It's been such a long time and I hope everyone has been doing well! I decided it was time to part ways with some of my labradorite collection of palmstones. I have so many and it's impossible to enjoy them all. I know it's time they move along to their forever homes, so I look forward to watching these get souled! I've listed these on eBay and they will be an auction set for a week. I hope you like these! They were some of my favorites back in 2016 but unfortunately were in a box after our move and I just refound them recently. I fell in love with their beauty all over again while photographing and videoing them, so many beautiful flashes to discover! I hope you enjoy a look at what's available! For purchasing, you can head over to <a href="https://www.ebay.com/usr/crazycombos">eBay - CrazyCombos</a> for bidding.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Press Sample</div>
<br />
Hello Lovelies! It's been a while, so I hope you've all been well. Work has kept me busy, but I'm trying to make more time for my nail ladies (and gents), and painting them more often as well! I always joke that I wish I had more hours in a day. Wouldn't everyone love a few more hours of sleep? hehe<br />
<br />
I'm really excited for a different kind of post today, featuring a wooden watch by JORD! I've seen pictures of these watches before, and loved their look. I started by taking pictures in my light box, but felt the pictures looked too bland to show off the beauty of the watch. I decided to go outside to capture the natural look of the watch. I have some great shots below! The beautiful face is very reflective, and showed the greenery around me.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the Ely Series in Black available at <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#crystalscrazycombos" target="_blank">JORD Watches</a>. There are many different styles to choose from for both men and women. JORD offered to have it custom sized before it was sent to me, so it fits perfectly. I love how lightweight it is, and how it shows the date. The wood is beautiful, and the metal clasp is easy to secure and remove.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2xSn0tXNTsY/VaIc8PnJvhI/AAAAAAAATLs/z9OixTQIOuE/s1600/iPhone%2B07-09-2015%2B3228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2xSn0tXNTsY/VaIc8PnJvhI/AAAAAAAATLs/z9OixTQIOuE/s640/iPhone%2B07-09-2015%2B3228.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
On their website, they have a frequently asked questions section, where I saw how to clean a wooden watch. JORD recommends using two tablespoons each of olive oil and lemon juice, using a soft cloth. Make sure to wring the cloth out, and apply with brisk strokes to keep an even coating of the mixture. I thought this was interesting, since I have never owned a wooden watch before. <br />
<br />
They also talk about how wood will naturally develop a patina over time, and recommend using a beeswax, butcher block oil, or walnut oil to maintain the original appearance. This will also keep the watch protected, keeping it from cracking or drying out. It makes sense now that I think about it, as you would polish a metal watch, why wouldn't wood need some love too! <br />

I wore my watch last week with many different outfits. I love how it added an extra bit of style of each outfit. I felt it went with everything, and even matched the silver and black in my sandals! <br />

I love how my nails looked with the teal polish, Enchanted Daydream, and the wood together. I felt they complimented each other well. Below is a closer look at my nails. Below is two coats and a top coat while in the sun.<br />

At my work, we have a beautiful roof deck garden. It also happened that last week we were bombarded with butterflies. Every time I walked outside, at least 10 would fly around me. It was stunning, and I was able to capture some great shots of them while capturing the beauty of the JORD watch! Below is my favorite picture. On my nails is Enchanted Polish Entwined with two coats and a top coat.<br />

All this rain we've been having is making the garden flourish. I've been working in the city of Chicago two years now, but this being my third summer, I have never seen it so beautiful. The sunflowers have just bloomed! Isn't it beautiful?<br />

I love how the face of the watch can be subtle and look like it's just a regular black, but then when the light hits it, you see that gorgeous texture!<br />

I wore a maxi dress one day with a jean jacket. Loved how the jacket buttons looked with the watch. <br />

Overall, my new JORD watch is an simple, yet stunning addition of style to my wardrobe. I couldn't be happier to have a watch while commuting to the city, where I need to catch trains on a certain schedule. It is a mechanical watch, so if not worn daily, you may need to wind it a bit, but it kept me on perfect track this week without having to dig my out my cell phone in my huge purse.

