The Pretty Pear

Yay for happier things...

Thanks for all the great comments on my last two posts. So many people have sleep apnea, it's just so common. The good part is that it's treatable. The bad part is that the treatment is kind of annoying and expensive. I don't think I could afford to have sleep apnea without health insurance but that's a topic for another day. On to happier things, for now.

Philosophy is offering 20% off everything on their website through July 12th with the code twentypercent. Philosophy is one of my very favorite beauty brands and I use many of their products every day, including the Purity cleanser and the Amazing Grace line.

I have a family party this weekend and I'll be wearing this knit maxi dress in pewter. It's roomy in the bust area on me so if you're well endowed, or better endowed than I am, you might like it. It has adjustable straps so that's a definite bonus. Just make sure to wash it in cold water and hang dry because it shrinks in length. It's no longer maxi length on me but that's fine. I like everything else about it, including the nice cotton material. Oh and short ladies can wear the long dresses, too. I'd recommend a solid color rather than a print but don't be afraid of the maxi trend!

I'm so excited to have finally found a pastel aqua nail color that looks good on me! It's by the brand Orly and it's called Gumdrop. My fav nail blogger Scrangie has pics here. It's on my toes right now and I love it. I found it at ULTA, along with the purple from the same collection. I might need to pick up a couple more colors.
