One strike and your out!

Do you ever read all the rules and regulations when you sign up for something? No!! I think most of us would say.

If you make a mistake or do something wrong unknowingly don't you expect to at least be given another chance to correct your mistakes? Yes! Except if we kill someone of course! Even then you are given chances in jail to better yourself.

Well I woke up this morning to find my Adsense account had been disabled due to invalid activity i.e. Too many clicks from the same IP's. Well unfortunately until about a week and half ago I didn't know asking for clicks was wrong. Yeah! I'm guilty of not reading the rules... :( my daughter told me and I said I didn't know that. So i quickly started deleting all the times I'd asked on my blogs because I didn't want this to happen. Turns out that my wonderful daughters being supportive and loving were still clicking the ads. Not aggressively by any means just a twice per blog post. I do understand why it's wrong to ask now I'm more informed.

To get a lifetime ban however is a little harsh especially when your new at something it is incredibly unfair. Everyone makes mistakes when they're first learning something. Also I lost the money I had earned from my blogs. Some of which could been from legitimate followers! What really upsets me too is all the money I earned from my monetized videos on YouTube also was taken by Adsense. That money I earned completely honestly without breaking any rules!! I was getting ready to make some more videos of my own and now I feel what's the point if I don't have Adsense!!

I'm sorry my lovelies I hope you understand why I'm so upset today. If any of you have dealt with this yourselves or know someone who has could you leave me a message in the comments box below. If any of you can help or show me support I would love that too! 

Yours always

Delicate Pink Valentines Nails

This weeks Valentines nail is a more feminine and demure design. I hope you like it. This is all done freehand so if you like designs that are more artisan then I think you'll love this.

The above photo shows what I used to achieve the design. If you would like a list of what I used please leave a comment below.

So first start with clean hands and nails with your cuticles pushed back and trimmed if needed. Put on your favourite base coat, a strenghtening base coat is best. The background colour I used is a French tip color called Scarlet by Zoya no. ZP367.

I found that I needed three coats to achieve the color in the bottle. You'll need to wait and good amount of time to make sure all those layers have dried so I suggest about fifteen minutes between each layer and then about thirty after you have put the third coat on.

To add the art to your nails you will need a margarine lid or something similar to put the acrylic paint on. Then you will need a dotter brush or bobby pin and a short stripper brush.

The acrylic paint color I used is Spun Gold. It's a brown gold which gives it an antique look I think. To make the heart I used the stripper brush. Place the brush on the nail and slowly lighten the pressure as you pull down and lift quickly. You should have an upside down teardrop. Then do it again but pull it down toward where you finished your first teardrop and ta da! You will have a heart. I made each nail completely different to make them more artsy and less sticker like. Fill in the empty spaces using the dotter brush/bobby pin making dots in lines from top to bottom. Finish with your favourite fast dry top coat to seal in the acrylic paint and give you a beautiful shine.

I love how they turned out don't you? Very pretty and wearable for work. 

Hope you loved this weeks mani as much as I do, till next week my Lovelies.

Disneyland's 30th Anniversary Parade

I've decided to make a series of blogs on my 1985 honeymoon visit to Disneyland. As you can see above I'm going to be sharing photos of the 30th Anniversary Parade at Disneyland. I hope you enjoy them. 

Aren't the photos amazing! All this taken with an old Pentax roll film camera. I was so pleased that my husband found them.

For all of you that have been there recently and all the annual pass holders you must get a real kick out of seeing how much Main Street has changed i.e. Colors of the buildings, the costumes etc..

I was only twenty years old when we got married and I remember being so happy to be at Disneyland again. It was so great to share my Disney passion with my new husband too!

That anniversary sign on the float was made with lots of silver metal disks that fluttered and caught the sun. It was so beautiful!

Minne mouse looks amazing doesn't she? Question has float safety changed? I don't think she's strapped to the float in this picture. 

Goofy being his playful self in this shot. I'm so glad I get to share these memories with all of you and that this platform of blogging is helping me leave something of myself for my family.

I hope you're all enjoying this trip down memory lane with me so that's it for this weeks Disney blog.

See yah real soon!!

Time flies by so fast!

Doesn't time go by too fast? I feel like it was yesterday I was a young mom with my first daughter. Now all my daughters are moved out and have significant others and children of their own. My mom is in her golden years and recently she has been figuring out what she's leaving everyone when she passes. I'm going to be the big 5 0 this March. It's like STOP!! Why can't we freeze time for awhile and live in that moment for longer. It hit me yesterday evening like a huge ton of bricks and I cried and wished that mum wasn't getting so close to leaving this earth. I'm the baby of the family and I guess way more attached to her. In recent years we've become good friends and I no longer see her as just my parent I see as a woman. As i get older i appreciate the woman and her life journey so much more than I used to. She's a wonderful person and a great mother. She's been my inspiration for so long. I really didn't acknowledge that till recently. That's the cruel part of life I think you don't know what you've got till it's gone. That brings me back to time flying. I wished that I had seen my mother as I do now, much earlier in my life so I could have enjoyed her company for longer. Let my experience be a lesson to you. Really look at your parents see them as people not as your parents understand their life journey and what's made them who they are today. Really contemplate that for awhile. It can be tough to forgive something's but trust me get past it as quickly as you can because life is short and your parents won't be around for long. Don't live with regret that you never solved past conflicts with them. I make sure my mum knows ever time I'm with her how much I love and appreciate her. 

Okay my Lovelies go hug your parents for me.

Mish Mosh V Day Nails

So I thought I'd treat you guys to another manicure this week. Just 'cause I love ya! So to start make sure your nails are free of oils and your cuticles are trimmed and pushed back. Grab your favourite base coat and paint your nails. I used my favourite Nutra Nails Green tea strengthener. I used three Colors for this look as you can see so alternate the three Colors.

Once you've allowed all the Colors to dry next comes the fun part, decorating...Yay! The the thumb, index and pinkie I chose to do a racing stripe design using the two Colors that aren't the base color. Starting with a wide stripe in the centre and a narrower line on top. I chose to make the ring finger shine and put a chunky silver glitter polish on it. 

Last and certainly not least the middle finger. As you can see I chose it to be the white nail so I thought I try my hand at doing a camo design. It's a lot simpler than you think. All you have to do is dot the red and pink polish on the nail in different sizes and shapes all over the nail letting the white show through.

Now all that's left is to add your favourite fast dry top coat. I always use Sally Hansen's Insta Dri top coat.

Voilà! There you have it a mish mosh design that's fun and cute. I hope you all like it.

Thank you my Lovelies

1985 Magic Kingdom Club Guide Book

This is a guide for a club similar to today's Disney Vacation Club. As you can see this brochure is thirty years old yet still in mint condition. It's been sitting in a box in our basement for most of that time. To tell you the truth I didn't know we still had it till my husband went searching for our honeymoon photos. The next few photos are of the inner pages of the brochure. 

What fascinates me the most are the people in the photos and the hotels that are still standing and the ones that names have changed. Check out the ad for PSA!

Look at the prices! They're so expensive now. 

Look how much smaller Disney world was...!

Check out the old car and rental prices.

The next brochure isn't Disney but I thought some of you might get a kick out of it too!

Ha ha! The A Team! I hope you enjoyed looking at the photos and reminiscing with me those of you who are old enough to to remember. The ones who aren't quite as ancient as me, I hope you thought it was neat to see the difference from then to now.

Hope you enjoyed this weeks Disney blog :)

Till next time my Lovelies keep on clicking!

Oh Gawrsh!
