It's probably the only space on the internet that is genuinely a nice place to be. Now that I'm a full time stay-at-home mom, things can get a little bit lonely. The easiest remedy to that is to pull out the phone or tablet and browse the internet, which is honestly not the best idea. Even though I avoid obvious negativity magnets like Reddit or 4chan, and never ever read the comment sections on YouTube, I still see way too much negativity and it really gets to me! I can't be the only person who gets stressed about this kind of thing. I've done serious clean ups on my Facebook friends list, but it seems like there is always another annoying person sneaking their way back in! <br>
I feel like the blogging community is much easier to trust, if that is the right word. You can say everything you want to say and post all the family photos you want without worrying about if a 22 year old is going to complain (does anyone have that problem? Those friends you have that complain about everyone else getting married or getting pregnant? They are "totally not jealous" but ... yes, they are.) Maybe this is just a weird rant, but I opened up my Bloglovin feed the other day and checked out a couple blogs I hadn't looked at in a while and it really was refreshing to see the positivity there. It really made me realize that the negativity in the other online communities I've been frequenting is actually stressing me out to the point where I need to take a break. I'm too sensitive sensitive guess! Nothing even happened, nothing specific or anything, but a whole culmination of bad energy just kind of snowballed and I got tired of it. I won't be dramatically removing my Facebook account or anything but I think I will spend some more time reading blogs again. I actually went through my subscription list and almost half of the blogs I used to read are gone completely or abandoned. I leave for a few (okay, 8) months and lose half my reading list!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I want to contribute again as well. I think I've got a few good ideas in the works. We will see!</p>

I think I was just bored with blogs in general. Every time I would scroll through my Bloglovin feed I would see cliche post after cliche post and nothing was inspiring me anymore. I was also getting annoying emails from companies asking to blog about their products for free, which seems super fake and silly. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm at a loss as to what I should blog about. I haven't done much knitting or crochet (except for a cute Halloween granny square blanket!) and I don't really feel like posting recipes or anything. I guess I'll have to think about it. Maybe life updates are all I will do for the time being until I get some creativity flowing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Things are pretty much the same around here. Ellie has been tearing apart the house, as toddlers do. This winter has been very warm and we haven't had much snow, so yesterday I took Ellie and the Murray to the dog park (which is actually an island). I didn't get many pictures of him since he ran off as soon as I unleashed him.

<br />
School has been out for almost three weeks now and I'm starting to feel very bored. I've been running about four times a week but this past week I have fallen behind. We had a wedding to go to and my mom came to visit which made me sort of forget about healthy eating and put my running on hold. Not running makes me feel very lazy and tired! I feel like waking up takes forever and most of the day I'm groggy and can't focus on anything until about 4 pm. As a night owl this is pretty normal and I used to just stay up late getting things done, but with a baby who likes to be up at 9 am this doesn't really work anymore.<br />
<div>
Even though I have avoided running for the past week I am happy to say that I'll be running my very first official race in a few hours! It's Pride Week here in Buffalo and I'll be doing the Gay 5k run.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This Saturday I'll be going to see drag queens Pandora Boxxx and Violet Chachki. I saw Pandora Boxxx in Anchorage a few years ago and was going to get a picture with her until a creepy middle aged guy tried to talk me into going home with him and his wife. Gross. Hopefully no such thing will ruin my time this year!<br />
<br />
Other things I've been up to lately:<br />
<br />
<b>Reading: </b><i><u>What I Talk About When I Talk About Running</u></i>, by Haruki Murakami<br />
<br />
<b>Listening to:</b> Laura Nyro, <i>The First Songs</i> on vinyl.<br />
<br />
<b>Watching:</b> <i>Twin Peaks, RuPauls Drag Race, Parks and Recreation, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic</i> (No, Ellie is not watching it, I am. You read that correctly.)<br />
<br />
<b>Wearing:</b> Pastel pink shorts, a black band tee and pink studded converse.<br />
<br />
<b>Cooking: </b>Roasted cauliflower and broccoli have been favorites. I did make some killer turkey meatballs the other day too.<br />
<br />
<b>Hair:</b> I recently got the "lob" and I love it. I just did a fresh bleach and color too. I've been entertaining the idea of a a more lavender-pink color and I've tried a new brand of dye which I thought would give me that effect. Strangely it ended up the same pink as my previous dye. Whatev!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Shopping:</b> I am still on a mission to have some sort of personal style, which I found is not readily available at any mall. I managed to find a Plato's Closet, which Anchorage also had, and they have great used clothes! I picked up a pair of studded gladiator sandals and a bunch of tops for summer. I have to keep myself from shopping there too often or I'll end up spending too much money!<br />
<br />
I'll have to post up some of the photos from the pirate theme wedding we went to this past weekend. Maybe a blogging schedule will make me feel a little less bored now that summer is almost here?<br />
<br />

