Inspiration for doing manicures at home – cuticle oil and neutral nail polish.

I was on Spring Break this week, and it’s the first time I’ve felt really relaxed in a long time. I gave the house a much needed deep clean before my mom came in town Tuesday and spent the rest of the week on some solid girl time. We went hiking, went for a nice lunch at a vineyard and did some shopping. My natural inclination is to go away whenever I can, but it was great to stay close to home and catch up with my mom.

My first pair of designer heels.

Now that I wear eye makeup, I need this.

Finally a nice makeup bag to keep the essentials corralled.
