Happy Little Snowmen

Happy Tuesday Loves,

Hello my friends.  I hope you are well and life is treating you well!  I've been okay, been busy taking Mom to follow up appointments for her ankle and helping her in other ways, taking care of the cats and that's been about it.  Not much new around here other than that. We did go to hang out at friends this past Saturday night and that was a ton of fun :)

Today's nails are some super cute little snowmen dudes I did last week.  I love them :)

My base here is Essie "On Your Mistletoes".  I then used nail stripers, nail art brushes and a couple different polishes to draw the snowmen.  I then put one coat of Maybelline "Crystal Disguise" on my pinkies and index nails and one coat of Funky Fingers "Winter Is Coming" on my thumbs to finish.

On Your Mistletoes by itself.  This is a really pretty blue, I dig it!

Have a great rest of the night.  I'll talk to you soon.

Here's a really good feel good for today:

"You can be anything you really want to be."

Love this one!  I leave you with Miss Betty and Dino snuggling, they are so cute when the cuddle together, it makes my heart so happy :)

Happy Sunday Loves,

Hope you are well and having a good weekend.  Mine has been okay, busy but okay.  Yesterday Casey and I went out to my Mom's to help her since she had her broken ankle surgery this past Wednesday.  Casey built a wheelchair ramp so I can get her to her doctor appointments or where ever else she will need to go until she is back on her feet.  I cleaned the house for her and did other chores to help her out then came home to get my own cleaning done.

Between Mom and helping her and then two of our cats being sick in the last two weeks it's been a really long couple of weeks. I've been starting to feel a bit run down and ragged myself, but I'll be okay, just need a day or two to be lazy and one of those days is today! Tomorrow I am taking Mom for a follow up doctor appointment then hitting the grocery store for her and working, so tomorrow is going to be a busy day too, then later on this week I am taking her dog, Gracie, to the vet. I hope Mom heals quickly and is good as new in no time at all.  Please keep her in your thoughts and send positive healing vibes her way!

Today I have a slew of some stamped nails I've done over the last half of the year or so that I was saving for a nail spam post, so here you go, a bunch of stamping :) Enjoy!

My base here is Orly "La Playa".  I stamped using Essie "Blue Rhapsody" and Uber Chic "Texture-Licious" plate.  The glitter on my middle nails is Pretty Woman "Light Blue", then I put one coat of Starlight Polish "Aqua Rhapsody" on my thumbs and pinky nails to finish.

That's it for this edition of stamping nail spam.  Hope you enjoyed it.  Have a great rest of the weekend.  I'll talk to you all soon.  I'm staying in today, being lazy and resting up till I have work, running Mom around and doing errands for her.

I leave you Miss Betty and Buster (RIP my sweet old man) from a few months ago.  It's been about 5 weeks now since we said goodbye to Buster and I miss him every day, sigh.  He was a good boy.

Happy Monday Loves,

It's Monday!!  Hope you are well and doing good. The last week since the New Year began has been pretty stressful for me.  I had to take Miss Betty kitty to the vet on Wednesday for constipation, she was blocked up and had to to be hospitalized.  It was a really hard two days especially spending a night without her.  I brought her home on Thursday.  Then I had to leave work early also on Thursday before I went to go pick Betty up from the vet to get my Mom at her foot doctor.  She has a freaking broken ankle.  Christmas weekend her ankle went out on her, she thought she sprained it, but turns out it was actually broken.  I am taking her to get surgery on it this Wednesday. Then this past Saturday morning I had to take Dino cat to the vet for a urinary infection.  He's feeling much better too now, thankfully.  So, this year has started out a bit ugh for me. I am feeling pretty stressed right now with the sickie kitties and will feel stressed until Mom wakes up from surgery on Wednesday.  She's 75 so it's a bit extra risky putting someone her age under, but I am confident she will be okay.  She's in pretty good health overall, so she should do well and bounce back pretty quick I think in the end.  They say things happen in 3's, so here's to hoping my "happen in 3's" in over for a bit anyways.

So, anyways, onto the nails for today.  These I did a couple months back and forgot to ever post them. They are decals with my favorite breed of horse, The American Saddlebred, which are very fancy high stepping pretty horses. They are the coolest horses ever I think.  To learn more about the breed you can visit the breed association's webpage here: https://www.asha.net/aboutus/theamericansaddlebred/.

My base was Sally Hansen X-treme Wear "Jam Sesh".  I then painted the fence with a white nail striper and the grass with OPI "Green Come True".  The horses are some decals I got on Amazon years ago.  The glitter is Wet 'n Wild "At Will Call" and then I put a coat of Pacifica "Gloss Rainbow Top Coat" on my thumb and pinky nails. I love these pretty fancy trotting horses with a purple sky, makes it different and fun I think :)

Jam Sesh on it's own, LOVE this shade of purple!!!!

That's it for today. Have a great rest of Monday.

Here's a good feel good going into the new year:

"Accept what is, let go of what was and have faith in what will be."

This one is really good!

I leave you with cutie Mr. Kitty with a bunch of toys :)  He's so cute and he really is a good cat too, I love him.

Talk soon!
