Favorite Spring Nail Polishes

I don't know about you, but I'm over winter. I was outside with my dogs the other day, and it was cold, and still snowing. I'm ready for Spring. What better way to prepare for Spring than with some beautiful nail polish? Here are my favorites.

L-R Clambake Coral, Shay, Charlotte, Strawberry Margarita, I Need A Refresh-Mint, Insta-This

Color Club "Clambake Coral"- This is a beautiful pastel coral color. It is the epitome of warmer weather. Opaque in 2 coats.

Wet N Wild Megalast in "I Need A Refresh-Mint"- The perfect mint green polish. Every time I put this on my nails, I cannot stop looking at them! The formula goes on streaky with 1 coat, but opaque in 2.

Color Club "Insta-This"- I got a sample of this in my Birchbox, and it is a beautiful cornflower blue. It just reminds you of Spring skies. This is also opaque in 2 coats.

Julep in "Charlotte"- This color is a beautiful purple. It's not too bright, not too pastel. Opaque in 2 coats.

Zoya "Shay"- This might be my favorite nail polish. I absolutely love this color. It is slightly metallic, with hints of pink. This is a slightly thicker polish which takes longer to dry, but this is opaque in 2 coats.

OPI "Aphrodite's Pink Nightie"- This subtle soft pink color is a classic color. It is sheer, and after 2 coats there still might be some visible nail line. You must also be careful when you apply this polish as it can get streaky.

OPI "Strawberry Margarita"- Okay, so this polish may scream Summer, but I love it anyway. I love to put this polish on my toes.

I'll let you in on a secret...my favorite top coat is the $.99 Wet N Wild top coat. It lasts longer on me than Seche Vite, or OPI. Plus, it's cheap. I like that.

What are your favorite Spring polishes? What is one go-to color that I am missing from my collection? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness! In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough. I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here! I...
