Happy Friday! This week for my nail polish I chose to go with a liquid sand nail polish. This was a line from OPI two years ago, based on the Bond girls (from James Bond movies). Each of the colors was named after a famous Bond girl, and the color I chose, which is a light pink, is called “Pussy Galore”. What a name, right?

I LOVE the color… Sorry for the chips- I painted my nails in Mexico and it took a few days to take a picture of it once I got home. It has texture in it, just like sand was in the nail polish. I love it 🙂
Here are some random facts for the week:
1. I’ve been loving this pomegranate candle recently! Pomegranate is a flavor I really love, but rarely do I find it in candle form. It’s delicious!
2. Before I went to Mexico, I had 21 posts scheduled for my blog and another 3 mostly typed up. Some of these posts I had typed up back in January for the sole purpose of posting them this past week, so I’ve been preparing for a few months. I’m glad to know that craziness is over.
3. I’m having a surprisingly difficult time adjusting back to “real life” here after being in Mexico. I’ve traveled quite a bit, and have never had quite this much difficulty. My heart and my mind are still there, and it’s definitely taking a bit of effort to force myself back to being present here.
4. I’ve been trying to limit my screen time a bit since I’ve been home. I didn’t turn on a computer, TV, movie, or anything like that for 11 days, and it’s feeling a bit overwhelming to me… I’m not sure why. I’m giving myself a bit of time on the computer and a bit of TV time, but otherwise I’m just listening to things or sitting in silence, which feels much better.
5. I’m SO sun burned on my shoulders and back. I got burned on Sunday and I’m still bright red and it still burns and itches. If I could get one of those massage chairs that they use in malls so that I didn’t have to have things touching my back, I definitely would do that!
6. I have so much to tell you about my trip! From mixing concrete to walking in some of the most impoverished areas I’ve seen, playing with kids in the community, swimming in the ocean, killing scorpions, and going to Chichen Itza, it was certainly an incredibly full 10 days. I wish I could sit down with each of you and tell you all about it 🙂
From dinner one night…
Now it’s your turn to share! Tell me one random fact from your week? Have you ever dealt with a bit of culture shock before?
Love that nail polish color. My husband and I are heading to Mexico next month and that seems like the perfect “beachy” color!
I can’t imagine what my life would be like after no technology for 11 days. My inbox would probably overwhelm me and I wouldn’t know where to start. You’ll get back into a groove; it will probably just take some time.
You are SO organized on your blog. I don’t think I have ever written a blog post ahead of time. Maybe I should start scheduling better.
Can’t wait to hear about your experiences in Mexico!!!
I’ll definitely get back in the groove (I hope sooner rather than later!). I’m a pretty “J” person on Myers Briggs, so I guess that explains the organization here. I try to schedule most of posts for the week by Sunday so that I don’t have to write under pressure 🙂 I should have a post or two about Mexico up this week! Where in Mexico are you going?
Cannot wait to hear all about the trip.
My first post about it is up!
