Getting better slowly!

So, for those of you who read my last post and heard about my accident,  I thought I'd give you a little update! I'm definitely better than I was but recovery seems to take forever, and is incredibly boring.

I'm walking much better now, but I still need the aid of a walking frame, and am still rather wobbly on my feet. I find myself slurring certain words, and also find that sometimes I have difficulty manipulating the computer keyboard.

I have high hopes that within a week or so I'll be back to my old self. Fingers crossed.

All my love and for gods sake stay safe....don't pull a "Pennie-ism!" Hospital stays can be very monotonous!

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, as opposed to how I spent mine!

Hello lovelies! Do you remember that post I made a few posts back about how if there was one Polar Bear poo in the North Pole, I'd find it, slip in it, and break my bloody neck??? About how accident prone I am, and how trouble finds me? Yep, you got it!
So, on Thanksgiving I reached over (from an awkward position, I was too lazy  to take the extra step and a half!) to put the pepper away and smacked my head real hard on the oven hood. I bounced away, fell forward again and hit it hard again. As if that wasn't enough, I then fell backwards, hiting the back of my head really hard on the floor, and knocked myself out.
When I came to one or two minutes later I couldn't talk without slurring like a drunk, and I couldn't walk. I called 911, no idea HOW they understood what I was saying, but they did, and within a few minutes the ambulance took me to hospital. Long and short of it is I have spent the last few days in hospital. I still can't walk without the aid of a walking frame, but even then, not too well. My speech is better now. I'll be having physical therapy to strengthen my legs.
The moral of the story is TAKE THE EXTRA STEP WHEN NEEDED!!! Will blog again as soon as I can cos I have double vision right now, and can't see well. Be safe!

Guess what lovelies? You got it! Nail art time!

Hello darlings, I've been getting back into doing my nail art again. I think I got a little bored with it for a bit (can you believe that? Bored? What was I thinking?!) so I didn't do any for a month to 6 weeks, but now I'm back at it, and loving it more than ever. So much fun! Here's my offering from over the last few days, hope you enjoy it!








I know the umbrella one is kind of childish, but I thought it was cute, and I just had to do it! I'd love to hear your thoughts on them all. Hope you're all enjoying your week. Anyone notice winter is well and truly here, argh! I hate it! Bring on the Spring! (But bring me Christmas first, because I like getting my stocking and presents, lol!) Anyway my lovelies, be safe and I'll see you all very soon. All my love. xoxoxo

A fabulous early Christmas gift! This post is dedicated to a wonderful friend.

Hi lovelies!

I received the most amazing Christmas box from one of my friends the other day. Now I know it's not Christmas yet, but I couldn't wait to see what was in the box, so I opened it. Early.
Even though my friend had told me what she was getting for me I was completely stunned by what I saw. Sally Hansen Nail Prisms no less! Not just one or two either, but a whole box of them! I was floored by how stunning they are irl. I'd seen a couple of them prior, don't get me wrong. I'd even owned a couple of them! But this was serious business my lovelies, so much to take in. Here's some pics for you to feast your eyes upon the glory of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms.








Aren't they gorgeous? I'm so happy with them! Thank you to my wonderful friend who is always there to listen to me moan and groan, supports me through thick and thin, and sends me the most amazing gifts! You know who you are darling, and I love you and cherish you and your friendship deeply. Great big hug and a big kiss on both cheeks! I dedicate this post to you girlfriend. Our friendship will last a lifetime. Know that I'm here for you every day of every week, of every month, of every year. You're amazing. xoxoxo

The purpose of this giveaway is to celebrate my 120th post, to celebrate my lovely followers, and also to gain more followers.

Nail art!

Hello my lovelies! I hope everyone is happy and enjoying this gorgeous Indian summer we're having! It's hard to believe we're a week into November, it really is. Now, down to business. I haven't been doing that much nail art lately, and I really miss doing it. Over the past week or so I decided I was missing it so much that I took out my supplies and started doing some more. Like I've told you all before I'm not a natural artist so my work isn't the best, but I like to try and I really enjoy it. I now present to you my lovelies, my latest efforts. As always, any advice and critiques will be gratefully received. Anyway, here you go!

NOTD - Zoya Anaka

Hello lovelys! I hope you're enjoying this gorgeous weather we're having this weekend! I think it's absolutely beautiful out. I've just changed my mani, and I thought I'd show you all which np I opted for. I chose Zoya Anaka, which is a beautiful dark fuschia shimmer with tiny bronze or gold flecks in, I can't tell which. Anyway, here's some pics for your viewing pleasure. Tell me what you think:



So there you go, what do you think? I think it's a really pretty colour myself! Anyway sweeties, enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I'll see you all soon. In the mean time, you take care of yourselves, and stay safe. xoxoxo
