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!

Now the good thing about being stuck inside is that I’m caught up on EVERY show ever made on EVERY channel, I’ve done my nails about 10 times and I’ve played with Barbies and play dough. LOL  A week ago I hosted a Jamberry party and have been having fun playing around with the nail wraps.  I had a sample of Sweet Nothings and wanted to experiment more before I get the goodies I ordered.

I LOVE how the accent finger came out and can’t wait for warmer weather so I can try these out when I do a pedicure.  I had some on during Valentine’s Day and they lasted for almost 2 weeks.  Might have lasted even longer but I was tired of the design since I’m so used to changing out my color so much each week.  Have any of you tried Jamberry before?  What did you think?  If you would like to try them out, please visit my friend Hillary’s Facebook Fan Page as well as her Jamberry site!

Linking up this week with my girl Jenni!

    That Jamberry wrap is so pretty!! And two weeks of wear is freaking awesome! Your post totally had me giggling, too. This winter has been the absolute pits. I’m sure if you ever play Barbie’s again, it’ll be too soon. Haha! I’m psyched to see the other wraps you ordered! And I’ll be on the lookout for a Slap A Snowman Stand. Totally worth the price. 😉

    I’m really missing the winter season since I’m in the Middle East. I’d love to have a week of snow, boots, and times in front of the fire place.

    I’m also digging the nail accent. I’ve tried applying them once and man ‘o man was it crocked.

    Yes smack a snowman! lol Its soooo cold. I can’t take it but I say this probably every Febuary. Love how you did one nail with the wrap. I like doing nail art but sometimes its hard to sit still and wait for them to try.

      Carra I love using Sally Hansen’s quick dri polish to get them to dry super fast! And the nail wraps were aweseome since you can just apply and go!

    Haha, that comic is perfect. I guess it would be rude to tell you right now that we haven’t even had ANY snow this winter and the weather here (in Oregon) has been like an early Spring lately? Sunshine and 60-70’s! Well, usually it rains so much I’m whining about that, but everything stays green. In February it usually snows at least once but not this year! I don’t mind that, though. It’s only around Christmas I want the snow, but we never get it. Okay, I’m done babbling. :p

    I have yet to try Jamberry but I really want to!

    Oh my gosh, ice quakes!!! That’s crazy, I hope that you haven’t had any property damage from falling ice. And I hope the winter relaxes sometime soon, because Boston has officially run out of places to put all of this snow!! I LOOOOVE your accent nail here – what a beautiful print!

    Unfortunately, this weather is normal in the Mid Atlantic area, however, enough is enough – time to move on to Spring.
