based on your reaction, probably not

So Bryan went to St. Louis yesterday morning and got back this afternoon.

He texted me 20 minuted before he got home to let me know he was almost here.

I had a fresh fruit smoothie waiting for him and we sat on our back patio with Cali to drink them.


As I raised my glass to my mouth Bryan said, "What did you do to your nails?"

Me: I got 'em done yesterday. My toes too! **lifting my foot up to show him**

Bryan: But what color is that?

Me: Black.

Bryan: Why though? Is it like clothes? Do black nails make your fingers look thinner?

Me: Are you kidding me right now??? **laughing hysterically** It's growin' on me. I kinda like it! It's been in trend for a couple years.

Bryan: It has? But your toes are always a bright color **implying he likes them that way**

Me: I know. My mom said that when I see her, her and I will go get pedicures together.

Bryan and Me: **laughing because we know that that means my mom thinks it's super hideous and wants me to change the color a sap!**

Me: You know celebrities have been doing it for a while now. Even Jennifer Anniston. Oh, and you know who does it too? Lauren Conrad... and that girl doesn't have an edgy bone in her body!

Bryan: But would you do it again?
Me: Um, based on your reaction... probably not.

  12. hahahah I loved this post!

    I think I maybe told you this when you were considering black, but here's what went down between me and the boo.

    I had been wearing black nail polish for awhile.... I went to visit him and he looks at my nails and says "oh so you're still doing that?" hahaha

  15. I don't even bother painting my nails. They'd get chipped in a second.

  16. My husband reacted similar when I tried a grayish purple (usually I stick to light pink)!

  17. one more thing, I have never come across a guy who "likes" black nails. My husband doesn't get it at all, he's like, "why are you wearing black on your nails" but I like it. so does my grandma. she always has it on her toes and hands :)

  18. hahahhah... that post was funny!! I imagined my dad saying the same thing, scared by the black nails... I do like wearing black nails once in a while though, I think it looks sophisticated lol!
    I found your blog wondering around. I'm following, your blog is pretty cool! I think it's amazing you can travel the world working! Do you have any tips for when going to europe? (France, England, Rome, Italy??) :D
