You know how I feel about Somme Institute and Gloss 48 but did you also know how I feel about WINNING? Well, I love it very much, and recently I found out that I am the first Gloss [...]
One day last week when I needed a micro-mini-vacay, I decided to go to The Greene for some coffee and a pedicure.
The Venetian, as I’ve said before, is gorgeous inside with a mural on the ceiling of a bright, cloudy day and dual [...]

Halloween Gel Manicure
Hosting a party is serious business and normal nail polish just wouldn’t cut it with all the scrubbing going on at my house. I knew I would need something stronger so I went to Luxury Nail Spa in Vandalia and got a gel manicure with black for the base and [...]
Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else.
