An Exciting Evening

I have an exciting evening planned.

I am going to watch last night’s Brothers & Sisters on my DVR then I’m going to check in with the Real Housewives of Atlanta and see what those crazy girls are up to. 

And paint my nails.

Now if my cuticles weren’t so nasty and my nails were more even in length, I might paint them this color- 

All A-Bordeaux the Sled!

(I just love OPI nail polish names – so clever!)

So usually when my nails are so short and uneven like today, I’d paint them one of these colors-

No these are not all the same color – they are dramatically different shades of light pink. (Left to right:  Bubble Bath, Sweet Heart, Makes Men Blush)

My daughter loves to tease me about my preference in nail polish colors.  She says I’m either Emo or Angel.  I bet there’s a Cosmo quiz in that little nugget of observation.

Anyway today at Ulta I decided to live large – shake things up a bit.  Tonight I am going with this awesome new color-

Oh yeah.  Pretty radical I know.

?

But I’ve always been a bit of a rebel.

Peace, Kelly

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
