I'm back.........................

I'm back in the saddle again.  Thank you Aerosmith for that line. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a die hard classic rock fan.

Thought for the day:  I watch a huge amount of you tube videos. These people are really talented. My issue is this: Is there really a need to use the word "like" in a video 33 times? It wasn't used to say something about a product. Example " I really like this foundation." It was used to say (here's another example) I think this lip gloss is like the perfect color for someone with fair skin. It's like totally s the perfect like no color lip color. I love this like shimmer it has and the like iridescence.  I know a billion people on the planet do this but seriously, why do you want to be like everyone else?  Be yourself and use words correctly. Sometimes I feel like I live on a planet of Valley Girls. And that was a correct use of the word "like."

Now that I've stepped off my soapbox, here's whats new with me.

 



After wearing acrylic nails for seven months and trashing them beyond recognition....I have nails!!!!!
Still short but they are 100% mine.  You must forgive my hangnails. I put lotion on my hands about 20 times a day but I can't get enough moisture in them. I've been using cuticle balm too and it has improved them but its still a challenge.  


The polish I have on today is from Zoya. it's called Dream. A beautiful dark blue with silver and iridescent glitter. It's so pretty. It reminds me of the sky at night. When you can see all the stars. 

If you are wondering what I used on my nails, I used Essie Grow Stronger, Nutri Nail Flex-Shield Nail Hardener and Burt's bees Lemon Cuticle Butter. The cuticle b utter I use every time I turn around. The other two I put on and wore it for three days. Then I would remove it and start again. 

So thats it for now.

Hope this information helps someone with nails that have been damaged by acrylics. 

As always I purchased these products with my own money.

Until next time.....

Thanks for stopping by.

Wishing you the very best Holiday season

Yes, I know it's been two months since my last post. My health issues have carried over for two months and I have been exhausted. I was finally feeling better and I lost someone very dear to me. When I was born. I was blessed with amazing parents, my Nana and my Aunt Wanda.  Wanda has always treated me like her own. I spent every minute of my childhood that I could at Wanda and Nana's house. It was home to me. My grandmother taught me how to iron, cook and sew among other things. I lost her when I was 11. Both parents passed away in 2003. Wanda was always there for me. She was like a second mom to me. She helped me with anything she could.  She babysat my six kids when I was a single parent going to school. She treated my kids like they were her own. She was an amazing woman. She worked at Grand Coulee Dam when it was being built, she traveled and she truly loved life. She was a Christian and she devoted her life to Jesus Christ. Back in July when I had surgery on my foo...

Hell's bells!!!!

Oops.... I didn't realize it had been two weeks since my last post. Since I apparently live in the new Arctic Circle, all I've had time to do is stay warm. My daughter has missed five days of school due to the weather. That's unheard of where I'm from. When I was in High School, I can't remember ever having a show day.  Maybe that was before Global Warming.  Who coul d tell. And is Global warming really a thing? Or is it something the Government made up to scare the Hell out of normal people like myself?  On that note....away we go.   This is the look I came up with for New Year's Eve. Did I go out? Nope. Did I have a Gourmet dinner party for 20 at  my home? Again, nope. I never do  things like have dinner parties. I just thought it was New Year's Eve-ish looking. Yes I know that isn't correct Grammar. And no, I don't care. If people can say "A'ight or turnt." I can say  Eve-ish. Get with the program teachers. Start teaching c...

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.......

Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr purr. If you watch the Big Bang Theory, you know where this comes from. I don't. But my daughter does. When I saw this polish on the Super Nails Etsy site, I had to get it for her. Me, being a cat lover, I had to get one for myself as well. Here is the link. https://www.etsy.com/shop/supernails This is a polish that has a sheer pink base. It is full of pink, grey and white tiny spots. It's not glitter, because it doesn't sparkle. The think that made me want to buy it is that it has white, pink and grey......kitty heads in it. I thought it was really cute. Let it begin: Base coat...check. Pro-Fx nail Concealer in Light/Medium. I don't know if I mentioned it but it come is Medium/Dark as well. One coat of this. Polish...check. If you aren't familiar with glitter type polish, it's applied differently than regular polish. For  me, the first coat is the base coat for the color. each following coat that I put on, I am pl...
