The Better Sparkly Nails & College Prep

Today as I was pulling out all my gear to give myself a manicure, my friend Shana sent me a text informing me of how lucky I was that I didn't have to sit through the French final review (seniors don't take end of the year exams at my school). And like a not very good friend, I laughed! It made me giddy that I had already put in my four years of hard work, and  while others are toiling away prepping for finals, I was sitting home drinking iced tea, listening to music, and trimming my cuticles.

Since summer is running our way, I thought I'd go for a bright white polish. It looked so fresh against my ruffle neck polo dress.

Then I saw the bottle of pink glitter Bestie brought me back from Korea, and decided to spice things up.

KAPOW! It's like 5th grade Valentine crafting all over again!

I also did some light reading as my nails dried. My beyond sweet English teacher saw U Chic in a book store, thought of me, and bought it as a just because gift. Isn't she the greatest? I must say from what I've read the book is clever, and the tips seem very practical.

A Restoration Hardware catalogue for baby and child came, and I'm really loving some of their duvet covers for my dorm. I'm aware that it's a bit decadent for a college dorm room, and that their stuff is generally meant for the under 14 set, but hey, YOLO.
