#ManiMonday - Blizzard Nails!!! + Update

It's Monday which means it's time to share my current manicure. It couldn't really be more simple, but it looks cool and somewhat complicated. I simply painted 2 coats of Zoya's "Kristen," which is a beautiful slightly grey-toned baby blue that just screams cold weather to me. It has a fantastic formula. Very smooth, even and covers well. 2 coats probably wasn't even necessary, but I did it for good measure...and out of habit. I topped that with 1 coat of "Whitechapel" from Nails Inc. which I absolutely adore. Unfortunately I don't think it's still available, but it's a gorgeous clear base chopped full of white hexagonal glitter, tiny gold specks of glitter and very fine white bar glitter. I really loved this combination last year but never managed to photograph it and decided to go for it again this year. It just reminds me of a spectacular winter blizzard and I love it! Of course it's currently an unseasonable 60-70 degrees out here, but no complaints from this warm weather lover. :)

On a personal update kinda note, I am currently waiting to pick up my poor little baby kitten Bailey from a dental cleaning and major tooth extraction. :( If you remember a few years ago I posted weekly updates about Bailey right after she joined the family so if you fancy seeing Bailey as a baby and her growth to a whopping 7 pound Ragdoll mix, search for "Bailey" or "kitten" and the posts will probably pop up. Anyway, I believe she had 9 teeth removed. She has some sort of gum issue that is apparently common to the breed that makes her susceptible to something...I can't remember what specifically...and the vet is trying to prevent her loosing all of her teeth. Poor little Boo Bear! I'm hoping she doesn't hate me when I pick her up!
On another note, posts may still be slow as there are many a surgery happening around my world - not to me, but someone close to me - that have kind of disrupted the flow of, well, everything. :) Christmas will have to be delayed as the surgery is scheduled on the 22nd, but it was delayed for a similar reason last year too. Not a big deal really, just unfortunate that the surgeries have been necessary at all. But that's life and you do your best to plod along.

I'm not gonna lie, it's been kind of refreshing not to have to worry about what to post, taking pictures, getting the posts together and all the things that come along with blogging...many of which I'm absolutely rubbish at! :) I intend to get back in the swing of things, but I'm not sure when. I definitely think I'm burned out at the moment. I have a few post ideas here and there, but the thought of sitting down to write them just exhausts me further. So for the time being, I guess I'm taking a break. I may post something here and there and Favorites posts are always fun for me so those may continue until I make a full return, but no promises for anything regular right now. Thank you all so much for being understanding and I hope you'll stick with me through this rough patch. I look forward to having the energy to post regularly again and I will try to make it know when I'm intending to be "back" on social media...if I can remember! :) Such a bad blogger. Anyway, thank you for your continued support and I hope you are all having a fantastic Holiday Season!!!
