What I Use To Do At Home Gel Manicures!

During the pandemic, I obviously stopped going to get my nails done. So I decided to purchase some products from Amazon, and try to do gel manicures myself at home. The first time I did it, the manicure didn’t last, and I was kind of put off. I stopped doing my nails until I was able to go back into the nail salon again.

Fast forward to a few months ago, I started to go to the salon again, but for some reason, my nails wouldn’t keep the gel manicures. I don’t know if it is my pregnancy, or what, but I started to get frustrated that I was paying a good amount of money every two weeks, and my gel manicure would chip within a week.

So about 3 weeks ago, I decided to give my at home gel manicures a try again, and I think I have “nailed it”! I got a few new products, that I discovered on TikTok hahaha, and I do think they have been great! The first gel manicure I did lasted me 2.5 weeks! I actually just removed it last night and did another manicure. So as I type, I have a fresh new gel manicure on and I am obsessed with the manicure I just did.

I wanted to link everything that I use from Amazon for you all to check out if you don’t want to go into the nail salon and you want to do your own gels at home!

I have linked all the products I use from my UV/LED lamp, to my favorite foundation and top coat, and some of my favorite gel polish colors!

Let me know if you give this a try at home!

Our Family Holiday Card With Minted

I know I am a bit late at posting this but I still wanted to share! One of my favorite holiday traditions over the past few years has become sending our annual family holiday card to our closest family and friends. I think there is something so special when you receive a card in the mail from your loved ones. I know I personally love it. And I was so happy because this year, we received quite a few ourselves that I kept on display all holiday season. Since 2020 was such a trying year, I think sending out holiday cards was even more special.

For the past few years now, I have worked with Minted on our holiday cards. But this year was extra special because Monaco was in them! We took our photos in our new home, which was also so nice because this was the first year in our home.

Since this post is so late, if you haven’t done any happy new year cards, you can still do those. I have received a few last week so it will still be special. And if not, I encourage you to send out holiday cards next year with Minted. It will definitely bring a smile to your family and friends faces. Plus, Minted has such an amazing selection, you are sure to find something perfect for you and your family!

Shows I Have Been Binge-Watching Lately

I always love to see what other people are watching. Since my husband and I are such big TV show and movie watchers, I thought I would start to compile some of the shows that we are currently binging or have finished watching, so that I can share with my fellow TV connoisseurs. I would love to know what you are currently binging at the moment. Maybe I need to add it to my list!

This is the list of the most recent shows I have watched. I didn’t go back too far, because we watch so many shows. But I could do another list, or add to this one if you want to know more.

Light-Hearted Shows

  1. Gilmore Girls (Netflix)- This is what I am currently watching, and I can’t believe it has taken me this long to get around to watching this series. I absolutely love this small town mother/daughter duo!
  2. Sweet Magnolia (Netflix)
  3. Virgin River (Netflix)
  4. Love Life (HBO Max)
  5. Schitt’s Creek (Netflix)

Dramas

  1. The Chi (Showtime)
  2. Hightown (Starz)
  3. In The Dark (CW)
  4. Hanna (Amazon Prime)
  5. Show Me A Hero (HBO Max)
  6. Billions (Showtime)
  7. Killing Eve (BBC America)
  8. For Life (ABC)
  9. Outer Banks (Netflix)

Again, I have A LOT more shows that I have watched, but I just wanted to add the most recent ones that I can remember (since we watch so many). I feel like I have forgotten some, but I think these are the ones I have watched in the past 3-4 months. Also, because many productions have stopped due to the corona virus, so many of my shows have stopped mid series like Billions (which sucks).

Please send me any and all of your favorite new and old series! I would love to add some to my list.

Paperless Post | My Sister’s Graduation Party Invitations

My sister recently graduated from high school this month, so my mom and I decided to use an electronic invitation to circulate the news of my sister graduating high school and attending The University of Miami in the fall! I looked no further than Paperless Post for our invitations. Why? Because they create some of the most elegant and chic electronic invitations! And I have to say, our invitations turned out so pretty! Paperless Post makes it so easy and quick to use their site, which is why I have used them now multiple times for invitations!

Summer Cover-Up Dress

I cannot even tell you all how hot it is getting here in South Florida. It is ridiculously hot, humid, and rainy. If anyone tells you the summer time is a good time to be in South Florida, they are lying. But enough of my rant, I am here to tell you about this great summer cover-up dress by O’Neill! I love that it is great for the pool and the beach, but it also would look great to walk to brunch or lunch after you spend the day in the sun!

My Favorite Winter Coat

Before my trip to London, I knew I wanted to find the perfect coat to wear since it was going to be cold. I am a huge fan of prints lately, in particular leopard or snake print, so I knew I wanted to find a statement coat with a print. And I found it!

Our Minted Holiday Cards!

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is receiving our family and friends holiday cards. It is a little something special that they take time out of their busy schedules to send to us, and I truly appreciate and enjoy receiving them! In an age where we just text, email or socialize on social media, there is something so nice about getting a holiday card in the mail. So this year, I decided that Tyronne and I would start the tradition of sending out holiday cards to all of our friends and family. And of course, I would only use my favorite company Minted to help us create the perfect holiday cards!
