I’ve loved doing my nails since I was first allowed to when I was probably 11 or 12 years old.

I’m happy to report that I’ve been doing an excellent job saving money by not running to the nail salon every time I need my nails done. I’ve been having a great time getting creative and tackling the job myself and Monday evenings before hitting the gym seem to be the operative time [...]
Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else. I started this blog as a way to showcase the best of Dayton (as seen through my perspective) and also to share some of the things that occupy space in my mind, namely beauty, home decor, quotes, and various aspects of my life.
