Manicure Monday - Bright Abstract Floral Nails

Happy Manicure Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! 

I received the Bio Sculpture polish as a PR sample

So, this week's manicure is one that I'm going to chalk up as "a manicure that looked better in my mind than on my fingers" - I was going for an abstract look with gold flowers in the middle, but they don't quite pop as much as I was hoping for! 

Five on Friday - April 29, 2022 ~ April 2022 Owlcrate Box, April Scratch Monthly Mani Kit, Elliott Turns 5 & Plants Vs. Zombies Party, Circus Night Out and New BunkBeds for E!

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all had a great week! It's nice to be back in Calgary and get back in to my regular routine here after a whirlwind between the cabin, Edmonton, and then a weekend of kids party! I was pretty exhausted so I'm going to take it easy this weekend!

I just received my April Owlcrate subscription and this month's theme is "Peek Behind The Curtain" - each month the book Owlcrate includes is signed by the author and comes with a note from the author as well. They often have special edition covers just for the box, and they seem to include a lot of exclusive items just for Owlcrate, which is so fun! As a bookworm, I have been loving this subscription! 

Five on Friday - October 22, 2021 ~ If The Shoe Fits Book Review, Jillian Harris x Joe Fresh picks, October 2021 Scratch Monthly Mani Kit, Calgary's Election, and Scribd Subscription

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a great week!

Time for another book review and I wanted this one to line up with the start of a new Bachelorette season this week, because it's an adult romance set around a reality t.v. dating show, and I loved it! If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy is a body positive twist on Cinderella - Cindy decides last minute to be a contestant on a dating show, very similar to The Bachelor and quickly becomes a favorite!  The characters in the book were so enjoyable and Julie's writing style always has my hooked to keep seeing what would happen next - this was the first book in a while I stayed up late reading!

Monthly Beauty Haul ~ August 2021

I always love these haul posts - it's a way to keep track of everything that I picked up every month. I don't always blog about everything I pick up (I try to), but if you ever spot anything in here that you really want me to talk about, let me know! 

Last year, I got a little crazy about trying to stick to a crazy budget and this year I'm just going to buy what I want and try and be reasonable about my purchases! 

I purchased everything on my own

Besame Ultimate Princess Celebration - Signature Compact Series ~ $169.00 CAN. Okay, I love the past Besame Sleeping Beauty products I've purchased - they are so stunning and the packaging is amazing. These are a very limited release - only 500 of each princess in production! Naturally, I had to pick up the Sleeping Beauty one (I tried for Ariel previously and it sold out before I could decide). These are released every two weeks on Tuesdays - the next on is Cinderella on September 7, so get ready if you want one! I will review this beautiful set soon! 

Manicure Monday - Lucky MMK Tiger Nail Wraps

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend - I was sick all weekend (not covid, got tested and results back all within the weekend), but I'm staying home today while I'm still not feeling 100%.

So, since I was feeling pretty terrible all weekend, I kept my nails pretty simple! But, I still love how they turned out - I feel like I can never go wrong using Scratch Monthly Mani kit nail wraps! They always look so lovely and are quick and easy to use!
