Back when I used to review products, I tried to select things that I would use beyond the initial review. This tag tracks when an item sent for review is used. To see only the initial reviews, check out the review tag.
Beach Kitties
It kinda feels like I’m heading into summer nail art a little early since today’s cat nail art is set on the beach and the new MxM box is Pool Party themed. It’s fine. Can’t let my cats fall too far behind the birds, right? I painted this nail art Read More
Crazy Plant Lady
It’s amazing this first year in the new house, watching the efforts of the gardeners before me continue to unfold. There are some plants I am super excited about, a lot of bushes that need to be trimmed back when they’re done blooming, and so much more planning and learning Read More
A Yarn Love Story
Happy Valentine’s Day! While I much prefer the sales on China’s Singles Day, the nail art for this holiday is much prettier.

Call Me! XOXO

Sloppy Hibiscus Pond – Born Pretty jelly review
This isn’t an official review. Born Pretty did not send me these polishes for review. But I bought four of them during the Singles Day sale and I thought I’d use them together in a quick (and sloppy) mani to see how they worked. So this is very rainbow and Read More
