snap crackle pop.

thanks to my niece, i was finally able to try crackle polish.
this stuff is amazeballs and the concept genius. even though you have to wait longer for the layers to dry, you make up time by not having to be precise. just slap it on and
let the polish do its magic.

can't seem to get these butterflies out of my stomach. maybe it's the stress of the holidays as i'm always worried the shopping, wrapping and delivering won't get done in time. we also have a high-stress household this year with my dad's health in question and mini-he's uber terrible-threes phase. hope i don't snap under pressure. but maybe it's the excitement of the holidays and the upcoming get togethers with family and friends and the constant sugar high. in which case, don't pop my bubble!

do the holidays stress you out?

the prettiest tray of mochi...
...this one is filled with haupia (coconut pudding).
(pants, pacsun (buy); sweater, old navy (similar); shoes, nine west)
same black pants worn here.

    awhhh lawwwd, I want all that mochi! I haven't had decent ones in a while now, and I'm just craving the ones with sesame seeds and matcha filling!

    I love the combo of teal and the black crackle on your nails! Don't stress out too much-- remember to take some time just for yourself to chill :)

    I still haven't tried the new crackle polish, I remember the original crackle polish by cover girl in the 90's. You still look amazingly chic under all the stress. Wishing you lots of calm :)

    Your pants are the bomb! Love the pattern. We have your bracelet in necklace form, it's a favorite of ours. The crackle nail polish didn't work for us when we tried it, maybe we didn't let it dry long enough? The holidays kind of stress us out too, hopefully you will hold up under the pressure :)

    I love holidays but I can imagine why they can stress you out.
    Really nice outfit, and the crackle manicure is fantastic. I've used it too in the past.

    Aww I'm sure everything will work itself out, and your holidays will be good!! They are stressful, but I can imagine moreso when you're a mum. I just worry about how I can barely afford to buy things for everyone :(
    I really love these pants, they look soo comfy and are so chic. Really great with that sweater!

    I love crackle polish, I wish I had it in every colour. It looks awesome layered over blue like that! And that blue bracelet is so cool too. I really don't stress too much over the holidays. I don't see myself as obligated to give people gifts and since I don't host any holiday parties or even decorate my apartment, it usually goes by smoothly enough. The only hiccups involve getting my butt the 5 hours back to my home town to be with my family, but that's been solved.

    The only mochi I ever had looked nothing like that! I bought a refrigerated package and baked it at home... it was good but not so pretty!
