I love me a good Monday off of work.
But sometimes Tuesday, disguised as a Monday, can be tricky!!
Alas, some things lately which make me smile:
- Leg warmers.
Yes really. LOVE them under my boots.

- Nail polish galore!
Lately I became obsessed with painting my own nails (as opposed to going to the salon to have shellac done = $$$). And as a result, I purchased quite a few new colors. I question how much money I’m saving… but still…
Julep Maven Club — Are you familiar with this once a month nail polish awesomeness program??
Julep is another monthly subscription service (similar to shoe clubs and Birchbox), only for nail care products. You take the quiz to determine your “Maven Style”, then continue to sign up and buy your box! (Or not.) The great thing is that you can even do that from month to month! You’re never locked in to one particular style, so you can always choose the box/style that you like best, or opt out.
Every box comes with at least 2 polishes and a full-size hand/nail/body care item.
Other great things about Julep? $1 from every polish sold goes to support an organization for women! Additionally, Julep produces 4-free polishes (no formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, or camphor = nasties!) so it’s even safe for little ones and pregnant women! And you! And the environment!
(PEEEE ESSSS: I got a code in the mail for half off your first box as a Maven Julep = $9.99! contact me, crowndvic at gmail dot com, for deets)
A few of my Julep recent-favs: Anne, Meryl, & Whitney.
And Zoya. I luff their polishes too! (pictured: Ibiza & Kristen)
What are some of your favorites (not restricted to nail polish or fashion faux pas)?
Living in our nation's capital allows me to learn something new every day. So does teaching 2nd graders. My nose piercing and tattoos keep me from normalcy, while my job and religion keep me grounded.
