Going to the nail salon can be a lot of fun. Several people I know have it as a staple of their self-care routine. And it’s easy to see why. You feel pampered and who doesn’t love cute nails? I was a huge advocate of nail salon visits upon moving to Dallas. But my random schedule, location(s), and cost drove me away from the habit. Not to mention, the electric filing on my nails were not doing them any favors. In today’s post I am sharing with you what I have found to be the easiest DIY manicure!

quick look at all the costumes I will be describing

With only a couple weeks until Halloween, now is when we truly see the differences in society.

But we aren’t all made of money, I know I’m not! But how do you know if those cheap swimsuits you’re getting ad targeted for on Instagram are worth it?

From My Kitchen: Ginger Syrup

rooftop pool drink

Moscow Mules. They have nothing to do with Moscow, but they are delicious! I think I was introduced to them sometime after moving to Dallas. Maybe it was when I met my friend Meg at The Statler’s pool over last summer. ANYWAY it was love at first sip for sure. Easy to drink, not too sugary, and refreshing! Here I’m going to show you the recipe I found and followed to make ginger syrup that is the base for the best Moscow Mule I’ve had!
