maybe? just sometimes......

Good morning y'all!  I just wanted to let u know that I have a blog I am working on for #thankfulthursday, I am so sorry it hasn't been published yet, but, it's from the heart and I want to make sure it's completely done before I publish.  I don't do a ton of "spiritual" or "religious" post.....I know it is a touchy subject, but......sometimes, its what I need at the moment.  Ya know??  sometimes its just a good way for me to reflect and a good way for my relationship to grow between me and Heavenly Father.  BUT I also know the Spirit works through us in ways that it does help others while it's helping us!!  lol  Funny how everything has a purpose......wouldn't you say!!!??  It is a cold dreary day here in Ga and I am not sure if Ill have anything to do for a #subscriptionboxsaturday (unless my jamberrys come today, fingers crossed!) But, how about a #spiritualsaturday?

*disclaimer*  Anything I post religious, Please.......I don't claim I know everything, nor am I a scholar in any way.  I am not a preacher and I am not trying to convert u into my religion (unless u feel in ur heart that u want to learn more) wink wink.

I just wanna share some of the things I feel and go through as an individual, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend in my everyday life experiences and/or challenges.  Or to maybe look deeper into the mind of someone who deals with multiple mental illnesses on a daily basis?  Dont get me wrong!  This will NOT be my everyday posts!  Ill continue with my usual subscription boxes, beauty, deals, and my adorable grandson......but, once in awhile, maybe this??

Anyhoo, comment......let me know what y'all think!!  Are y'all even interested in it??  I love y'all!!  I'll have a finished post soon! Stay warm and stay blessed!!!!!

my cozy lil set up for my Saturday

Muahs!!!

#wonderfulwednesday a few nail reviews

Yes! Yes!!  It is that time!!!!  Wonderful Wednesday!!!  Only thing is.......Most the issues I'm gonna talk about aren't very wonderful at all!!!! I hate negative blogs, but, if it saves you on wasting money and time on anything!!  I gotta just do it!  Just let y'all know! Id hope for the same thing from y'all!!  I know us moms, or in my case, Mimis'  Have NO TIME that can be wasted!!  Right??!!

I do wanna start with a little positive/ cuteness!!!  Here is the not so wonderful first, the weather here in Ga right now is CRAZY!!  Yall hear me??  Crazy!!  Like, freezing!!  Yesterday was cold, but not to bad.  We took a walk together!!  Had to just get out of the house a min!!  Cabin Fever maybe??  Anyhow, I caught this really cute picture yesterday.  Its my grandson chasing my son!!  I swear my grandson ran the whole walk!! lol

 

Yes, I did get to rock my cute heart sunglasses too!!  I think the sun peeked for maybe......10 mins!  I have decided I am hibernating until spring now!!  The temps right now are cold and its only gonna get colder!  NOOOOO, i need a safe word!!!!! PINEAPPLES!!!!

I also have to ask, why does time seem to go faster the older you get???  Last year at this time, my grandson was this adorable hunk of bald headed fat......

Now he is this independent, potty going, runs everything, BIG BOY!!!!!  Please!! Slow down time!

* I am super excited about this table he is sitting at!!  My g ma, who passed back in Sept., This was her table!!  I ate at this table when I was my grandsons age!!  That's 37 years this table has been in my family!!  I am so thankful I was given the opportunity to have this in my home.*

now to what my blog is really gonna  be about

As y'all now, from my previous post (here)  I am super excited that I finally got me some Jamberry nail wraps ordered!!  I got to try them about a month ago! Fell in absolute love!!!! <3  Last month I wasn't able to budget in an order so, I did the alternative!!  (plus I was wanting to test out the competition!!!!!)

The first thing I tried was the Sally Hansen  Polish strips!!

Super cute design, was really Loving the gold  snake skin look!!   Anyhow, My grandson opened the box so, when I tried to use them.....they didn't even stick to my nails!!  UGH!!  How Annoying!!!  I was so excited to try it and didn't even get to wear them!! BOO!!  I don't know if it had something to do with them being opened or what??

Next, I found a few different brands and designs on sale that I thought Id try...

ok, the second edge one was the first I tried......

super funky and super cute!!  They were easy to apply, and believe it or not......they lasted a whole 3 days!!!!!!!!  not to bad for 2.50 lol, but, I do wish they had a smaller size on this sheet!  If you look at my pinky nail, it is a little large around my nail bed!

The next set were super cute!!!!!

I did these for date night!!  Same way to apply as the rest!!  These had a few more sizes to choose from! yay!!  As soon as I went to leave, they were already peeling off!!!! BOO! By the time I got home.....

The next ones I tried I was hoping they were transparent.  I really was wanting to put them over this pretty orchid color I had bought!

See??  SOOO cute!!  Since I couldn't use them over the color, I used my orchid as accent nails!  They turned out really cute! And they even matched my laptop!!  They were easy to apply, but, if you look at my pointer finger in the picture above, it didn't apply as clean as the others!  I went to bed and woke up this morning just to find this......

 

(sorry for the funky lines! My new case on my iPhone is messing with the flash!) Anyhow, two had fallen off in my sleep and my thumb nail was almost peeled completely off too!!  That really sucks because I really loved the lace design on these strips!!!!!!!  All in all,

So, I do believe I will continue to use Jamberry wraps!!  Once I receive my full sheets, Ill do a day by day picture to show how well they hold up!!!!  KK???

