All Hail the Nails

Hey there my gems!
I've done Fashion Tips, Fall Faves and Men 's Trends, BUT NOW it's time for my obsession:  NAILS NAILS NAILS. My nails have always been  super important to me, having them done is an easy way to have a sense of being "done up" even though you may not be wearing makeup. I've tried everything from Shellac to Acrylic and I'm going to go through my reviews of each option.

Shellac

I did shellac for a few months on different occasions and I liked it but at the time I was a lifeguard so working in the chlorine, the shellac wouldn't last as long. I think Shellac is a really great option if you don't want to be constantly fixing your nail polish nor want fake nails. Prices can range anywhere between 20$-50$ depending on the quality, location, etc.

Acrylic nails are fake but they are the least recommended. I had acrylic nails for three months (3 refills) and when I took them off, after just three months, my nails were absolutely disgusting. They were flaky, yellow, dead, and so sad looking. I've always had long, thick nails and I was so devastated. Acrylic is actually now illegal in a lot of areas and honestly, even if its legal don't do it. The price tag is cheaper than BioGel but the effects are no bueno my gems. I paid different prices because I went to different salons, it varied from 30$ to 70$.

BioGel

BioGel price tags aren't far from acrylic as the work to put on the nails is similar to acrylic but can range higher as well. I also tried BioGel and did about 2 refills. I have to say that although the product is supposed to be safer for your nails, mine were still pretty dead after only two months. They were flaky and breaking and I had to constantly cut them short to make them grow back stronger.

Nail Polish
Then, after all of this, there is always the common place nail polish. The DIY, pick your color, shape and change it whenever you want to! I've begun to stick to regular nail polish since I like the option of changing colors so often and not having to be worried about breaking a nail, or relying on any nail salon to have appointments when I need. Not to mention, this is a huge money saver! There are also great products like at home Gel polish. This doesn't last as long as Shellac but it will definitely last longer than average the average nail polish.

In general, my nails mean so much to me, and people don't always know but nails are a reflection of your health, hydration, skin health, etc. There is so much importance about taking care of your nails so be sure to chose the products which are best for you and your cuticle friends!

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We didn't buy the

Wedding planning

Hello hello beautiful people! My goodness it feels like a lifetime has passed since I last typed onto this page. I have had a tone of TikTok success and I won't lie, it took all my attention! Lately my life revolves around my full-time job, wedding planning and trying to save money... not easy considering the wedding planning.  Here are some high level updates as to our wedding planning and stay tuned for a tone more updates and wedding content coming! 1. The venue, the vendors and the plan are all set! I was pretty lucky that my fiancé and I had a very similar vision for our wedding- a big vision. Unfortunately, we were a bit naive as to what the cost of that would be, but we are certainly learning to plan and save money more than ever. It is also the first time we are in situations where we need to decline plans because they are simply too expensive. Overall, the quick first months of engagement were really successful in planning and locking in location, vendors and putting down

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute
