My postings are sporadic and I often forget to
check my e-mail account linked to my blog. Because of this, I’m late to
the party. The Christmas in July party. Alyx over at Every Day is a New Adventure, had this
cute idea to have Christmas in July. They paired
me up with the amazing Evani from Simply Evani.
After a proper blog
stalking, I found she loves Essie nail polish and the color Teal. She loves to bake and even her cake pops turn out adorably. She's crazy for DIY projects and has this amazing knack for
accessorizing and putting together cute outfits. The kind I have to see already put together on a mannequin.
She’s sweet, accomplished, feminine and beautiful. We’re practically twins! If one
of those twins had been dragged off by a dingo and raised in the bush by
Canadian aborigines. You know, those kind of twins.
My package arrived at work with an absolutely
lovely note. And then I opened the first gift. Then the second. Then
another, and another. And that’s when I realized that Evani is a damned
cheater!!!! The gift was supposed to have a
$20 limit.

Check out these wicked photo skills! |
She also sent super cute hair/wrist ties and my favorite brand of makeup. MAC lip glass in Nymphette. Which I've been wearing every day since it arrived. She also sent Essie polish in Ole Caliente.
This is a little known fact by anyone who knows me in real life and has seen the recent state of my nails, but I LOVE nail polish and getting my nails done. By someone else. Someone I pay to do it for me.
In an overly optimistic attempt to rid myself of debt, I've cut out unnecessary expenses. Like manicures. I recently decided to take on this task myself. After all, how difficult can it really be? I've been cruising around the blogoverse and Pinterest for a while now. I'm jiggy with it. I've got the 411. I'm down!
I trolled around for some inspiration thinking I might get a little extra creative.

Reality. Check out those meaty paws. You can't even read the label. |
Evani, thank you so much for the gifts. You were beyond generous and I love all of it. Looking forward to blog stalking you some more, but right now, I've got a Chilean cab to drink.