This was one of those days when I spent soooooo much time doing a design and never managed to get a good picture! My hands were completely dried up no matter how much hand cream or oil I used. I pretty much photoshopped the crap out of these pictures to make my hands look normal. After this design I had to clip off the gel extensions I had on and now I'm giving my real nails some time to grow out a little bit before I try them again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My first race is coming up and it's the "Gay 5K" during Pride Week! I may have to try out another rainbow design for race day. </div>

I did a couple of designs with my new lavender polish but I got super lazy and didn't take take many pictures. The first one I like because it looked like a starry night with lavender fading to purple fading to black. The second one I didn't like very much though. Maybe I'll improve on the first design and post it again! </div>

I did my own gel extensions this week! I have really strong natural nails so I don't really need to do extensions, but I liked the idea that I can sculpt them to the shape I want. My natural nails can be bumpy and some curve more than others so with extensions they would theoretically turn out straight and smooth. They still turned out bumpy, but it was my first try and it's really not that bad. I had three break on my right hand but I was able to glue them back on without a problem. It was extremely time consuming but I had fun doing it! I never really liked getting professorial manicures even though they are much more skilled than I am and turn out better in the end. I always thought it was fun to do my nails. I remember having those peel-off nail polish kits as a kid and making all sorts of designs. I uess I haven't gotten over it!</div>

Festival season is here and we have been trying to get out to as many events as possible. My dad used to go to the Rochester Lilac Festival when he was a kid. It was fun even though we got rained out only a couple hours after getting there. We still managed to get in some dancing!</div>

We still have class next week but most of the big assignments have already been turned in. Now I can relax a little bit before finals week. Lucky for me I only have two finals and one should be a breeze.<br />
My mom came out this past weekend to hang out with us and Ellie. We ran around all weekend and had lots of fun! I have lots of backyard pictures to share. I'm loving the warm weather and sunshine.<br />
<br />
Ellie inspired my nails this week! My aunt got her this cute leopard print fleece onesie with a little hood and heart shaped knee patches. It was a little tricky to paint the heart and then put the gemstones on my nail but I like how it turned out.<br />

I love this look! It's so simple but the neon pink is adorable. I love how the green bow goes with it. I feel like Barbie. I've actually had a few instances where I wanted to flip someone off while driving (people honked at me for stopping for a school bus... really??) and I feel like it would be extra sweet to flip them off with this cute green bow on my nail... Is that's weird?</div>

Anyway... It's getting closer to the end of the semester and the homework is piling up. Soon it will be summer break and I'll officially be a stay at home mom for a few months. Yay! </div>

I'm loving this spring weather... after so much snow being in my life the warm air and sunshine is amazing. I feel like I'm in California again.</div>

This kit was a little more confusing than the last one I did so we had to look up exactly how to do it so we didn't mess up. I may have spent 5 years studying Japanese but I can't read a word of it! Well... I can make out "Do-na-to" on the package... lol</div>

The chocolate sauce was delicious! They also had strawberry and vanilla icing, sprinkles and little crunchies for decoration. When we finished we both ate a doughnut and they tasted really great! The texture of the donuts was weird but all the flavors were yummy. Much better than the sushi kit! We even stole some extra tastes of the chocolate sauce that we didn't use. </div>

