Manicure Monday - The Little Mermaid Ariel Nail Art

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! We got home from a little family trip and are gone back out for a quiet week at the family cabin and I'm so looking forward to a week of rest and relaxation (or however much I can actually get with a toddler!)

For this month's #CBBxManiMonday theme we are going with Summer Lingo prompts and I picked "mermaid" for my nails this week! I have been wanting to do Ariel or Little Mermaid nails forever! 

Magical Self-Care Bath Night

I've talked a whole lot about self-care on here because I love to relax and take care of myself - I can have a pretty stressful job and crazy family stuff going on, so I have learned to take good care of myself! Self-care is different for everyone; but, these are the kinds of self-care that works for me!

I think with everything going on in the world right now, I'm not only looking for self-care; but, I'm also looking for a bit of an escape from reality! So, I've put together a few products that help with having a bit of an escape right in your own home!

Skincare Sunday - Small Batch Soaps Fall Shopping Haul!

I absolutely love finding new, amazing soap and bath goodies companies (because I can never have enough bath bombs!!!) and it's even better when they are Canadian companies! But seriously, I came across Small Batch Soaps on Instagram from a fellow blogger who posted a picture of their unicorn soap and I HAD TO HAVE ONE! Then, I scrolled through their instagram and needed one of everything so I placed an order ASAP! 

Small Batch Soap offers all vegan products made with natural ingredients, and are free of parabens, phthalates, preservatives and more! They are all handmade in small batches - this is truly a small, Canadian business! 

Manicure Monday - Best Recent Nail Art Looks!

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! So, I told myself that when I had a baby, I was always going to have girl time and paint my nails every week; but, finally this week I am going to eat my words! Little Elliott is teething so much and despite all the little teething toys, his favorite thing to chew on? Mommy's hand! So, I just can't put any fresh polish on these babies this week! I'm hoping by next week things improve and I can go back to normal! 

Since I haven't done a favorites post in a few months, I thought I would recap some of latest favorite nail art! 

PANDA NAILS!

Eeeek - how cute are these little pandas?! I love how they turned out (especially the thumb!) and they were surprisingly easy to do! You can check out my original post here! 

Manicure Monday - The Little Mermaid Nails!

I'm clearly sticking to a nail theme this month - mermaids! 

This manicure did not turn out as pretty as I was hoping for; but, I ended using a couple of products that I was really disappointed in and that resulted in a less than perfect mermaid look!