<b>Press Sample</b></div>
<br />
Hi Lovelies! It has been ages, I know. Life has slowed down a little bit in the last couple of weeks, as I had gallbladder surgery on the 23rd of April! Luckily, I'm almost back to normal (and hopefully these bruises are almost gone too). It is amazing how advanced we continue to be in medicine! I'm extremely thankful I didn't have to miss much work. <br />
<br />
Even though I'm still taking it easy, I decided that this weekend would be a great opportunity to get my polish room a little more organized. So I sat down to look through what I have in my unposted folders and found this awesome post that I haven't shared. I have to apologize, as these shades are no longer available, but I still wanted to share to highlight the beauty and quality of the brand, Kawaii Nail Lacquer. You can purchase at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KawaiiNailLacquer">https://www.etsy.com/shop/KawaiiNailLacquer</a>. There are many other shades that you can choose from. Polishes retail at $9.00 each. You can keep up with Kawaii Nail Lacquer <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiNailLacquer">HERE on Facebook</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/KawaiiLacquer">HERE on Twitter</a>.<br />

Also, on the Etsy storefront is a message!<br />

Kawaii has had a lot going on over here after just being married, we have decided to expand onto cosmetics as well! Right now we are perfecting the bath bomb making art, Soaps which we have one up as we speak, with tons more scents to come. Shortly after we will welcome lotions, sugar scrub bath whips, all with ingredients listed on the box, as well as in your listing so please read beforehand.<br />
<br />
I am so happy to be back <3<br />
<br />
However, as of 2014. We will NOT be shipping internationally any longer. Due to prices going up even higher Jan 23rd 2014. Shipping over seas will be $15 dollars or more and sadly, we we're paying all the other fees we didn't charge. Sorry for any inconvenience!</div>

The formula must be spoken of first. I loved these. They all glided on and the glitter top coats laid flat. Jamie, the owner, creates combinations that are fun and bold.<br />
<br />
First up, Baby Doll.<br />

<br />
I love the white glitter in this. It is so popping, and with the texture, it gives it a floating look! I couldn't have been happier that way this turned out.<br />
<br />

<br />
The beautiful bold blue, purple, and pink look as if they are in pink milky heaven floating around! Such a fun shade.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think something about the shift to the base and these amazing glitters, makes this SUCH a party mani! I felt like I had to go somewhere with these. I think maybe New Year's would be fun to wear this!<br />

<br />
<br />
I used 3 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. I love the purple jelly filled with these amazing glitters!<br />
<br />

<br />
And since I'm home on a snow today today (one perk of this awful weather!), I ran outside quick to snag a couple pictures in the bright sun! It's the perfect light box with all this snow hahahaha :-P<br />

<br />
And I was thinking that it'd be awesome to matte this, but then forgot midway removing it (whoops), so two nails only...but this was the 3 coats with KBShimmer Clearly on Top, and I added 1 coat of Essie Matte About You. Stunning, right?<br />

Next up, we have Space, The Final Frontier HYPERDRIVE. This is amazing. I kick myself for not trying this sooner. I put it on last night knowing I bought one for the giveaway and needed to swatch it. I have no idea why I never put it on sooner, because I couldn't even take it off last night! I have a ton to swatch and I was drooling looking at this in different lighting! So these first few are light box.<br />

