The 38 Best Holiday Nails to Close out the Year
Getting your nails done is one of those things that gives a woman a little sumthin sumthin, you know what I mean? There’s nothing like having a fresh manicure, whether it’s acrylic, gel, powder or even press on nails. You can be so creative and this holiday I would challenge you to really get into the spirit of the holidays and try some fun colors or designs.
The Ultimate 65 – Etsy Holiday Gift Guide
Etsy is one of my favorite websites in the world. Besides having the best gifts for yourself or for friends and family, you’re supporting makers and artisans from around the world which is something that is near and dear to my heart. Anything I’ve gotten compliments on and asked “where did you get that” is almost always from Etsy.
Holiday Gift Guide – 50 Stocking Stuffers You’ll Want to Give this Holiday
Stockings are my jam, meaning I’m particularly good at coming up with great stocking stuffers. A lot of people are always stumped as to what to put in a stocking and I say anything goes really. Just try to be creative. I tend to go by a few rules if you’re interested. Number one is that of course it’s small enough to fit in a stocking. Number two is to keep the costs down or it can get really pricey. There’s plenty of places to get inexpensive gifts, you just have to take your time and search. The trick is to keep the gifts thoughtful and special for each person.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
