Lets have a moment of appreciation for the looks I served in Miami. And to think I was wearing hoodies in 90 degree weather a few years ago

I always receive messages from women of all ages and all over the world asking me how I learned to be confident. I always answer and sincerely believe that doing something that scares you makes you stronger. Posting a picture of myself in only my undies shook me to my core and made pushed me out of my comfort zone. What have you done to learn to be more confident? I wrote about my little journey on my blog.

I’ve found the secret to making press-on nails last for 2 weeks
The struggle for nail-art-loving-millennials is real.
Either you a) don’t have the time, b) don’t have the steady hand, or c) don’t have the $50 or more to spend at the salon every two weeks.
Enter a ’90s classic: press-on nails!
I’ve been wearing them for a while now and they’re actually pretty amazing. The trick is to use the right glue and to file the surface of your nails beforehand. Follow these five steps and I promise you’ll be able to get 1-2 weeks of wear out of your press-ons.
STEP 1
Clip or file your nails as short as possible so they don’t peek out from under the press-on.
STEP 2
File the surface of your nails. This will create a better grip between the press-on and the glue.
STEP 3
Place a drop of glue on both your nail and the press-on nail. The glue that gives me two weeks of hold is Kiss Precision.
STEP 4
Apply the press-on, making sure that the bottom end pushes ever-so-slightly under your cuticle. Use pressure to hold for five seconds.
STEP 5
Apply a clear nail coat overtop. This step is crucial to give the look of a fresh manicure
TIP: Give your nails a two-week breather between press-ons. The glue can damage your nails if you use it too often. Once a month is safe for me.
