Do you wanna build a snowman?

December 1, 2014 by Alisha 14 Comments

Happy first day of December! I decided that since it’s officially “let’s get ready for Christmas” month I would try my hand at Winter and Holiday nail art. Now as you all know I am by NO means an artist or professional when it comes to my nail art. Unfortunately Instagram and Pinterest give me delusions of grandeur and I have these preconceived visions in my mind that my nail art will look exactly like the inspiration pictures. Every now and then I get a win. And when that happens I look just like this:

Now last week my poor little turkey nail art looked more like a “turdkey” to me than anything. I know most of you were being kind with your comments, but trust me that brown blob looked crazy. LOL Now on the other hand when my nail art is more of a “fail” that excitement and celebration tends to be more like this:

Mary J Blige – The London Sessions

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of attending a screening of MJB’s documentary The London Sessions during the Blogalicious conference in San Antonio, TX. I had a chance to see another side of MJB that just blew me away and made me an even bigger fan. Do y’all remember What’s The 411?

There are the songs that make you want to get up and start dancing and then the ones where it’s like she is singing a song that was made for you. My favorite track from her album is Whole Damn Year.
