I’m on Triberr and Instagram with Vidya Sury, an extraordinary lady who provides warmth and smiles while acknowledging the difficulties of life in the modern world. Hugs, Vidya!
She posts the most delicious food photos on Instagram, and shared the link to her cooking blog, Cooking With Mi. “Mi” is her mother. The food is mostly Indian and, as my post title says, vegetarian. I’m limited in what I can use from the recipes, since Charlie doesn’t do much spice. But I can always use the “Food. Stories. Tips. Conversations. Laughter. With a heavy dose of love.”
I did my nails again. This time, I got the DIY “transforming top coat” to make cells! I got a little aggressive on the clean-up, so too much space shows between the polish and cuticle, BUT THE CELLS WORKED! I was going for a mani that would match the pashmina our #3 Daughter gave me for Christmas.

My stamping polish is Born Pretty In Fire, and the image is from the Maniology M019 plate.

I don’t have a jazzy little round silicone mat, so I did mine on a plastic sandwich bag.

January 8, 2020 at 4:38amThank you thank you Marian ❤️ you made my day. I’m almost in tears reading your lovely words. I’ve been guilty of not posting as often as I’d like on my food blog. This year I plan to be regular though.
Love your nails. So pretty 😍
