Have I told you about my addiction? Fingernail selfies. Julep

First of all.. if you don't know me personally.  I'm pretty "low maintenance" in the whole "looks" department.  I don't really wear make-up, I rarely "do" my hair, a hair clip is usually my go to and I wear SAHM clothes.  It's just who I am and the stage of my life right now.


My name is Mommy and I take fingernail selfies... I can't help it! I also post them to my Facebook!  It's just something I do.  I'm completely GUILTY of this!


I have one girly thing that I enjoy doing. Painting my nails for these reasons.

1) It's the only thing I really do for my "girl self" on a regular basis.

2) A pretty nail helps me with my obsessive nail biting and picking.  I'm told this is a sign of perfection - I'm also told it's part self cannibalism.  So... obviously I need to control this. 



What started as a way to quit a bad habit has morphed into a an obsession.  Let me introduce you to my 43 little friends.
Yes I own all of these... soon 4 more will arrive at my door.



I LOVE NAIL POLISH.  
SPECIFICALLY JULEP NAIL POLISH.
It's the only one I have found that will last 5 days with out chipping.


Sorry to text yell, but I get really excited.


For those of you who don't know what Julep is it's a monthly subscription service that sends you product.  There are many of these out there.

I personally have decided these services are the best thing ever and wonder why it took so long for them to be so available?  Currently I subscribe to two, the Dollar Shave Club which saves me a ton of money and Julep Maven (which doesn't save me money but makes me happy with spending money).

The reason I am writing this blog post today, is I just got my notification of what is going to be sent to me in my next box.  I then changed out one product for another (the freedom to personalize your box is truly genius), because I can :).   


I like the option to make sure I don't get doubles or triples of the same color (although that rarely happens), but I try not to alter it too much.  I have found the colors I enjoy the most are not the ones I would have picked out  I have learned to trust who ever is on the other side of that choosing process and they are usually right.  I have loved almost every single one of their picks over my own.

Let me show you just a few of the things I have done recently.
