High Five for Friday!

Tee.Gee.iiii.EFFF.

Oh weekend thank goodness you are here! This week was extraaa long, and I know everyone is ready for the weekend. We have quite a few things to do and are house hunting for the first time with our realtor.. and I hope to get in the gym at least twice ..we shall see how it goes.

Here are my top 5 things this week:

1. It was spring break, so all the kids must be at home. The traffic was minimal!

2. My new iphone charger! 

[I was sans charger last week and borrowing from coworkers during the day like a hobo]

3. Only 2 months left of living apart from Matthew...I’ve been staying on Matthew’s side of town since Wed night.. it’s so nice to see each other during the work week.  :)

                              4. My ruffian nails – including 'A Crewed Interest'

5. Our SECOND to last meeting with our Deacon before the wedding

Have a good and safe St. Patty's day everyone.

Spring Break Nails

UPDATE:
I tried this combo one more time and it looked waayyy better.

*****************************************************************************
Buzzing in real quick here, its spring, I’ve got spring fever, but OH my gah I am tired! Is anyone else feeling sluggish over the time change?? I’m suddenly wired off sunlight and haven’t been able to fall asleep til 1 or 2 in the morning all week.! Thank GOD its almost Friday.

Anywho enough about me! Here is a cool nail project I was inspired by on instagram, and I have been dying to try out and share. It’s called a ‘ruffian,’ not a clue in the world what that means, but I said ‘sign me up for that!’ It’s basically a lil’ razzle dazzle shimmy shake to your cuticle. Or a French manicure in reverse?? Whatevs here it goes.

***Warning*** this is not a nail project for the impatient. and I mean it!

Round up your supplies:

I chose ‘A Crewed Interest’ by Essie for the base – I’ve had my eye on this light peach for about a month.. and it was worth the wait.. it is Heaven in a bottle people! and “Next CEO” by Nicole for the Ruffian.

Step 2. Paint your nails and let them dry COMPLETELY. I SAID COMPLETELY PEOPLE.

Get your stickers:

Put them on, pay attention don't let those things go crooked now. And make sure they are stuck on TIGHT. If they aren’t the nail polish will wiggle under and give you a sloppy line:

start..Painting the ruffian. Use two coats.

WAIT for it.
WAIT some more. Patience is key folks. WAIT some more. THEN peel the stickers off and apply top coat to smooth out lines.

And you’re done! Then bon voyage to the enjoy the sunlight with your gorgeous nails! (I think they are gorgeous, you may beg to differ)

Here are two pictures because the color looks different depending on the light

(pardon my dents)

Over and out, we’re off to meet with our deacon. Have a happy happy St. Patty’s !!

My Third Wind

Thank you for the sweet comments yesterday. There are some new faces around here and I'm having so much fun reading everyone's blogs.

Well spring is here.. And it's beautiful :)

The rain has FINALLY stopped in Houston, the sunlight lasts til late evening and Texas summer is approaching. It's no secret that this is when southerners are most comfy! 

In our sun dresses and flippy floppies!!

 

With the weather change comes the realization: our early summer wedding is in two months and holy moly my second, shizz my THIRD wind has arrived. Thank the lord and little baby jesus because I needed some pep in my step! Sitting around mulling is just no way to live!

I told Emily my Third wing wind was here and this is what she had to say:

[haha]

Julie was the most rational:

And Mr. Wonderful was not having my crazy late night bridal brain!
He is a lil sicky so he gets a pass:

Something else I saw:

[Uh huh]

Well, considering we are planned our wedding in 5-6 months there is no time for early! On time is about as much as we can accomplish. But I'll keep this in mind for future endeavors!

Time to tackle the final to-do list and try to stay sane,
send all the good juju you have my way if you can!

Also, I wanted to do the Ashley from Happily Ever After's Hub in the Hot seat link up but Matt is sicky poo so we'll show for next week ! Go link up with her!

I'm using way too many exclamation marks! I clearly have way too much energy! Love you blogworld!
