After keeping my nails bare for nearly a week due to the move, I was sick of looking at my polish-free fingers! To make up for keeping them bare for so long, I decided to tackle some Halloween-themed nail art. I loved this design I found on Refinery 29 and decided to give it a try at home. I found it was actually pretty easy to recreate. I don’t have any real dotting tools, so I had to make do with a pen, a bobby pin, and pencil lead for each of the three different sizes. I think my evil eyes came out pretty well and I’m thinking of doing one large eye on each nail for my next manicure!
Can we all collectively say it together? TGIF! After such an action-packed weekend last week, I’m so ready for some rest and relaxation this weekend.
Tell me: What are you weekend plans?
![BLOODMARKED by Tracy Deonn (@simonteen #gifted) • This was probably my most anticipated release of 2022 and it was amazing! LEGENDBORN catapulted onto my list of all-time favorite books when I read it a couple years ago and now BLOODMARKED is right up there with it.
I loved being back in this world and back with these characters. Bree is such an incredible main character. She can be critical of herself, but she’s also so brave and strong. She lets herself be vulnerable with her close circle of friends. She loves fiercely and she would go to the ends of the earth for the people that she loves. Throughout this book, Bree has so many questions about her powers. When she finally realizes the answer, I was like “Yesssss, girl, yessssss!!!”
I’m so in awe of the fantasy world that Deonn has created. I loved learning more about Bree’s magic in book 2 and it still feels like there’s so much left to discover about the magical workings of this world.
This book was action-packed up and I did not want to put it down! I saved it for my honeymoon so that I could read it in longer chunks. I’m so glad I did that because I feel like it really allowed me to immerse myself in the world as I was reading.
I enjoyed this book so much, from the character growth, to the battle scenes, to the themes of self-discovery and finding your path. I can’t wait for more people to read BLOODMARKED! If you haven’t read the LEGENDBORN books yet, what in the world are you waiting for??

Thanks so much Jackie! Yes, no better time for creepy eyeballs on your nails than Halloween! ;)
These eyes are so cool! If I had the patience… but you know me. I can barely get a solid color on my nails!
Gracias lady! These actually aren’t that hard- it’s the waiting in between coats that makes it take so long!
