The Little Things

Happiest of Fridays to each of you! Today is the start of a few weeks of “slow season” at work, so I’m extra-celebrating this Friday! In honor of all the extra Christmas celebrations at work this week, I painted my nails in typical Christmas party fashion. I’ve done this the past two years as well, and it’s my go to Christmas look:

 Bogota Blackberry OPI nail polish

Nice and simple! This is OPI’s “Bogota Blackberry”, which is a nice and simple cranberry red with a bit of shimmer. It goes on SO smooth (even though it’s a few years old now), and it’s a classic color that works throughout the winter. I paired it with OPI’s “The World Is Not Enough”, which is a Bond Collection color. To me, this is the ideal Christmas color set!

And now on to a few random facts from the week:

1. On my way home from work yesterday, I took a few minutes to drive though the driving lights display in a near by town. I rolled down my windows, turned up the heat, ate a mini candy they gave out at the entrance, and enjoyed all the lights! It’s a yearly tradition that I really enjoy!

2. This past Saturday a large group of us got together to celebrate Melissa’s birthday! I had a blast spending the entire day with these ladies and line dancing for a few  five hours. It took me the whole next day to recover- I’m not a teen anymore…

3. I’ve been sleeping on my couch so I can enjoy my Christmas lights while falling asleep. Yes- I understand that it’s very “small child” of me, but I don’t care. I love it. I’ve done this at least part of the Christmas season for quite a few years.

4. I’ve been drinking this candy cane flavored coffee all week, and I am so obsessed with it! Has anyone else tried it?

5. I have some REALLY REALLY REALLY exciting news to share on the blog next week, so make sure to check back in to see what it is 🙂 I’ll also have a giveaway going next week.

Now it’s your turn to share! Do you have a favorite “go to” Christmas or holiday nail polish? Share something random from your week?

  1. Love the nail polish idea. My husband and I are attending a Christmas party this evening and my nails are currently a blank slate. Time to do something fun and creative. ☺

    Is your hair naturally curly or straight? So pretty! I used to sleep on my couch all the time before I was married. There is something cozy about wrapping up in a blanket and being in that comfort zone.

      Yes- party nails are a must at Christmas! 🙂 My hair is naturally curly. In the picture above I got out of the shower, threw some hair gel in it, shook it, and let it air dry. It’s so quick and easy, and I really like it. 😀
      The couch is so comfortable, right?
      I hope you have a great time at your Christmas party tonight!

  2. Love the Archer Farms flavored coffee. It has the strongest flavor!
