Nailpolish Muchness!

Posted on by

Silly me, I cut my too long nails last night.

Today I am trying the Shellac Manicure!

It is supposed to last forever and a day. Hmmmmmm…. my manicures, without fail, last till about 3 minutes before I leave the salon. And then they’re 90% gone within 24 hours. I’m a nail polish picker.

I’m taking an expensive lear of faith with this Shellac mani / pedi. I expect it to last me till the end of July. 30 DAYS!!!

I’m giving the shellac the 30 Day Challenge!!! I’ll let you know!

Summer Muchness

Posted on by

I havent posted in a few days. I think its cuz ive been feeling out of touch with The Much. I tried denying it at first but now that summer is in full swing, its a lot to deal with. This is the first summer since ’08 that I am not pregnant. I leave the house and smell the summer smells and I’m transported back to either the summer I carried my twins, anxious every single minute about the next minute, or, I am transported to my next pregnancy with Liat and how emotionally overwhelming that was.
I hope this summer to make new, fresh, muchy memories so next summer I have good, happy summer memories to look back on.
One day at a time… The world keeps on spinning….

Scratch that! I just read my last line: “I hope this summer to make new, fresh, muchy memories so next summer i have good, happy summer memories to look back on.”

SCREW THAT!!
I PLAN to MAKE this summer FULL of new, fresh, muchy memories so next summer I have good, happy summer memories to look back on!!!!

INTRODUCING …..MUCHKINS!!!! AND, a Reader Submission!!!

Since Finding The Muchness is closely related to tapping into the joy and happiness many of us had easier access to as kids, the Muchness is obviously going to resonate with kids, and, If Courtney and Shannon’s kids are evidence of it… so is every 6-14 year old girl in my hemosphere.

Today, we received our First Official Muchkin* Submission!!

** Her initial. Duh.

SHARING THE MUCHNESS! (and a bit of self-promotion)

Seems my super unique “Much or too much” shoes are pretty popular! They’re called The Skate shoe from Jeffrey Campbell and it seems people are selling them all over the web. <—– That last one is Nordstroms, people.

So what did I do? I showed them folks at Jeffrey Campbell my unique-er spin on their unique-ish shoes.

HELLO MUCHNESS!!!!
