Toadarrific Vinyls - (updating......)
A Monday Blog Post!
I just want to give everyone a few updates on some stuff i am working on. I have been doing a mad amount of stuff lately. My kids keep me busy like always so most times when i am doing a blog post for everyone i am on my phone doing it. So most times i need to get myself on here and fix it. Then i take whatever photos i placed in my blog and organize them. So it takes some time to get just one post done! I don't know how these people do them daily. Shit sometimes i change my mind 2 days later and then edit them, Most times i let people know when i update my blog.
I don't talk about my kids much or the struggles with them. Wait i don't believe i have ever said anything. lol but here it goes. I am gonna fill everyone in on some things that i rarely share with people that i don't know personally. People judge other's and i don't need people judging me for my children and for things that are beyond my own control.
I have an 11 yr old son named Carl who has Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Smith Magenis Syndrome (SMS), PDD-NOS & Intellectual Disability. He is a severely special needs child which requires constant (24 hr/7 days a week) watching! Yes that means someone has to be right there with him at all times. He is an 11 yr old who has a brain of a 2 yr old. Yes it's challenging but he is the best kid you could ever ask for. His needs are there and are always #1. I currently have a facebook page for Carl. Called Carl's Journey which you can click ---> Here <--- to check it out! Give it a like, share it. Carl will appreciate it! :-)
I also have a 6yr old daughter named Lillee who apparently thinks she is a teenager and has goals! lol Yes she has goals in life. Amazing when you don't limit your children in life. She wants to be a makeup artist and a rock star! lol She is an ambitious one! She is in Kindergarten and has tested in the Superior range already. She is a smart one that wants a YouTube channel of her own! She is too young (even though there is already 6yr olds doing the same thing she wants to do) but still in my eyes yes way too damn young.
So on top of all the kids got going on i have stuff for myself & then i keep up with the husbands stuff. Ugh ya a wife & mom's work is really never done. haha but i do take some time out for myself to give me a sanity break when needed. I love the help i get for Carl cause it gives me time to settle and put my attention to Lillee. Btw having 2 kids (one severely special needs) alone is a task in itself people! It gives me the chance to do my nail's and show them to the world via this blog. Somedays i wonder if people really do read these. I know some do cause we discuss them through message. I get no comment's and i wouldn't really know if people even come here if it wasn't for this counter on my blog. Do i think it's correct sometimes? Hell NO!! I think it likes to fuck with me honestly. So as my time doing all this just to help me keep my head straight actually does not come as often as i would like. This is just for fun & i am not out for a buck over my pictures or opinion. If you like it hey cool come back and check it out again. If not it's no skin off my ass unless your an asshole about it. I don't care about opinions unless i need/want to.
If i haven't scared you off yet here is some more stuff! :-)
I am a consultant with Jewelscent. I have been working my tail off to get my own personal goals with Jewelscent achieved. I don't know what i have to do to get people to at least test it out! Buy one damn candle. If you don't like it then hey don't buy it again! IF you love them buy more and host a party to get FREE PRODUCTS... Ya i said FREEEEE!!!! Ya got that? So why do people not want to host a party! It's like hey i love this i am hosting a party come see what is happening and decide if you want to try this your self! You could get so many more people to see what kind of awesome product this is! It's worth it in the end all cause of the jewelry inside! What if you got a token on your very first candle? Did you know that means you already made 3xs back what you paid for that candle? Ya people think about it? Take a damn chance! I am not asking you to spend your retirement.

Winstonia See-Thru Clear Transparent Stamper with Cap
So here is my review!!
About:
Winstonia See-Thru Clear Transparent Stamper with Cap & Scraper Card for Nail Art Stamping
Stars: 4 1/2
Shop: HERE
Review:
When i got the stamper i looked it all over! Then i cleaned it via direction's on the Web. Once i got it clean and dried (damn process takes way too long for me) I picked a color that was gonna be dark enough for the stamp to be shown. So I took Poparazzi's Money Honey and went to town on a stamping plate. LOL but in all honesty i didn't have all my tools i normally would have with me when i started this! I wanted my review to be honest but not be a hot mess. Wait technically this has already turned into a hot mess! lmao
So 2 designs were done! ( Stamping Plate Manufacture/creator is unknown! But the code on it is HN05-A) as you can tell from the picture below that the designs are pretty cool! I did the first image without a problem. It needs more fine tuning! lol