Hi Lovelies,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Can you believe today Crazy Combos is 2 years old? I know I’ve been pretty quiet over the last
6-8 months, but a lot has happened in the corner of my world. I know I’ve mentioned it many times, but
yesterday I’ve been at my new job for 6 months now! I’m working as an accountant within a law
firm in Chicago. My previous position
was as an executive assistant and I always enjoyed that field. I figured I would go back to school to do
something within business, but never found exactly what I wanted. It wasn’t until I was placed in this current
role that I’ve realized my love for accounting.
I think it works for me because numbers always balance out if you’re
doing it correctly! You can’t get
clearer than that, and I like clear cut.
So I’m about 98% positive that is what I’ll be returning to school
for. And depending on what my research
uncovers, I assume I have quite of bit of school ahead. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I also started commuting, so my day is quite a bit shorter with those 3
extra hours it takes me to get back and forth now, considering I went from 10
minutes a day for my old job. I thought
working out 3 times a week would mean my transition wouldn’t be too bad, but I
found muscles I didn’t know I had power walking from the train! Haha I miss the
gym and my amazing class instructor, but I’ve been eating way healthier and am
finally seeing some weight loss!
Halleluiah! Why didn’t I do this
in addition to working out all these years?
Duh. haha<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Even though I haven’t been posting, I’m always thinking of my blog and
all of you readers that I reach. It’s
something I can’t even express how much it means to me that people care about
me and wish me all the best, as well as want to see what I have to show or read
what I have to say. Thank you so so
much. It’s why I started Crazy Combos in
the first place, because I LOVE TO SHARE when I find something I love and
believe in. I’m so glad that I could be
here from the beginning of Indies to watch how much they’ve evolved! And to see fellow bloggers grow before my
eyes over these past few years has been amazing! I see how much effort everyone puts into
their work and they deserve all this credit!
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Maybe I need to start a reference page that people can use? I know I have favorite blogs listed here, but
maybe a favorite shops page of where I find my goodies? It can get confusing with so many different
places to shop. Comment if you’re
interested and I will see what I can come up with!! ;-)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
So back to my thoughts…On one side, I feel completely frustrated with
myself for not doing more. However, on
the other side, I know that my days are shorter and my head can only take so
much. I also think because I’m so behind
with reviews, that all I see is the big picture of everything that needs to be
finished. I won’t lie, it breaks me down
to tears some days that I just can’t do it.
I’m motivated during the day as I think of my to do’s on the way home,
but I walk in that door and there are dishes and clothes to be dealt with, and
don’t forget dinner, plus I cherish the time I have with my husband, so let’s
not forget him. I’ve also tried to give
Coda, my German Shepherd, more of my time, as he often doesn't get to play like
he should. How do you ladies (and gents)
do it? And with kids? Mr. CC and I plan to try in the next couple
of years, as right now it scares me to add that in!! I know I would love to be a mother, but
timing is important too! I suppose part
of it is because I’m still learning a lot in my current job, whereas before my
job was so natural to me, I could do it in my sleep.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
So I have this internal struggle and am constantly trying to figure out
how to handle this. I’ve struggled in
private, but I want to express my feelings since I did exactly what I never
wanted to, and that was disappearing. Maybe
I’m putting too much pressure on myself to do it all, but for how much my
husband does, it’s only fair that I keep up and do my share too. I know for a fact that I left a lot up to him
while I blogged more steadily before.
This would be a great time for someone to mention that book they have,
you know the one that tells me exactly how to make my life fit within the
allotted hours given…haha Ok so since that doesn’t exist, I just have to try my
best.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
OH! And don’t even get my started about technology. Part of my absence is due to that. I’ve been having computer problems for
ages. Since it’s so old, I know it’s
time for an upgrade, but we haven’t had the extra funds for that. My phone is also maxed out on storage. I can’t even take a picture, which makes
swatching impossible since that is what I use!
People say “well, why in the hell don’t you delete your pictures?!” My answer for that is my phone is like a
walking directory of polish. I use it
DAILY (well when full time blogging, I did!).
I’ve gone through to clean up unnecessary photos, but I still have like
5,500 pictures on there. And yes, they
are backed up to my computer, but I just love to stroll through them, as so
many brighten a bad day (they aren’t ALL nail pics haha, but mostly). Mr. CC and I plan to get new phones soon at
least. I’ll definitely be getting more
storage :-D<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I can’t really do anything else but apologize for the way things went
down in the past. I know I let a lot
down with not posting reviews, and for that, I am deeply sorry. I never meant to be so unprofessional, but it
just became too much and then I had zero time to think about it during the job
switch. My first few months, I would get
home, maybe put something in my stomach, and pass out! I’m glad that I can stay up now without
falling asleep in my soup, but now I need more sleep, since 5 hours a night
seems to NOT be working haha. On a side
note, my house is looking the best it has in years. Yes, years.
I have this hoarding problem! If you’ve ever seen my polish stash, you
can tell – I hoard. The last two months
have been a destash of my junk. It felt
great! Anyway, I think I’ve mentioned before, but if you want to talk to me directly
about a review that is owed, I definitely want to make things right. Please feel free to email me at
CrystalsCrazyCombos@gmail.com.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
I’ve been trying to come up with ideas to move forward. So what I think will happen is that I break
down collections into daily posts. That
is how I started almost two years ago and it seemed to work well. I want to mix things up with swatching old
and new, tape manis, maybe some other fun nail art stuff – who knows. My main focus is to take it day by day, step
by step. I do have a ton swatched
though. It’s just the editing that I’m
stuck on. If I can break it down into
one polish per post, it shouldn’t make me feel that much anxiety, whereas 5+ polishes per post can end up taking a lot
of time to make everything look right with a well written post. Being a perfectionist isn't always helpful
either!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
After thinking more about it, I've realized blogging was a second job
to me. Or maybe I should say it turned
into one. Don't get me wrong, reviewing
polish is FUN, but work does go along with it.
I loved it. It was an outlet for
me to use my creativity and brain power, since my old full time job wasn't
pushing me enough. To be on the opposite
side of that now, I understand that if I want to continue with my blog, it
can't be something that is a second job.
If I can accomplish all my personal goals this year, blogging included,
I have to set limits and figure out a plan to incorporate everything a little
bit instead of some things to excess. I
want to blog again because I love it and enjoy it, not because I have to hurry
and catch up, or put out something that I'm not 100% happy with. I want to get back to why I started in the
first place, which was to be a place you could come to look at polish! As well
as to decided if you needed it!! (Let's be real, you probably do *need*'it hehe
just kiddin)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
So I hope you'll continue to stick around and see what's ahead!! I miss
being involved in the nail community and hope to be around more :-) It
overwhelms me how amazing everyone is, and I want to talk to everyone, but it
can sometimes be hard with trying to keep up.
Thank you guys for the support. I hope 2014 can be a better year here at
Crazy Combos! And I have this awesome
giveaway for a gorgeous home decor wreath <a href="http://crystalscrazycombos.blogspot.com/2014/01/wreaths-by-emma-ruth-review.html">HERE!</a> !!

