I actually painted my nails last week! It's probably the first time this year ( Read more... )

Last Thanksgiving the whole Harvey family got together and I brought my nail stamping supplies. I stamped designs on my 3 nieces' nails, and they were so excited about it that I put together a stamping kit as a gift for them. These supplies and directions are great for anyone starting out with nail stamping, so I wanted to share them here for ( Read more... )

I have so many recipes that I took photos of, and then they sat around forever in my "To Blog" folder. There are at least 15+, and some are as old as 6 months, or even 1 year! I really need to kick myself in the butt and start posting them ( Read more... )

This year I mostly got money for my birthday, which is not a normal occurrence! I thought it would be fun to round-up the different things I spent it on to show you some of the stuff I am loving right now.

How was everyone's Thanksgiving break? We had a productive, stressful, & also a fun week off. The first weekend the house got a much needed cleaning & we knocked off a few to-dos.

Recently our car remote (keychain fob) stopped unlocking the car. It was pretty bad because the locking button still worked, but if you lock the car with the remote & unlock it with the key it sets off the car alarm! (There is also no keyhole on the passenger side.) We were not eager to shell out big bucks for a new one, so I searched online and ( Read more... )

I bought some iridescent white glitter when we made snowglobes for Christmas, and while we were working with the glitter I kept thinking, "I want to coat my nails in this!" I finally got around to using it and the results were very pretty!

I was painting my nails over the weekend & had to do something for the holiday! I was thinking of doing a gold base with rainbow glitter on a few nails, but then I remembered the gold glitter polish I got in my Christmas stocking. I'm not usually a big gold fan, so this was a great excuse to use some up.
