Packrat........

So we're moving soon so I'm packing like crazy. I hate moving and all the stress that comes with it. Not easy to do with a5 month old baby that want mommy all the time. But again it hit me, I have done a few moves before and each time I said to my self not to hold on to junk throw stuff away or donate them. Have I????
So we have this storage space under the stairs and I find 3 boxes of old baby clothes for boys, why didn't I just give tem to Goodwill 4 years ago when my now soon 5 year old grew out of them.... I don't know...... Then there's a bunch of kitchen gadgets I have 3-6 of..... It's crazy. I'm a packrat!! Oh, and did I mention we have a huge storage locker that is filled with stuff. I also have a few sets of really nice antique china and crystals that I got from my grandmother inlaw like 7 of them. and each is for 8-12 people. She used to have 3 houses and had them equipped and furnished to entertain friends and family. And now she has handed them all down to me. It's just a really big hassle to pack it all. Then the kids toys and all the other knick knacks we have gathered over the years. But I can say that since I've started packing I have a few loads that will go to Goodwill this time.
I just wish I was done and settled down in our new home, so much stress. Haven't really had time to do anything with my nails. Guess that is good since I have chipped and broken a few while packing.... And it has been raining like crazy in Utah, doesn't really help my mood. That and baby girl is teething so she's crying and just wants mommy all the time. Thank goodness for chocolates I got from back home, a bite of chocolate a day is like heaven these days. So funny sometimes that the simplest thing can make your day. And of course husband came home with some sushi, so sweet. That so made my day, I LOVE SUSHI. I can't stop eating it, it's like I have no limit with sushi. Good for me it's healthy, OMG I guess I should be happy it's not like that with burgers from In & Out. They have the best burgers when only junk food will do the trick. But enough babbling I should maybe try and get some more sleep. Yup, wrote this after one of baby girls late night feedings. But I hope you all will have a great Memorial Day with friends and family.

Review on stamping plates from born pretty store.

A little while ago I got my order from www.bornprettystore.com they sell nail art and beauty supplies. They added their card with the order saying if I would please review my items and post a video, pictures and so on on my website. So here it is. What I got was 10 image plates and some nail art brushes.
This will be my review on the image plates, I will be comparing them to Konad plates and Essence plate.
The main difference to Konad is the price if you order plates from www.wowsocool.com or www.ocnailart.com you pay $6.99 a plate. Or if your mall has a Konad seller like the one close to me you have to cough up $10.00 for one plate. At www.bornprettystore.com you pay $ 2.32 a plate, I know huge difference. And they have quite a few plates that are identical to Konad, they even have the same plate number. The only thing that sets them a part is born pretty plates don't have the sticker in the back, so the edges are sharper. So don't let your kids play with them, they can get cut and we don't want any of our little angels to get hurt do we???
Now next to the plate I have from essence way nicer images on the plate.... I don't really care for my essence plate, I never use it.
I ordered 10 plates that are identical to Konad plates. So how do they stamp compared to Konad??? I have used 3 plates since I got my order, and I haven't noticed any difference on the end result. Now that it's getting warmer I really need to hurry getting the stamp from the plate and onto my nail before it dries but that happens with my Konad plates too.
I am really happy with my order, and I love the plates. They work just like Konad.
So to wrap things up, I really likes these plates. I will check this store before I go to any of the Konad stores to get new plates. Who knows maybe they'll add more "Konad" plates by the time I want to add more plates to my collection. If they do I will buy the plates from them and just keep getting the stamping special polishes from Konad.
Born Pretty also have promos going on, you should "Like" them on Facebook. Like free Hello Kitty stamping plate, stickers and so on. So that's an other reason why I give Born Pretty Store two thumbs up. They care about their costumers.

Here are the pictures of the designs I used when I tried my BP plates.

Born Pretty Haul

So today I got my order from www.bornprettystore.com, I made the order 2 weeks ago. And it came all the way from Hong Kong, not bad at all when the shipping was free. You can get almost anything for your nail arts at bornprettystore.com and the great thing you don't feel like you've spent your whole pay check. They're a PayPal site and they also have an Ebay store, so you can search on ebay for them.

