SHOPPING LOCALLY

SHOPPING LOCALLY

I strongly feel that it is important to buy our goods from small businesses and locally as often as you can. I try to buy groceries at my local farmers market on the weekends and now that I have my jewelry on Etsy, I'm realizing how important it is to buy from other designers too!  Supporting local businesses is also VERY important! Recently, I've been introduced to two local cupcake shops that I thought were amazing and I just had to share them with you all!  

A delicious White Russian cupcake from a local and family-owned business, Kiddough's Bakery, Redlands, CA.


 Tried these beautiful Valentines Day cupcakes at a work event, Delicious!!!  From a local, female-owned business, TrulyCupcakes, Inland Empire, CA.

 
So, whether its your sweet treats, or other necessities, make your local small businesses your first stop!

NAIL ART

NAIL ART


To get this fun nail effect I used two of my current favorite techniques.  First, paint the base (darker) color all over your entire nail bed. Then with a careful hand paint a brighter color on half of your nail.  Try a glittery or shiny color for contrast.  Then top off your two-toned nails with a clear glitter polish.  Finally, apply your favorite top coat.....and there you have it! I used:, Essie Power Clutch, Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors and Essie Set in Stones Lux Effects.  What combinations do you like?