Hope Your #wonderfulwednesday was a blessed one!!!!

MUAHS!!!

#TerrificTuesday

Good Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So, about a month ago, I did a review on Jamberry Nail wraps!!!!  If you wanna read my personal review, go here.  Anyhoooooo, I have been wanting to order me some since I've done this review and guess what!! Last night, after 2 days of searching for the ones I love, I FINALLY got me 3 ordered!!!  With Jamberry, as always......if you buy 3 you get the 4th free!!  So, I have 4 sheets coming to me!!  AND, my beautiful hostess also closed out the party with another free sheet if ordered before midnight last night!! yay!!  I LOVE freebies!!!  I don't know what that sheet will be but, I'll share what I ordered and why! lol

The first sheet I ordered is called reggae a go go

Don't judge!!  I LOVE Bob Marley and this totally shows that!!  I love the funkiness to these!!  Another selling point is the fact that all the designs are graphically different as well!!

To tone it down a bit, I next ordered these called faded deco

Faded Deco is the pretty one to the left!!  While making my decisions on which ones I wanted, I was trying to be practical as possible!!  I want the most out of the wraps I chose!!  This one is sooo pretty and springy as well! These will be totes cute as a full set or to even use a color combo like above!!  I can use these as accent nails with regular polish too!!

this next set is called love spell

I have been wanting these since before valentines day!  due to certain circumstances I wasn't able to order these until last night!!  But, you know what??  That's OK because I am pretty sure I can rock these anytime!!!  I love the fact, once again, that its not just one design!!  It has a few to be able to mix and match this manicure!!  I am soooooo excited about these!!

My last set I ordered are called shake ya tail feather

How stinking adorable!!!  My thoughts with these are def gonna be perfect accent nails!!!!  I don''t think I am gonna be able to do a full set with these(may seem a little much for my taste)  But.....something like this is perfect......

these will also be perfect for a spring pedicure!!!!

I know many people will think Jamberrys are kind of pricey, but, look at the breakdown........

I mean, come on ladies......when I'd go to the salon, I'd pay pretty close to 50.00 on a mani/pedi!!  Then if I got cool designs and or stones and stuff, the price continued to add up.  Then, I'd be back in 2 weeks to get a fill in and at best, that would be another 15.00 (just for the nail fill in!!  That's not counting if I got my toes redone)  I don't know about y'all, But, I am disabled and and on a fixed income and that money eventually became too much for me.. That's what got me into doing my own nails and nail art.  But, I am not a professional and most of the time.......Id only get one hand done.  With my bipolar, sometimes I didn't fill like waiting on polish to dry, or I just ran out of patience with it!!!  Once I tried jamberry's, it was over!!  Easy to apply, saves money, perfect matching designs every time, and best of all......NO DRY TIME!!!!

I am thinking of becoming a consultant as well.....so! If you are interested in trying these wraps, let me know!!!  Id like to see if anyone would get these before I commit to selling! So, comment!!!   Give me ur personal opinion!! Once u try them, I just know you will LOVE them!!!  And there are 300+ designs to choose from!!

I hope y'all have a great Tuesday!! stay blessed!!!

Muahs!!

A few cheap finds

Good Morning!!!! How are y'all this morning??  I am pretty good.  Just listening to music this morning.  Sometimes with my bipolar and stuff, I get into these moods were I don't wanna be messed with.  Withdraw from others sometimes.  I am not in the completely isolated mood as of right now, but, no kids are up and its quiet.  Sitting at the table, listening, reading, writing, always a good therapy!!

First off......CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

Anyhow, I got a couple of things this past week that I thought were total steals and I was gonna share with y'all!

First thing I got at Walmart.  Let me first say this about Walmart......my personal opinion!!  OK??  I remember when I used to get picked on growing up if I wore anything Walmart, but you know what??!!  Walmart is ridiculously priced! I mean, their no name shoes are almost as much as a pair of Nike's at the mall!!  Same goes with their clothes nowadays.  I'd much rather spend a little more for something that is made to last a little longer then Walmart things!

BUT, If you're into statement pieces for your outfit.......Walmart carries them for like 10 bucks!!  Some of these pieces are super adorable!!  I found this piece on clearance for only 3.00!! Which, is a STEAL!!!!!  Look how adorable this is!

So cute!!!!  Right!??  They had others too but, this one matched my outfit perfectly for date night!!  

The next thing I found were these adorable sunglasses!!  OK, who watches "party down south"?  I admit it!!! I do!! Of course I'm not feeling the cast of the 2nd one as much as the originals. BUT there is a cast member named raven, aka Barbie and she always has on these adorbs sunglasses!!!!

 



I swear she has these in every color!!!  And I am not gonna lie, I used to not like her at all.....shhhhhhhh!!  But, she has grown to be one of my faves!!!! lol ANYHOOO

How stinking cute!!! And they were only $2.00!!! SCORE! winner winner chicken dinner!!!!!!

yes, I am in my pj's, no.....it doesn't matter cause it doesn't concern u!!! ha-ha!!! really cute glasses for only 2 bucks though!!  

So, I just wanted to share that with y'all!! I'm frfr about checking out those statement pieces from Walmart!!  They are totally worth the money!!  And the glasses, sorry y'all, they came from a local place here in my town!!

Let me get back to my music and start checking my beautiful social media! lol

Love y'all!! Until next time!!! BBBBYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Ps, enjoy your #SundayFunday

Muahs!