Best wishes in this new year to you all!!<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Hi Everyone! So I know I'm a tad early for my Blogiversary (January 27), but why not get this party started!?! Can you believe it's been two years already? Time flies when you're having fun ;-) My collection definitely has grown, but most importantly, so have my friendships!! Thank you for all the love and support!!<br />
<br />
I'm excited to say, Emily, owner of Wreaths by Emma Ruth, will be donating a custom wreath (or if you like something in the shop, you can chose that too!) for a prize! Isn't that so nice!? I bought a few people wreaths for Christmas, and absolutely LOVE how beautiful they are.<br />

<br />
Hi Everyone!! Today I have a Matte vs Glossy of Zoya Fall PixieDust of 2013! Aren't these stunning? Better late than never to show you all, right? ;-) If you're like me, polish has no season!!! lol<br />
<br />
I actually wanted to mention that. Thank you all for your kindness over the last 6 months as I transitioned into my new career path! I can't believe how much I love my new job. It was a lot to take on, but I'm happy to say that things are going well. I'm hoping 2014 will slow down a little to allow me back into blogging regularly. Now, I can't make guarantees because life changes so quickly, but my plan is ease back into it, making sure I cover all the reviews I owe. <br />
<br />
If you have questions or would like to talk to me personally, please contact me at CrystalsCrazyCombos@gmail.com. I had to pull back from my social media, as it became too much for me. However, I've been having fun getting back into chatting and polish shopping!! With that, of course I had to snag some new pretties that I couldn't resist!! So between all my untrieds, the polishes to review, and the new ones on the way - I'll have plenty to keep myself busy!! I hope no one minds a mix of old and new, since sometimes the older polishes can be hard to find. <br />
<br />
Again, I can't thank you all enough. I put this huge pressure on myself about all of this, but it seems you all understand :-) That means so much to me. My blog is to share what I know and what I've tried, so to be received and loved by the community is the greatest gift. I wish you all the best in 2014!! Let's have a great year!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, in case you forgot (hehe) here is the Zoya Fall PixieDust without top coat!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And glossy! I used KBShimmer Clearly on Top. Since these are textured polishes, a second top coat may be necessary, as we know glitter loves to eat top coat!! ;-)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
These gorgeous PixieDust colors are available through <a href="http://www.zoya.com/">http://www.zoya.com/</a> (directly listed <a href="http://www.zoya.com/content/category/Zoya_PixieDust_Fall_2013.html">HERE</a>) for $10 each.<br />
<br />
Also, a great promotion is available for 3 free* polishes!!! (*there is a $12 Shipping & Processing fee) Read more information <a href="http://zoyanailpolish.blogspot.com/2014/01/color-your-world-in-2014-with-3-free.html"><span style="font-size: large;">HERE</span></a>. If you spend $25 though, you can get free shipping!<br />
<br />
So let's look closer at each shade!! Lots of pics ;-) First up, Tomoko. This is 1 coat alone. Isn't it stunning? So elegant and easy for a quick mani! So sparkly too!<br />

And with Christmas comes giving and gifts (of course there is the Reason for the Season too!)! A wonderful way to do both is by purchasing KBShimmer's charity polish this year, Kringle All The Way!! It is stunning, but also is for a great cause. You can purchase it here - <a href="https://www.kbshimmer.com/shop/kringle-all-the-way-2013-charity-polish/">KBShimmer Kringle All The Way</a> - for $8.75 and $4 will be donated to Toys for Tots!!

