I just re-started the Insanity Workouts and while I am super sore I know in just a few weeks I will be seeing results in my legs and booty. It’s also jump started my healthy eating habits so I’m already feeling very happy about getting back into it!
Something positive that has happened in my life is I just applied for a new job….fingers crossed!!
I recently moved to a new city and it had been a wonderful change! I love my new home and I’m having fun exploring my new city. I’m much happier than I was before the move.
Love your site you always do an awesome job. Because of your site I have been able to decide on polishes to buy. So thank you for the time you spend on your blog. The positive thing that has happened to me, besides having my daughters, I just started back to cosmology school. I’m really enjoying it and it makes me happy to make people feel good about themselves. Again you do an awesome job with your blog. Have a great weekend. :~) luv

My three children are the best thing that ever happened to me! Now I get to add another since my oldest daughter is engaged to a wonderful man!
I love your site and giveaways are always fun! Good luck
Having the chance to visit Hawaii last year has changed my life significantly and I have never visited a place that has truly made me feel at peace with myself.
It’s a beautiful sunny day and I’m going for a manicure/pedicure today! This is a best way to start the week-end!
They happiest moment in my life was giving birth to my son…and on my birthday too!!! Double cake day 🙂
Love your site Mary. You have been supporting me and my love for nail polish for over a year now. It is
great that you see nothing wrong with men wearing nail polish. I thank you for that. Another positive thing that happened in my life was that I don’t regret leaving a bad marriage that was mentally destroying me. Thank you Mary! <3
Very cool! This is an awesome giveaway and you’re an awesome Blogger (but you already knew that right?).
The happiest moment in my life was giving birth to my daughter!
4 years ago I met the man of my dreams, today we’re planning for our life together ~ Thank you for the giveaway!
something positive that happened to me? I joined eharmony a few yrs back and actually met the man of my dreams 🙂

I got to visit my hometown 🙂
I’m not kidding when I say: THIS blog by Mary was (and is) a very positive thing in my life. A few years back, I became disabled because of a spine problem. No longer able to work, keep my horses, and be the me I was; somehow I stumbled upon Swatch & Learn (and a couple other nail polish blogs) and now I have a hobby that gives me pleasure and a “purpose”. Now on my good days, I can paint and blog about it. Life is funny. Mary is awesome!! 🙂

I have recently been diagnosed as diabetic, while that itself is not something positive. My new healthy eating & exercising is. A blessing in disguise as I now am very mindful of what I eat.
Uhhhh well I’ll say a good thing from today. The bake sale was fun and lots of people were supportive.
I tend to get down on myself at times and I guess a little sad. Especially with this long winter! I am glad you asked for us to think of something positive to help remind me of the good things going on! I have a beautiful and wonderful daughter who fills my life with excitement and joy. I love to watch her grow up. She is definitely something positive in my life 🙂
After a hard road, my husband and I were finally able to get (and stay!) pregnant. I’m now 31 weeks pregnant and we are expecting a little boy in 2 months. We’re so excited!
Found my wonderful husband (now deceased), he gave me the greatest gift imaginable, a beautiful baby boy who has grown up to be a strong, handsome, loving man!
Thank you for the giveaway! My positive thing is a recent job change. It’s been WONDERFUL and I think it might be a place I could retire from!!
The best thing that happened to me lately is that my 5 month old granddaughter finally sleeps in her crib so I don’t have to hold her the 2 days a week I take care of her. It wasn’t easy getting her to do this and it’s such a relief now. Plus she wakes up happy and has a big smile for me when she does.

Broke the 100 followers mark on my Tumblr blog.
great giveaway!!!
I was able to move to Canada and get a better education and lifestyle.
Had great feedback on a conference presentation I gave 🙂
Starting to study Mandarin is a really good thing to happen to me, because I can truly appreciate more aspects of Asian culture and feel more connected to my roots!
We got a dog! He is the sweetest, most curious being I have ever met and I’ve never been more in love 🙂
Yesterday was a great day. I got to meet my newest nephew, who makes niece/nephew #13. He’s just beyond adorable and squishy. Plus, I got to do my oldest niece’s hair and nails for her first prom.
Thanks so much for doing a giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! My husband recently started working at CN! This is a big pay hike for him and means a lot more opportunities for us down the road.

