Today we finally see what I wore for myself on Christmas Day.  I had most of these manis I've shown you done over Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year's break.  I still have seven stored ready to go, I just need to type the posts that go along with them. I'm sure most of you know of More Nail Polish either via her blog or Instagram.  She has 110,000 or so followers on IG.  It's amazing for sure.  I'm quite jealous LOL.  Cathy if you're reading this, how often do you do your nails? Is it every day, several times a day? Inquiring minds want to know.  Anywho, b ..read more

I am working my way through a new meditation app.  It's called the Waking Up app.  It's done by Sam Harris.  He has a dreamy voice that's for sure.  Besides the daily meditations, he has what he calls lessons.  The ones I've done so far are pretty damn thought provoking. The lesson he calls Free Will is especially freaky.  In it he says that the reality is, we have no free will even though we think we do. Let's get deep people. What he says is that we didn't pick our parents, we didn't pick the environment that we grew up in, that we didn't pick our genes or pi ..read more

Today is one of those mani for me days.  One where I choose colors just for me.  Usually, I try to rotate shades and do holos if the sun is out.  This day I wanted my favorite color brown. Yes I know it's weird I love brown. I've officially found and hired what I hope to be a good petsitter who will be around for awhile.  She does this on the side, so not dependent on petsitting for income so hopefully won't stop doing it for a long time.  So Myrtle Beach in February here I come! Yeah I know, I took a week off.  I started this post last weekend and just had not ..read more

Did I tell you what I got myself for Christmas? I bought it during the Sephora Fall 20% off VIB sale. It's the Foreo (pronounced 4, 0h) UFO device.  I also got all the masks that go with it.  Let me just say that I love this thing and need to use it more often.  It's like I'm saving it for some reason. This device is touted as a sheet mask done in ninety seconds.  It has red light, green light and blue light as well as heat, cooling and Tsonic pulsations.  So depending on which mask you choose, the combo of heat/light etc is programmed. For example, yesterday I did t ..read more

It seems that the videos I added to my recent posts aren't working, so I've removed them for now.  It worked in the past, but not now.  I'll have to look into it as I like to show you guys the rainbows. I'm seriously thinking of revamping my blog.  I'm a bit tired of the green.  Because of this, I've just spent the past hour researching other nail art blogs and websites that list the "best" nail art blogs. So so many of them are no longer posting.  I'm talking the great ones (IMO) from the past when nail art blogging was huge.  Like 2012-2016 or so. I'm talking ..read more

Back in November, I started looking for a new petsitter.  I could not find anyone willing to come to where I live nor was there anyone local.  I told you that was why I didn't get home for Christmas this year.  I found someone who told me that of course she would do it if I couldn't find anyone for my February Myrtle Beach trip.  She quoted me $17 per visit. I think I told you in a previous post about this that she was thirty minutes away. Fast forward to now.  I messaged her telling her that I hadn't been able to find anyone else and was she still able to sit for me ..read more

Got the tunes going.  Today's jam is the Doors Greatest Hits.  Hello I love you........ Just a quick update-my blog has been repaired.  Commenting system is back.  So please comment away.  Let me know if you see other issues.  Let me know you're still out there reading this.  I'd hate to just be talking to myself, even though I usually am just talking to myself! Today's topic shall be the ever frustrating online dating. Yes people, I'm still at it.  Been since 2012ish?  Nowadays, it's more for kicks and content than me actually believing I will fi ..read more

Today I am telling you the story of how I fixed my own leaky faucet.  Something my dad had showed me once how to do, but never got a chance to do it myself with his help. So I turned to the ever faithful YouTube and looked for a how-to.  I actually found several that had the same exact faucet that I had.  For some reason, I was thinking that I wouldn't find the same set up. Anywho, I watched the videos a couple of times, I went to Home Depot to get the supplies needed. Finally the time came for me to fix my own leaking faucet.  Something I had literally lived with for yea ..read more

My first post of the New Year has gone up.  My designer has messaged me so will have commenting system back shortly.  I have finished my house decluttering and cleaned the crap out of my fish tank yesterday.  Now I need to work on the outside.  Raking, cleaning etc.  How about another work story for you? I know some of you out there live for them.  This is one that's months in the making and had just come to fruition.  Back in time, not even a year ago, us navigators were interviewing someone new.  This person was from another state and was telling us ..read more

I mentioned that I wasn't able to go home for Christmas this year.  I actually have been super busy decluttering and cleaning the crap out of my house.  I've been living here since 2002 and don't think I've ever cleaned and organized the way I have recently. What started it all, was a YouTuber named Matt D'Avella.  Besides his being dreamy, he is a Minimalist.  He got rid of most of his stuff and only keeps cherished items.  I'm certainly not saying I'm converting, but, I am kind of trying to be better about stuff.  This year I want to really save more money and ..read more
