Be Positive

 

Nail Files. Week # 377

 This week I am wearing a few different nail colors. I saw a You tuber show some nail polishes that are available at Sephora. I already have similar colors, so I thought I would paint my nails with those polishes. The reddish is Orly Breathable-Beauty essential, light purple is Orly Breathable-Patience and Peace, seafoam green is Salon Perfect-Mer-made of Money & the periwinkle is China Glaze-Secret Per-wink-le. I think it's a cool color combo. I was going to use a different lavendar, but the polish seemed a bit thick, so I used this 1 instead.

My Mom's 2 year passing anniversary

My Mom passed away 2 years ago today. I still miss her & it's still hard. I kept busy today instead of sitting inside & being sad. I got out & went shopping & got a green tea latte. My Mom also loved shopping. So a good way to honor her. She mostly shopped on tv, QVC.

Nail Files. Week # 376

 This week I have on a new polish that I ordered online from Ulta. It's OPI infinite shine-Samurai Breaks a Nail. This gets the OPI gel topcoat. It's a pretty shimmery purple.

Friday Favorites. 4.2.21

 

 Happy Friday. This week was long. I think March was a long month. April is always hard now because my Mom passed away on April 9th. The 2 year anni of her passing is coming up in a week. But this is also coming up on my fave time of year. So I want to try to look at the positive.

1. Eye shadow palette. Blush crush by Colourpop. I saw Jessica Braun, beauty You tuber, mention this eye palette the other day. I ordered it & it came today. Not sure what I think of it yet. I love the color in the middle & I need more champagne colors. This is only my 2nd Colourpop palette & that 1 is hard to get a good color look. I have to use lighter colors from another palette with it.

2. Mug. Hello Gorgeous from Target. I got a mug back in December that I love from Target. It says Homebody. It's become my fave mug, so I knew I had to get this when I saw it on the Target app. I've had it saved in there for a while. I finally got it the other day.

 

 

 Happy Friday Everyone.

Happy April. Monthly Goals.

 Here are some of my April Goals.

1. Do more yoga. The beginning of this month is stressful/sad. So I want to do something to relax myself.

2. Bring some stuff to Goodwill. I have a bunch of things down in my garage that needs to be donated.

3.Vacuum the stairs.

4. Go for a walk.

5. Do 4 scrapbook pages.

Sunday night blues

 

Lately I've been pretty tired. More doctors appointments. I saw a neurologist & he gave me a headache shot. I need to pick up a rx for a shot to give myself. This Tuesday I have a dermatologist appointment. I've been wanting to see 1 since last year, but with all of my health issues & covid, I never made it in.I've also be down lately. I think it's because my Mom's 2 year anniversary of her passing is coming up on April 9th. So I've been thinking about her a lot.
