Only Fluff & Updates Today Folks…

Funny…and while I don’t really identify with the concept of buying happiness from a store, these polishes did make me smile. And, this business definitely has a clever packaging game. All photos by Ariana

I’ve had to fit a few extra things into my schedule this week, and I came home today from an appointment with my dermatologist and I just needed to lay down for a few minutes. Since the last item they cut off a few months ago was from dysplasia-land with atypia, the dermatologist did another full skin check and decided something else merited biopsy. And now, I need to keep a promise to Hannah and take care of some other things. And, I could either spend more time and write something slightly more relevant to my blog theme, or keep my promise. I’m going for the latter…which means y’all are getting fluff & stuff this week.

But before I go, just a few notes:

Please remember that dental abscesses of any kind can become serious. This was my latest here (which popped up late last week). Because I called in for antibiotics and saw my dentist right away, this thankfully ended up being contained to an infection in the gums.

Some of you by now are probably noticing that fabulous necklace I’m sporting. It is certainly much more fun to look at than the inside of my mouth, if you ask me. My sister made it for me (rainbow themed for pride), and I couldn’t love it more! Literally, it goes with everything, though I’ve been a bit more on the obsessed with peaches and corals side this month.

A few other things I have loved:

Some of you have wondered where some of my nail polishes have been coming from. Some of the ones that have made me smile the most have come from Polish Me Silly on Etsy. My favorite eyeshadow palette purchase for the past month was Adept Cosmetic’s House of El…literally I have used the shimmers in probably 30% of my looks, I’m that obsessed with them. I also really love the coral shade in the Viseart peche quad (which I am wearing in the picture of my gum abscess), and surprisingly I added a new eyeshadow primer to my top three: Dominique Cosmetics Everlasting Eyeshadow Base (provides great adherence and isn’t completely stark white, which makes it easier to create a quicker neutral look if I want one…which sometimes I do).

The shimmers are from House of El…
