Easy Nail Art

Hey guys! I don't wear my nails paintd to often because working at a bar they don't last very long. Last night I got the bug and wanted to try out something new. I went to Pinterest for some inspiration and found this design.

The pin used tape, which would give you much cleaner lines, but I used a fine tipped paintbrush. And they turned out well enough. Although next time I think I am going to try it with the tape.

(Remember when your using tape to make sure you let the first color dry completely or it will rip off the other color and you'll have to start over. I've made this mistake before and it's quite frustrating. Wait for them to dry and then wait a little longer)

Do any of you guys have any easy nail designs that you love?!

Bits N Pieces of The Bennett Garden: Final Planting Phase

We tilled the whole plot by hand. It took a lot of time and body aches but I really feel like the more love and hard work you put into your garden the better your produce will be :)

Houdini LOVES to help...of course.

We tilled a few inches into the ground and then added 15 (1 cubic foot) bags of Miracle Grow Garden Soil, two 40lb bags of Cow Manure and three 40lb bags of Top Soil, with a little bit of Peet Moss.

I've got big plans this year, so I went ahead and got one of those pop green house thingys in addition to my DIY Seed Starters,

Initially we didn't till all the way to the end of the bed on one side because it can get pretty soggy; we ended up using the bag of Miracle Grow we saved and planted some flowers and herbs.

What better way to relax after a day in the yard than by sitting by a fire with the person you love?!

Are you guys gardening this year?!
