Slice of Life 22

Happy Saturday! Are you all having a good weekend so far? I’m hosting a sleepover with Jordan and her 12 year old cousin. My earplugs and wine are at the ready.

1. March was a super busy month for us. Come to think of it, so were February and January. I think that’s just how we roll these days. Last week we spent spring break in San Diego visiting family.

I’ve decided I want to live on the beach. Coronado would be one of my top choices. Anyone got a million bucks I can borrow?

2. Let’s talk about nails. You may have noticed my nails in some of my photos lately. One of my good friends, Kristina, has started selling Jamberry Nails. Have you heard of them? They’re nail wraps that are like stickers. They come in tons of fun colors and patterns and they stay on for 2 weeks – even with tons of hand washing. I always want cute nails but can rarely get them because with all the dishes the polish chips off within minutes of putting it on. With Jamberry I get at least 2 weeks of pretty nails!

You can check out all the patterns on Kristina’s website. I want all of them, obviously. Here are some reasons why I love Jamberry wraps:

• They’re non-toxic.
• They’re a conversation piece.
• For each $15 set you can get at least 2 manicures. That’s $7.50 for 2 weeks of wear. Show me a nail salon or a kit that can do that for that price (AND LAST THAT LONG)!
• If you buy 3 sets you get the 4th free. That’s how Jamberry does math, and I like it. Because I want allthewraps, obvi.

They are easy to put on, I promise. It’s definitely one of those things that gets easier as you practice. Now it takes me less than 30 minutes to do my whole manicure. And before you say “30 minutes!!!” remember that there is NO drying time! The Jamberry wraps are like stickers that adhere to your hands through heat (via a blow dryer or one of their mini dryers). Once you’re done putting them on you’re DONE!

This post is NOT sponsored by Jamberry or Kristina, but I am hosting a party for her. She’s just starting out as a consultant and could use your business. Believe me, I wouldn’t go on and on about these nails if I didn’t love them. Check out her website and be sure to choose DOROTHY’S CRAZY JAMBERRY PARTY at checkout. You are going to love them, I promise.

It would be so cool if I could host a real party with all of you (the food would be epic) but my house is too small. So I’m doing the party as an event on FB instead. Check out the Facebook event here! We’re playing fun games and everything!

As an incentive to check them out, I’m going to do a JAMBERRY GIVEAWAY!!

To enter to win one (1) sheet of Jamberry Nail Wraps, visit the Jamberry website and leave a comment on this post telling me what style you would want most. That’s it! For all giveaway rules, see the bottom of this post. Open to anyone who lives anywhere!

3. While we’re talking about the style I most certainly do not have, let’s talk about Stitch Fix. I don’t do SF regularly; it’s a “I want new clothes this month” kind of thing. I got a box in March and loved 4/5 of the pieces. I asked Instagram to help me choose.

The shirts were totally me and I kept the coral and teal ones. I loved the blue so much but it was too expensive for what it was so that went back with the dress-that-won’t-be-shown. (Seriously, I think my grandma owned one just like it.) I ended up keeping the skirt after so many people said it was cute and I can’t wait to wear it soon!

4. Also in March? This happened. Notice something different?

Besides the fact that she looks 15? She got her braces off!! And has been eating her weight in jelly beans ever since.

5. I also got a super fun surprise: Barnes and Noble had my book!

Mel sees it all the time at B&N but it’s never there when I go. This made me happy, until my little family started talking in loud voices about how “MY MOM/WIFE WROTE A COOKBOOK, THIS ONE RIGHT OVER HERE!!!!” Then I just walked away blushing and hiding in my purse.
