Two weeks ago I had my husband hang up 4 artificial flower hanging baskets on our front porch. I bought those beautiful hanging baskets last year and love them! You don’t know they’re faux until you’re touching them! They’re high-qaulity faux floral hanging baskets that …

Every week I like to sit down for some ME time and paint my nails. In my honest opinion…millions of women waste MONEY by visiting nail salons to get acrylic nails. I’m just not one of them! I use products that allow me to grow healthy and strong “natural” nails at home. There are a lot of great products on the market to help with that and it only takes 15 minutes of week to get beautiful natural nails at home. Enough said on that.

I like to wear dark colors on my nails and often times that includes polishes with glitter. Almost all of the nail polishes that I use are gels. That means that getting that old color off can be time consuming and hard. Over the years I’ve tried about 8 different brands of nail polish removers and keep coming back to my favorite one made by Cutex. It’s their Strength Shield.
Cutex Strength Shield Nail Polish Remover is the best at removing dark colors, gels, glitters, etc. I can typically get all of the color off my nails in less than 7-8 minutes using this nail polish remover. There’s no soaking and hard scrubbing. I juse use a cotton pad dipped into the polish remover and get to work. It’s not a time consuming process when you use the RIGHT products!!!
Another thing I like about this product is that it doesn’t irritate the skin and cuticles around my nails. Furthermore, my nails don’t get all dried out and brittle from using it. There are times that I’ll take all of the color off and then just swipe 2 coats of clear top coat on the top and they still look nice. Why? Because that remover gets all of the color off…no staining or yellowing left behind. It’s my favorite and a must-have in my beauty bag.

It’s been months since I’ve posted one of my rants or pet peeves on the blog. Yeah, I know you all have been missing them. Heck, I’ve been missing them too. A great way for me to release some pent up frustration and stress. So, here ya go…my newset Pet Peeve vented frustration!
How many of you are sick and tired of grocery carts rolling around in the parking lot? How about those shopping carts left in parking spots so that you have to get out of your car to move it…to park in that particular spot? Then you have shopping carts rolling around the sidewalks and blocking them or blocking the door to the store? What the heck is going on with people these days????
I’m sorry, but there are usually designated places in the parking lot or up on the sidewalk where you are supposted to return the cart. Why aren’t you doing that? Too lazy I guess! If there are no designated places…have the common courtesy to take it back to where you got it at the entrance to the store. Still don’t want to walk? Ask a passerby if they would like to take your cart as they’re heading into the store!!!
The only time I think this “bad behavior” should be going on is if it’s a disabled person, an elderly person or something like that who physically can’t get the cart taken back to the proper place. Otherwise, those who are physically capable adults…I find this to be disgusting LAZY ASS behavior! Please return shopping carts to the designated areas!!!
Another thing that irks me about shopping carts is when shoppers leave their damn garbage in the cart. I don’t want your crumbled up paper, wrappers, shopping list or other trash. Throw it away, don’t leave it in the cart! I also don’t want to see your kid’s sticky candy or bubblegum in the cart either. Grant ya…carts are germ-filled receptacles but come on now, let’s not be pigs! Clean up your trash too.
Okay, my rant is over. Anyone else get irked when they see this crap going on?
By the way…the photo I included as taken on one of my recent trips to the grocery store. There were at least a dozen carts rolling around through the parking lot, another 6 of them rolling around the sidewalk as you walk down the sidewalk to get into the store and then right inside the front door 3 more blocking the path. I did go to customer service and alerted them to the shopping cart mess. They sent a worker outside to gather them all. However, I don’t blame the store…I blame the lazy ass shoppers!
