The Little Things
December 5, 2014

Happy Friday! I have an exciting weekend ahead (it’s Melissa’s birthday weekend) full of fun and friends, so this week called for party nails. I very rarely paint one nail a different color, but for some reason December brings that out on me. This week I painted my nails “Pamplona Purple”, and my accent nail is “The World Is Not Enough”- both are OPI.

I use a Sally Hanson base right now (I’m not sure why. I started using it in college and never stopped), and my top coat this week is also OPI (I rotate top coats). Both of these colors are basic, go-to colors for me throughout the year. I miss seeing my tattoo out every day, but you get a little peek of it here!

Here are a few random facts from my week!

1. For Thanksgiving, I helped make these little turkey name holders! They were so cute and easy to make, but I seemed to struggle. It took a number of times to get the top oreo to stand up straight. Oops.

2. I’ve now had my bike trainer for a year (I brought it back with me after Thanksgiving break in 2013), and I’m so thankful for it! I really did wonder if I would ever really use it, but I’ve biked maybe 400-500 miles on it over the course of the last year (obviously there were about 6 months in there that I was on the road and never used the trainer). I can’t imagine training without my bike trainer, and think it’s well worth it!

3. This year I bought a few little boxes of ornaments (glass balls… except they’re plastic but meant to look like glass) and have filled two glass jars with them, and have placed them on my TV stand. They’re such a simple decoration, but I’m loving it! I haven’t gotten any new Christmas decorations in the past few years, so I’m enjoying the variation as well.

4. Do yourself a favor and listen to Serial, and then find a group of people to obsess over it with! I’m finding it absolutely fascinating, especially because there’s something from the case (from the 1990’s) that’s coming up recently (I don’t want to give anything away). Seriously- just go listen to it.

5. I actually really enjoy hand washing my own clothes. Yes, it takes more time, but there’s something really enjoyable to me about actually washing them myself. Anyone else out there feel the same way?

Now it’s your turn to share! What’s one of your “go to” nail polish colors? Share a fun Friday fact from your week!

  1. Those turkeys are adorable. And I keep thinking about a bike trainer or spin bike, but then wussing out.
