A quick hello...

Hi everyone!

(First off, if anyone still comes here you'll notice my (ex) blog is back to a default template design as somehow the images I was using have disappeared and I can't find them.)

I started med school 3 weeks ago and I'm already very busy with all my classes and studying as I hate being caught helpless a few days before the exams! I was planning on swimming with the varsity team this year, but in early August I subluxed my shoulder that was operated on last March so I've pretty much been doing weights and running since then. I subluxed it again last week while kicking in the water so I'm waiting to see my doc next week and my surgeon in 4 weeks. I'm really hoping it's nothing too serious, but honestly, judging by the pain I was in for 3 days I think something happened inside. What is now the question!

I still have a mountain of polishes I'd like to sell if anyone is interested as they're really just sitting in my cupboard... If I can't sell them they'll probably end up in the trash or at some old people's home :O They can be found here.

It would be easier if you can contact me at astrokeofcolorblog@gmail.com if you're interested.

Enjoy the fall!

Touching base one final time...

Hello everyone,

I know it's been forever so I figured I'd post one last time. I really enjoyed writing my blog, but the time has now come to move on to other things. Even though I still kept around 200 of my favorite polishes (yes, many many neons!), I haven't painted my nails in almost a year now so there would be no point to keep working on a nail polish blog.

I've also had a lot of stuff going on in my life, rehabbed my shoulder from last August's surgery, only to find out this past February that my left shoulder was also torn. Ended up having left shoulder surgery a month ago (surgeon said the 180 degree tear was much worse on that side), and am now slowly rehabbing this one while my other one has most likely developed tendinitis ;) Why do simple when it can be complicated? lol

I also went back to school, and now am hoping to get into med school for next fall.

So there you have it.. not much interest or time to keep doing this blog so this will be my last post. My fire sale is still going on if anyone is interested, and I won't be removing the posts or the pics on my flickr account either. I will however be moving the blog back to the free blogger URL (astrokeofcolor.blogspot.com) shortly.

Thanks for being along for the ride while it lasted!

Fire sale continues!

Hello everyone!

It's been a long long time ;-) I had shoulder surgery 6 weeks ago and everything is looking very good in rehad right now. I can now do all of my everyday life activities normally, and I've been running & biking for 3-4 weeks now. I'm seeing my surgeon again next Monday so I should know better by then when I can try going back in the pool :D

I'll be honest... I haven't painted my nails in 2 months now :O I need money badly so I figured all those pretty polishes sitting unloved in my helmers might be happier in better homes. I now have a bit under 250 bottles in my stash, still quite lofty according to non-np people ;-)

Anyways, here's the link to my newest sales. New additions are in orange. Please email me if you're interested in anything!!

SALE

Small disclaimer: I always package as well as I can with bottles wrapped individually in bubble wrap, and padded mailers or boxes when I have them. Accidents during transit do happen, but I can't be held responsible for that :( Also, you can always request a box rather then bubble mailer, but 1) I don't think it makes a big difference, and 2) shipping from Canada is pretty expensive so a box would cost more in terms of shipping weight.

New update :D

Hi everyone!

Yes I am still alive lol... I've had quite the summer up to now! I broke up my 7-year relationship in June and found a new place to move into on July 1, so since then I've been super busy getting my stuff organized. I've also had my surgery scheduled for Aug 12 so I've just finished painting my new apartment while I have use of both my shoulders ;-) Still no swimming, but I did compete in my first sprint triathlon a few weeks ago, and I'm doing another one next weekend right before my surgery! I also had a blast cheering for friends at the Lake Placid Ironman last weekend and I've decided when I stop swimming that's what my goal will be :D Yep I'm intense!

I've worn polish I think once or twice since April... last time I put on a pretty pink neon but it just felt weird so I guess I'm not really back into it yet :/ Maybe that will come now that I'm more settled down? I haven't bought a polish since the CC neons last winter/spring I think!

Anyways, hope everyone is enjoying their summer (for those of us on this side of the world!)! :D

Blowout Sale!

Good afternoon!

Still waiting on my surgery date.. so I'm just going through a declutter phase where it's like I need to get rid of stuff to feel good. I've therefore gone through a massive purge (about 1/2 my stash!), and I'm posting it here for you guys! The list has everything that's listed on LJ, with the new additions in red or orange. Please leave a comment here or email me if you're interested! Shipping to the US is around $6 for 1-3 bottles, $8 for 4-7 bottles, and internation is around $9 for 1-3 bottles and $16 for 4-7 bottles.

Update :)

Good evening!

Thanks everyone for the wishes, but unfortunately such is our health system that I learned on my scheduled date that my surgery was postponed to somewhere in June. I am still awaiting for the June schedule to come out and the hospital to call me with a new date, and I am supposed to have priority then so hopefully that means early June because I am going nuts with not swimming and with the pain :(

Maybe because of everything that's going on in my life, I haven't been feeling like painting my nails at all recently and have only had polish on for like 5 of the last 20 days or so :/ I'm just not itching to buy new colors, or to do funky manis... For this reason I've decided to take a break from my blog. I don't know how long it will last, but I imagine like always I'll get the drive back eventually.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments, and hopefully I'll be back sooner rather than later with more pretty and wild colors!
