Nail Art: Gel Nails in Orchid Pink, Part 12

My inspiration for this shade of Pink:   I wanted a repeat of the vibrant color pictured on the right, though not an exact replica 🠚🠚

In a week's time is National PINK Day! 

I love the color pink -- plain and simple.  I wore my pink outfits at junior high as often as I could. I like it so much that I even had my house painted in a shade of pink at one time.  Boy, oh boy, did we get in trouble with some neighbors, lol 😁😀

Note: I have no intention of making a political statement, nor a politically-correct statement with this pink-themed post, period.  

Here are my nails in various shades of pink:

one of my favorites!

Designer Decor Candles I Like, Part 2

I want a nice-smelling house! Several pets living up-close-and-personal with you within the confines of your home will do that to a person. 

Thus, I am a sucker for sweet-smelling, good-quality candles,  sprays, or reed diffusers.  Pretty packages are a thumbs-up for me.  Famous names/brands impress me more than I care to admit.

MacKenzie-Childs: Summerhouse Flower Rug

Much detail is in every nook and cranny at the MacKenzie-Childs farmhouse. I noticed many beautiful flowers incorporated into their designs, so of course I also wanted flowers.  Why not a runner with flowers in vibrant colors by MC for my newly-renovated kitchen?  Nothing but the best for our sunny spot. No matter the weather or season outdoors, we have our MC Summerhouse Runner.

Goobers: Candy and Candles

Upon our arrival in the good ol' US of A*, I was very happy to discover the abundance and affordability of candy -- especially ones made of chocolate. 

I especially loved the taste of chocolate-covered raisins (Raisinets are the most popular); and chocolate-covered peanuts (Goobers are popular).

My memory was prompted by these cute candles -- also called GOOBERS, lol!

Quiet Town Home: Bathroom Purchases

I am pleased with a couple of my purchases from Quiet Town Home -- an up and coming husband-and-wife team whose company is based in Brooklyn, New York. Take a look at their unique bath accessory products H E R E. 

My master bath renovation had me in need of some basic items:

To protect my tub's back wall and the floor, I purchased 2 of the Sun Shower Orient Phlox -- I love PINK!

... and a M E N D O C I N O bath mat, also in some pink.  My purchase supported breast cancer research and elicited a nice personal note on a postcard.