Emily, her first name, and I have actually known each other since grade school. It's crazy how fast the time flies! ;-) I contacted her to make a similar type wreath with an accent of blue instead of pink, so I can hang it on my living room front door. I'm so excited, as I've admired her work for quite a while. Lucky for me, she didn't mind the custom or working with my current dećor! </span></div>

"This year I reached out to some of my favorite bloggers to
create 11 unique polishes that capture the feelings of winter and the winter
holidays. Each blogger had a different
idea, and it was so fun working with them to create a polish that told their story. Those polishes are described below." --Christy Rose of KBShimmer<o:p></o:p></div>

Each polish retails for $8.75, and comes in a

Champagne goes hand in hand with so many winter
celebrations, that it was no surprise that I was asked to capture the spirit of
a glass of bubbly. This clear glitter
topper is loaded with glitters in shades of gold, silver and pink. Circle and hex glitters from micro to large
give this polish is sparkling look. This
is a glitter packed, thick polish, so one dabbed on coat is recommended. We think it looks great over Plum Tuckered
Out. </div>

<b><i>Green Hex And Glam –
Kayla from Kayla Shavonne</i><o:p></o:p></b></div>
Green hex And Glam was actually a custom polish for Kayla’s 3
year blogaversary, but I knew it would also be a perfect Christmas shade! She wanted a green version of I Got A Crush
On Blue. I recreated that custom, with a
deep green jelly base. I then loaded
that base with silver holographic hex glitters in sizes from micro to
extra-large for an ultra-sparkly polish.
Best in 3 coats.<br />

<b><i>Sand In My Stocking –
Jen The PolishAholic</i><o:p></o:p></b></div>
Being a California girl, Jen sees Frosty being built from
sand, not snow, so this glitter topper is her twist on a beach born “Sand-Man”.
The sand inspired base of this polish is made up of small glitters in gold,
white, tan, brown, and grey. From there
we added gold circle “sand dollars”, gold holographic “starfish” stars, orange
circle carrot noses, and a dash of water in the form of aqua colored circle
glitters. This polish is packed with
glitter and can be layered in 3 coats to cover the nail line, or used as a
topper with one coat. We love it layered
over I’d Rather Be With Blue.<br />

<b><i>Snow Much Fun - Victoria from The Manicurator</i><o:p></o:p></b></div>
Victoria wanted a polish that represented the first snow,
and what better way than with snowflake glitter! This light blue jelly sparkles with light
blue holo glitter, white glitters in several sizes and finishes, a sprinkling
of micro holographic glitter, and of course, white snowflake glitter. Best in 3
coats or 2 coats over I’d Rather Be With Blue.
Please note, the snowflakes are large and a heavier glitter, and though
I added a large amount, there might be some fishing required to get multiple
flakes on each nail.<br />

<br />
As Christy mentioned, sometimes bigger glitters sink, so I like to flip the bottle upsidedown for a minute or two before using! It makes it so much easier to get out of the bottle! I used 2 coats of Snow Much Fun along with Clearly on Top.<br />

Hello all of my lovelies!!! Oh how it has been so long! I had planned, and still might, make an update post for what happened the last few months! It's basically that my life got really stressful, but things are finally calming down and I'm getting comfortable in my new routine with work and commuting! I'm trying to get back into things now - slowly, but surely. I've missed blogging too much!</div>

<br />
Christmas Now has been a saying in our house for a few years now. It stemmed from my impatience to be able to wait until Christmas for present time! I love getting presents, don't get me wrong! I mean, who doesn't, right? But I'm just as bad about GIVING gifts. I get so excited and I just want people to open it right now. Right. This. Second.<br />
<br />
So it's become a joke every year as I begin to want to give everyone their gifts early. Plus it's Mr. CC's birthday in December, so it's extra surprises all month long! That doesn't sound so bad, right?<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So as you've seen, I put text in the pictures of how many coats and what not. I figured it's less repeating myself and easier to quickly see. Hope that helps. I used KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish each mani. I recommend 2 coats for a perfectly smooth finish! There's a ton of glitter in here ;-) <br />
<br />
<br />
Next, I wanted to show the versatility of Christmas Now! Since it's a jelly, there are so many fun ways to wear it! Layering is a perfect way to change the look. Here a foil base reminds me of Christmas wrapping paper!!<br />

<br />
<br />
I can't wait to try other bases. Of course, white will make it look bright green and a regular green will just reduce the amount of coats you'll need. That way you can determine if you want a little glitter or a lot!<br />

I love how the glitter is suspended throughout the green base! I asked Christy to do a happy bright green jelly and she nailed it perfectly! I wanted gold stars like on top of the tree, along with round glitters like the ornaments and squares like the presents under the tree! I couldn't be happier with how my vision was turned into reality! :-D<br />

