Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
The weather is warming up nicely despite yesterday’s hail storm, yes, it hailed in Middletown, Delaware. I hadn’t reached town yet therefore, I missed it but my girlfriend posted a pic on Facebook (LIKE me) and it was awesome, actual golf ball size hail in May – this global warming ain’t no joke!
I am getting a little impatient with the weather and am no longer waiting to go sleeveless or wear sandals as evidenced by today’s outfit. I added a little pop of color to the black and white with a coral watch and ring. The brass statement necklace with matching earrings I’ve had for over 25 years and paired them with a hammered brass bangle bracelet.

I am so ready to wear white jeans.
What are you most looking forward to wearing this summer?

Shellac -vs – Gel Manicures
Posted on: March 15, 2013
A few weeks ago it was reported and obviously rebuked by nail technicians that Gel Manicures pose a health risk, that the process of using UV Rays to set the gel can cause skin cancer. Â But what about Shellac Manicures, do they pose the same risks because the setting method is the same? Â There are many pros and cons for each including this one, (here), but you have to judge for yourself.
I’ve had both and personally prefer The Shellac for several reasons, the process is quicker; the length under the UV light is shorter and last but not least, it’s cheaper!
Yesterday during my lunch break I went to Nail Paradise in the Frazer Shopping Center, where I received a Shellac manicure by Lisa, a very pleasant nail technician. Â There were so many pretty bright colors from which to chose but I selected this Midnight Blue, what do you think?
Have you had a Shellac or Gel Manicure – if so, which do you prefer?
Lisa, the Nail Technician, was very pleasant and I enjoyed my “quick pamper”.

 Hello Friends and Happy March Eve!
Can you believe today is the last day of February? Â I am taking a PTO day off from work and will be attending an event later at The Money School of Delaware. Â Yesterday started out wet and rainy so I just wore black slacks, a zebra print top and flats then added an orange belt to break up the black and white. Â It wasn’t fashionable just comfy Corporate casual – what do you think?
The orange purse was purchased from Charmingly Linda’s Consignment Shop and I tied a multi-color scarf around the handles.
I was going to wear the single bracelet that I made in my DYI post (here), but decided to add a few wooden bangles to the zebra print ones that I had in my jewelry box
I used orange nail polish to cover a silver ring – another DYI

OOTD – Turnaround Thursday
Posted on: February 7, 2013
Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
When I saw this top at Goodwill I knew I had to get it because of all the colors, it would work with almost anything in my closet. There was just one slight problem…it’s very low cut in the front and I knew hubby would not let me out of the house in it.
It just hung in my closet…that was until yesterday after reading a post by a fellow blogger, Jean of all Trades…I am now wearing it backwards!!!
I am glad that I kept the shirt but more importantly, I am thankful for bloggers who come up with great ways to re-fashion clothing and jewelry! Â This necklace was a $1.00 find at the Flea Market and I used nail polish to give the stones some color.

Remember those cute kids from the ’90’s group, Kriss Kross, they wore their clothes backwards too – everything old is new again!
