Did you miss me?

Or did you just miss my nails?

No one will be surprised that I managed to find new nail polish while vacationing in the sleepy little fishing town of Ketchikan, Alaska. The economy of Ketchikan is built on fishing and cruise ships – the town is comprised of 90% gift shops, 9% bars and 1% everything else. In addition to the many T-shirts, stuffed animals, totem poles and various sundry tourist knick knacks, I found Caribongo Sun Activated fingernail polish. I got blue glitter – “City Girl” – and silver glitter – “Puttin’ on the Glitz”. As far as I can tell, both turn red in the sun.

…and then my sister took me to her favorite store…Simply Bella. Simply Bella is a boutique that has everything – beauty items, cookware and entertaining, gifts, home fragrance, chocolate, jewelry – just anything you could ever want.

I picked up “Royal Peony Rose & Mandarin Musk” Perfume Oil by Lucy B Cosmetics. I had never heard of Lucy B. – but this perfume oil is the real deal. Here’s a blurb from their website: Lucy B. is the only fragrance and colour range in the world to have infused the natural Australian Flower Essences within their products, offering you a taste of the Australian energy & lifestyle.

…so we went back to Simply Bella a few days later and I stumbled across a 75% Clearance Rack.

I showed some restraint and picked up Coco Rose Tinted Lip Balm in “Blush Pink” by Figs & Rouge. Figs & Rouge is a 100% natural lipcare brand from the UK. Can you see the FLAMINGOS on the balm????

I also grabbed a Butter London Lippy in “Pip Pip”.

I was also introduced to John Kelly Chocolates. Jesus, that shit is GOOD.

One last pic…somehow, I managed to NOT paint my nails during my whole vacation. 10 whole days. For real.

I’m still not sick of Zoya “Sooki”.

This is the nasty tear I suffered at the claws of a Dungeness Crab. I fought the crab and the crab won.

I did have the last laugh…he ended up in my tummy!
