Organized baby: 4 weeks to go

When Darren and I were dating, my mom told me to be sure to always have my nails done, "just in case."  She thought that we could have gotten engaged at any time, and it would be a shame to have a new sparkly ring with crummy nails.  I have to agree.

I know it seems silly, and you are probably thinking that the baby will not care, notice or understand what condition my nails are in.  I just always feel better with nicely painted and manicured nails and toes.

So while I am sure this baby wont make an appearance for a few more weeks... it doesn't hurt to be ready "just in case."

Obsessed with: mint nails

I love this nail polish color.  It is perfect for summer.  Not too light, that it is boring, and not too bright that I will get tired of it in 10 minutes.


While I can still see my toes, they may as well be pretty!

Obsessed with: this shampoo and conditioner

I have frizzy, wavy, out of control hair.  During the cooler months it isn't too much of a problem.  I can easily tame my mane by blow drying straight.  But in the warm Southern summer months, it is another story.

In the past I have done the permanent Keratin straightening process.  This worked well, but the downside is that it may be really bad for you, and also not recommended to do while pregnant.  So that leads me to quicker options.

I have pretty much bought every shampoo, conditioner, and hair product that promises smooth non-frizzy hair.  Anything with the the words "sleek," "shine," "ice," or "straight" I have purchased in the hopes to control my crazy hair.  Usually the results are non-existent.

Well on a recent trip to the supermarket I saw a display of this shampoo, so I figured I would give it a try.  It is great.  I am obsessed!  My hair feels smooth and frizz-free.
