Kristofer’s Nail Fail ;)
Because Kristofer is leaving me for the next 10 days (yes, I’m counting!), I wanted to take today to rave about how awesome he is. He plays Draw Something with me into the wee hours of the night, until I’m tired enough to fall asleep first. I’m never thirsty when he’s around (not because of…

Buffalo BBQ Wings
So there’s this delicious Florida restaurant called Gator’s Dockside and they make amazing grilled wings in their own “scooter sauce”. It’s bbq and honey garlic heaven! (And I am not a bbq sauce fan.) Unfortunately, we don’t have a Gator’s Dockside location in my home town. Heading over to our own local restaurant, my dad and I…

Banana Ice Cream
A week ago (not so much now) I was reading a bunch of ‘healthy food’ ideas and feeling pretty taken in by the idea! So, reading about guiltless, homemade ice cream really caught my attention!

Turqouise & Glitter Nails
I have to admit, I really love my turquoise & glitter design! Fatal flaw? It is nearly impossible to get off your nails! I applied three thin coats of my Essie Turquoise & Caicos, then fairly generous amounts of my Luxe Effects Set in Stone (though again in thin coats). It seemed thicker at the…

Here we are again, back with our lemonade series. YUM. I’m getting excited for tomorrow! I’ve told my mother I’ll go over to her house for the cook out, but not before I’ve spent some well-deserved time cleaning my apartment. Gee, I don’t even like cleaning and I’m excited for it.

Musician Ludovico Einaudi: Dietro Casa

He performed in the United States last October, I believe, but unfortunately I was unable to attend. I’ll find another way. :)…

On my first nail shopping trip (remember that time I spent 120 perfectly good dollars on a new load of nail supplies?), I bought both a gold and bronze color, to attempt recently pinned Mixed Metals from TheBeautyDepartment. TBD uses two shades of gold, but I wanted a little more clash in my colors, so…
