Pursuing Happiness Along The San Luis Obispo Wine Country Trail…

The story of the neverending vacation….

I’m on vacation….still…I think this is the longest vacation I’ve been on with my husband and son….and myself. I’m sure I don’t need to let you know how awesome it is. 🙂 I love this pic Tabeso posted on their Facebook page…pretty much sums it up right?

We toured San Luis Obispo County wine country and their winery’s a few days ago and that ranks right up there as a highlight of my life…

I loved all the winery’s but I would have to say Laetitia Winery …

Fing’rs Heart2Art Collection at Walmart

www.fingrs.com

Strolling through Walmart yesterday I came across an awesome assortment of nail art paraphanelia, I believe in the jewelery aisle, and stocked up on some adorable International Themed decals, some quirky Love Note tattoos, and three rolls of striping tape! Woohoo! Oh, I also grabbed two stamping plates that have a love note stamp I’ve wanted for a long time! I also needed a new stamping scraper and stamper so I felt like it was totally justified. 🙂

These are also the final version of my vacation nails–I decided …

4th of July and Patriotic Nailart

I honestly love the 4th of July so much…for so many reasons. The top reason being that we live in the greatest country in the world and I love the USA so much! 🙂 My birthday might be the day before the 4th of July as well, so for as long as I can remember every time we celebrate my birthday fireworks and huge festivities are involved which always made me feel super special. My mom used to always buy me the cutest little red, …

Avila Lighthouse Suites–the perfect California Beach Resort

It’s that time of the year again! Time for me and my hubby and Westin to go on vacation! I am super, duper excited! We are going to California’s Central Coast…Santa Maria for 3 nights and Avila Beach for 3 nights. My brother-in-law is from Santa Maria and he and my SIL are staying at his folks house the entire time, but my husband and I thought it would be fun to get a room right on the coast for a few nights. Three …

Flag Day Inspired Nailart With Easy Tutorial

I love when I wake up in the morning and find that there have been U.S.A. Flags placed up and down our streets! See how pretty they look!

There are perks to being on Main Street! I usually have two flags in front of my house but I think a new person placed them this morning and accidentally did two at my neighbors–I’ll forgive them :)I also added some cute red, white and blue ribbons to my porch that I can leave up till after July 24th for Pioneer …

Hilarious Ellen DeGeneres Nail Polish/Late Night Movie Video!

Who doesn’t love Ellen?!? On one of her recent shows, she did a game where they had titles to Late Night Cinemax Movies and Nail Polishes, and the audience had to decide if the title was a movie or a polish…so funny!

Here’s a pic of my latest mani–Lobster Roll by CND

I love this color! It reminds me a lot of Cajun Shrimp by OPI. A gorgeous red coral. I paired it with a Dashing Diva Design FX Strides and Stripes wrap on my ring finger and did a simple dot …

Vertigo Nails! Dashing Diva Chevron Nail Wraps, CND Vinylux Pink Bikini, Black Square Studs

Vertigo Nails

I have been laid up all week with vertigo and let me tell ya it is noooo fun. I haven’t been able to workout since Monday which totally stinks for me because I hardly ever go a day without getting some sort of Crossfit workout in. My sister Mandy and I have been training for a half marathon as well, so I’m worried this is going to possibly put a stop to my training. I’ve always thought how awful it would be to get injured and not …

Chic Salon Styles–Dreamy Salons and Spas

What makes a great nail salon or spa? I think about this question a lot. The salon of my dreams would be ultra clean and bright with tons of natural lighting as well as bright overhead lights. The nail tables would be unique and modern and the pedicure area would be so comfortable clients would have a hard time staying awake. I would offer my guests refreshing treats and showcase live music occasionally. I don’t have plans in the near future to open a salon just in case anyone was …