Hello Everyone!! I'm so excited to share with you, Purple Roses, by Enchanted Polish! This polish was given to me as a gift, which makes it even more special. Purple Roses was created to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis. When Googled, the definition is listed as: "Cystic fibrosis is a disease passed down through families
that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and
other areas of the body. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in
children and young adults. It is a life-threatening disorder." You can learn more at <a href="http://www.cff.org/aboutcf/">http://www.cff.org/aboutcf/</a>. <br />
<br />
As listed on the Enchanted Polish website: "Dedicated to cystic fibrosis awareness and a beautiful
friend. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation- Greater Illinois Chapter (http://www.cff.org)." I love when brands give back and raise awareness. It is so amazing to see that kindness and generosity. Cystic Fibrosis Awareness is particularly important to me to raise awareness, as I have a family member with this terrible disease. It is a hard disease to live with, but I feel as those who have it are strong and fight against it. I am always looking towards the future for the cure, and with research and donations, I hope that one day this disease will no longer be able to hurt any of the ones we love.<br />

<br />
For children, Cystic Fibrosis is hard to say. I mean, even as an adult, I think it's a mouthful! So when a child was one trying to say it, it came out 65 Roses and the name has become apart of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness. That is one of my favorite stories that I've heard, as even through such a scary disease, could come something so beautiful as the image of a rose. Also, Cystic Fibrosis is represented by the color purple. That is part of why I think this polish is so special and perfect for the representation of CF!<br />
<br />
I found this while searching Purple Roses & Cystic Fibrosis and thought it was perfect to share!<br />

Isn't this a beautiful polish? I love the idea behind it and how stunning it is. This polish will always be very close to my heart. Another reason why the nail polish community has so much more depth and meaning than just a bottle of polish! It's also about the generosity, kindness, and love that we all share.<br />

Hello Everyone! What a crazy week! I just want to thank everyone again for all of the love and support in the passing of my Grandpa! Yesterday was his funeral. He received a beautiful military ceremony with a final resting place of peace within a military cemetery that is breathtaking. During the ceremony, a couple of birds flew into the pavilion. With the beautiful sunny day and slight breeze, the temperature was perfect and it was a very comforting setting surrounded with loved ones. One of the birds rested on a bar above the casket and I thought it was almost like a sign or something, as it caught my eye. It actually had a nest there that it flew to and stayed there for the rest of the service for our family. With so many people around, I was surprised it felt so comfortable in there.</div>

Later, my Mom reminded me how when we were little, that my cousins and I would call my Grandpa, Grandpa Birdie. He actually would whistle like a bird too. I can't believe I forgot that. Of course, being so young and as time passes by, it's not until events like this that you start to think and really remember. I have to say what a perfect closure that was to saying goodbye to him. It may have just been a coincidence, but I love to think of myself as very intuitive and in touch with nature. I am constantly amazed by this world and the nature within it. It makes me appreciate these little types of moments and signs like this, and I will always cherish them when the coincide. </div>

I also wanted to explain part of why I've been MIA lately! I was offered a position downtown (Chicago) and will be starting in a couple weeks! It is an incredible opportunity and I am looking forward to the change in atmosphere, both in business and location. Since I had been interviewing a lot, it made it difficult to keep up on everything. I know I still have A TON to do, so I apologize for the delay, but thank everyone for being SO extremely patient with me. It means a lot to me to have the support. </div>

I'll be going from an Executive Assistant to a Legal Staff Accountant. I'm excited to join a law firm and experience that aspect of business. I know that my transition will be a lot of work as I adjust, so I ask for more patience (I know, I know, I have been asking for that for a while now). I do really appreciate it though and do have a current giveaway (<a href="http://crystalscrazycombos.blogspot.com/2013/07/pretty-polished-blogger-collection.html">Enter HERE!</a>) and a couple more coming soon! I just want to thank you all for sticking by me and hope that you'll stay for a while as I figure things out. My hope is that while commuting on the train, I'll be able to blog and work on social media before and after work :-) It will be an extra 2-3 hours of commuting, while I previously only worked about 5 minutes from home! haha! Crazy, I know, but how else do you think I got my blog name? hehe</div>

So how about some swatches? I know it's been a while, so I have a bunch of stuff from Disturbing Potions to show you! Some was for review, but I also love to buy polish and lotions!! Annette, the owner, is fantastic! She offers great stuff for great prices! You can shop with her at <a href="http://disturbingbehavior.net/">http://disturbingbehavior.net/</a>. She is also on Instagram and regularly updates information there - @playwanet. She sells lots of polish (naughty names) and amazing lotions! Polish + Lotion = Potions ;-)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">****I must warn you though, <u>if you are under 18 or maybe offended easily</u>, please feel free not to read the rest of this post! Disturbing Potions has some naughty names, so I'll put a page jump here!****</span></div>

Ok, so if you're still with me, you'll understand why these are gorgeous and I had to have them. Hopefully no one takes offense and has a laugh at these silly names ;-) I know I just laugh, because seriously? Life is too short. </div>

