My Jamberrys Are Here

My Jamberry starter kit arrived on Saturday!  And it was packed full of goodies - 4 sheets of wraps, a mini heater, cuticle oil, nail files, nail buffers, cuticle scissors, orange sticks, alcohol wipes, 50 sheets of free samples, a cute Jamberry travel bag, some Jamberry catalogs and postcards!  Check it out!

The best part was that it was only $99 for the kit, BUT since I signed up in August I have the chance to get $50 of that back - making the kit $49 (or the cost of 4 sheets of wraps).

The best part of signing up though?  I get 30% off of all of my personal orders - which I have already taken full advantage of.

Anyway, my kit is here, so if you have any interest in trying out a free sample, just fill out this form here.

Or if you have any interest in having me do a FREE online party for you so that you can earn some free wraps and more, just contact me on my Facebook page here.

Maine Mountains

We got back from our amazing Maine trip!  We had a wonderful time and got lots of hiking in and the puppy had a blast!

Hitting the Open Road

My husband and I are finally taking our first vacation since our honeymoon ( so our first vacation in almost a year) - YAY!

We're heading to Roque's Bluff, Maine for a week.  We hit the road last night and spent the night in Freeport, Maine.  This morning we checked out L.L. Bean's Flagship store - which if you haven't been there, was basically it's own city.  And we also checked out the L.L. Bean Freeport Outlet.  If you haven't caught on yet, we love L. L. Bean.  The outlet was amazing - we got some STEALS on everything- we bought at least 10 pair of pants between the two of us - all of them $10 or less.  We each also found hiking boots for $80 - those will probably come in handy during this vacation since we realized that we both needed new hiking boots when we were packing.  Oh and our furry family member is joining us for some hiking fun with her own L.L. Bean hiking boots!

 Anyway, we're on the road again and heading to our second L.L. Bean outlet (in Bangor, Maine) and then we'll finish the trip and arrive in Roque's Bluff.

I'm looking forward to spending a week here:

Jamberry

So if you're like me, you somehow have no idea what Jamberry is?  And no it's not some sort of jam and I'm not talking about the children's book.

* These are all actual pictures of my nails with Jamberry wraps.

Jamberry nail wraps are vinyl nail decals.  You apply them using heat and pressure and they protect your nails from chipping, breaking, etc.  They last for up to 2 weeks on your fingers and 4-6 on your toes.  A sheet cost $15 and can do up to 2 full manicures and 2 full pedicures.  Also, the sheets are always buy 3 get one FREE.  In other words, Jamberry nail wraps are AWESOME!

I discovered Jamberry nail wraps about a month ago when a friend of mine did a Jamberry Facebook party (oh yeah, you can do an online party for FREE and earn FREE stuff - awesome!).  I got my free sample, loved it, bought some, loved them even more, hosted an online party, and so began my addiction to Jamberry.  Long story short, I developed an obsession with Jamberry and became a consultant very recently.

If you're interested in a FREE sample from me just fill out this form here.

Couples Photoshoot!

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to our friend Kevin Lee and with him the best with Kozmo Photography.  He's just getting started and asked for volunteers to photograph.  My husband and I volunteered and here are the results.  We should be doing a second round of pics with our puppy, so stay tuned for more!

First Free Weekend in Forever

Ok, so I REALLY need to start blogging again - sorry that it's been so long.  A lot has happened in the past few months.

2) I had my 5 year college reunion.

3) One of my best friends got married!!!!

4)  Before she tied the knot we threw her a magical Harry Potter themed shower (I'm waiting on pictures, but I will definitely post about that one).  And a fun bachelorette weekend too!

5)  We started building a deck for our house!  We're almost done - pictures coming soon!

6)  We did a couples photoshoot with a friend of my husbands!  More pictures to come - I promise!

7) I discovered Jamberry nails and signed up to become a consultant!

8) Another great friend of mine is getting married in October and I also in that wedding.  We're working on planning her shower and her bachelorette weekend now!

Our Newest Addition

We've had a busy few years!

July 2012 - got engaged
March 2013 - moved from Michigan back to NY
July 2013 - bought a house and moved in
September 2013 - got married
October 2013 - honeymooned
April 2014 -  added a new member to our happy family!!

Her name is Lilly and she's a rottweiler mix (at least according to her paperwork) that we rescued from our local Humane Society.

We've had her for a few weeks and our so happy that she has joined our family.  Here's one picture for now!  Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be adding more later.

Do you and your significant other have pets together?  If so, at what point in the relationship did happen?  For us, a dog is such a commitment, we couldn't consider adopting one until after we were married and settled into a house.
