    Kiss – Press On Nails

    December 11, 2018 /

    It’s been a few years since I’ve had my nails professionally done. It’s a mix of not having time and not wanting to spend the money. So I have been painting my own nails for a while. However, if you’ve been following me for a while then you know my nail art skills have lots of room for improvement. So when I got a box of goodies sent to me from Influenster and Kiss, I was excited to see 2 packs of press-on-nails included. I was never one to get my nails done regularly at the salon but there was a stretch of time when I’d go a few times…

    Nails: Silver Roses

    April 1, 2018 /

    It’s been a while since I’ve used my Flash Tattoo nail tattoos so when I was deciding what to do with my nails the other day I decided to do something with those. I wanted to paint my nails a nice, light, springy color since it’s officially spring, at least calendar wise if not weather wise, and because it’s Easter weekend. I decided to go with Essie’s “Perfect Posture”, a nice light periwinkle blue color. I thought a silver Flash Tattoo tattoo would look great against the shade and I went with silver roses on my ring fingers. The combination of the silver and periwinkle is perfect and the roses…

    Merry Christmas Eve! I can’t believe Christmas is actually here. It seems to have really crept up out of nowhere this year. My family and I are actually celebrating Christmas today because we’re flying out tomorrow morning for a family trip. I have a few posts scheduled to go up while I’m away and I will be starting some travel diary posts later on in the week while I’m gone. But, to see what I’m up to you can always check out my Instagram particularly my stories for live updates! I always try to do festive nails for Christmas and I’d been looking at ideas for a while. i wanted…

    Fall Polka Dot Nails

    November 21, 2017 /

    Last week I wanted to do something fall/Thanksgiving-y for my nails. I fully intended to try to do plaid nails using fall colors (brown, orange, red, white) but when I sat down to do my nails I really did not have the patience to try to draw straight lines on my nails. If you didn’t know, drawing straight lines on your nails is no easy task! So at the last minute I changed my mind and painted my nails brown and then used the other colors to do a polka dot look. The polished I used: (Brown) OPI – “That’s What Friends Are Thor” (White) OPI – “Alpine Snow” (Orange)…

    Rain[Bow] Nail Accents

    Have you ever used any temporary tattoos from Flash Tattoo? I’ve written about them a few times on here because they’re so fun. Well recently they came out with nail designs! I knew I wanted to try them so when I placed an order for some new summer tattoos I added some nail tattoos to my basket. I got the Beach Set and the Sweet Treats set. These nail tattoos work exactly like regular temporary tattoos. You cut out the design you want, peel off the plastic cover, place it on your nail and use a wet paper towel to transfer the design. I decided to use the rainbow from…

    Blue & White Anchor Nails

    It’s been pretty hot this week. Like disgustingly hot. But luckily the heat wave is starting to ease up. With the summer weather, I wanted to do something summer-y with my nails that was a little different instead of the normal bright colors. I decided to try my hand at drawing an anchor on my ring fingers. One came out pretty good (but off center) and other came out a bit wonky, but as all of you know that have been following me for a while – nail expert I am not. I used Essie polishes in “Mint Candy Apple” and “Midnight Cami” and a white Sally Hansen nail pen.…

    Mint & Purple Scalloped Nails

    April 24, 2017 /

    I’ve been scouring the Internet for easy spring nail designs for the past few days. Easy being the key word. I wanted to do a flower design, but then I thought that might be a little too ambitious this time around. I found this scalloped design on YouTube and really liked it. I decided to just use 2 colors to make it easier on me, plus my nails aren’t long enough for so many layers I don’t think. I used Essie’s “Mint Candy Apple” and “All Access Pass”. The dotting tool was used to make the scalloped design, which was easier than I thought it would be. My scalloped design wasn’t very…

Book Spotlight ✨ Explosive Chemistry by Paige E. Book Spotlight ✨ Explosive Chemistry by Paige E. Ewing @paigeewing_author came out last month and I was lucky enough to receive a copy but haven’t gotten to read it yet! Keep reading for the synopsis 📖

Set 30 years into a hopeful future where fossil fuels are obsolete in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a reluctant spider-kin fortune teller must solve the mystery of who killed four soldiers at Fort Liberty. With not quite enough– or maybe too much– help from an infuriating Fae Colonel, and before her dear friends, an oak goblin doctor and a fairy with a penchant for machine guns, end up as the next victims. Including a neurodivergent main character and a diverse cast of quirky companions, Explosive Chemistry is the second installment of the Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville series that started with Precise Oaths.

I’m looking forward to getting into this series! 📚

Christmas in Coconut Creek by @karissakinwordwrite Christmas in Coconut Creek by @karissakinwordwrites was such a fun read and my favorite Christmas read so far this season! 🎄📚The novel follows Ophelia and Frankie. Ophelia lives in Colorado but takes a few weeks off work to visit her best friend in Florida for the holidays. Just for fun, she spends her time at the airport playing around on a dating app when she matches with a good looking guy who is former military. And that guy just so happens to be sitting next to her on the plane. There is definite chemistry, but just when the two think they'll never see each other again, they learn that Ophelia's best friend and Frankie's best friend/roommate are a couple so they will be spending a lot of time together for the next few weeks. ✈️

I loved Ophelia, Frankie, Natalia, and Matteo! I loved Ophelia and Frankie together. Their banter was so fun. It was really beautiful to watch their relationship grow and how they went from individuals who felt very solitary in many ways to realizing they could rely on each other too. 🥹🩷

The book is filled with laughs, banter, spice, and also a couple emotional moments that did have my heart aching at times!🩷

This is the first book the Dirty Delta series which is going to follow Frankie’s other best friends from Delta Team. I can’t wait!📖

Read this if you want a spicy Christmas romcom with the friends with benefits to lovers trope! My full review is on the blog ✨

P.S. this perfect photo op was from when I was knitting vacation in Florida and went to Disney Springs one evening!

Wreck the Halls by @tessabaileyisanauthor is my la Wreck the Halls by @tessabaileyisanauthor is my latest Christmas read! 🎄📖 The novel follows Melody Gallard and Beat Dawkins. Their mothers used to be a very popular rock duo that had a falling out and broke up 30 years ago. People have wanted them to reunite for year. Melody and Beat have always ignored the questions from the press and public, but when Beat is in need of some money he considers a reality tv offer that will pay him and Melody a million dollars if they can get their mothers to get back together to perform on Christmas Eve at Rockefeller Center. 🎶🎄

Melody spent all her teenage years being ridiculed by the press for her looks, braces, etc. so she has enjoyed being out of the spotlight as an adult. But when she finds out that Beat, her long time crush, is considering a reality show to reunite their mothers she seriously considers putting herself back out in the public eye. However, Beat has always felt protective of her – even from afar – and as much as he needs this show and reunion to work he doesn’t want to see Melody get hurt.🩷

Will the two who have secretly liked each other for the past 14 years finally get together? Will they succeed in getting their mothers to reunite?🩷

I really enjoyed this book! I would’ve loved an epilogue and a little more to the ending, but I loved Beat & Melody, the fun banter, the spice, and storyline! 📖🩷

Read this if you want a spicy Christmas romcom 🩷. My full review is on the blog ✨
