Dip Nails....Part Three

 Let's do another dip nail update....

I got my nails "dipped" for the third time about two and a half weeks ago. In this post here, I talk about my first and second dip experiences!

For this manicure, I went back to the salon where I tried dip for the first time. The only downside to this salon is that it's two hours away from where I live πŸ˜‚. There is a salon here in town that I'd like to try sometime, so maybe I'll do that sometime and give one last dip update.

Here's my latest dip manicure! I went with Cajun Shrimp, but one thing I dislike about dip is that often the colors are darker than what they look like in lacquer or gel form. While we're on the subject, the other thing I dislike about dip is that it makes my nails fan out a bit. I like the shape (the lady that did my nails actually asked me what I wanted unlike the first lady!), and I do really like the color even though it does not look like Cajun Shrimp to me.

So, I've decided that I just don't love dip. After taking off this dip, my nails look quite pitiful. It's great when I need a mani to last through sand and salt water, but for majority of the time, I just want my regular lacquer.

Have a great day!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times πŸ˜‚. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...
