First of all, happy International Women’s Day from me and the Coywolf! Here are a few inspiring stories of women making a difference in our world today.
Much less interestingly, all of the awesome Revlon black hair elastics I started using a while back have disappeared into the mysterious black hole located inside my house, so I went to Target to replace them and found these…
SERIOUSLY! They’re huge. I don’t know if they’ll be able to handle my mane, but we shall see. Side note: I wonder what Jason Momoa thinks of them, ha ha ha!
Lastly, I desperately need to paint my nails! Having my nails done always makes me feel like I’ve got my sh*t together and makes the world around me seem less chaotic. (Am I the only one?) Gonna try out this new brand by Sally Hansen called Mega Strength.
How are you (and your nails) doing on this beautiful Friday? What’s new?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. TGIF! ?
I painted my nails pink last night and then I unintentionally put on a pink shirt today (and have pink underwear on but that’s TMI) so I must have subconsciously knew it was International Women’s Day!
Happy International Women’s Day to you and the coywolf! My nails are currently naked and a mess. I just ordered a bunch of polish from KL Polish and will be putting some bright cheerful colors on soon! The winter is always hard on my nails. They become so brittle and break so much easier.
Happy International Women’s Day! Well done with that – I have a hard time remembering the traditional holidays so I would never have know about this without you. 🙂 My nails have some remnants of Madamoiselle that I need to remove and reapply for my trip next week (where I’ll be eating my weight in pasta. thanks, Bolonga). HAHA! Have a fab weekend and totally agree on the TGIF!
Happy International Women’s Day! Black hair elastics are a necessity for me. When I’m at home, I have to have my hair out of the way. I have to keep a close eye on them, because Louis loves to bat them around and nom on them. Last thing I need is for him to eat one!
I really need to do my nails too. I’d like to treat myself to a mani at the local salon for a bit of pampering. 🙂
Happy Friday!
Love that new Sally Hansen Mega Strength. I use just 2 coats of color, no base or top coat and it lasts 5-7 days. I also has really helped by peeling sad nails get back in shape. Constant hand washing, typing at work and cold weather have played havoc on my hands. In my experience Mega Strength lives up to its name.
Happy Women’s Day- (isn’t that everyday?!?!?)
Happy International Woman’s Day to you too !
Connor Claire is getting big indeed .
I had my mani / pedi done by Hannah yesterday . Went w the French ; it goes w everything.
Have a wonderful Friday !
That picture of you with Connor warmed my heart…perfect for today! On the subject of hair ties-i love the round ones with the flexible bungi type. Holds buns&ponytails great& doesn’t damage thick hair.
Happy International Women’s Day to you and coywolf! She’s so cute!
My nails, I’m happy to say, are looking pretty darn great. I had a doctor appt yesterday morning that I was angsty about so I got a long overdue mani afterwards. Some sort of OPI pink. It’s very celebratory.
I then went to a matinee after–haven’t gone to see a weekday movie by myself in years. I saw Rebel Wilson’s new one–Isn’t it Romantic–I think. Super cute.
I just did my nails – I too feel much more in charge of my life when my nails are done too, and I much need to get that feeling back at the moment.
Happy International Womans Day from my daughter and me to you two too!
Happy international women’s day to you and Connor Claire! We had a few nice events at work today, and more throughout Women’s History Month.
My nails are naked and too long LOL! I need to clean them up.
Happy International women’s day back at ya! My nails are bright royal blue with large chunky glitter but desperately need redone. It’s been almost 3 weeks yikes!
But can we talk about your hair in the photo…. it is EVERYTHING! I love that chunky braid into the ponytail! You should do a tutorial!
Hi everyone just found your blog and love it. I too do my own nails my problem is my nails r always breaking or peeling because of my six autoimmune diseases. The latest one being Addison’s disease and it’s so hard on my nails I find I get nail fungus a lot because that’s a symptom but hoping it will be gone soon and stay gone. I’m also celiac so I need brands that have no gluten or soy. My fav is Essie both kinds opi quo breathable. But def want to try the one u just mentioned my nails r getting better now that I trim and file away the broken bits and do my nails once a week and use coconut oil to rub in before I apply my Essie apricot oil love love love this stuff lol. Than I look at my colour charts I know it’s so I don’t have to try five colours to figure out what I want lol. I used one by quo it’s pink with small gold shimmers it’s so so pretty. Keep doing what u do love what I have read so far.
