The Little Things
October 10, 2014

Happy Friday! This week has felt a bit long. I think the extra rain and increasingly dark days are starting to get to me a little bit, although I know that today is still much better than the winter months will be. It’s silly how it takes our bodies a bit of time to get on board, right?

*Make sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to fact #5 for a fun announcement! 

Ok, so nail polish of the week! I’ve heard of Essie’s “Mint Candy Apple” (I’m curious about how they got that name though??) before, and had wanted to try it for quite some time. I’m weird about nail polish colors and the seasons, so I almost didn’t try this one, since it’s more of a spring/summer (and January) color in my mind (I know… I’m a little bit weird like that. sorry.) I’m glad I tried it out though, because I ended up really loving it. Here’s what it looked like on in comparison to how the color looked in the bottle:

Here’s another shot:

I LOVE it (and I love my tattoo as well!) I just put two coats of the color on (plus a base and top coat), and felt like that was more than enough to cover the nail well (sometimes pastels need more than 2 coats, and I’m not a fan of that). Like I said, this color might not cycle back around for awhile, as there are so many fall-ish type colors that I’m excited to wear, but I am looking forward to wearing this again in the future!

And here are some Friday Facts for you!

1. I’m only twelve dollars away from my fundraising goal of $500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society! I’m so excited to have almost completed my fundraising! (You can read more about my story on my fundraising page here).

2. I am being really stubborn and refusing to turn on my heat right now. So, I’m living in about 62 degree temperatures right now. There are moments that feel really chilly, but I just layer up and get under some blankets, and I’m fine. And my bank account thanks me 🙂

3. I love Thursday nights on ABC. Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How To Get Away With Murder are all on back to back to back, and I love it!

4. I love pretty much all things pumpkin spice (it goes into my intense love for all things seasonal). I’ve worked on decreasing the amount of coffee creamer I put in each cup of coffee (seriously, my coffee wasn’t even remotely dark looking because I put so much in), but I’m still enjoying a splash of flavor in my cups!

5. I’m an affiliate for the “Blog Well Summit” on October 17-19. This is a FREE virtual conference on all things health and blogging! Did I mention that it is free?
