How 'Bout a Little French?

I know a lot of people do not like a plain french manicure. I for one LOVE them when my nails are short because I actually see them growing. Pretty soon my natural smile line starts showing and it's time for another manicure and another and pretty soon they're long again. Now if I could just leave them alone! The Konad Nail Stamper is just way too much fun and I'm just not yet tired of it! DANG IT!!!!

This mani I did by mixing a couple of different pink colors (one had a slight purple sparkle that you might be able to see with the pic enlarged) because with my pink skin, I NEVER get away with beige color tones for this manicure. The biggest thing to note here is: LOOK AT MY CUTICLES!!! THEY ARE HEALED! After receiving advise from another blogger, my cuticles have done a 180! And just so everyone knows, I've been using Burts Bees solely. The stuff works great. They also have skin care for those who are suffering with the winter dry skin and want to use all natural products.

Curse You 21 Jumpstreet and Heed My Warnings

Ok, so I rented it and I loved it!!! I hate that I loved it! And I hate myself even more that I'm running out to buy it! But watching this HILARIOUS movie remake reminds me of all the broken dreams and unanswered questions I was left with as a teenage girl while I manipulated and maneuvered my black and white TV antennae unavailingly to give me a clear picture of the hit Fox TV show. Back in 1987, Fox was a new station and did not come through very clearly on that trusty black and white and most nights it was as if my beloved Penhall was communicating to me from the other side through all that white noise. Yes, I was in love with Officer Doug James Penhall and that teenage ritual would literally foreshadow the pain and heartbreak I would endure watching the end of 21 Jump Street the movie... and I'm STILL compelled to buy it. If you haven't seen the movie yet, this post might come as a shock and should definitely be considered a spoiler for anyone readin...

Quite A Long Hiatus... But I'm Back!!!

What Happened???? I've been out of commission for a LONG time! Well... there's a story! Isn't there always??? Let me see if I can catch you all up quickly. So once upon a time..... the real estate market crashed, this girl lost her career and started a blog to help focus on the better times that she knew HAD to be coming. This blog helped distract, helped to focus and was an outlet for getting and doing things that money truly couldn't buy because she didn't have any to spend. During this time I learned that I was strong, I was resourceful and, most importantly, I was capable. But in looking back at this blog and the HUGE gap from my last post to today, I realized that I was grateful that I documented my journey and now wish I had never stopped. So, back to the first question... what has been happening? 1. I got my career back and actually landed my dream job. I have the UNBELIEVABLE honor of helping folks make their dre...

My New Adventure

I FINALLY got them!!!!! My new Spectrum Noir markers arrived yesterday!!! I'm super excited to be using these new alcohol ink markers and I'm even more excited for the privilege to play along with Spectrum Noir's design team!!! When I got the news that I had been accepted to the design team, I did a touch-down dance (seriously, I was like full-on in an end zone)... you can imagine how badly I wanted my hot little hands on these new toys. And at around half the price of other alcohol ink markers, I knew that this new habit was not going to break my bank. AND LOOK WHAT I DID WITH THEM. The images are from The Greeting Farm Sweet & Toxic set and the angel sentiment is from Tickled Pink Stamps. The colors that I used for the adorable little girl were: Hair - EB8, TN8, TN5 and CR2 Skin- FS1, FS4, FS9 and PP4 Dress - DR7, DR5, DR1, CR6 and IG1 The colors I used for the boy: Hair - EB6, TN5, TN2 Skin - IG's Jeans - TB4, TB2, BGR4 Shirt - ???
