    Mother’s Day is for Mothers

    May 5, 2025 /

    Mother’s Day is around the corner (Sunday, 8th May, to be exact) and while I am aware that I am a mother (and have been one for a very long time) I have yet to earn the perks that come with a Mother’s Day. The simple reason is that my mom and Hubstopher’s mom is still around (and very much kicking) and so the Mother’s Day celebration quota gets evenly distributed between the two of them, leaving nothing but a Sunday school handmade gift for me (sniff sniff sob sob).

    Glitter accent nails – Easy Peasy with Essence!

    January 28, 2025 /

    Ever feel like: “I should probably do my nails today because they are starting to resemble that of someone who lives on a mountain, oh wait I don’t have the time, who am I kidding”? Well sister, you’ve come to the right place! I felt that way just the other day and decided to pull out my good ol faithful Essence The Gel polishes to give my nails a new zest for life. Glitter accent nails were a must!
