Big Announcement!

Hey, everyone!

This post is a long time coming but I just now have some time to share this announcement.

It's no news that my free time to do nails has greatly dwindled in the last year or so. Now that I am full-time teaching while simultaneously going through a credential program, that time is even smaller. While I still do my nails, I simply don't have the time to write up full blog posts anymore, especially when I get so little interaction on Blogger.

Does that mean I won't be posting my nail art anymore? NO!

But what it does mean is that I will no longer be posting nail art on my Blogger or Tumblr site. From now on I will only be sharing my nail art posts on Instagram (which you can follow HERE).

Again, I am not completely giving up on nail art, as I still really enjoy making it and sharing it, but I am having to use my limited free time more wisely, and this seems like the best option for that. So please, if you like what I do and are interested in seeing what I post in the future, head over to my Instagram and give me a follow!

I plan on sharing a nail art design in the next couple weeks, so stay tuned over there.

Thanks to all of you who have followed me here for so long, and I hope to see you over on Instagram!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hey, everyone!

I UPDATED MY COLLECTION PAGE! Check it out, lemme know if anything needs to be changed. This was... a labor of love and hate, so I'm very glad it's done!

Life and Blog Update

Hey, everyone!!!

I think this has been my longest hiatus yet, and I am SO sorry for my prolonged absence! But I am back and I promise I'm not abandoning this blog or my lovely followers. Keep reading for what is sure to be a long-winded explanation (I'll try to keep it as short and sweet as possible).

Life Update & A Special Legacy

Hey, everyone!

I'm sorry I've been MIA this week. You may have seen stuff about Oroville Dam and its damaged spillway(s) in the news recently. Well, my town is downriver from the dam, and there has basically been an evacuation order (downgraded to an advisory) in effect for the entire past week, just in case the (already full) river breeches the levees and causes a massive flood. I haven't been able to go to work because all the schools are closed, and it's been a really stressful week. The storm system this weekend is only putting more pressure on the issue, but the updates this morning seem to be good ones. So I'm trying to catch up on some posts until they possibly tell us we need to get out!

Update out of the way, this mani and this post are very special to me. My academic advisor from college recently and suddenly passed away. We were very close, since I was one of only two graduating chem majors in my graduating year, and he was simply put the most lovely and genuine gentleman I have ever met. I will tell you more about him in this post, but this mani is what I wore to his "celebration of life" service. Please keep reading for more!
