Hi Friends! Welcome to our special Friday edition of Stuff & Things! If you’re new here and want to hang out with us for Stuff & Things in the future, it’s usually on Thursdays!
>> The one thing I actually really asked for this year was a Plum Paper Planner. Since that’s such a customized gift, the husband selected the cover he wanted for me, but I ordered the planner. When I did, I asked if they ship UPS. They said yes. So I gave them my house address. Well, turns out they ship UPS Mail Innovations which basically tag teams with USPS…which doesn’t come to my house. So there I was in a panic thinking my package would get lost or…worse, shipped back to CA. So I called my post office (I know, the week of xmas…) to see if they could help me out! They assured me they’d hold on to the package and I had a nice chat with the guy. There you have it, folks. A perk of living in a TINY town (the post office was empty!) Also–total thumbs up to Plum Paper for getting the planner here BEFORE xmas when I ordered after their cut off date!
>> My 4.5 year old nephew broke his arm on Christmas Eve. Now, I wasn’t there for the blessed event, but the story he told his mother when she asked how the hell it happened is: “I was waiting for my super powers to engage, but I think they’re broken.” When he walked into my sister’s house yesterday afternoon, arm bandaged up to his shoulder, he held up his good hand before anyone could ask him “I’m feeling FINE!” Kids. Hilarious.
>> The husband did real good and got me the Sensationail Gel Manicure set!! This is the color that came with the kit, Raspberry Wine, and it’s freaking gorgeous. The system was extremely easy to use, and I seriously loved the “no dry time” thing since I finished this mani literally seconds before we ran out the door to head to my sister’s! While I’m usually too polish ADD to commit to a manicure for 14+ days, sometimes a shellac mani just makes life easier. Traveling and weddings especially! I can’t wait to try out some other colors in the line!

The gel is great for vacations. You can't beat it. That's a lovely color!
LOL @ your nephew. Too cute.
I have a Plum Paper for 2015, I set it all up and can't wait to use it. I'm glad yours arrived in time!
There are definitely some perks of small towns. Glad you got your planner!
And as usual, gorgeous nails lady!
I've been wanting to try one of those gel sets. That color is great!
Sounds like your nephew is in pretty good spirits about having a broken arm. I loved his version of what happened :-p
OHMy he broke his arm?! At least he took it with humor. Love your nails…they definitely looks fantastic. I might have to hint around the house that this would be the perfect gift next year. 🙂 Hahahaha.
LOL waiting for super powers to engage? Kids are just the best with what they say!!! Glad "he's fine."
That color is just gorgeous! Love it!
Beautiful nail color. And your poor nephew! His super-powers… awwww. Love kids!

So I alternated my outings Boost with these adidas originals online Mizuno Wave Sayonara my favorite courses such as road and other roads passable. Their fit is very comfortable and despite their "neutral feet" orientation adidas store I had the slight feeling of forced supination. The laces are catchy, simple lacing enough but I blame too low positioning of the outer bottom eyelet on the seam of the tongue. adidas factory outlet This extra thickness creates a pressure on the foot.
