When I was an acrylic nail girl going to the salon every 3 weeks, I would get this color at least 3x a year so when I started doing my own nails, I knew I needed to get my hands on it… well I finally did! Used some Apres sculpted medium almond gel-x tips with DND mermaid collection #248 in Dark

As much as I love romance of all kinds, thrillers will always have a place in my heart and Freida is one of my favorites. Went to see my nephew play soccer and passed a Marshall’s so I ended up stopping and picking up 5 new books! #books #thriller #freidamcfadden #marshalls #bookhau

… and brought home blind book boxes for my sister and me! #books #blindbox #bookgirlie #noshelfspace #summer

… and I got distracted by the pretty nails! I’ve used OPI before and finally being able to wear this length means I have more options. I love being an at home nail girlie 💅🏻 #athomenails #opi #pressons #pressonnails #ulta

Which means it’s me, my books, and Leonox (plus a few adult responsibilities) for the next 7 days! The Midwest weather has finally decided to drop into the 70s as well which makes my fall girlie heart happy ❤️ #fall #books #staycation #dogmom #justagirl

I’ve filled my water 7 times already today so figured I’d break it up with a Bloom pop! I love keeping these in the house for these moments because it keeps me from having a soda and there’s supposed to be “good for you things” in them 😂 #bloom #prebiotic soda #lotsofwater #healthjourney

Was craving something sweet while at the grocery store so instead of the cookie at the front, I finally decided to the try the PB2 cookie mix! Couple things to note: - very easy to make (like add 2 things and mix) - the dough isn’t pretty in the bowl - the pb flavor outweighs the chocolate

So I’ll admit that I messed up… when I was looking for some books to finish out the month of August, I downloaded “Picture This” by this author not realizing that it was a later addition to this series so I had to back track after the fact 😅 However this series has popped up several times and I

I finished Secret Haven (Kyler Blackwood is going to be living rent free in my head for awhile) which means it’s time to leave Sparrow Falls… This series has been talked about a lot and I was slacking on getting to it, but honestly I loved this series so much! It mixed small town romance with s

Hit a goal and got another reward! It keeps me motivated on my journey to a better me 💪🏻 #betterforit #betterthingsarecoming #betterme #healthjourney #bodytransformation

Just adding to my never ending TBR 🤷🏻‍♀️ #tbrchallenge #tbrshelf #book haul #bookgirlie

…and it tasted so good! I want to preface this by saying I do not have to eat gluten free and 98% of the time, I don’t, but I’ve started to notice that I bloat less when I eat a GF dessert. I have PCOS/PMOS and Endometriosis so I’m very prone to bloating no matter what I do/eat and as someone w

Tbh, I’m kind of sad to be starting this book because once I finish it, I’ll be leaving the Blue Grove Mountain universe and I don’t know if I’m ready for that… this is probably why it’s taken me so long to pull this one from the shelf. ****This is a local (to me) author and sadly it has been t

I love the first picture because it was from a fun night with great people, but u hate that picture because it’s a reminder of how far I let myself spiral… feeling like a whole new person these days ❤️ #feelingmyself #transformation #weightloss #wellness #healthjourney

Nail Reformation for the win! I absolutely love these. They scream spring/summer and since the Midwest can’t make up its mind, they’re perfect 🤷🏻‍♀️ #summer #spring #nails #pressonnails

I love adding more ink to my skin 😍 #tattoos♥️ #endometriosis #pcos #pmos #summer

I wanted to love this brand (their glue is great), but I don’t… tried 3 sets (1 not pictured) and the first 2 had a chunk out of the thumb within the first week. Just applied the 3rd set so we’ll see. My conclusion on this brand is that if I come across a set I like and that is the right shape/leng