So what was it that got me hooked on this site?? Some of the nail stamping plates they sell are identical to the Konad brand ones you get from wowsocool or OCnailart, but for a lower price.  And they sell the famous Hello Kitty plate. When I made my order they had their already low priced image plates for 50% so $1.16, it was a special they ran for a couple of weeks or so. The normal price for one of their plates is $2.32  still a pretty good deal right? I think so. I got 10 plates that are identical as the ones from the Konad brand, they even have the same plate number as Konad.  I also got a nail art brush kit with 15 nail art brushes for $4.74. The price for my order was $20.00 and look at all the stuff I got.......... I will order from this company again, it will be the first site I go to for "Konad" plates to see if they have added any more plates that have the identical images as Konad. I also plan to  add some rhinestones and stickers next time I order from them. I have my eyes on some Hello Kitty ones. And I can't wait to try out my new plates. If you order any plates from this site, when you get your plates and are trying them  out and can't get your polish to get into the image you're not doing anything wrong.... There's is a thin plastic cover on the plate that you have to peel off before the first use.
But here's a closer look on my order from www.bornprettystore.com

Haul from Williams & Sonoma!

I love looking in the catalog from Williams & Sonoma, so much I want to order from there. I keep telling my husband: "When we win the Jackpot, I'm so gonna go crazy and order stuff like crazy." But I decided I wanted to make my first order and since I have two boys there are some really cool cookie cutters that I have been wanting for some time now. So I finally went online and clicked on the items that I wanted. I had to wait 4 days and then there was a BIG box outside my front door. So what did I order from w&S? Cookie cutters, pancake molds and aprons with Star Wars motives. I tried to take pictures of the aprons but didn't turn out well at all, so I have the picture of one from the W&S site. Here are the pictures of the cookie cutters and pancake molds. The cookie cutters are of the stamp spring - loaded kind, and the details are amazing. I can't wait to try them out. Here are the name of the sets & prizes on the items:

Plain adult Star Wars Apron                                $ 29.95

Plain child Star Wars Apron                                $ 19.95

Star Wars Heroes & Villains Cookie Cutters       $ 19.95

Star Wars Vehicles Cookie Cutters                     $ 19.95

Star Wars Heroes & Villains Pancake Molds      $ 19.95

Pancake molds: Darth Wader, Storm trooper & Yoda.

And now the cookie cutters:

Storm trooper & Yoda

Boba Fett & Darth Wader

Millennium Falcon & Wader's TIE Fighter

Death Star & X-Wing fighter

I got an adult size and child size.

My oldest son has started to dig Star Wars so I thought this would be cool, and it will only be a few years until my youngest boy start to dig Star Wars too. So I am well equipped to make the coolest cookies and pancakes.

Nail Polish Haul.

Is there a better way to welcome spring than getting nail polishes? Well, it may not be the best way but it's pretty good. To add some color to your nails after a long cold and dark winter, besides I bet that quite few people out there are adding some new spring and summer outfits to their wardrobe.
Why not add some new colors to go on your nails too? Well, I did.....
I saw some polishes from Nubar I really wanted to try out. I've never tried any polishes from Nubar before so decided to order a few polishes from them. I ended up getting 7 polishes  from their Prisms and Royal Gem Collection. I only had to wait 2 days and my order was in my mail box. Super fast shipping.... YAY...
The Royal Gem collections are all gem colors with glitter, and the Prisms Collection are holo's (I LOVE HOLO's like China Glaze OMG collection). I'm getting low on my OMG colors so I've been looking for new ones and found that Nubar have heir own collection.
Then I went to Wal Mart and I saw an Essie polish for 1 $ so I had to grab that, was clearance and only had that one color but still good deal for an Essie polish. So after a trip to Kohl's and my new polishes I am ready for spring to come my way. Here they are, the new adds for my growing nail polish collection:

from The Royal Gem Collection:

Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby & Sapphire

Prisms Collection + Essie:

Treasure, Absolute, Brilliant & Miami Nice