A girl who has a simple request....
I don't know how to start this off. So here it goes!!
My friend Jess asked me to share her go fund me page that is for her daughter. Aiyanna.
Aiyanna has one simple request for her father Brandon!!
SHE WANTS HER DAD TO HAVE A HEADSTONE.....
So heres the thing. He died of a heroin overdose. From what they understand he was drugged. The guy he was in the cell with made a batch of hooch and put heroin in it. Brandon has never ever done heroin in his life so they truly dont believe he drank it knowing that was in there. And the police are making it out like he brought the drugs into the jail. Hes been in jail since 2009 how the hell did he get it? Lol. Makes no sense. His mom has a lawyer and everything trying to get the truth. Originally they were going to charge the cell mate with drug induced homicide but decided not to last minute. And they truly think that's why nobody wants to help. People are looking at it like why help a heroin addict? Or thats how they feel they look at.
Aiyanna gets upset going there every week and seeing just dirt laying there. When all the other graves have these nice headstones with the peoples names. She wants that for her daddy as well. Funeral cost his mom $8000 which shes still paying off and cant afford to put up anymore money.
So the headstone is gonna got about 1,200. The cemetery told his mom the cheapest was $800 plus cost to dig and place it so about $1200. But they found a site that has them for about $350. But right now they cant even afford that.

Holiday Mani's & Polishes
I purchased a Christmas trio from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer. Yes i know i have to be obsessed with them i am always posting about them! You want to know why??? Well it's one of the only polish brands that will stick to my nails longer than 3 days. My nails always have had this shitty shinny coat on them. I normally have to wash my hands, then rub them with polish remover and buff them a bit. With this polish i don't even have to do any of that lol My nails are not like most that swatch polishes. I am a SAHM, I am busy nonstop. My hands represent the mom on the go with no time for her self. I may not do a clean up depends on how much time i have. I always take a pic before clean up.
Make It Merry - A Christmas Duo that has 3 polishes
So the polishes were $30 and they were full size or pay $20 for the mini's.
You can check out her other awesome polishes HERE
Santa Baby - A cherry red holo
Under The Mistletoe - A green holo
Winter Kisses - A slightly scattered holo & shimmery blue
I had 2 mani's! I started working with them all and as i went i changed my mind. I normally do that while i am mid mani. lol But in the end they both came out awesome. I will admit that i am always forgetting to put a top coat on my nails, so one mani has a top coat on and the other don't. Can u tell what one does? lol You prob will find this hard. Also the one with the top coat peeled quicker than the one with out! Fun fact there! Another fun fact, Don't mix Julep's Liquid Holographic polish with Seventy Seven, It makes the whole mani peel off! I have pictures to show for that below.
#1 was with the Santa Baby & Under The Mistletoe.
I did an alt color combo on this. They were beautiful, loved the holo in them and didn't dull fast. This lasted on my hands for about a week.
#2 was with Winter Kisses, Platinum 2.0 & Julep's Vanessa
I loved this polish, it gave me so much sparkle with the holo. But i topped it with Juleps Vanessa and on my ring finger was Platinum 2.0 from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer, I wanted them to look like snow was glistening on them! Look was accomplished. It spent a week on my nails.
New Year's Eve Duo!!
New Year, New Blue - Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer
Glittery New Year - Turtle Tootsie Polish
In the duo you will receive:
2 mini polishes - "New Year, New Blue" & "Glittery New Year"
1 mini top coat & 1 glass file
1 lip balm - Strawberry Vanilla Mint, either lightly tinted or untinted (random selection)
Choice between pink or black sequin bag
It was $20 and it had 2 mini polishes. One from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer & One from Turtle Tootsie Polish. They also came with a cute little bag (black or pink) mine was pink, a nail file, a chap stick maid by Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer called Kissing Fools (love it) it's the one i received and a top coat. Yes they are mini but they are awesome also! The pictures will blow you away!!
I just did a regular mani with an accent nail. 3 lite-med thick layer's of Seventy Seven's polish with 1 coat of the Glittery New Year. It could easily be awesome with one heavy layer but in my opinion it's better to layer more that to have a glop on your nails. I let mine completely dry before adding more layers. My ring finger on both hands are normally picked as the accent nail. But i changed it up this time.
