Another Nail Polish Shelf...



Wow! It's been well over a month since my last post. I have lots of drafts pending, but I never get around to actually publishing them. But, I had to post this one. 


I made another shelf!! See the original post, including the "how to" video here. I needed a 2nd one so bad! But now I realize I need a 3rd one! The same day I hung 2nd one, I bought 3 more polishes, and have bought a total of 9 more since then!! And let me tell you, I love them all!!I love sitting here and coming up with ideas, and searching the web and Instagram to be inspired by others. It's the best hobby. Really it is. No really. It is. Now some of you hard core lacquer heads might be saying "haha she got a small time collection", and I do compared to some I've seen. Some of you have them logged in your computer & saved by brand & name...whoa.

I haven't counted my polishes in a while, don't know if I want to, but for the sake of some young lady really wants to make this shelf & wants to know how many bottles the shelves will hold...here we go...

The shelf on the left, which houses mainly OPI, China Glaze, Zoya & Sally Hansen, currently has 192 bottles on it.


The shelf on the right, which houses my Sinful Colors, Wet n Wild, Orly, KleanColor, etc. etc. currently holds 211 bottles. A bulk of the bottles on this shelf are skinny & compact, like Milani, Ruby Kisses & some of my indie polishes. So the smaller/thinner the bottle, the more bottles u can get on a shelf!


So ok...that means I currently have 431 bottles of nail polish. This is both shelves plus the bottles that would not fit on the shelves & the brand new bottles! Wow...how fun!!

Let me know if you make one. Again here is the link for the what you'll need, and my YouTube video.  

Thanks for reading!!

3 Ways To Enjoy Greek Yogurt

I have a love/hate relationship with Greek yogurt. I don't like it plain. And sometimes it's even hard for me to have the flavored ones, even with fruit on the bottom. I mainly consume them for the protein, so I had to think of ways that would make them enjoyable to eat.

The 1st way to make Greek yogurt easy to "get down" is in a smoothie. This is one of many that I have posted on Instagram. it consists of blueberries, bananas, kiwi, strawberries & Chobani Blueberry Greek yogurt. I usually add milk to thin it to a drinkable consistency, but in this particular one I used a V8 Pomegranate Blueberry energy drink. Yummy!


The next way to enjoy Greek yogurt is probably my favorite way. 
1 container Chobani Banana yogurt
1 tbsp PB2
1tbsp Agave Nectar
Mix ingredients directly in Chobani container & sprinkle with cinnamon. Voila! Peanut Butter & Banana yogurt. Guilt free snack!


The last way is a big fav of mine also. 2 tbsp of Hidden Valley Ranch "Original" mixed directly in a container of plain Chobani yogurt. The perfect dip for your favorite chips or crackers!! And you can't even tell that its yogurt. Another guilt free perfect snack!! 

I'm sure there are many more ways to transform this popular yogurt. Please do not hesitate to let me know. I am constantly trying new things, and I love getting suggestions from everyone.
Thanks for reading!!
