Valentine's Day

This year's Valentine's Day was a fun one. Very relaxing. Doug & I decided to have a little fun with Ryan's gift and card this year. He has a really good sense of humor so we decided to get him some girly looking things. The card we bought was full of hearts and rainbows and featured a unicorn on the front. We gave him a gift card to Target and picked out the one that had flowers on it.

Ryan's two "girly" cards:

Here's a video of Ryan opening his gifts. He got a good laugh out of the girly items we got him.

Here he is checking out his gifts:

Ryan & Doug picked out some great gifts for me. First, I got this new box to put all of my manicure items in. I have a basket that I've been using for a long time. It is looking a little worn out and is a little too small. I keep everything that I need in that basket - cotton balls, remover, polish colors, file and so on. So now I've got one that's a little too big. I guess that means I get to go shopping for more colors!
Inside my new box were some goodies! I got a new shirt (the item on the bottom), some aloe socks (and if you haven't tried them - you are missing out!!!) and some Godiva chocolate mints - yum!

My wonderful friend Jill makes this totally yummy carmel corn, so I ordered some for Doug. It's one sweet treat that he really enjoys. He even shared it withe me. We ate it while we watched a movie later on that day!

For breakfast, Doug made heart shaped eggs and bacon. They were super yummy!

Then, later in the evening our doorbell rang. By the time we got to the door, all we could see was a car pulling away. We looked out the door and there sat this giant cookie for Ryan! His secret admirer strikes again! They sure do know how to bring some very yummy treats for him!

Even the dogs got a special treat. I couldn't finish my dinner so they got to eat the rest of my pork roast. They sure felt the love!

New Nail Polish Inspired by Alice In Wonderland

I have really been enjoying some of the new, fun nail polish colors that have been coming out here lately. I've even been trying to plan a nail polish shopping trip with my friend Diana - well and lunch and some fun girl time! OPI, one of my favorite companies released a new collection based on the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie set to come out real soon. I love the color names that OPI uses. And this collection does not disappoint there. Another thing that I really love that they have been offering - you can get each color in a regular sized nail polish bottle sold individually or you can purchase the entire collection as one in miniature bottles. I love the small bottles, they are cute and the cost is a little better, especially if you want to have tons of different colors.

The full color collection:
This color is called Absolutely Alice - very pretty on. One warning though, the glitter polishes are very difficult to remove. I had a hard time taking them both off. On the plus side - they seem to last much longer on my nails. I am very hard on a manicure and have to repaint every couple days. With both of the glitters in this pack, I could go almost twice as long. The glitter is a little chunky but doesn't feel that way at all on your nails. It's pretty cool!

Thanks so Muchness:
