I’ve decided my nails have multiple personality disorder.

Some days, they are strong, healthy, long.  They look amazing.  Others, they are weak and cracking which ultimately leads me to cut them all down really short and start all over again.

I don’t get it.  I use “strengthening” polish.  I keep them moisturized.  I eat healthy (for the most part) and my life is (somewhat) stress free.  Why the constant shift in attitude?

On a recent trip to my local general store I decided to purchase what I hoped to be a fix for my weak and chipped nails.   After browsing the nail polish section I decided to purchase NailMedic by Pretty Woman.   I selected Force Field – nail hardener and protector – hoping that this would whip my nails back into shape.  “A unique nail-hardening complex that instantly hydrates and stabilizes soft, weak nails while forming a shield of protection from external stress and damage. Infused with Keratin Protein, Bio-Minerals, and Vitamin E. This treatment will condition, toughen and protect the nail, improving its structure to help reduce breakage.”  OK – SOLD!

  I rush home.  Rip open the packaging and apply the creamy texture onto my nails.  Instantly and I mean instantly my nails transform.  They look amazing already – healthy and strong.  They feel that way too.

The next day I apply another coat.  Stronger.  Healthier.  I think I can actually feel them drinking in the nutrients, kind of like a pressed juice for my nails.  I swear I hear the faintest “thank you” coming from my fingertips.

There is a whole line of products that promise to provide optimal results for healthier, stronger and longer nails.  From what I’ve seen so far, I believe it and plan to try other products like Growth Factor (which provide nutrition with keratin, calcium and argan oil) and the Nail Detox (with ingredients like witch hazel and lemon extract its supposed to prep and clean your nail for polish like nothing else)

They also have mini-kits designs to repair, strengthen and protect.  These look like perfect stocking stuffer gifts to me.  (Yes, I’m getting a little ahead of myself)

And of course, keeping those cuticles moisturized and healthy is uber important for the nails.  They have a bunch of products that will help with that too.

So … no matter what your nail’s attitude is, I suggest checking out the products by Nail Medic.  It’s therapy for your nails … without the hefty price tag.

the Zip Pouch

Can you really every have too many zip pouches?  I certainly can’t.  I use them for everything.  They hold my phone, keys, credit cards & lip gloss.  It’s the stylish way I carry my iPad and computer.  The perfect cosmetic bag.  Great organizers to throw in my tote as I’m traveling around with my little one.  They make going through airport security super fast.

All handmade in USA, locally in a small Texas town by me and a few other women that have a passion for sewing and making great products.

Yes … the long dog days of summer are coming to an end.   The smell of sun block, the sound of waves crashing as you lazily read a book with the sand between your toes, will all be a distant memory in a few weeks.   The routine of life snaps back as the ease of the long summer days drifts away.  (sad face)

But one bright side to the end of summer?  S A L E S!  

Crazy sales!  Have you checked your inbox lately?  I can’t go 1 minute without getting at least 5 emails telling me I must buy something because of the ridiculous summer savings I will get.  The thing is … they are right!

I love shopping summertime sales!  Its my time to stock up on so many amazing items – clothes, shoes, accessories, furniture, household items – at a fraction of the price.

So it just seemed fitting that I would launch an end-of-summer ECO Chic sale.  My customers deserve it and I’m happy to give them that giddy feeling when they realize the deal they just scored.  It’s like Christmas … in August.

So pop on over to my website and check out the amazing deals on all of my favorite summer fabrics.  Nude metallics …. cobalt blues … bright nectar … crisp whites.  They’re all there just begging for you to click and ship. (pick me!  pick me! )

Enjoy the final days of summer.  And when they are over, I bet if you close your eyes you can still hear the waves crashing.

End Of Summer = Sale Time Yes ... the long dog days of summer are coming to an end.   The smell of sun block, the sound of waves crashing as you lazily read a book with the sand between your toes, will all be a distant memory in a few weeks.

A Gift? For Moi?

Remember a while back I wrote a piece on Mamabu Box?  (That’s creative short for “Mama Be You” in case you didn’t know)   My Zip Pouches were (proudly) part of the first ever subscription box that was shipped to women across the country. Well, I was so excited to learn that my name was drawn as a winner for the July subscription box that was all about beautifying the digits and some inspirational…

What's Your SSB?

What’s Your SSB?

You know you’ve got it. You don’t need to be single to have it. Every woman has their SSB … their Secret Single Behavior.  You know, things you do that you wouldn’t want anyone else to see. Sure I’ve got mine and I recently added something to the list.  Sheet masks. When I wear them, I look something like a cross between Freddy Krueger and a NHL goalie but these sheet masks are ‘da bomb! The…
