It is exactly the stripey situation I was talking about in my Punchlines Mani post; and BONUS the BF seems to really loves this top. He said to me that… View Post

Hi friends, it’s Monday and per usual I fall in love with the internet over and over again :). I’m trying to integrate a quote every week for you. I was having an internal problem in my head by trying to relate the image of choice to the quote plus making them relevant to the links and it was a mess (seriously hours of head time)…so now it will be structured more like a little bit of words to start… View Post

I was wandering around tumblr specifically for new nail blogs to read and found this gem called Little Nails and I am positively smitten!   I am a big big pro tiny nails situation.

So friends most of you know I celebrated a birthday recently… That is right! I turned the big 3-0 :D. I was really looking forward to turning 30; the journey of my 20’s has really felt long (in a good way).

I really do love a good card. My favorite kind of card is succinct, sweet and smart (you might know this from HERE).
