Revlon colorstay in rich raspberry

I’m impressed. Or should I say I am re-impressed. Or maybe I should say that I just remember that I am impressed with Revlon Colorstay. 

My old standby. I have used this for… How many years? I can’t even count how many.

I pulled this, one of my very favorite colors, off the shelf last week, to give it a whirl. Again. 

And I’m experimenting with things that I should’ve been doing all along. Like wearing gloves when I wash the dishes, and added another clear top coat every other day. Its hard to get in the habit.

But I think it clearly helps. This is a picture of my polish on day nine. No kidding. This is nine days with polish on these nails. And I am not gentle with my nails.

But, the sad news is this entire line has been discontinued in favor of the “new” gel polish.  Looks like my days of grabbing my old favorite might be coming to an end. 

 

Saturday morning.... errr.... afternoon

Saturday morning is getting a very late start this weekend thanks to a Friday night staying up until 2 AM doing a deep dive into… Of all things… Van life.

It seems like the hot new thing to do. So many YouTube channels. Last night, me and my husband stayed up watching the YouTube channel where is Tiffany? It’s just so interesting to see someone who just travels around and lives in their van. And she was visiting a lot of places I’m interested in, in north California- Oregon -Washington-Montana area. So just seeing the scenery, and the national parks, is just a plus.  

When the world opens up again, I’ve got plans.

So, am I thinking about selling everything, Becoming a minimalist and living in a camper van? No indeed. But I am thinking about renting a van/RV and going on a driving vacation. 

Then, this morning, instead of getting up and getting started, we laid in bed watching more YouTube videos but this time the ones discussing the characteristics of each of the camper vans. Some of those motorhomes look like a real house inside and cost more than a real house would..... a whole lot more.

But, I can only do that for so long. After a late breakfast and a long hot shower, Saturday morning is about the fly lady routine. Am I still doing this? Yes indeed. Stronger than ever. I even became a Patreon member of the Flylady Kat group.  Excessive? Perhaps a little. But it keeps my mind focused on what I ultimately want to do, and that is to stop letting this house get away from me. Live in a tidy, organized, clean space.

Seems silly, but heck. This is just what I like to do. 

In fact, One of my favorite things to do was refresh the laundry room. I did that a couple of weeks ago. Got a little slim metal cart that fits between the washer and dryer, and cleaned everything out well. Rearranged. Got a new light fixture in because it was always dark in that little room. And today, the husband is painting the laundry room.  

I love to see progress. 

Hello again ?

 It feels like I’ve been gone from this space a whole lot longer than I have been. 

Has it only been two years?

Of course, it’s Impossible to try and catch up. There is no catching up. So I guess there’s just starting where I am and sharing. Or not sharing? 

I kind of miss this little spot of mine. 

Let’s see if I missed enough to keep it up again?