Thanks for the giveaway Mary! Such a nice thing to see after I just finished the first year of my professional program! Three more to go!
Hi! I had a really big positive happen in my life just yesterday. I moved into my own apartment! It’s so exciting. Thank-you!
I get to finally go see my family in Oregon after a year and a half and my husband finally gets to meet my family!!
My kids, without a doubt.
I returned to school after many years to pursue a career change. Last fall I was in a huge financial crunch and didn’t have enough to pay spring semester tuition. I set up a gofundme page and raised more than I needed. I was, and continued to be, amazed and grateful by contributions from people I’d only met a few times and from complete strangers. An added bonus of sorts was the positive push this gave me. It has been tough working full-time plus a part-time job and taking 10 credits all at the same time. The thought that these people believed in me enough to help me out financially gives me extra motivation when things get tough.
I’m on track to graduate in August =D
P.s. Since I don’t have extra funds it would be super awesome if I could win some new polish!
I’ve never tried CND but I’ve heard great things about it.
Tomorrow I get to see two of my college friends who I haven’t seen in a long time! It will be great to catch up!
Looking forward to summer and completing the 30 in 30 challenge to get outside everyday in May for 30 minutes!
My younger sister got a kitten and he’s super adorable and snuggly 🙂
The best thing that happened most recently was that I was approved for 1 year of payment assistance for a medication I needed that my insurance did not cover. Awesome!
amazing color range! plus I’ve always wanted to try the vinylux polish…. Amazing giveaway once again!
thnx

My unborn nephew has kept his mommy clean for 7 months. 🙂
I recently decided to go back to school to become an Esthetician/Nail Technician. I start in June.
Something positive…hmmm. Well, I do have 2 wonderful kids (okay, young adults) and one amazing grandson! I get to take care of my parents now, too. It might not sound like a positive, but it really is. 😀
Oh, and I have a small, but incredibly wonderful, group of girlfriends that I love dearly and wouldn’t trade for the world. After all, every woman should have other women to share secrets with..have fun with…help bury bodies (just kidding on that last one). 😛
I was nominated for valedictorian of my community college graduating class! I interview for the honor next week.
I found a job! Glad to be done searching!
I met my boyfriend only a few months ago and I’ve been so happy ever since. Thank you so much for this awesome giveaway 🙂
Something positive was graduating from college a year ago and landing a job that I enjoy!
I am lucky enough to see another birthday. I am a cancer survivor, and each day is a blessing.
I’m setting up my own business! So excited!!
My baby cousin was born this week!
I just opened my little party shop. 🙂
I was able to retire from teaching! Love my time off!
My 17 month old son just gave me his first kiss today. It was sooo cute.
I am going to be an aunt in a few weeks
I managed to beat stage 4 cancer after being given a 33% chance of survival.
I have been suffering from debilitating Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for many years. I filed for disability and I didn’t know I didn’t qualify because I had been unable to work for too long so i filed for SSI. I went to court this month after waiting 2 years and it went really well. It takes 3 more months to get the written decision but I see a possible light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
It’s my last week in school and I’m so excited for the time off!
I’ve been on a strict ‘diet’ for the past two weeks and I’ve already lost 8 pounds! 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway! Something positive lately is that my Irises in my yard have bloomed–and they are purple! One of my favorite colors!

I get to go visit my best friend and go to her sister’s graduation, who is like my little sister 😀

I am a breast cancer survivor who married the best man ever! He proposed to me the day of my double mastectomy! 3 yrs ago. We are now happily married 6 months. Still Newlyweds Best positive thing I could of ever done!
I got to go snow tubing for the first time this winter – having grown up in Florida, it was such a blast to be able to have fun in the snow!
A positive thing in the process of happening is me developing a relationship with my sister. We always fought growing up but now we are starting to get along 🙂
