Jamberry Obsession

Have you heard about these things? They are so fun!

I'm really hard on my hands. I work in a dirty place (we've been told we have one of the cleanest auto repair shops around, but...) and frequently wash my hands while I'm at work. Not to mention, I don't own a dishwasher, but the sink never seems to stay empty very long. My hands are always in water. 

I love getting pedicures, but I only get manicures every once in awhile because the polish NEVER lasts more than a day. Gel manicures wreak havoc on my nails and fake nails are not my style.

When I heard about Jamberry nail wraps, I poo-pooed it because...well, because. I don't know why. But then my future daughter-in-law had one of those Facebook parties, and I was sucked into it. I figured I would order to give her the credit, but didn't really think I would use the wraps. Okay, I was wrong. I love them! 

They last 2 weeks and make your nails look so nice! They make my hands feel pretty. 

This one was my first attempt:

Not bad, considering I'm half-blind!

This was my second set. They're iridescent and called Mermaid Tales.

I had these specially made. Yes, you can do that! I can't wait to see how they look.

Since that fateful day when I first tried the wraps, I've accumulated a few packets. 

(I've told you before--when my family does something, we go all out. Haha!)

I don't sell them, and although I've already had a Facebook party, I probably won't do another, because I'm really horrible at being a salesperson. (Note to self: I may want to work on that when it's time to promote my books...) But my sweet, dear sister, Lisa is a consultant! So if you don't already have a consultant, feel free to browse my sister's site: https://lisa31sjams.jamberry.com/

A Few of My Favorite Things

I must admit, while writing up this blog post, I sang the title. So just like Julie Andrews, I decided to change the format from talking about some of my favorite things to singing about them. Sing along, you know the tune.

Survivor and fairies and warm suntan lotion.

Travel and coffee, the smell of the ocean.

Lobster with butter and Tiffany rings,

Reading about Europe and all of their Kings.

Shopping for new shoes and Chef Gordon Ramsay.

Watching Bugs Bunny and pink cotton candy.

Captain Jack Sparrow can make my heart sing,

Breezes in Autumn and tulips in Spring.

John Force and lightning and long three-day weekends.

Reading and writing and small newborn kittens.

Paper and pencils and dragonfly wings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

When it's cold out,

Or I gain weight,

When my writing's bad.

I simply remember my favorite things

and then I don't feel so sad!

That was fun!  Now, it's your turn...
