A Ric Rac Nail Fail

When I was younger my mom used to sew Halloween costumes and some holiday dresses for my me and my siblings. No off-the-rack Walmart costumes for us! I remember hours of her sitting at the kitchen table with her Singer sewing machine, patterns, fabric, ribbons, and threads. I guess I was feeling nostalgic the other day because these nails are inspired by Ric Rac ribbon.  Do you know ric ric? It's wavy and looks like this:

So I tried to translate it to a nail design. Didn't exactly work out BUT it's been a while since I posted an actual nail design on here so it's nice to see some nails for once!

A Quick Trip to NOLA (Part Two)

A Quick Trip to NOLA (Part One)

Any opportunity we have to scratch our travel itch we try to take. So when Memorial Day approached we knew we wanted to seize the opportunity (and days off) to schedule a quick getaway. We considered a few locations but ultimately settled on a brief visit to New Orleans, Louisiana. Want to see what we got into?

The Last Italy Recap: Final Days in Florence

Oh my goodness it is about time this gets posted, right? I mean, our trip to Italy was literally over six months ago but no big. I've recapped our time in Rome (part one and part two), Vatican City (part one and part two) Pompeii, Venice (part one and part two), and Milan. Now it's time to share how we spent our final days in Florence!

Maxing Out Our Time in Milan

From Venice we traveled north to Milan. I was psyched to see Milan and all of its fashionable inhabitants but I was also really looking forward to our day trip to Lake Como. We were in Milan for three days but I really count it as one and a half because we only went sightseeing the first day and the third morning we were there. This is what we did on those days!

A Few Days in Venice - Day Two

For day two/our last day in Venice it was back to sunny skies all day. We hit the road water and visited the Venetian islands of Murano and Burano. These islands were so tiny and fun to explore.

A Few Days in Venice - Day One

We only had a few days to spend in Venice during our two weeks in Italy in September. I really wish we would have added one more time though because wandering the canals and waterways was so much fun. It's like another world and was completely different than what we are used to. This is how we spent our few days in vivacious Venice.
