Today’s post is a whole bunch of random, but sometimes that’s exactly how I like it. It’s Friday, the weekend is almost here, so let’s make this quick.
One. There’s a never ending struggle between wanting my nails painted and actually wanting to paint them. This is probably the most put off task for me. I mean, it’s so much work! I always ending up applying too many coats, they never dry, I smudge them when I think they’re finally dried, and then they chip a few hours later. What’s the secret to this? Because I’m pretty sure I’ll never be a routine nail keeper upper.
Two. Have you seen the new MacBook? If not, you should go look now, because it’s gold and it’s everything a gold lover could dream of. The only problem is that it only has one port on it, and that’s a new USB C port that most of us probably aren’t even using yet. ONE port. Apple, you’re drunk! And that price tag is no bueno. But gold, y’all.
Three. My essential oil collection is expanding and it’s making my inner hippy heart oh so happy. Chris calls it my VooDoo magic, but he’s not a hater. He’s seen these precious oils work when they fixed his back pain he’s been dealing with for over a month now! If you struggle with stress, anxiety, low energy, aches and pain, weight loss, and literally anything, there’s definitely an oil for you! If you’re interested in learning more, shoot me a message! It can be overwhelming for those first getting started, but I love sharing the beauty of these oils.
Four. The big St. Patty’s celebration in Dallas is this weekend. I’ve heard it’s kind of a big deal out here and this girl is missing Mardi Gras right about now. I’m always down for a good parade and street party, so I can’t wait to see how Dallas does it! Dallas people out there, is the parade fun or do y’all just go to the afterparty? Any tips are appreciated!
Five. I’ve had the same bottle of wine in my fridge for over a month now and that’s basically unacceptable. That’s got to be a record, right? What’s the longest a bottle has lasted at your home?

AN ALL GOLD MACBOOK! OMG I WANT IT. Seriously, these are things I need…right? I had a bottle of beer, like one of the big growlers, for like, 4 months….I'm embarrassed
Ginny Williams says
Obsessed with that MACBOOK. Gorgeous. Just paint your nails two coats and check back in a few days. Thats what I do. And usually by then it's still looking good- I'll give it a fresh up. I paint my nails all the time and I usually only "have to do it" twice a week. It's not bad. While they dry, I blog or do typing stuff so the time will pass by faster and I wont notice 🙂

I am so with you on nails. it's such a struggle! I'll be on Greenville tomorrow!! hope to see you there!
Kari Guastella says
I love that glitter nail polish! I too hate doing my nails. I usually end up just trying to keep them neutral and decent in between manicures.

Those Essie colors are gorgeous! I am the same as you on painting my nails, it takes me forever and I almost always nick or smudge them! That gold Macbook, so gorgeous!
Kati Rose @ Constantly Seeking Wonder says
I was about ready to run out to the Apple store and buy the new Macbook when I was it was a pretty gold and so small, but then I realized it only had one port. Why would you do that Apple? Dumb. You won't be getting my money (on this product at least.)
Hill says
I paint my nails once a week, two coats plus a top coat. If it's a really light color, like a pale pink, make your first coat white, then one coat of the color plus the top coat. Do them when you know you'll be sitting down for awhile like when you're watching a movie or doing your blogging.

GOLD MACBOOK?? Too bad the price makes me wanna cry 🙁

My key to painting my nails in the least stressful way possible. Two coats of polish, three if it's looking a little rough. Clean the edges with 100% acetone and a teeny tiny make up brush… like one you would use for eyeliner or a little bigger… E.L.F. has a great one. Then use either Seche Vite top coat or Essie Good to Go top coat. The prices are comparable and they both dry your nails and I mean dry them SUPER fast! I've also found that cheaper nail polishes tend to last longer and not chip as opposed to OPI and Essie 🙁 Hope this helps!
