What I do when I'm sick

(Note:  I was going to do this yesterday, but got overtly sidetracked, then fell asleep.  Sorry y'all.  )
  I decided since I couldn't go out with my hacking cough, itchy throat, flashes of hot & cold, and being super duper tired, that I would stay in and get my immunity up for my job on Thursday (It's my first, yays!).  So what better than to paint my nails a pretty color to get my spirits up.  Then I thought to myself, I need to make a blog post, so what better than a nail tutorial?!  So I scanned, and scanned on pinterest, tumblr, and weheartit for something simple yet cute.  With no luck, I freeballed & created an awesome design (yay for creativity when sick!!!).  Here is the end result, I shall show you how to do it as well.
Oh, and this is me chewing on a peppermint stick.  Apparently peppermint oil/tea/extract/candy has some type of healing property that aids in cramps and body aches.  I love these & highly recommend you buy a crap load for winter season/ time of the month.  They make me happy, as you can see in this photo.

Step 1)  Start out with clean nails.  Wash your hands, and lotion them up to make the cuticle soft & easy to work with.  You also want to file during this step as well if you need to.  It's pretty simple, actually (unless you have never painted your nails before and desperately need this tutorial).

Step 2)  When doing a french tip manicure, make sure to remember that it's a process, and not everyone can do this step.  Always make sure you have a little bit of length to your nail, or it won't look right.  Start at the side, and paint to the middle.  If you are really good at it, you can do it from left to right without ease.

Step 3) Here is the finished french tip.  Nothing to say about this picture, really.  It explains itself.

Step 4)  Take a toothpick and get some glitter nail polish ( I used silver).  Dip your 'pick into the polish and under the white color make a small/med border under it.  It gives the white color definition.

Step 5) The last & final step is to take another glitter polish ( I used purple), and in the middle of the nail go up and coat the naked nail, silver and white.


Welp, that is all I got for you.  Being sick is tough, and the littlest things should be captured during rough times.
Blessed be!

I know, I know, I haven't posted in a while!  I sawries.  Well, I guess I should update.
Right now, my blogging adventures have taken me down the path of food blogging.   I got the inspiration from Pinterest, once I found that site I was done.  Plus, I've always had an obsession with food my whole life, I can't seem to get away.  My sister has a sweet tooth (as do I), so we decided to collaborate.  You can visit Here.
Modeling has become my obsession as well.  I have added a whole set on my Flickr, so check it out.
I also got married!  It wasn't a big ol' ceremony and reception, but we decided to elope, and I still looked cute ;D   There will still be a huge wedding soon, I just started working (1st job ftw), and I have to save some money up.  Communication with my sister has been reactivated.  She and her boyfriend are staying with us until they get on their feet.
I also saw my dad for the first time in 5 years.  We didn't speak to each other for a while, and on a whim he contacted my sister & told her that him & his other half will be driving halfway across the country to see us.  Below is a picture of us at Cracker Barrell

Well, I have a bad cold, so I have to cut this short (being sick is such a drag).  If you have any questions, comment down below.

Blessed Be
