Happy Friday! Now that Valentine’s Day is passed, I’m back on my winter colors nail polishes for a few more weeks until Spring! I’ve been eager to get Smokin’ Hot back on my nails since before Christmas, so that’s my color of the week!

 I think that Essie’s Smokin’ Hot is honestly one of the prettiest colors out there, especially for winter, and I’m a huge fan. The purple-ish gray is so shiny and looks fantastic. Unlike some grey polishes, this one only took two coats to completely cover, without streaks.

Throwback post: This post is from February 2014: “I Choose BioSkin”

And here are some random Friday Facts:

1. I seem to forget how healthy flowers seem to be for me. I don’t forget that I like them, but once I’m around them again, I realize how calming and good for my soul they actually are. I need to do a better job of keeping them around in the winter, since my pots only stay alive until October 🙁

2. On Valentine’s Day I decided that any and all treats I wanted were fair game for the day… so naturally I started my day off with a chocolate chip cookie at 9 am. YUM! While I did eat real food throughout the day too, I certainly enjoyed more than my fair share of goodies. I don’t regret this.

3. There was a storm on Valentine’s Day, so I couldn’t go out to get a holiday donut (sad!), so I figured I’d end up getting one as I left church the day after. I walked into a gas station, and immediately smelled subway sandwiches, as there was a Subway in the station. I diverted my path and ended up getting a sweet chicken teriyaki sandwich stuffed FULL of veggies. It was delicious, and I think I made the right call 🙂

4. I’ve noticed a trend in the reviews of books I’ve written on goodreads lately: I say that I really liked some part in the book (either the beginning and end or something in the middle), but felt like I had to struggle through another part. I don’t know if it’s the books that I’m choosing, the mood that I’m in, or something else, but I just want a book that I enjoy from start to finish!!

5. Today is a retreat day at work, meaning that I only am seeing clients until 11 am. The rest of the day I’m spending with my co-workers catching up, eating good food, and some other things thrown in there too! I look forward to our mid-year retreat every year!

Now it’s your turn to share! What nail polish are you wearing right now? What’s one of your favorite books you’ve enjoyed reading lately?
