These are posts about me personally.
Think of it as a “dear diary” post.
End of Stays
Yesterday was the last day of my Staycation and I was back to work today. That meant that last night I had to get my nail varnish off, and trim my nails back a bit. I generally wear them as…
Staycation: Update 3

Fashion update
