Pray for Alabama

Mother Nature has apparently been in quite a bad mood these past few days. We have had absolutely terrible weather! It's been storming non-stop here in Memphis.

However, our thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and high winds are nothing compared to what Alabama and parts of Arkansas have gone through.

Looking through pictures from all of the devastation is heartbreaking.

This was the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa, Alabama

I can't even imagine. The devastation is just terrible. Let's all keep those impacted by these devastating storms in our thoughts and prayers.

New Nails

So, while in Nashville a couple weeks ago, I noticed a friend of mine had these fabulous leopard print nails. I asked her, "Are those the Sally Hansen stickers? I've seen those commercials but didn't know if they really worked."

She proceeded to tell me that yes, they do in fact work. That they were pretty easy to put on and seemed to last (they claim they can last up to 10 days).

A few days ago, I was at Target because I needed just one thing. However, if you love Target like I do, you can never leave with just one thing. I stumbled into the nail section and there they were. I figured what the heck might as well try them.

I snatched up a box of the leopard print and made my way home.



The box contains 16 strips (thank goodness because I messed up one three!), a wood stick (to push back cuticles), and a small nail file (to get the excess off). Both ends of the strips are rounded so that they can ideally fit almost any nail size. After I got the hang of them, it took me maybe 15 minutes to put them all on. Just take your time because if you mess one up and try to peel it off your nail, it can be hard to get them to adhere nicely the second time.

I loved the way they turned out! I have gotten so many compliments on them. They still look great (I've had them on for 4 days now). I'll keep you posted on how they wear for the next few days.

It almost looks like they are silver with leopard, but the silver isn't as prominent in person. I blame the flash!

Overall a really fun, quick "manicure" with NO dry time! Just stick on, file, and go!

Here's a link to Sally Hansen's sight to check out all the other colors available. I think these are available at most drugstores or Target/Walmart type places.

Easter Weekend (including my "accident")

Wow. What a weekend!

Friday was pretty low-key, so nothing too exciting to report. However, on Saturday one of my best friends was in town from Charleston, so of course that meant girls night out! It was such a crazy night. The Grizzlies won their game (which was IN Memphis) against the Spurs so Beale Street was jam-packed afterwards! But we fought through the crowds and off we went to our favorite bar on Beale Street, Silky O'Sullivans!

The "accident" I'm referring to is that I took about zero six pictures this WHOLE weekend. For those that know me, I am a picture nazi. Whenever I go anywhere or do anything I'm more than likely taking a picture. However, like I said I only had six pictures and they were all from downtown (girl's night). This means that D and I took ZERO pictures together on Easter. Zilch. Nada. Nope. Try again later. Oh well....I guess this means I get to wear my Easter dress again sometime soon and no one will know :)

Here's a couple pictures from our girl's night out:

  The girl on the left is the one that left me to move to Charleston...
Ignore the giant white dot on my eyeball. Not sure why that's there?

Some guys from a bachelor party decided to crash our picture.

I'm still in shock that I have zero pictures from Easter! Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter weekend!

Thank Goodness...

It's been a long time coming....


Stefano has needed to go for awhile. How he even made it this far is amazing to me. Pia was so much better, and she never deserved to go home before you. Even Paul in his crazy flower suits was better. So thank you fellow Americans for finally seeing the light. Sorry Stefano.......it was time.
