Girl Talk; Nail Polish and Cafe Racers

As I mentioned in my last post, I had lunch with Joy the Baker last week. She had mentioned I should post not only about my jewelry and unique fashion sense, but also about the projects I'm working on. So I'm taking her advice.

Today I painted my own nails. For most this is not a big deal, personal nail painting is a regular occurance in life. For me however, it is not my forte, but I'm trying to be a "Money Saving-ista" (I'm sure that is something), so not paying for a polish change is a good start. I think I did a pretty good job. The blue is Amy by Julep, I like how it is a matte finish, the purple is Ate Berries in the Canaries (seriously who names these) by OPI.

Another part of today of my being a Money Saving-ista is working with the barter system. Last night I couldn't sleep, so I was wa tching Barter Kings, and have now decided I want to barter. My end goal is a cafe racer motorcycle. I have my motorcycle license, but Husband's bike has far too much torque for me. I am just looking for a older, in moderate condition small bike, and I love the vintage look of a cafe racer. What I have to start with is a older Dell laptop and a double batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies oatmeal cookies, I believe those are worth their weight in gold. I know this probably will not supply me with the racer now, but it's a start.

So there is the current life projects. I will keep you updated on how the bartering goes.

Until next time.....
