Plant Pics!

Look at all of the new growth on my little crested baby. 😍

Better shot of these weird little blooms. I am so happy!

More blooms! 🌸

This is the crazy long stalk. It's doing the most. 😂

Up - close of one of my Echeverias blooms. 🌸

This isn't nail art, but I'm proud of it anyway.

This isn't nail art, but I'm proud of it anyway. One of these nails is a reconstruction. As most everyone knows I struggle with psoriatic disease. Sometimes it attacks my bones. Since I was 13 or so, it has attacked my skin. Over the last couple of years I've had 2 fingernails affected.

I think it's pretty obvious which nail is fake (the pointer finger), but I feel that at a glance it's not noticeable. I know it's not perfect, but I'm not upset. This was my first attempt at sculpting with hard gel. Also, more importantly - having this protection over my damaged nail is a lot more comfortable and is preventing additional damage from snags.

Wearing Light of Lyra by Tonic. Picture of the nail damage below the next paragraph (it's not gory, but just FYI in case you are bothered by that).

This is the reconstructed nail without polish. As you can see, my actual nail is trimmed short and then cut away almost down to the cuticle where it had lifted away from the nail plate. Believe it or not, it was really sore before I cut away all of the un-attached nail. Since psoriasis makes cells reproduce too fast, there was pressure and buildup under the nail. Removing it didn't hurt at all and made it feel a lot better, but left it vulnerable to snags and I was constantly messing with it. Now it is protected.

Since the gel is clear I can remove the polish to check on how my nail is doing. If the pressure from the psoriasis returns I can easily remove the gel, clean my nail plate, and replace it. Added bonus is that I can make it look super similar to my other nails while I wait for it grow out. 😊

Two weird little blooms are forming on this weird little plant. I love it so much! ❤️

Pretty pink echeveria blooms. 🌸

Shaun and our tortoise son, Nom.

Shaun and our tortoise son, Nom. Nom is so funny. He loves to be held and petted and talked to.

Pardon the hallway. I'm not finished painting. And all of that laundry is what Shaun washed recently. It's all on our to-do list.

Shaun has been off work for a few days.

Shaun has been off work for a few days. He's cleaned the den, rearranged in the den and my living room, decided the towels smelled funky and washed them all with bleach (they smell like fancy hotel towels and I love it), washed the couch covers, and I think he's vacuuming right now (I'm not sure - I'm still laying in my bed like a lazy lump [I know it's almost 3 pm but DO NOT JUDGE ME, I'M ON VACATION 😂😂😂]). He did most of this stuff while I sat in my room alone, photographing and cataloging my plants. I'm pretty much done with my project. Maybe if he's done with his cleaning rampage, we can spend the rest of his off days chilling together.

Sorry, y'all, I won at husbands. He's the best one and I can't be convinced otherwise. ❤️

I feel like this seller spoils me!

I feel like this seller spoils me! One of my favorites, for sure! And the selection is wonderful! 💚💚💚
