When your turkey nail art looks like poo…LITERALLY #NaBloPoMo

November 10, 2015 by Alisha 14 Comments

It’s that time of year when I attempt my pathetic hand at nail art. And each year they get sadder lol. But what stresses me out more is the fact that I’m not crafty at all and my girls love decorating for the holidays.

I have less than a month to get it together and that means I’ll have to get our sad Charlie Brown Christmas Tree out of the attic soon to decorate it. I swear if I didn’t have kids all I’d be doing is decorating the mantle with some holiday crap and call it a day. Now the little one wants the house decorated with lights all over the darn place. She’d be pretty happy if we had it set up like the Griswold’s!

Yea that’s NOT gonna happen! Now on to my Thanksgiving inspired turkey nail art. I always have these wonderful nail art ideas in my head and try to be optimistic that they will turn out perfect. I’m gonna let go of that dream and just be happy with whatever crazy looking nail art I end up with. LOL [Read more…]

Acid Wash Jeans Nail Art

October 26, 2015 by Alisha 18 Comments

Happy MANICure Monday! Since I’ve become ~~obsessed~~ interested in doing nail art the one thing I still can not master is doing gradient nail art. Ever. It always looks a hot mess and never what I’ve envisioned I want it to look like. So I gave it a try and after 3 attempts I got something that looked more like acid wash jeans than gradient! LOL

OMG, do you all remember acid wash jeans? I had a pair that zipped at the ankle from Guess and I loved them!!! I wish I could find a picture I know I took from my high school year book but my yearbook got lost. So if there are any Rough Riders from the class of 1991 (Washington, DC) please feel free to share if you find it! haha Since I couldn’t find my picture…this will have to do!

The week from Winter hell…and my nails!

February 20, 2015 by Alisha 44 Comments

So apparently when that darn rodent popped his head out and declared “6 more weeks of Winter suckers” he wasn’t playing! I live in the Nashville area and this by far has been one of the coldest, weirdest Winters I can recall in my 20 years of living here’s . It’s been in the single digits (and below) for overnight lows and snow/freezing rain/sleet hit us 3 times and one week! And to top it off one night we experienced cryoseism which is basically like an ice quake. Booms were going off that night and I just knew my house was cracking into pieces around me or ice sliding off the house and hitting the ground with tremendous force…nope, just Mother Nature. Which I why I’m calling it the week from Winter hell! hahaha

Speaking of Mother Nature, I’ve been in my house all week…with 2 kids…going crazy. I may just have to set up something like this in my front yard…LOL!

O’ Christmas Tree Nail Art

December 15, 2014 by Alisha 13 Comments

OMG can you all believe that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! I happy to announce that I finally put up our tree…well actually I went and purchased a new tree! I kinda forgot that I had thrown out the other one since it was on its last leg and when I went to the attic there was a big ol’ empty space where it used to be. Oops! I’m still feeling like Scrooge so I was more than happy to let my 5-year-old decorate the tree. She actually did a pretty good job if I don’t say so myself. And the best part of decorating the tree was that I got to unveil my absolute favorite purchase from Black Friday…a wine glass ornament! Yyyyyyaaaaasssss! [Read more…]
