You guys!!
A huge sparkle veiny-faced unicorn (seriously WTF is up with that unicorn’s face?) thanks to all of you for the sweet comments and emails after my head exploded the other day. Things are still going to be a little hectic, but the initial shock and drama of the situation is over. I’ve always been a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so I’m sure that there is some grand plan in all this for everyone involved.
I’d fill you all in more on what happened, but I don’t really feel right doing that because it’s not entirely my story to share. Just know that we’re all alive and healthy over here.
And I do apologize for the emotional roller coaster when I posted that picture of a horrible exploding head and then a picture of an adorable Baby G in a bag. Sometimes I forget that, like, everyone else on the planet has a more sensitive gag-o-meter than I do.
It’s all sparkles and Baby Gs over here today!
So that didn’t take long, did it? I didn’t even give anyone a chance to miss me.
Anyway, speaking of veiny unicorns (?), this particular one reminded me of one of my new obsessions. I have my stylish sister-in-law, and favorite, fab blogger Hayley over at Deals, Steals, & Heels to thank for this one.
The shade is called Turquoise & Caicos and OMG how freakin’ appropriate is it that I got married in TURKS & Caicos just this past February!? The love affair between this nail polish and myself was meant to be. Like Toilet Whore, I only wish I had known about it pre-wedding; it would have been the perfect color on my nails that day.
Pretty, yes? It was also probably one of the least messy self-manicures I’ve ever pulled off. It’s been WAY too long since I’ve gone to a professional. (If you saw my cuticles, you might not want to be friends with me anymore.)
When was the last time you had your nails done? What color do you normally go for?
Also just a quick thing because a couple people have been asking about it…my Etsy is open! There isn’t a whole lot going on in there right now, but it’s a start. You can visit it by either clicking on my shop logo below, or the little Etsy dohickey thing in my right sidebar.
And because I have bragging rights this week, I might as well also mention that I (barely) won the first throwdown over on Sugar & Salt. The recipe I used was tremendous, so I would suggest to anyone who loves chocolate chip cookies to try that one at home. Just make sure you cut the recipe in half, unless you are part of the Duggar family.
Whew! This blog was kind of all over the place today. Sort of like my brain. Now if you will excuse me, I’m off to tackle the 200+ blogs in my reader.

Real life has such a pesky way of invading on one’s bloggy life. But you know what? That’s OK.
Hope everything is OK with you. You are precious.

Glad things are coming around. Cute polish! I think I might have to try that on my toes. I have acrylic nails so I get mine done all the time. But I love them. I usually just have a french manicure and then fun toes!

So glad to hear things are okay. And the nail color looks awesome. I have an odd aversion to having my nails done, but if I didn’t, I’d so go with that color.

What a fun color! I NEVER do my nails… the polish never dries & so it pisses me off when they dent. I do do my toes often though. I love fun bright colors.

I haven’t had a pedicure in a year and I haven’t had a manicure in two years. I’m basically Shrek. Or maybe a hobbit. I keep meaning to do my own toes so I look better in sandals, but it’s not really very fun to do yourself.
It’s awesome that you have Etsy sales already! And I see that my sister is stalking your shop. (So am I.)

Love the nail polish! Color depends on the mood! That is all I can say about that.
I dropped by your etsy shop! I must, must, absolute must have that owl necklace. I need to find a way to get that money to you.
My American partners are still in the country. They are leaving around the 8th of August and come back early in September. I will see if I can arrange something with them. Cause I must get that necklace. And I want to give one away also.

I love that color! I normally get my nails done professionally because I bite them. I love bright colors, but often go with basic black to feed my inner goth. Ha!

I love that polish! Turks and Caicos sounds blissful…Hubby and I were just looking at visiting there for our 10th anniversary next year.
Now I am craving some chocolate chip cookies. Hmmmm I wonder what it will take to get the hubby to make me some? I am glad that all is better in your world!
