A few things

Posted on January 9, 2008 8 Comments

I’m working on a few posts of significance, including an update on my 2007 financial progress and my 2008 New Year’s resolutions. Until then, perhaps I can keep your interest with these two budget-friendly items:

1) My best friend’s playlist. She has great taste in music, if you’re in to indie rock or a more mellow variety that you can listen to at work. Check it out here. Thanks Frags, for being so cool.

2) Need a manicure but hate paying $15-20 every time? Here’s a great option that I’ve tested and LOVED more than hazelnut coffee (which is a pretty huge compliment from this lady).

InCoco Dry Nail Applique, which retails for about $6.00 per packet, is easy to do and looks great. They’re basically stickers for your nails that deliver polish in a convenient, no mess format, with no drying time required. The colors are great (they have black, a dark purple-y shimmer, gold and of course the basic pinks and reds).

Though a regular old bottle of polish is definitely cheaper, I can’t get my nails to look impeccable and usually smudge the polish long before it can dry. And I absolutely HATE paying for professional manicures. This is a good solution.

I generally wear clear from the bottle every day, but will be switching to InCoco for color due to its ease of use. (Plus, I have tons of bottles of barely-used polish lying around my apartment going to waste. If you like to switch your color up, this is for you.)