Ellie is one year old today! We had her birthday party a day early so my mom, my brother and my sister in law could come over. It was so fun to see how happy she was when I gave her the smash cake I made. She would look at it and touch it carefully, poking it with one finger. Then she would smear some of the icing off. Then she would squish the cake in her hands and dig into the middle of it. Finally she started smacking it and dumping the cake everywhere and smearing it all over her face and dress! I loved it. </div>

To be truly grunge all you would have to do is slap on some black polish and let it chip off for a few weeks, but that's no fun unless you have better things to do like practice with your garage band.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For my index finger and pinky I painted on the China Glaze Bottoms Up first and then applied the Sinful Colors Black Crackle to the top after it dried. The crackle color is pretty matte itself but I still coated them with OPI's Matte Top Coat once the nails were completely dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My thumb, middle and ring finger I painted black. Then I used the striping brush to apply the pink stripes to my ring finger. I was so happy that the brush worked to well! It was really easy to draw the lines straight. I applied the matte to my ring finger after this as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the flower pattern on my thumb and middle finger I coated the black with matte polish and then used a dotting tool to make slightly irregular flower shapes with the China Glaze Bottoms Up. On top of the pink blobs I again used the dotting tool to add Wet ' Wild Dreamy Poppy. Then I used L.A. Colors Palm Tree and a smaller dotting tool to add green leaf blobs (it's not so important to make it look perfect) Lastly I added some little pink rhinestones to the center of each flower.</div>

It was pretty easy to figure out how to do it even if you don't read Japanese. I still looked at a video to make sure I didn't mess it up. Each tray had little numbers or letters that matched the powder packets. </div>

You add packs of powder to water and mix them in the different molds. One was like tuna and the other was made to look like egg. The rice was just chopped up white jelly and the seaweed was a weird taffy thing that you molded into a strip. Everything was a strange gelatinous consistency.</div>

Friday morning was my yearly tradition of saying, "Hey, is it Passover? It's Passover! YESSSSS, I'm making FOOD!!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have this memory of a certain mystery food that was spread on matzo bread from Passover when I was a kid. It was sweet and I can never figure out what it was. </div>

I made matzo ball soup with parsley, dill, parsnips, tri-colored carrots and celery. I love that purple carrot. Matzo ball soup is delicious if you have never tried it. Usually it has chicken in it too but I didn't think we needed two meats since I also made salmon with a horseradish and dill cream sauce. For the side I made tri-colored fingerling potatoes and roasted beets.</div>

Happy Friday! This week was a little rough for me. I totally bombed a math quiz that I spent HOURS studying for and I got another parking ticket at the school. Lots of really great things happened though. The highlight was that Ellie can WALK now! She's so cute wobbling around. She has a bruise on her butt from plopping down on it. After I came home from my crappy quiz day Ellie came wobbling up to me for a big hug. The sweetest!!</div>

On to my nails for this week... I cut them short again because the length was getting annoying. Immediately after I cut them I found a video showing how to file perfect almond shape nails and I regretted it. I want my nails sharpened to a point like Miss Kitty! Also my nail art haul from Amazon finally got here. I have a whole set of nail guides in different shapes, gems, pearls, roses, bows, pink brushes and dotting tools. </div>

The husband will have to be on nail photo duty from now on because I can't get a picture with my real camera that is any better than my iPhone! I discovered that I cannot get it to focus on me if I set it up and move in front of it. Yay. I know nothing about cameras and the more I try to learn the more confused I am. It's worse than my pre-calculus class.</div>

I finally got my pink bow nail charms! I love them!! I have to watch out for the bows snagging on things which is a little weird, but it's also pretty weird having my nails so long. I used to grow my nails all the time when I was younger. They are strong enough, grow fast, and I never really break them or chip them. With the military I usually kept them short even though I was allowed to grow them 1/4 inch (without nail polish.) It just felt too weird to get my hands dirty like that with long nails. Now I can have princess nails!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stopped by Sally's Beauty Supply and picked up a couple of fresh new pastels to get me in the mood for spring. By the way, did you know it's snowing in Buffalo? Yay. Super yay. My new polishes certainly brightened up this snowy and dreary day. I can't wait to try them out!</div>

