Mississippi Mud Ya'll!

Doesn't it look delicious?

The cake has dark chocolate cocoa, chopped pecans and coconut shreds inside, which is baked and then topped with marshmallow cream while still hot. Once cooled, its frosted with more dark chocolate.

The recipe for this cake was given to me by a fellow band geek's mom after I told her how wonderful her cake was. That was..well.. lets just say many moons ago. I misplaced the recipe and I thought I had lost it forever without ever getting to make the cake myself. I was cleaning out my cookbook cabinet and spotted a little book that I didn't remember having. It was one of those that you fill with your own favorite recipes. I opened it up and lo and behold there was Mississippi Mud Cake and my Grandpa's meatloaf recipe!

Have you ever found something you thought was gone for good?

The Dr. is in! (and so is purple!)

PR Sample

Today I have a beautiful polish to share with you!

Simply packed with glitter in various colors and sizes of micro blue, small red hex, and medium silver hex.
Its Seuss' hat all swirled together in a blue base that matches the color of the book cover.
Pam really nailed the color palette and made the most beautiful Seuss I've ever seen. :)

Lets take a look, shall we?


How about a closer look?


I wore it for a week and let me tell ya, I had to persuade myself to remove it!
Its so unbelievably gorgeous!

The first three days I wore two coats topped with Seche Vite. Just look at the depth and shine!


On about day four, I topped it with Hard Candy's matte top coat for a more cartoony / book look:


I recently changed the colors of my blog from a brown/tan/blue theme to purple and green. Ah to be back in purple! <3

Thank you for visiting, I would love to hear what you think of the polish and the new color theme. :)

How to Remove balls from your polish

I was so taken by Chalkboard nails photo of Windestine's black and white polishes that I had to have them!

They've arrived and had their balls removed because Freda sent a proactive email to let me know that the balls were not stainless. Non-stainless balls will corrode over time and ruin the polish. This rarely happens in the indie world any more, but if you're buying second hand, this article may be helpful to you!



I also removed them from my Enchanted polishes.


The best way I have found to remove the balls is take off the lid, cover the bottle opening/mouth with a plastic baggie or saran wrap, place a strong magnet on top of the baggie over the mouth to sort of seal it. Holding the magnet against the mouth of the bottle with your hand turn the bottle over and listen for the balls to click to the magnet. Tip it back over and carefully pull the magnet away from the bottle mouth, the balls and bag will come with it, turn the baggie out so the balls are inside it. It takes about a minute and is virtually mess free.