<br />
I love how thick and creaming these are! It has a roasted coffee scent to it and it makes my skin SO soft. The caffeine really helps my skin to make it feel tighter. I know not everyone may have the same results, but I am a huge fan of these butters!<br />
<br />

<br />
There are chunks of raw cocoa butter in here that melt onto the skin when applied! I personally love the scent of cocoa butter, so this is amazing to me!<br />

I honestly can't remember which soap combination this was, but she has SO many fun scents to choose from. I just love her molds too! So cute!<br />

<br />
And my favorite face cream, Raw-Raw Shea Butter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9lvnzybxOMM/UduKxipw_DI/AAAAAAAARLc/T3P-E9jOm-A/s1600/IMG_0793.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9lvnzybxOMM/UduKxipw_DI/AAAAAAAARLc/T3P-E9jOm-A/s640/IMG_0793.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>
<br />
I use this with the black soap (<a href="http://disturbingbehavior.net/products/1140978-ultimate-zit-fighter-bar-jumbo">Ultimate Zit Fighter Bar</a> - unfortunately sold out right now). Since the soap dries me out, along with my pimples (I am so in love), this awesome shea butter restores the moisture so my skin doesn't dry out. For me, it's the perfect regimen. Again, everyone is different, but I do recommend giving Disturbing Potions a look!<br />
<br />
In case you missed above, Annette, the owner, is fantastic! She offers great stuff for great prices! You can shop with her at <a href="http://disturbingbehavior.net/">http://disturbingbehavior.net/</a>. She is also on Instagram and regularly updates information there - @playwanet. She sells lots of polish (naughty names) and amazing lotions! Polish + Lotion = Potions ;-)<br />

I hope you enjoyed the extra long post!!! And thank you again for all of your love!</div>

Much Love back to you! Enjoy the weekend!</div>

Hello Everyone! Some of you may have saw the picture I posted last night about my Grandpa passing away early Sunday morning. I've posted it below. It is an older picture of us two, but one of my favorites. He was a wonderful man. I still remember being very little and he would pop out his dentures. I was beyond confused and it freaked me out, but now I look back and laugh at his silliness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I know my Dad is taking it hard losing his father. We have been very fortunate in my family to not have very much death, and this is the first grandparent on my side to pass. Unfortunately, my Grandma (his wife, my Dad's mom), is very sick too. I try to see the beauty in that they will meet and be together again very soon. It's never easy to lose a loved one, but I know that he is in a better place and looking upon us from above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XzUGUmUm3ek/UduKzT-9e-I/AAAAAAAARLs/NqGd5uBmrnE/s1600/Graduation+6-3-05+026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XzUGUmUm3ek/UduKzT-9e-I/AAAAAAAARLs/NqGd5uBmrnE/s640/Graduation+6-3-05+026.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>

I was able to see him a week prior to his passing. My Dad had warned me that he probably wouldn't recognize me. As soon as I walked in, his face lit up. I, on the other hand, started bawling. I asked him how he was feeling, although it was apparent, and he said, "To tell you the truth, absolute horse shit." Even in pain and suffering, he could still make me laugh. He was in and out of it because of the morphine, but he actually said my name at one point, telling me how happy he was to see me. I will always cherish those last moments with him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At one point, he did ask Mr. CC if he smoked. When he said no, my Grandpa said, "Oh, that's a shame." At the time, we weren't sure what he meant. Later, I was talking to my Mom and she said he was probably looking for a cigarette! That little stinker! He unfortunately smoked almost his whole life. We're lucky to not have lost him sooner. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The incredible support from everyone brings me to tears. I cannot express how much your kindness means to me. I'm constantly amazed to be apart of such a caring group and cherish all your condolences, thoughts, and prayers. Thank you. Also, thank you for letting me share this with you. Tomorrow we will remember him and Thursday we will say goodbye.</div>

It seems it's always something at Crazy Combos lately haha ;-) At least we haven't lost power this week (lost it so many times last week), and my internet is currently connected! Yay! But even that has been spotty the last two weeks (service call Saturday - hope it can be fixed!). I know, First World Problems, but I've realized how much I do love my power and internet!! haha Anyway, even though I haven't been posting, I do have polishes swatched and ready for you guys!! Hopefully things will get somewhat back to normal here soon! Thanks for sticking by me! ;-)<br />
<br />
I'm excited to review for you the Blogger Collection by Pretty & Polished! Chels, the owner, asked me to come up with some ideas in order to have a polish created in representation of my blog. What an absolute honor! So I started thinking white - holo - circle glitter!! And thanks to Chels, Crazy Circles was born! I am in love with it. It has black, silver, and a few shades of pink circle glitters. <br />

