I have a problem. Well, a couple of problems. The first is that I have a slight nail polish addiction. My collection has grown larger than my lip gloss collection (and that’s saying something). I even have a collection of the vegan line of nail polishes. If you are interested […]

Printed Leggings For Under $15
This morning I did a dangerous thing: I clicked on a link for mermaid print leggings on Amazon. This resulted in my clicking more and more suggested links and falling in love with ALL the leggings. Lucky for me, these leggings are cheap. If I bought all of the pairs […]
3D Printed Nails
