Life Lately

A cupcake full of sprinkles. 

Look at this baby frog, isn't he so cute?!?

My niece Isabella. This was her idea of playing with food. 

Ice cream...perfect to cool off on a hot day.

Hanging out by my uncle's lake. Nothing better than relaxing with the family.

Starbucks! Payment to my niece Binx for taking photos of me.

Ombre Nails: Mix the Colors Yourself

I love the look of ombre nails and have been wanting to try it out for some time but honestly I didn't feel like buying five different shades of one color. Well problem solved. I already had a pretty shade of blue and white polish at home so all I had to do was buy black and let the painter in me have fun mixing colors. 

I love the way it turned out and I even think it would look great with the original color as the darkest and only adding white until you get a pretty pastel, so if you don't have black...don't worry about it, you can still try ombre with only two polishes.

Hey lovelies, I hope you all had a fun weekend, I enjoyed every bit of mine. Chris and I went to a rock concert Saturday night that we had a really good time at...my neck was definitely feeling it in the morning. It's hard to not feel the music when Korn is playing, we've seen them a few times now and they always put on a good show. Sunday I went  with my mom to a small family owned restaurant that has the best milkshakes...seriously so good, I wish I had taken a pic or two. Right across the street is a railroad museum so I took the opportunity to take a few photos of my outfit. As you all know this is one of my favorite skirts. I guess it's because I wanted to a ballerina a long time ago and love how it reminds me of a tutu...and really what's not to love?

Quite a few of you have asked about the past weeks photo locations and they have all been in the old downtown area around town. Sometimes I love how this small town I live in has so much history. I read a post about blogging and taking photos awhile back and one of the tips was to scout out interesting places so I've been  driving around town and looking...I completely recommend it. I've been finding a bunch of backdrops that I hadn't ever noticed before.

Wishing you all a start to a lovely week.