This polish is a gorgeous mix! I love the gold fleck in the white base, along with gold circle glitter and blue hexes and smaller maroon hexes! <br />

Hello Everyone!! I'm so happy we got our power back yesterday after the storm on Monday! It was a quick storm, but it effected a lot of towns! Many didn't have power like us, and I'm just thankful we were only out of power for a day! Sometimes bad storms put us out a lot longer! After driving yesterday, I saw a lot of trees uprooted! It is quite scary! Below is a couple blocks away. I just ask that you keep those with damage in your thoughts and prayers! I'm feeling very fortunate to not have had any devastation from the storm! </div>

I was feeling like an office type mani, with a bit of sparkle. I started with 2 coats of OPI Barefoot in Barcelona.<br />
<br />

A beautiful holo top coat! If you don't have one of these, I highly recommend it! It makes any polish holo by layering it. Part of the fun is finding new combos! I really love these two together and will be wearing them again!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I love the glitters in this! They are so delicate and beautiful! And Jaded seems to change color in certain lights! My light box, it looked more teal.</div>

Hi Everyone!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
These last
couple of months have been challenging to say the least! I am sorry that I haven't been here as
regularly as before, but I do hope to get back to that. I've been trying to focus more on my home,
improving and doing more, as I've often let my husband take more of the
responsibility of chores! How unfair is
that?! My full time job has also been
demanding, but I am thankful to have a place of employment. And finally, I am continuing to be active at
the gym! Unfortunately, my hobby and
passion of blogging has taken a bit of the backseat as I try to manage my life
right now. I had hoped a break would
help me come back more focused, but really it just made me notice how little I
have contributed to my husband and my household over the past year. I really admire those women (and men) out
there who do it all and do it so well!
And the ones with children? You
are my hero! ;-) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I wanted to
share this because you, my dear readers, mean so much to me. I do have a few more personal things that I'm
working through, but nothing to be too concerned about. My stress has overall been high and as much
as I love swatching, blogging, and social media, it has all overwhelmed me a
lot these past couple of months. Something
that has always been fun for me, started to become a chore and a lot of
pressure. I put the pressure on myself,
so it was necessary to give myself some time away to be able to enjoy it
again. However, in that time, I took on
reviews that I thought I could handle, but instead I became extremely
behind. I do realize how unprofessional
and rude that is, but all I can do is apologize and continue working through
the reviews.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
My blog has
grown a lot this past year, which has allowed me to reach so many wonderful
people! It's truly a blessing, and I'm
extremely lucky to have such supportive friends and fans here. I used to go through so many hobbies before I
found blogging and polish. Being a part
of this community has worked it's way into my heart and life, so I'm not going
anywhere. I do wish I could say that
starting now, I'll be back, perfectly on track, but I'm taking things slow, day
by day. :-) Thank you for being so
patient and understanding with me. I
can't wait to share these wonderful polishes with you!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I hope you
all have been enjoying the summer so far!
I'm very happy to say that I have been.
Although things have been busy, I am very glad to be spending more time
with my husband, friends, and family!<o:p></o:p></div>

First up, Jumping Jellyfish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I was able to try Candied Cherries, Blue Raspberry, and Coffee Junkie sugar scrubs. These are deliciously scented!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IiyzA8pWRpw/UbFuG8yDMQI/AAAAAAAAQhY/YkQchlDp4tQ/s1600/IMG_2916.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IiyzA8pWRpw/UbFuG8yDMQI/AAAAAAAAQhY/YkQchlDp4tQ/s640/IMG_2916.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>
<br />
The Blue Raspberry smells just like blue raspberry flavored candy with it's sweet scent! The Candied Cherries is also sweet like candy! Coffee Junkies is delicious like fresh coffee beans, when you walk past the bags at the grocery store or in Starbucks! Yum!<br />
<br />

So using acetone had really dried out my hands, as it usually does. I hate sharing these types of pictures, lol! I guess it's only fair though! Gardening has been not so good for the nails!<br />

I took a small dab. You can use more or less depending on your preference! I like to then splash a bit of water and then rub it in really well over my hands! Once I rinsed, my hands felt so much more moisturized and soft!<br />

For all these manis, I used the Swift Sparkle top coat by Pretty & Polished. It was my first time using and I'm so far loving it! I'll keep using it and let you guys know, but my initial thoughts are good! It is a quick dry and does have a beautiful shine! I apply it a little thick, but it seems to go on like butter and look perfect! Overall, very happy with it and will continue testing it!<br />
