.
I have a polyps on my left side. He didn't see anything on the right side, so that's good! Usually if it's on one side, it's on the other in regards to your nose. The polyps is making the mucus not drain properly so that's why I get infections a lot. He gave me a script for 4 different meds - nasal spray, antibiotics, diflucan, and a steroid. I will take them for 3.5 weeks. Once I'm done I'll go in for a cat scan to see if it's better or worse. Depending on those results he will then test me for allergies and possibly do surgery. He said to warn ppl I'd be moody. Well yeah! You try taking steroids, all those antibiotics which cause yeast to stir up and tell me you won't be moody! ;) The next 3.5 weeks will be rough. Hopefully I'll be better once all the meds are over so that I won't require surgery and he can just test me for allergies.
I decided to google polyps in your nose and this is what I found.
If they become large enough, polyps can block the drainage pathways of the sinuses. When the sinus drainage pathways are obstructed, the normal sinus function will be affected and patients may develop the signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis. {which is what's happening to me}
Common signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps include:
A runny nose
Persistent stuffiness
Postnasal drip
Decreased or absent sense of smell
Loss of sense of tasteFacial pain or headache
Pain in your upper teeth
A sense of pressure over your forehead and face
Snoring
Itching around your eyes
I have all of those except the ones in italics. Crazy, right?!