Nothing reminds me more of a "family road trip" than Niagara Falls. Maybe Mount Rushmore and the Hoover Dam too. Those boring things you go see because it's family friendly and very Americana. Niagara Falls we went to see because it was part of my assignment for a class. I went there as a kid and remember waiting in line forever on the Canadian side in those dumb ponchos to go to the cave behind the falls or whatever. It was okay. </div>

Joe had never been to Niagara Falls before. I thought that was weird because he grew up in New York all his life until he moved with me to Alaska. I thought everyone had gone there as a kid at some point!</div>

I know that I'm a grown adult and I probably shouldn't be doing ridiculous things like carrying around a cell phone that looks like someone barfed up candy onto it, but at this point I don't care. It's just way. too. cute. Back in the days of flip phones I used to hang adorable Japanese charms and super glue Swarovski crystals all over my phone, so nothing has really changed. I am, so my husband says, a 7 year old stuck in a 29 year old's body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since the iPhone came out I was a little sad that I couldn't put charms on it and make it cute. Most of the cases were just "eh." The most I saw was those little dust caps that go into the headphone jack and have charms attached to it. It's a pretty good idea but I needed <i>more</i>. Then I stumbled upon decoden! It was just as ridiculously cute as I needed it to be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Decoden" is a craft where people adhere cute little charms called "cabochons" to things using a silicon cream. The cream can be bought in different colors and many people just use caulking from the hardware store. You pipe it on the item you are decorating with an icing bag and icing tip to make it look like cake icing or whipped cream. Then you place cute charms on it along with pearls, rhinestones or anything else you want. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ordered my charms from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HappyKawaiiSupplies" target="_blank">Happy Kawaii Supplies</a> on Etsy and I was really happy with it. You can order the clear case, the cream, charms, and anything else you would need.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then take your nail file and scratch up the top of the clear case so that the cream will stick to it a little better. Don't worry, you won't see it after you are done. Don't scratch up the sides of the case though. Now take out your cabochons and see what you want to use. I chose a sweets theme and purchased the large 25 piece assorted sweets pack so I had many options. I also got two large pink bows to use as the main focal point.</div>

Arrange the pieces on the case approximately where you want them to go and take a photo with your phone so you can refer to it later. This is very important since you don't want to make a mistake and mess up your nice piping work.</div>

Take your puff paint in whatever color you would like. I chose the Scribble Pop "Hot Chocolate" so it would look like chocolate sauce. You can do strawberry sauce, green ooze or even a blood color if you're into that. "Pastel Goth" is a thing, right?</div>

Drizzle the puff paint onto the edges of the case to look like it's melting. You can purchase hot glue in various colors and do this with a hot glue gun if you want to. It hardens faster that way too! I chose puff paint and I like the results, but be careful not to touch it as it dries for a few hours. I added some rhinestones and polymer clay sprinkles around the camera area since I have to keep that part clear of the cream. </div>

The only thing disappointing was that the light purple "simulation cream" I ordered was in too small of a tube to cover my entire phone case. Also the icing tips it came with were very small. I decided to use this for another project and went out to Michael's to pick up Mod Podge Collage Clay. It comes with enough cream for a ton of projects, comes with three large icing tips and you can get it in "Vanilla" (white) or "Strawberry" (pink) and it only cost $9. I'm really happy this exists!!!!! Mod Podge had a whole new collection of products that I was happy to see too, including puff paints in brown, pink and red, and hot glue sticks in similar colors, I assume for projects just like this one.</div>

Today I just said screw it. I'm putting sparkles on my nails. It's my first attempt so I didn't expect it to be brilliant but I'm posting it anyway. I'm still waiting for all my cute nail supplies to arrive so I can practice for now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Spring break is here! I can't believe it's been that long since classes started. I still have so much to do and time just keeps flying by. Ellie is going to be one year old soon, how insane is that?</div>

I'm a little late on today's post! I added a couple of piercing pictures too. I've been thinking about all my old piercings I used to have. They are all closed up now except for my little extra earlobe piercing on my left ear. I will always have a little navel piercing scar, a reminder that I grew up in the 90's. I have a scar on my nose too but you can't see it unless you really look. The rest are all distant memories, although once in a while I will get that weird feeling on my tongue like I want to play with the bar but it's not there. A ghost tongue piercing I guess!</div>
